El Milagro Tortillas

Time Out describes a sunny Pilsen cafe painted bright purple, yellow and orange inside and out, sitting next door to one of the city's most successful makers of corn and flour tortillas. Employees put those tortillas to work on chicken legs in mole rojo and slow-cooked beef in a rich tomato sauce. Order the tamales, which Time Out calls satisfying and recommends as the portable option, though the room is the part you cannot take with you.
