    Enchiladas, contact info, and cooking instructions, etc.
    Dan T.

    We did our rounds hitting Iowa's Largest Arts and Crafts Show on a Friday evening at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, and the 13th annual Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival on a Saturday before all this Covid-19 mess started... There were a lot of food related highlights to that weekend, but one of the standouts was a vendor at the Arts and Crafts show who I don't recall seeing there before. Erick's Enchiladas. The owner was manning his booth and offering samples. A very personable guy who was pitching his enchiladas, flour chips, salsa etc. to the people passing by. His permanent spot is in Omaha but he did this show in Des Moines and said he's planning on being at the November show too. If you happen to be from Iowa and going to the Des Moines Arts and Crafts shows after this mess clears up... You might want to find him there and take home some of his food. The enchiladas are legit and the verde salsa has a nice little burn to it. The green is definitely my favorite. Everything is individually wrapped and frozen to carry home. I want to say I paid $15 for six big enchiladas. The meat inside is precooked and he provides instructions on how to "cook" them at home. It's good stuff.

    Amazing enchiladas! The beef ones are my favorite. A+++++ Would like to order personally from you if Wenninghoffs is out

    Really wanted to love this but I just don't. Super doughey somehow and bland. Tastes like play-dough surprisingly. Bought 6 threw 5.5 away. The red salsa is nice though.

    Prices at farmer's market, not sure if it's cheaper/more expensive than it would be at their actual location.

    Freakin' love their salsa verde. Bought 15oz of it today at the Aksarben farmer's market for $5. They always have samples of their beef enchilada at the farmer's market and I got one before for $3, slathering on that salsa. Little pricey for an enchilada, but it's yummy. Haven't been to their actual store yet, although I did pass by it once when I was heading to Olsen Bake Shop. Asked about their hours at the store, and Erick said M-F 11AM-5PM, and they have farmer's market on Saturday and Sunday, and are sometimes at the store after the farmer's market (give them a call to check). Google says they're open on Saturday from 11-5 as well and closed Sunday. Probably their regular hours when there's no farmer's market.

    Wonderful green salsa!!

    Making your own enchiladas is messy and hard. And unless you're some kind of enchilada master, you aren't going to come close to making the amazing enchiladas you can get here. I love their chips and salsa so much that my wife gets jealous. Catch them at the Aksarben Farmer's market, but get there early before they run out of chips!

    Some of the best enchiladas around. I've had them for over 15 years and they never disappoint.

    Good food. Red salsa is yummy! We tried all four flavors of enchiladas. Buy a bunch so you can freeze them for a quick weeknight meal.

    The enchiladas were delicious and a good size. The tamales were kind of small, but still delicious.

    They make the best salsa verde and pico de gallo around and I've had both in CA, CO, NM, you name it.

It's super cute inside, with so many bright colors, neat Día de los Muertos murals along the walls, colorful pendants strung on top of the dining area, and a very cool bar with a patterned, arched shelves. Even the dishes and cups are fabulous, with earthenware mugs, blue Talavera style dishes and bowls, and even branded El Milagro margarita glasses. Now more importantly, the FOOD is just as good as the decor and the dishware. They use extra high quality ingredients, and everything is always served hot and fresh. We have had the birria, nachos, street tacos, flautas, and so many other things when we branch out and try something new. Their drink options are also great, with strong margaritas, crisp cervesas, and tasty cocktails. The service is always fantastic, and they are always hopping with customers, so you know you found a good spot. Best of all, you get pretty large portions, and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg like some of the newer Mexican restaurants in town. Next time you're thinking about heading to the Texas Roadhouse area, skip the Roadhouse and try El Milagro instead! I guarantee you will not regret your decision.

When we walked in it seemed like our server was the only one there working - drinks took a while to arrive and didn't come as pictured on the passport but were still good. I got the Barria taco meal and never received my rice that went along with it, ended up being fine I was full but could have taken for leftovers. Plenty of tables and cute decor. Overall, the food was the star of the show and our waiter got the job done with our large party it was just slower service than I was hoping for an early off peak meal. Worth it to come in expecting slow service to get a good meal imo!

Not only is the food incredible, but the staff are the absolute best and the ambiance is very welcoming and comfortable. We started with some chips and dips, and the queso was delicious. It was the perfect amount of spice but still creamy and cheesy. The salsas were also very flavorful and a great start to our meal. I chose to get the carne asada for dinner and it was absolutely AMAZING. The steak was so juicy and tender, and seasoned to perfection. I was so impressed, and it was perfectly paired with some tortillas de maiz, the guacamole, and rice and beans. I would absolutely get this meal again. Not only was the food delicious, but the staff were incredibly sweet, helpful, and provided great recommendations. I will absolutely be returning here again!

The service was fantastic, and it felt like a true family restaurant. The chips were so good, and the salsa was spicy but not too much for people with sensitive palates. I love this style of chips, not a thin restaurant style but a thicker, more savory bite. We went through one portion before our food got to us and they brought more out when I asked. I highly recommend the tacos. I made a mistake and asked for birria not quesabirria tacos, so make sure to specify that if you want quesabirria (with cheese). But, the birria was good anyways! I also got the taco macho (see the pic for what's inside), and wish I would've ordered 2 of those! My husband got the huitlacoche and squash blossom tacos and they were both so good. I was so impressed they had huitlacoche as an option, I've never seen that before! The drinks were ordered and delivered from the server, but she said since they're working on a liquor license they have a bar next door that makes them. If you order a drink with your food, they charge for the drinks and food separate for that reason. I liked my jalapeño margarita! My husband got a cantarito and said it's the best one he's had from all the places we've tried to far!

The streetcar boondoggle is not affecting their block so parking is available. Decor is calming. I did not opt for an adult beverage as they were a bit pricey and I needed to retain focus. Settled on chicken enchiladas. Very tasty with some kick. The cheese was drizzled on top rather than baked through. Service was exceptionally friendly, I suspect from the bartender/proprietor. Would definitely return if in the area, but for now I am generally avoiding streetcar construction chaos. If you are downtown anyway, go.
