Good food, plastic atmosphere. Worth a return visit. It may not look like much --one step up from a fast food joint-- but Cilantro serves really good food. You order at a stand-up counter, slide into the bench at a fast-food-style table, and the staff brings your food. The food is remarkably tasty, so much so that you can ignore the sharp salt flavor of several items (the chips, the avocado salsa, and the soup). The chicken tortilla soup was creamy and rich with a tangy bit of spice and a generous amount of chicken. The habanero-mango burrito was light on the habanero but strong on the mango; a lot of rice. Very tasty and filling. The avocado salsa was excellent, with a subtle flavor of scallion (that said, the first taste to hit was the salt). The "spicy" salsa was not /too/ spicy and had an warm, smoky taste. Prices have gone up all over the place, so it wasn't so surprising that (what amounted to) soup and a sandwich totaled more than $22. Sigh. Service was friendly and helpful.
Stopped in for a quiet bite to eat on our way back from an event and it was very good. They don’t cut you short on guacamole for sure. Presentation looked great, food was good and atmosphere was hip and trendy. Check it out!
I only ever order Cilantro through Uber Eats but they have consistently impressed me over the past few years! Food comes hot and exactly how I ordered it; they’re especially good about my (ironic) cilantro allergy.
I've been meaning to try this place for over a year and was not disappointed! The customer service was impeccable, the restaurant was clean and had a lovely ambience, and the bathrooms were well maintained. The prices were competitive. The restaurant was quiet as we arrived an hour before closing (9pm). Our server Neylani was extremely personable, kind, patient & professional. At her recommendation I chose the two taco combination plate with mango habenera chicken black beans, rice & spicy cole slaw. The mango habenero was mildly spicy and delicious! Hub ordered a cheese quesadilla with rice & beans & a beer (Two Roads IPA) and the kids & grandkids each had two ground beef tacos. We had free refill sodas and free nacho chips with red & green sauce, which were fresh and crispy. The portions were slightly smaller than I anticipated, however I did not leave hungry at all. The food was filling, fresh & delicious. Unfortunately I did not get the chef's name but he was smiling and graciously waved at all the kids before we left. I will definitely be returning! I would like to try the Carne Asada which Neylani also highly recommended; she said they run out very early so maybe I'll make it a brunch lol. Really a great place all around, I absolutely recommend giving them a go!
Delicious. Was really good and very filling I really like the ground beef taco, muy flavorful! As well as the chicken taco and the spicy coleslaw and all the salsas. Ariba!!
I was helping my friend's pizza restaurant this area and found this place for take out Lunch. I like their atmosphere, feels like I'm in Mexico... I had burrito. Very juicy and well marinated.
