I don't understand why people love this place. They always get my simple order wrong and service is terrible. If you are having lunch alone, they almost sit you in the kitchen.

Best mexican food (so far) in Dallas

by njs29 at Citysearch

This is my favorite mexican restaurant in Dallas (so far).

Unlike some other mexican restaurants in the area (ie Chuy's) where only a couple of the items are truly good, everything I, and my family, have eaten here is great. My personal favorite: Veggie Fajitas (lots of various veggies including squash, zucchini, mushrooms, tomatoes, not just onions and bell peppers)

Ambiance:

Great for large parties, or quiet dining. Family friendly.

Service:

EXCELLENT service. quick and responsive. I have never been there when it is crowded (even on a Friday or Saturday), so service has always been great.

Alternatives:

I haven't found any other mexican restaurants with as good of a selection, quality, and price, but these are worth a try:

Joe T Garcia's in Fort Worth

Chuy's - stick to the burrito or nachos

Fabulous Patio and Great Margaritas

by daskds123 at Citysearch

We love this place! The patio is one of the best in Dallas! Secluded from the street, protected from the winds with a dripping fountain - perfect for Texas Summers. Many regulars can be found sipping margaritas and eating tasty Mexican food. Like 9 different types of Chile Rellanos - and not a one of them battered and deep fried. So good! Well stocked bar and they make a mean Mojito as well. The kids and adults all like this place. I am sorry one guy had such a bad experience. Ask for Arnold next time and he will fix any problems you have!

• Pros: Margaritas
• Cons: Some waiters attitudes

Great, creative Mexican food

I am also reluctant to leave reviews, but having read johnjohn's review I felt that another opinion was needed. Casa Milagro is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the DFW area - aside from Javier's which doesn't really count as competition. I have eaten lunch and dinner there dozens of times (my waistline is proof) and absolutely love the food. While the brisket tacos and chili rellenos (8 varieties) are divine, in actuality, I have never had a bad meal there at either lunch or dinner. Like most restaurants, they get crowded and service can sometimes be slower than you would like, but the place is crowded for a reason. Every single person I have introduced to Casa Milagro has loved the place and you will also.

The owner put in many years at M Group restaurants (Mi Cocina, Mercury etc.) and learned more than a thing or two about how to run a great restaurant. Be sure to go by in the evening so you can sit on the patio and try the margaritas. Again, I don't think anyone is making a tastier drink. Don't listen to johnjohn, try it for yourself. You will see why there is always a good crowd.

• Pros: Great with both traditional and creative Mexican cuisine
• Cons: Can sometimes be crowded and require a short wait.

Great food and service

I normally don't provide reviews but after reading the one left by johnjohn I couldn't just let it be the only opinion on Casa Milagro.

I've lived in Dallas for about 7 years now and I have to say Casa Milago has the BEST brisket tacos I ever had. I haven't had anything this good since we used to go visit my Grandmother for Sunday lunch and she shredded the meat with her own hands. The portions are very generous, just like abuelita used to serve. You also have to try their mojitos. They are awesome and I dare you to try just one. It even has real sugar cane, a nice authentic touch.

Every time I?ve been there the service was great. They work in teams so as the server is greeting you the chips and salsa are being placed on the table. I speak a limited amount of Spanish but I enjoy trying to do my greetings, thankings, and ordering in Spanish. The server stays in step with me and always gives me a big smile for my feeble attempts.

If you like authentic Mexican food and you like a family feel to your restaurants, I strongly suggest you try Casa Milagro. Hey since I?ve been writing this review it?s made me crave it and now I?m going for lunch (can?t wait). Hope to see you there!

• Pros: service, tacos, mojitos
• Cons: a little pricy, but not too bad
