They had me from hello :) This charming little restaurant has added so much to this previously dismal corner.
The moment you walk through the door, it is evident how much care was taken in decorating and planning. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced for the amount of food you are served.
The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and I'm hoping they are hugely successful.

Got the burrito... Bland, rice was under cooked and crunchy... Got the side of beans and rice to go with it the rice was gross... Re-fried beans so salty... Not worth the $

If you're sick of Chipotle, come here. The food is fresher and of a better quality. I took a risk my first time here and ordered the beer-batterered fish burrito. It tasted great. Also, proportions were very big. Price for an entree, chips and a drink is around 10 bucks.

I enjoyed the food here. The prices are great and the ingredients are definitely fresh. I ordered the Tostada salad with chicken. My Tostada salad was very good, but the chicken was a little bland, but nothing a little salt couldn't fix. I would definitely go back again. It's a nice little causal restaurant. The service was great. Everyone should give it a try.

Great little neighborhood restaurant. Food was very, very good. Best guac that I've had since vacationing in Mexico! The salsas were excellent too. If you're looking for "fresh" and "tasty" Mexican fare, come to Cilantros. Kudos to the decorator as well. Really nice inside. The wait staff was extremely friendly and accomodating, the menu had "variety" and the prices were fairly reasonable. Will return!

Wow! This place finally opened just yesterday, and way way exceeded our hopes. Fresh, delicious food, and as good as a full restaurant, but half the price, since it's fast food. I had chicken quesadilla with black beans and cilantro rice, and spouse a fish taco and sweet potato taco.We also ordered a side order of quacamole, made with fresh Hass avocados, with choices from the salsa bar to add to it so you could make it as spicy or not as you pleased. Not sure what that first reviewer was smoking, with such a nasty review from what must have been these folks' opening night-- they have 4 choices of fresh salsas, -the pico de gallo was wonderful with plenty of fresh cilantro, plus 2 choices of fresh tomato salsa, mild and spicy, and a really nice original avocado salsa I've never had before, plus an array of various good brands of hot sauces. We live in the neighborhood and we'll be coming her a LOT.

They opened last night, so take that first negative review with a grain of salt. Tonight we enjoyed an excellent meal. Everything was freshly prepared and tasty. Guacamole was superb. Pico de gallo and their salsas were all excellent. Service was friendly and servers were knowledgeable, so I have no idea what Grumpy Gus was complaining about. Restaurant is clean and attractive. Menu is simple but creative. This is Mexican fast food; for a quick, inexpensive meal, you can't beat it.

Never eat at this place! The food was horrible, and the staff was very disorganized. They did not know what was on he menu, and messed up everyones order. The prices were very expensive, and they did not provide you with enough of food to satisfy your hunger. I am very upset with the food I ordered, and all of my coworkers did not like their meal as well. I would not recommend this place to anyone!
Not to forget the food had NO type of flavor or seasoning! YUCK!
