If you live in West Dallas, you likely know Milagro Tacos Cantina is a go-to for great tacos. We particularly love the La Costra, where grilled cheese swaddles a tender piece of salmon. It’s one of our favorite tacos in Dallas. The restaurant recently underwent an upgrade, transforming from a quick counter-service spot into a bright, full-service restaurant with a bar.
Chef and owner Jesus Carmona imparts his classic French culinary training to Tijuana street tacos. Carmona first opened Tacos Mariachi in West Dallas in 2015 and was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives in 2018. Carmona parlayed that success into a second location on Lower Greenville. Then the pandemic hit, and he closed the Greenville location. In 2021, he relocated the west Dallas restaurant a bit down the road (across from Trinity Groves) and renamed it Milagro Tacos Cantina.
In the meantime, Carmona has dabbled in other projects, including Pesca in Trinity Groves, which is also one of our Top 50 Dallas restaurants. He is also a mainstay at the State Fair of Texas, where every fall he pushes gallons of mole-drenched fries.
Present day, he just finished a refresh of Milagro. It’s a bit more upscale with table service, lots of bright paint and a bigger bar…
