We started off with an antipasto plate and cocktails at Serritella's. it took forever to get the antipasto plate. it was delicious but we were done with our cocktails and ready to move on. we asked for the check and then we were reminded that we still had the dish coming. i should have canceled at that time. but instead... we waited and waited... finally it arrived. then off to Mesa Mercado! two more cocktails and small plates. we had: Esquité: fresh and delicious! i could eat that all day long!!! My Guacamole: the Jalapeños were very mild but it was fresh and delicious! Ceviche de Pescado: A huge portion and absolutely delicious! the restaurant is fun and festive. the server was kind, and the service was quick! truly enjoyed our experience. then off to GB Gelato for dessert! Blueberry Mascarpone Gelato!!! Amazing!!!

Don't get me wrong, appreciate the concept of having multiple eateries in one location because it makes it a great place to meet friends for a lovely dining experience. Depending on which restaurant you select, some of the seating seems to bleed into the seating of other restaurants, hence the food court feeling that it has. I've been here numerous times, and I've watched a few restaurants come and go, and the general concept hasn't changed much, which in an odd way, is a good thing. However, I think conceptually, while the intent is there, the design overall should be adjusted, so that the upscale dining experience, which seems to be the intent would be just that. For example, the restrooms are difficult to find, and you'll find yourself walking from one end to the other, trying to locate them. Another example, is that I've had the experience where there's table service for one restaurant, and not for another. Consistency would be great. They have a private parking lot with complementary parking, which is great, and they do have a couple of private areas so that if you have an interest in hosting a private event, this would be a fun spot during a great weather evening for a fun party. The restaurants are varied, and it does make it easier when there's indecision about food choices, and most of the restaurants offer a nice variety of menu items. You pretty much will be able to find something for everyone, from vegetarian offerings, all the way to some pretty tasty meat offerings. It's definitely worth checking out.

After spending hundreds weekly each summer patronizing both GB Gelato (highly recommend, btw) and their own restaurants, we were rudely told we are not allowed to bring outside food and we need to vacate the premises. Sorry, but we don 't have the luxury of waiting an hour to get food from the restaurants in the Centre. I don 't know if they have clients that come more regularly than our group. It 's not like we hang out there without spending any money. A little less policing and a little more allowing people to enjoy themselves would go a long way towards securing return customers. Coming from communism, it 's really disappointing to see that behavior in a business in the USA

Chilangolandia is now permanently closed. Milagro is also used as an event center. We were here for a pop up event which brought me here for the first time. I don 't often come to this side of town. I accompanied my daughter who participated as a vendor. I really like the concept here at the Centre... Milagro has a large outdoor common area located in the middle and is covered with a semi transparent roof. This allows light in but keeps harmful sun rays or rain showers out. The restaurants are to the left or right or around the perimeter of the food court. Towards the back of the community outdoor area is a large stone fireplace that has a fountain on each side. Very pretty. The parking lot is huge. There are palm trees running down the middle of the property. Lots of parking which is a big deal for me. The pop up event occupied parts of the parking lot and also the covered outdoor food court community area. Very nice place to congregate and meet up with friends. Milagro translates to Miracle in Spanish and in Tagalog too (Philippines)... the Philippines was once conquered by Spaniards so we picked up some Spanish words ¯ (ツ) ¯ Review #2607

When we walked by the first time I thought they were closed cuz when she made eye contact (by, what I can only assume, accident) she quickly looked back down continued scrolling. I eventually asked if they were open and ordered some drinks and sandwiches. For a total of $48, you'd think the customer service would be better.
