" I've been coming to Cielito Lindo for years, and it's always a solid choice! They have the best horchata and the plantain empanadas are to die for. If you haven't tried their loaded taco, you're missing out! Staff is always friendly, and I love how the decor has a cozy, family feel to it. Just be mindful of their hours of operation – sometimes they open later than advertised. Still, it's worth the trip! " (*Curated Review*)

" Never knew a little restaurant like this could pack such a punch with its flavors! The spicy chicken tamales were the highlight of my meal, perfectly wrapped and so flavorful. I do think they should add more seating since it felt pretty cramped, but the friendly service made up for it. Overall, a fantastic experience for someone looking for authentic Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! My friend recommended this charming little spot, and I'm so glad we came! We shared a bunch of dishes, and each one was better than the last. The empanadas were incredible; the sweet plantain and cheese was a standout. This place is a real treasure, and the friendly vibe can't be beat. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just wow! I came here craving some good Mexican food and Cielito Lindo did NOT disappoint! The birria tacos were out of this world! Flavors that brought me back to my travels in Mexico. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere made it feel like a homey place. I loved how they offered both Mexican and Tex-Mex options on the menu. Everything was reasonably priced for such great quality, too. " (*Curated Review*)

" The breakfast burrito was bursting with flavor! It's like a warm hug on a plate. I loved the chorizo and the ingredients seemed fresh. The only downside was that the wait was a bit long, but totally worth it. I'll be coming back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I come to Cielito Lindo Bistro, I leave more satisfied than the last! The tacos are so fresh and are bursting with flavor. The staff is friendly and remembers regulars, making you feel like part of the family. The prices are also very reasonable for the quality you receive. Can't recommend this place enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was decent, but it didn't quite live up to the hype. I found the guacamole to be bland and it lacked spice, which is surprising for a Mexican restaurant. The service was prompt, and the place was clean, but I had higher expectations based on other reviews. I may return to try other menu items, but I hope they improve their guacamole. " (*Curated Review*)
