    When you visit Stonington Boro, you're most likely assuming this quaint, quiet New England village…read morewould be known for traditional seaside fare: crab cakes and lobster rolls, with corn on the cob and a bit of coleslaw for sides. You'd be right, there are restaurants here serving such standard cuisine, but what makes a trip to the Boro special is a trip to Milagro Cafe, serving the best Mexican food and drink in Southeastern Connecticut. Having eaten in dozens of Mexican restaurants from Texas to NYC over the years, my wife Pat and I were thrilled to find Milagro: sure, it has traditional burritos and tacos dishes, but the chef's take combining Mexican fare with an American twist is special. Last night I had braised beef enchiladas, while Pat chose roasted pork with tomatillo and cactus sauce-- both incredible. And the drinks! Milagro Cafe has a truly amazing bartender in Rebecca who, given her talents with margaritas, would be a renowned mixologist if she were in Manhattan ( although she'd never let anyone call her that.) She creates an amazing array of original margaritas, whether her classic Patron ( my go-to) or one of her seasonal creations ( Pat loved Rebecca's mixed berry margarita, a summer selection)...better than any we've ever had, anywhere. When you add in a warm, professional and attentive staff led by Theresa, who provides service, a smile and smarts with everyone who enters the cafe, you have in Milagro Cafe one of the best reasons to visit the Boro. Stonington's still.got its rustic charms, but in Milagro Cafe it's got spice too!

I don't normally send drinks back, but the margarita I ordered just wasn't going down well. When I mentioned that I'd like to have what my date was having, I was told they would take it away but leave it on the tab. I explained, as a former food server, I have never made a guest pay for something they were unhappy with, especially something they were not going to consume. Instead of the waiter resolving this himself, he fetches the bartender, who argues the drink was made how it was supposed to be and "we don't do sampling here." After I explained to him that, being currently unemployed, I don't feel good being made to pay for something that I was not going to consume in a restaurant, he apologized, made a different drink and fetched me my check that I asked for. Amigos, you should know this is appalling service. I won't be back and hopefully others will gain some perspective on this experience and judge accordingly.

Their fresh chips were cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. Mexican pizza with chorizo and jalapeños - it was good but I couldn't get my brother to try it. His wife didn't care much for it. This was a better choice than the carne asada tacos I ordered for the meal and was substantially more food. Carne asada tacos - I really wished these were better, but the asada was lacking much needed flavor. On top of it being disappointingly bland, it was also extremely dry with the 2 tortillas per taco. My brother had some delicious sauce with his burrito that spruced up the dryness and flavor. I would not recommend this. The margaritas - my bro had the mango margarita - it was very sweet. His wife and I both had a taramind marg and it was pretty good. She also tried the cinnamon marg but it was way too sweet - as I anticipated - and we left it mostly untouched. The cool thing about their margs is that they serve it in individualized shakers to fill up the glass when it gets low.

First time was during Covid and they had a window they were doing takeout…read moreorders from and had a few picnic tables to eat at and to go margs you could have while waiting for your food. Biggest drawback here is they don't take reservations. Saturday night at 5 the wait was 1.5 hours. I knew that going here so we went across the street to cotton hollow kitchen for a drink and they call when your table is ready. They called after an hour and we walked back over. They sat us at a table outside under a tent. It was very hot and not sure what they do with the crowd when they have storms coming as it's a metal tent. Skies looked quite menacing but storm passed us thankfully. I have a bunch of dietary restrictions. Mostly allium so onions. Garlic. Also cabbage. Gluten free. They told me essentially everything on the menu has onion and garlic so it was extremely tough ordering. I was very excited to order the guacamole and they cannot make any substitutions as they make this in big batches so we couldn't get this. I found that a bit strange. Most Mexican restaurants make guacamole fresh to order. Our waitress was kind though and told me the enchilada duo could be made without the rice and beans as they have onions mixed in. Chef gave me fingerling potatoes instead. Dish comes with one chicken and one beef enchilada. Flavor was ok. Quite salty. Didn't love it. What did stand out was the Caesar salad. The dressing did have onions in it but my bf really wanted it so I had some. Flavor incredible. Forgot to take a picture of. He also had the tacos which looked good. He said the salmon was better than the carne asada tacos. I've had the tacos before when my restrictions weren't as bad. Wasn't overly impressed but wanted to give this place another shot. Tacos are quite large and should be as they are $8 each. For a beverage I had a spicy margarita with mango. It was ok. Is this place worth waiting an hour + for? I don't think so? It's not bad but I've been to places just as good that don't have quite the wait and can substitute a bit more and flavor is just as good if not better. I had a tough time finding things I could eat.

Chips were very crispy. The chimichanga was stuffed with chicken, rice, bean and smothered over some Cajun queso. The food was solid, but nowhere near mind blowing according to the achievement and recognition on the wall. It also is way higher then other spots and for there price I would expect a lot more flavor and even complimentary chips. Staff and service was fair. Overall the food was fair and given the area there aren't many other Mexican restaurants to provide competition, won't be my first choice to eat within this area but I wouldn't be mad either.
