El Milagro

The service and ambiance is nice inside or patio. My adult son and I ate steak fajitas last week for first time and were very impressed. Although guacamole on the side is $15.00! The food was wonderful. Tonight we had steak burritos supreme and were disappointed as it was very bland and not great. Next time will just order fajitas.

We had a wonderful lunch here at a very fair price. We ordered a steak taco with chile sauce, which was delicious, and a shrimp and scallop salad which included a surprisingly generous heap of perfectly grilled seafood on top of very fresh greens and vegetables, with a wonderful warm dressing. The service was excellent, and we enjoyed the sunny patio. Highly recommended!

We visited this place for lunch. Started with couple of pitchers of margaritas, guacamole, fajitas, enchiladas etc. chips and salsa were also excellent. Great service and very tasty food.

We got some, Corn 🌽 yum Nachos with steak. My favorite 😋 Chile Colorado Margarita 🍹 perfect 👌🏾 Burrito 🌯 kids loved Our server was attentive to our orders. The tables were cleared as plates were emptied. New cutlery was provided with each new meal. The ambiance was perfect. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Stationed at the site of the historic Owl Cafe, El Milagro is nothing short of world class Mexican food specializing in guisados and these are some of the best we’ve eaten outside Mexico City. Dishes are exceptionally executed and served with hand made tortillas and savory mayacoba beans. The costillas in the bright tomatillo sauce was an absolute hit. My wife who’s vegetarian loved the papas con rajas. Staff are attentive and care deeply about providing the best service. Lovely outdoor seating, spacious interiors great for large groups.

We ordered the mixed fajitas with chicken, shrimp, and steak. The dish included only three shrimp, a few small pieces of chicken, and approximately three ounces of steak, all served over what appeared to be a large portion of frozen vegetables—mainly carrots, broccoli, and a single slice of bell pepper. To my knowledge, carrots and broccoli are not traditional components of fajitas, which made the presentation and flavor quite disappointing. Additionally, the chalupas were served cold, and the sauce that used to accompany the flautas has changed. What was once a distinctive pineapple jelly has been replaced with a thin, overly sweet chili sauce that resembles something more Polynesian in style. Overall, the meal lacked flavor and felt uninspired, especially considering the $27 price tag for what amounted to mostly frozen vegetables. We spent nearly $70 in total, hoping to enjoy a special dinner in celebration of our pregnancy announcement, but unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations. Regrettably, we will not be returning to El Milagro.

The most incredibly tasty veggie burrito I have had in a long time. The sauce was amazing. The vegetables and beans/rice were so fresh. The server was so kind. Comfy booth seating. Lots of outdoor patio seating. Everything is very clean. Nice atmosphere, feels very homey. Love this place!

We’ve eaten at El Milagro two times now, and both times the food was excellent. The first time I had three tacos, each with a different kind of meat. The second time I tried the nachos with carnitas (pictured). Each meal tasted very fresh and wasn’t greasy like nachos can be at times. We also had the guacamole appetizer to go along with the chips and salsa, as well as a couple of the house margaritas. The prices fall in the $15-$25 range depending on what you order. The service is excellent here as well. The waiters and waitresses are fast and very friendly, taking the time to check in and even chat with our children. There is parking both along the street and in their parking lot located to the north of the restaurant. They offer both interior and exterior seating which is covered. The exterior seating also runs along with the street which in turn offers a nice breeze. We will definitely be stopping here again the next time we pass through.

We had an early dinner after doing at tour at Russian River Rail bikes. There is plenty of parking, which is convenient. We were warmly welcomed. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside in the shade and it was really nice. It has a relaxed atmosphere and we were given chips and salsa. I ordered the Ensalada El Milagro and it was delicious! All of the ingredients were so fresh and complimented each other well! The staff working here were so friendly, kind, and attentive. I also love that three locals own this together so when you dine here you know you are supporting a locally owned restaurant. I've eaten at the Healdsburg location several times. This was the first time I've been to the Cloverdale location and we love both locations. Such amazing and flavorful food! Highly recommend!

We stopped at El Milagro for a late lunch on our way home from Anderson Valley. The restaurant was almost entirely empty, but it was an awkward time between lunch and dinner. We were seated in the large (dog-friendly) outdoor area near the entrance. I stuck with water, but my friends really liked the cocktails, including the Mango Margarita and Paloma. For food, I ordered the Enchiladas Special, which had chicken and salsa verde. This was just okay - the shredded chicken was pretty dry and served on the outside of the enchiladas, which I hadn't seen before. I also tried a bite of my friend's Carne Asada Quesadilla, which I liked more - still pretty standard though. The best item was the Guacamole with Esquites we ordered for the table - so fresh and tasty, and the corn kicked it up a notch. Service was friendly and fast!

The service wasn't friendly. The food was good, just good. Prices are really high. We weren't impressed. Restaurant didn't seem clean. Just okay.

Last time we tried this place was when they first opened. We walked in and was greeted by friendly staff and was seated right away. My husband and I both ordered burritos and came out pretty quick, and it was made how we liked it. The place was pretty mellow and neat. This is a hidden gem in our small town.

Tried the El Milagro in Healdsburg last weekend. Apparently they had only been open for four days! The new location was great, as was the service since they have moved several folks from the Coverdale spot down here to open the new restaurant. They don't have beer/wine/liquor yet, but the rest of the menu was in full effect. We tried the barbacoa tacos, the beef fajitas, and a special they described as being like Mexican lasagne. Walk the dishes were scored piping hot and super fresh! As with the original - the plates had delicious sauces - a trademark of the original. We finished with a slice of the lime cake - since they had sold out of the flan. The patio location was great, and we are looking forward to going back! Great to have another place in Healdsburg!

Ordered steak nachos and tortilla soup for takeout and everything was delicious. The nachos are loaded!! Definitely shareable. The tortilla soup is unique and full of veggies. El Milagro, you did it again!

This may be my favorite Mexican restaurant in the world. So so good. Birria tacos today on point. Their guisados are all amazing. And Old Caz Chismosa on tap - heaven!

Great food and friendly staff. Fish and shrimp tacos we're delicious. Nice spot with mountain views

Staff and food were fantastic! I ordered the chicken enchiladas and couldn't decide on which sauce I wanted, the server offered one of each. Chips were light and perfectly salted, and their salsa might be the best I've ever had. So unique, with so much flavor. Service was top notch!

I don't mess around. Just order the special. It never disappoints. Today was taquitos dorados. Two chicken one potato. So freaking good!

Sometimes I wish we could give bonus stars! We were drawn in by previous reviews and glad we stopped. The only disappointment was that not all previous specials were available. JK. We loved their chips and salsa - I really liked the mild spice and prefer that smoky tomato flavor. I had the Pollo La Crema - dang that was good!!! A fabulous sauce and perfect ratio of chicken, mushrooms, and pineapple. Yes, pineapple! Just perfect. The Hubbs had their nachos with beef and really liked the guacamole. Excellent service even though they were busy. It's a charming restaurant with a great patio. They have local brews and Vinos as well.

My sister and I have recently become locals to Cloverdale. We are both middle age, and have lived in Sonoma county our whole life. Both have worked in the food and hospitality business forever. With that said, Mexican food is our favorite, and happy to say we found our new favorite spot in Cloverdale! We'd even go as far to say, in Sonoma county! Totally worth the extra drive if your even as close as Windsor and visiting the river up here. Amazing food and great people!

We have been coming here since they opened a few years ago, the food is always 10/10, best Mexican food in Cloverdale! My family and I went here last for dinner and I had the best fish tacos I believe in my entire life. Fresh, full of flavor and their Michelada mix is always so good! The service is always good. They are a small batch of people working but always are on top of everything. This place was packed on a Friday night, we loved to see it!

Pozole I've had Pozole in many places in and around the Santa Rosa area. By far El Milagro is deserving of the 4 stars. Worth the jaunt to Cloverdale if you are a pozole fan. Otherwise the food was average. Service is good Ambience not so great

We were driving on a road trip from SF to Fort Bragg and back, and found this while looking for restaurants along the way. Attracted by the rather high Yelp rating and decent number of reviews, we decided to try it. We tried their shrimp cocktail, guacamole, camarones rancheros, seafood fajitas, and El Milagro fajita mix. You would think something with their restaurant name on it means they have pride in it, and boy did they deliver! Everything we had was fresh, tasty, and filling! It was a nice way to end our road trip haha. Wonderful food, wonderful staff, wonderful restaurant name! I hope anyone who passes by this lovely restaurant gives it a try, especially if they are in the mood for Mexican cuisine!

We stopped here for lunch on the way up north and we were very happy with our meal! The place is decorated quite cute and there's a nice outside patio area as well. The bathroom is kept well stocked and nicely decorated. My son had the Baja fish tacos. They were excellent. They are deep fried, but not greasy and they were fried to crispy perfection. I just ordered a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and guacamole to keep it simple and it was a very generous portion and hit the spot. Definitely recommend this restaurant while visiting or passing through Cloverdale !

Great food, ambiance, and service always with a friendly kind welcoming...love all that i have ever eaten there

First off, the place looks amazing. I used to go to this restaurant as a kid when it was the Owl Cafe. It's been about 20 yrs since I've been back and found that it was now a Mexican restaurant. We decided to go in and eat just for nostalgia purposes and boy am I glad we did. The street taco was amazing. The meat was tender and there was a nice amount of toppings with fresh lime slices. The special was a knock outta the park with caramelized onion, pickled onions, radishes and fresh made guacamole. The burrito bowl for me had a bland taste to it but my husband was digging it, so we swapped dishes The service was prompt and friendly and the music playing was not so loud that we needed to lean across the table to hear each other. Our server went over the gluten free substitutes for me and was patient as I made my decision. Oh! And the restroom was clean! We will go back when in the area for sure.

This spot is the best! Their food rocks and the service is always super friendly. Ordered the tacos Mazatlan and chile relleno and couldn't be happier or more full. Definitely worth making a stop at el Milagro for lunch or dinner if you are passing through town.

The food here is so authentic. The tortillas look homemade, using the different types of corn. The tacos are generously heaped with meat, and the flavors are delicious. This restaurant is located in a historic building, "The Owl Cafe". That was confusing to us and we almost passed it. They have a great outdoor dining area in a large patio setting, as well as plenty of indoor dining space. The servers here were friendly and worked quickly to get our order and food. This place certainly deserves its 5 star rating.

Been hearing a lot of good things about El Milagro and based on our recent dinner there, believe the hype! Cruised up 101 to a large parking lot next to the restaurant. Plenty of parking for busy nights. El Milagro has a very large and interesting menu, much more the the usual Mexican menu. Our server and the bar person were happy to give suggestions which were spot on. They serve cocktails with " reduced" alcohol content and my wife declared her Margarita a winner. We started with the Chunky Avocado dip full of fresh veggies, lime and chips. Tasty and excellent texture. For entrees DW had Shrimp Enchiladas, packed with shrimp, bell peppers, onions and came with their special sauce. Delicious!! I had Costillas de Puerco con Nopales, Pork ribs in a green tomatillo sauce with cactus. Recommended by our server and it was really good. This was under their Guisados section of the menu which are Mexican stews or braised dishes. Like I said earlier, lot of unique and tasty specialties. Both entrees came with rice and beans, nice flavor in both of them. El Milagro is a good sized restaurant and very clean. Service from the entire staff was excellent. Lots of interesting menu items to try. Will be back soon to start sampling them!

Our traditional restaurant in Cloverdale had been a disappointment so we stopped by El Milagro our last time driving through Cloverdale. What a nice surprise! The food and service were great. We accidentally ordered too much because the portions were so generous. The location has an updated taste of history with a new salsa flavor. El Milagro is our new go-to place when in town!

The scallop and shrimp salad was incredible. Perfectly cooked seafood, well beyond our expectations....and the shrimp tacos tasted fantastic! We are foodies and this was a pleasant find. We travel for food and the seasoning, cooking and texture of the seafood was equivalent to a 1 Star Michelin restaurant.

Great food, great service! Didn't feel greasy at all and the burrito was massive. Beautiful patio

Went there today with a friend and we both had burrito bowls, absolutely the best one we've ever had. Staff is very friendly and helpful and the premises are very clean will definitely be going back, and I live in Santa Rosa.

Food is solid and well priced. Flavors were spot on. Look at the specials. They are very good. Greeted with such enthusiasm.

This might've been the worst tacos I've ever had. The grilled chicken was just plain cubed chicken with no flavor thrown on a tortilla, and the steak tacos were overly salted, didn't taste fresh and incredibly greasy.

Great food, plenty of parking, great service and staff. Choice of seating inside or outside.

WOW! We are camping at the KOA up the hill. Met up with my sister and BIL here. Very good service! Very good food! My wife had the passilla beef, MAN was it tasty! I had the tropics shrimp and it was good!

Absolutely delicious food. Fast friendly service. It is worth a drive to enjoy a great meal at El Milagro.

The new Healdsburg location - overpriced, mediocre (at best) food quality, no liquor license (no margaritas). This place won't be around for long unless something drastically changes.

Holy guacamole! Excellent flavor and presentation! Stopped by traveling from Fort Bragg to the North Bay to get lunch, wonderful!! Thank you El Milagro!

Good food here! Probably the best iteration of this space in recent years. Back when it was the "Owl" it was dismal.

Good customer service. Food was brought out quickly but we were there when the restaurant wasn't very busy. Enjoyed the fresh tortilla chips and the delicious salsa. Food was good, but, lacked flavor & flair for my liking of Mexican Cuisine. Would it be my top recommendation for Mexican Cuisine? No. But it's a nice addition to the town of Cloverdale which doesn't have many food options.

Lunch date at El Milagro didn't disappoint. We arrived early (just before Noon) and there were plenty of seats available. The server greeted us immediately and we were invited to sit wherever we wanted. The server came over with chips and salsa. Oh boy, the salsa is fantastic! You know those places that serve a watery, tomato based salsa that lacks any flavor? This is not that salsa- the perfect amount of spice, salt, and not too watery and not too dry. We ordered pineapple water to drink with turns out was the perfect compliment to the salsa. We ordered Mexican meatballs and steak fajitas. Service was quick! I mean really quick. Fajitas were sizzling hot and served with veggies, beans and rice. The meatballs were super flavorful and very moist and moist. El Milagro provided everything a person would want when craving authentic Mexican food, service and hospitality. The only thing missing was the siesta I needed afterward.

My Baja Fish tacos were delicious , and service was attentive. My husband also enjoyed his chicken enchiladas. It was our first time trying El Milagro, I'm sure we will go again.

Really great food. I love the burrito Bowl. Yummy and great service. Lots parking and outside seating.

The shrimp and fish tacos are absolutely AMAZING Our family loves this place so very much. It's incredibly comfortable and an easy place to dine with children

Great service and nice outdoor eating on the close of a beautiful spring day. Food was delicious. We started with the usual chips and salsa, got the guacamole- umm good! The Chile Rellenos were so scrumptious. Nice fluffy, cheesy good chile-ness with loads of flavor! I tried the quisados taco with beef - kind of like stew, so much depth! Definitely worthy of a trip to try out. Lots of dishes you won't find at other places. It's unique and delicious.

I got my order to go, but the restaurant looked clean and nice. I was welcomed by smiling faces, check out was easy. The flavor is out of this world. It's been a minute since I was able to get a super burrito all fresh with fluffy rice. Melt in your mouth. Carnitas, melted chewy cheese, and the freshest, tomato, jalapeños, and lettuce. Home cooking flavor. The fire roasted salsa is absolutely awesome and they still serve chips with the super burrito. no one else really does that anymore. So for me, it even has a Sonoma county nostalgia of the full experience. Try it twice you won't regret it.

Patio seating, table service during September 2020 while Covid protocols are happening. Saturday lunch. Real hit and miss experience. Cheerful employees. Unfortunately they are clueless. Walk right past me when I raised my hand to ask for a glass of water. Took them 20 minutes to take the meal order. Barbara S. Got a green salad topped with roasted shrimp. She liked it. Adequate quality and quantity. My carnitas were dried out, tasted like it was cooked 3 days ago. Inedible. The guacamole was fresh and tasty. The pico de gallo was also good. Beans were milky white and smooth. Saffron rice was dried out. Asked for flour tortillas, gave me corn. They were the worst cardboard, flavorless tortillas. Better tortillas are available at the Dollar Tree store. Ive had waaaayyyyyy better carnitas at almost any other Mexican family owned restaurant from Boston to San Cristobal de las Casas. Oh, never got my requested glass of water. The Mexican Bodega across the street makes food to go. Ive eaten their chow a dozen times. Everything is delicious. Go there instead, Eat in your car if you must.

We stopped by yesterday for an early dinner after a long and stressful day, and this restaurant almost couldn't have hit the spot any better! I had two very delicious strawberry margaritas, and I don't know if it was the empty stomach I had when I started drinking or the fact that I don't drink very often or if they just have a generous pour, but I was LIT when we left (I did not drive!) Chips & salsa were good, salsa wasn't spicy at all but tasted really nice and fresh. My friend and I also shared one of the tacos from the 'abuelita' menu called guisados-we had the green molé pipian and it was fantastic! For dinner I had the carnitas plate and was only disappointed that the carnitas itself was a little over cooked and dried out. The rest of the plate looked fantastic and tasted good, but after the margaritas and the appetizer and chips I was too full to take more than a couple of bites. My friend had the enchiladas and she ate every bite! A terrific spot in Cloverdale and I wish them good luck!

I just ate at their new Healdsburg location. Comfortable decor; great food; good service. Highly recommend. There's even parking on site!

We were coming from our camping trip from Humbolt State Park and we got hungry on our way home, so i yelped some good Mexican restaurants and this place caught my attention. The name sounds so catchy and intriguing. As we arrived at the premises, it has a plaque by the sidewalk indicating that it was an old Wells Fargo Bank and historical. We dined outside since we have our dog, although it was kinda cold, but it was nice. They have a nice list of wine and beer. They were having beef stew as the special of the day, so my daughter and I had that. Hubby got ribs with green chili sauce and nopales, which was good. My daughter and I enjoyed our beef stew and the serving was a little bit more than we could manage, so we took them home for dinner. We enjoyed the food, ambiance as well as the service. If we're happen to be in Cloverdale again, we'll definitely stop by this place.

So good! Such great food every time!! Worth a drive from Windsor. Can't wait to go back!

I've tried this place a handful of times honestly not authentic Mexican food it's American food it's bland just not good! I wanted spicy flavorful food but never got it Now if you are looking for a American restaurant this is for you just not Mexicans crazy for a Mexican restaurant to not have good food

Food was delicious and service efficient and polite. Wonderful place for lunch! Great location and atmosphere.

So yummy! Had the steak super burrito and it was fiirrreeee. Everybody else loved their food too!

We stopped in as a drive by, Great food, rich in flavor and authentic. huge portions, friendly staff!. Very happy we stopped
