Healdsburg’s El Milagro has relocated to 241 Healdsburg Ave., just steps from its former Matheson Street restaurant.

The new space, previously home to multiple tasting rooms, has been transformed into a warmly appointed cafe, with expanded seating and a larger kitchen for chef-owners Alan Valverde, Julio Velazquez and Marco Zamora.

While Healdsburg has no shortage of Mexican restaurants — ranging from polished cafes to casual taquerias — El Milagro stands out with its soulful, regionally inspired dishes. For fans further north, their original location in Cloverdale remains at 485 S. Cloverdale Blvd.
