I Love this place! My favorite is the Green Enchiladas with scrambled eggs. The green sauce is so good I wish I could lick sauce off of the plate!
This is a cafe that only serves until 3 pm, so you have to get there early.
They serve sandwiches, burgers , coffee, hot cocoa and other yummy brunch foods.

El Milagro is a Cafeteria Style Restaurant. There are hot dishes, tacos, tamales , burritos and other yummy food. Gets very crowded at lunchtime, so call in your order and then pick up your order. That is how I get my food without having to wait long at a busy time.

Icecream
What can I say!?!!!
If you love ice cream, you must try Authentic Mexican Ice cream!
The ice cream is made fresh daily. You can also choose to eat ice cream made from fruit, so it is de Agua. There are fresh waters to drink made from Alfalfa (my favorite), Lemon water, Jamaica etc,.
They also serve other traditional Mexican treats.
Ask for samples, there are so many choices!
