We actually have tried to go here before. The day we ended up going to Taqueria Los Comales instead - after we found Taqueria Los Barrilitos was closed for construction, we ended up trying to go to Taqueria El Milagro, only to discover it closed exactly one minute before we got there (7pm people).
Anyway, we were able to get inside today because we showed up at 6. Fun fact, I didn't know, but should have known, when I was there: this is one of the official restaurants of El Milagro tortillas. Which, if you're not from Chicago, they sell them in most supermarkets on the cheap. Great, fresh, corn tortillas.
Okay, to the tacos:
Okay, these tacos are huge - and I ordered 2. They were legit bigger than my hand (see photo for reference).
Other than the size, they tasted quite good. We asked for cheese on the side and got some, because the taco itself was just a slab of beef with some cabbage on top. I... personally wasn't huge on the cabbage. You all know I'm an onions and cilantro kind of gal.
Some people rave about these tacos but I thought they were..... fine. Really. You can't go wrong if you're here. But, I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way.
On the plus, they were hella fast.
