Taco Milagro

This last weekend I went down to Houston for a bachelorette party in Galveston.  My sister is living there before starting graduate school next month in Lubbock.  Also, my friend from college lives there for the next couple more months before she gets married in October. They agreed to meet me for lunch at Taco Milagro.

Taco Milagro is a restaurant in the book 1000 Places to See Before You Die US and Canada, by Patricia Schultz. I decided the more people who eat with me, the more food I can sample.  The restaurant was created by the same people who created Café Annie in Houston.

Kacy, my sister, got to the restaurant early with me. As we were waiting in line, she suggested a margarita and chips while we waited on Mandell, my friend. Kacy ordered the Mango Margarita while I ordered the Strawberry Margarita. Both were frozen, strong and delicious.

We immediately got to work on sampling the salsas. This restaurant offers 8 different kinds of salsa and I wanted to try all of them.  The Mango Salsa tasted all right, Kacy compared it to Sweet and Sour sauce.  The Chipotle salsa had a smoky flavor to it. Kacy and I really enjoyed the Mild Milagros salsa and the green salsa.

Strawberry and Mango Margaritas with Chips and Salsa- YUM!

Sangria

When my friend arrived, we ordered food. Everyone ordered something different so we could taste the max amount of food.  Mandell ordered the breaded fish tacos with a Sangria.  The Sangria tasted good, but looked a little cloudy. Kacy ordered the chicken nachos and I ordered the Milagro Chicken Burrito, which was huge.

Chicken Nachos, these were awesome

After sampling everyone’s food we all decided that the chicken nachos were the best. They had fresh jalapenos and guacamole, which my sister and I love.  If we had to only survive on one food for the rest of our lives it would be guacamole hands down.  Mandell’s fish tacos were all right- she suggests getting the grilled fish instead of the breaded fish.  My burrito could have easily fed two people. Half  way through trying to eat it, I opened it up and started eating the insides with a fork.

Overall, we enjoyed our experience at Taco Milagro. It was a pleasant environment with good drinks, a wide salsa selection and food that fresh and quick.  If you want to visit the restaurant, I suggest waiting for a perfect spring or fall day and sitting outside on the patio.

Next week, I will be visiting a museum that is right in my backyard: The Modern Museum in Fort Worth.  What suggestions do you have for visiting this museum?
