Early in 2012, Milagros Mexican Food was honored by Utah Valley Diners as being the “Best” in Utah Valley for seven categories. Perhaps it’s because Dave Tuomisto, operator, takes a personal interest in giving his friends and customers the very best in Mexican cuisine. “I’m always in the kitchen, telling my guys to add more to this or less of that,” Dave says.
“Because of all the TV shows about cooking and food, everyone is a food critic these days, ” Dave says. “They can tell the difference between something processed and something cooked fresh.” It seems more knowledgeable customers are typically harder to please…which means restaurants have to bring more to the table than every before.
It certainly seems Milagros Mexican restaurant succeeded. Just look at the honors they received from voters in the Utah Valley Magazine “Best Of” contest.
Thank you to all who recently recognized Milagros in Utah Valley Magazine’s “Best of” 2011 and The Daily Herald’s “Best of Utah Valley”. Your support helps our business grow and improve. We just finalized a Chile Relleno Fundido Style that was served for Cinco de Mayo as a special, it was very well recieved. I heard several customers comment it was “the best Relleno they have ever had”. With a tempura batter smothered over a FRESH Poblano Chile, this Relleno has a crispy shell with a FRESH chile with some “snap” to it. It is not very spicy, Poblano Chiles are about a 3 on a 1 to 10 scale ( I would put a Jalapeno Chile at about a 7).
I have always loved the idea of Chile Rellenos, but have always been disappointed with the weak canned chili, soggy and coated with an egg/flour batter with no flavor and a mushy texture. Normally most Rellenos taste re-heated and even sometimes microwaved, they are difficult to prepare- but I don’t think that is a good excuse.
Our Relleno tackles all those common everyday Rellenos served all over the place. We need a couple weeks before our new menu comes out (the Relleno will be a welcomed full-time addition), until then we will serve our new Relleno on a limited bases, we are searching for a consistent annual supply of Poblanos before we commit this amazing dish to our menu. It will be worth the wait! I promise Dave
