Milagros

Milagros 

Miracles...is what the name means! And, there was a small series of miracles to get one Mexican man living in Munich, Germany to this pretty new very legit Mexican restaurant in the heart of Munich, owned by a Californian. The recipes where developed in a cooking escuela in the Yucatan region of Mexico. So, here's the connection and series of miracles: 

Nancy, my sister, emailed me one day that she had met a woman named Pamela at a Stella & Dot jewelry party in Atlanta. Pamela was in ATL visiting her family for a while. They had mutual friends who knew Nancy had a sister (me) who would be in Munich for the Summer, and that Pamela was moving to Munich at the end of the summer with her husband (who works for BMW) to live for three years. Nancy "suggested friendship" via Facebook. Pamela and I exchanged a few messages and made a date to meet up on their first night in town. I looked at Pamela's pictures on Facebook and saw one with big margarita glasses and took a closer look. The caption on the picture mentioned this restaurant and I checked it out, then told Scott he MUST tell Daniel Tellechea, a native of Mexico City and his coworker/our friend. Scott did, and Daniel went on Thursday night for dinner check it out, and then went again the next day for our planned lunch on Friday.

It was muy sabroso and Daniel was un mexicano muy feliz!

A few more of Scott's KPMG coworkers joined in to try it out. 

Here's the link....very friendly service and gorgeous tile decor also!

From the left side, Colin, me, newly hired Laura, and Timo. On the right, Scott with Daniel next to him, then Peter and Andi on the end. Watermelon and Lime-Mint Aqua Frescas all around...delish!

Fresh made tortilla chips, guacamole, pico de gallo, chipotle sauce, and something new for us all--a ground pumpkin seed type paste/sauce they added for us to try. I could have used some jalepeno in the pico or guac, but I'm sure they don't want to scare anyone away with the heat. They also brough their two house-made moles to let us taste. Very good...will go back for some more mole!

From the left to right, Andreas (Andi), Peter, and Daniel, with the fiesta platter in the middle of the table for us all to sample and share. It was really tasty, very authentic.  

Amigos Daniel and Scott 

It was very tasty and something my palette hasn't had since leaving the states...but I still crave Chuy's (Tex-Mex)! We may have to make a pit stop into Chuy's on the way home from the airport as soon as we're back in Birmingham, Sweet Home Alabama!
