Many years ago, I drank many margaritas at Juanita’s. So when noted restaurateur Frank Bonanno returned this corner space on 17th Avenue to its Mexican roots, transforming the old Rhino Room into Milagro Taco Bar, it seemed like my formative years had been miraculously resurrected. And what I found at Milagro was almost as good as the fountain of youth: more than three dozen tequilas, served in a room that mixes a little Cherry Creek North and a little LoDo into a great neighborhood bar with an upscale feel. The best use I’ve found — so far — for the tequila selection is the Coin Style Milagro Margarita ($6), made with Milagro Silver, fresh lime juice and triple sec. Milagro Tequila comes with a fabulous yet highly questionable story: Legend (aka PR spin) has it that it’s made according to an ancient recipe found buried in the agave fields. A few of these margs are enough to raise anyone — or anything — from the grave.
