" Had a lovely dinner at Cielo Rojo last weekend. The décor is inviting, crafted to reflect an authentic Mexican environment. The food was pleasing to my palate, especially the fish tacos which were perfectly crispy. However, a couple of companions mentioned that their portions felt slightly underwhelming compared to their expectations. Nonetheless, our server was attentive and friendly, boosting the overall dining experience. I wouldn't hesitate to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! The ambiance at Cielo Rojo is chic and trendy, and I definitely felt the Mexican vibe throughout my visit. My partner and I celebrated our anniversary here with the two of us trying out an array of dishes. Everything from the molé enchiladas to the unique drinks blew us away! The servers were engaging, though we did feel a little rushed with the dining experience. Still, I must applaud the efforts of all staff for making our evening special! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Cielo Rojo for brunch, and it exceeded my expectations. The heirloom waffle was a delightful surprise, and I loved the vegan options available. The outdoor seating was perfect for a sunny day; I felt right at home. However, I will say that parked was a bit of a challenge, so planning ahead is key. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and I'm looking forward to returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time at Cielo Rojo, and I was charmed from the moment I walked in! The menu had a variety of fabulous options, and I was excited to try their mole enchiladas. I was left wanting a bit more in terms of spice, but that didn't taint my overall experience. The ambiance was lovely, perfect for chatter with friends, and my server was amicable and attentive. I’ll be returning soon for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an incredible dining experience! I visited Cielo Rojo last week, and I was in awe of the vibrant atmosphere they have created. We tried nearly every vegan option on the menu and were pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything was, especially the drunken mushroom enchiladas. The portions were reasonable, but slightly on the smaller side for the prices, so I recommend ordering a couple of appetizers to share. Our server was delightful, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu—definitely made our evening special! This place is a hidden gem. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pleasant lunch experience at Cielo Rojo. The restaurant had a cozy atmosphere and good service. I tried the vegan tacos and found them to be hearty and flavorful. It's a bit on the pricey side, but I felt the quality justified it. Though I would like to have seen bigger portions, I still enjoyed the meal overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, I had a decent meal at Cielo Rojo. The atmosphere was lively, and the food was decent, but I felt the flavors should have been more developed. The tacos I ordered came with just enough filling but felt a little sparse considering the price. The service was okay, but not overly friendly. I might revisit in the future but don’t think it was a life-changing experience. " (*Curated Review*)
