" I had a mixed experience at El Milagro. The mole was rich but not to my liking, a bit too watery. I love that they offer a taste of home with Oaxacan cuisine. The atmosphere is cozy, but the service didn't meet my expectations. Overall, it's a decent option but lacks the spark. " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience. I was looking for authentic Oaxacan cuisine but found the food wasn't quite right. The Tlayudas were lackluster and didn't have any of the expected flavors. It was a busy night, and the service felt rushed, adding to the disappointment. Maybe I had higher expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" The service during our visit was excellent, but the food was a bit disappointing. I expected a lot from the tlayuda, but it was barely average. I think I caught them on an off day, but there are too many other great places to justify going back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't believe the backlash some reviewers have against El Milagro! Yes, the space is small, and it can get a bit cramped, but that's all part of its charm. The food transports you right to Oaxaca. I highly recommend the agua fresca—it’s divine! But be aware, it does get busy, so plan accordingly. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very lackluster experience. The food did not reflect what I was hoping for. The enchiladas were dry and hastily made. It wasn’t worth the cost, and I felt cheated. I'm not sure I'll be going back, sadly. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying the Oaxacan enchiladas, and I was overwhelmed by the flavor! It's hard to find such authentic tastes outside of Mexico. The staff was friendly and eager to help us translate the menu. The only downside was the wait time—definitely worth it, though! I can't wait to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" So happy to have discovered this gem! The atmosphere brought me back to my travels in Oaxaca. Highly recommend trying the horchata and memelutas; both were fantastic! Can’t say enough about how lively the vibe is here. " (*Curated Review*)
