" I stumbled upon this restaurant while in Pilsen and was delighted by my experience! The ambiance is intimate and the food is delicious. The cecina plate is a must-try, and the handmade tortillas truly stand out. It was a bit slow to be served, but the food was fresh and forgiving that minor wait. Definitely on my list for a return visit! " (*Curated Review*)

The salsa is just spicy enough, and the handmade tortillas are a highlight. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, which makes it perfect for a family dinner. The prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. Highly recommend making this a foodie destination! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm so glad I discovered Cecina Grill! Everything I tried, from the beef tacos to the homemade tamales, blew my mind. The authentic flavors reminded me of meals my grandma used to make. The highlight was definitely the cecina steak in tacos, bursting with flavor and juiciness, paired with perfectly made salsas. For food this authentic, they could charge more, but I appreciated the value. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cecina Grill is truly a gem! My partner and I tried the cecina guisada, and it was amazing. The meat was tender, bursting with spices, and the tortillas were fresh off the griddle. This is one of those places where you can see the care put into each dish. Despite being a bit busy, the service was friendly and made us feel at home. I’ll definitely be adding this place to my favorites! " (*Curated Review*)

" Was expecting a lot more based on recommendations. I found the tacos to be just average; good but not quite enough to make a lasting impression. The service was adequate, nothing particularly bad but not standout either. Overall, it's decent but I think I have tasted better elsewhere. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an excellent experience at Cecina Grill! The breakfast burrito was gigantic and filled with flavor. I was impressed by how fresh everything tasted. The atmosphere was lively and the staff were attentive. I felt so at ease, it made for a great brunch spot. Will definitely be making this a regular stop on weekends! " (*Curated Review*)
