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.

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.

SUCH nice people! And loved sitting outside because it was such a perfect evening. Their salsa is so much better than "usual" salsa at Mexican restaurants. And being someone who does not eat meat, I appreciate that they have a few vegetarian options that could be made vegan. Just driving through town, but will definitely stop here again when I drive through in the future!

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.

I tried the chicken mole enchiladas on the special sign. They were fabulous. Extra yummy. The homemade salsa with the chips was also very good. Nice place. Good service. I'll go back again whenever I drive that way.

We stopped here on the way back from Fort Bragg.We needed a place to eat lunch and we were greeted with the best service and friendly smiles. The chips and salsa were amazing. Their salsa is the best I have ever tried and the chips are homemade. The atmosphere was relaxing and spacious. We can't recommend El Milageo enough. The next time we are in Cloverdale we inte d to eat there!

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!
