Description

A step beyond the city's usual Mexican restaurants, Milagro offers thoughtful presentations of traditional and contemporary Mexican fare. You can enjoy roast chicken smothered in a complex mole poblano, mahi mahi in a bright mole verde or salmon simply dressed in a salsa of mango, cilantro and annatto oil. Huitlacoche, a corn-blighting fungus that is also a Mexican delicacy, makes a rare appearance in the fantastic quesadillas tradicionales. Another standout is a tostada appetizer featuring pulled duck meat in a blood orange-habanero sauce. Oh, and the top-shelf margarita is topnotch.

2011 | Best Mexican Restaurant

Simply put, there is nothing else quite like Milagro in St. Louis, no bar of contemporary and traditional Mexican fare against which the restaurant can measure itself. Fortunately, brothers Adam and Jason Tilford aren't content to coast on popular and critical success. Jason continues to refine the menu --... More »
2010 | Best Mexican Restaurant

At first glance you might not recognize just how different the menu at Milagro Modern Mexican is from St. Louis' many Mexican restaurants. The dishes are familiar: tostadas, enchiladas, quesadillas. Blame the complimentary chips and salsa for luring you into a false sense of security. Look more closely. The tostadas are topped with duck and a tart, searingly spicy blood-orange-habanero salsa, while the enchiladas feature seafood, duck and tomatillos rather than chicken and "red" sauce. The...
