Customer Reviews
Came to Cielito on a Monday night and was seated right away with a reservation for 5 people. The place was pretty empty but they only have a few large tables for big groups. The drinks here were good and the food was okay. Some of our entrees were a bit cold since they were left on the serving counter when waiting for the other dishes to finish, they should really get heating lamps! I enjoyed my chilaquiles however, they were cooked perfectly. I’d come back for some smaller dishes in drinks and would recommend others to do the same!
Food and beverage were excellent! Service was excellent too. However, we did spend almost 2 hours at the restaurant on a Monday evening. You can tell everything is fresh and made to order with quality ingredients, so it's worth waiting the extra time. Just know that if you're pressed for time, this may not be the best place to quickly get in and out.
Cielito has very friendly staff and nice decor, making for a pleasant atmosphere despite the small space. It’s cold by the door so keep that in mind. The cocktails were a highlight—both the margarita and Paloma were flavorful and well-balanced. We started with the shrimp empanada, which was tasty and cooked well, but the filling was sparse. For the price, we expected it to be more generous. For dinner, we tried the pork entrée and the prime rib, each priced at $35. While the food was good, it didn’t feel worth the high price. Way too expensive. The short rib, in particular, was very fatty, which was disappointing. Overall, it was an average experience. While the drinks were great, the food and prices didn’t live up to expectations.
Solid Mexican food (beautifully styled) in a nice space with solid service. Recommend you stick with the taco menu for better value. Maybe missing home (AZ) after a week in Providence, went to find some Mexican food. While different than our normal Sonoran fair in AZ, we thought this place looked awfully good. We started with guac and tostadas. Loces the crispy, fresh tostadas, and the guac was obviously fresh. It was a slightly under-seasoned. I had the Arrachera Campesino (essentially Carne Asada with the usual trimmings). My wife had the chuleta de puerco, and my daughter ordered off the much lower priced taco menu - birria and carnitas. Every plate noticeably well plated, neat, colorful, and artistic. My carne asada was a solid effort. It was mildly under-seasoned, and the
Amazing staff, incredible food, great vegetarian options, and phenomenal drinks. The tres leches with Abuelita’s chocolate is to die for. I’ve been a few times and they never disappoint
