" The shrimp tacos here are amazing! I love that the ingredients are fresh and vibrant. The only downside was the wait time for the food during peak hours—it can be lengthy. Despite that, it’s worth it for a delicious meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" It was a nice experience overall. The ambiance was lively, and the food was pretty good. My only complaint was the service; at times, it felt like the staff were a bit disorganized. But I have been, and the food is generally respectable—mostly hitting the mark. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was solid but not stellar. It felt very much like a standard Mexican place. There’s a sense of comfort here, but it didn’t wow me in any particular area. Worth a visit, but maybe not a must-return spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Cilantros last week for lunch, and I was impressed with the quick service and friendly staff. The atmosphere was perfect, not too busy, allowing for a relaxing meal. I ordered the carne asada, which was cooked perfectly and very flavorful. The complimentary chips and salsa were great too! I will definitely return with my family. " (*Curated Review*)

" Pleasantly surprised by Cilantros! The menu was diverse, and the food was delicious. I had the two-taco plate, and while the food was great, I felt like a little more charge in flavor would elevate it. Staff were friendly and accommodating. " (*Curated Review*)

Archived Reviews (665)

" Had high expectations for Cilantros after hearing so much, but I was let down. The service was off that day; our server seemed overwhelmed. The food came out late, and I found my entree bland. I’ll give it another chance eventually since many seem to love it, but my visit wasn’t great. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food is fresh, but my burrito lacked seasoning. I appreciate the effort put into the ambiance and service, but I was a bit let down this time. I will try again, hoping to explore more menu items. " (*Curated Review*)
