★★★☆☆ 3.0 Amber Adkins · Jul 2025

With the exception of the chips & salsa, the food had very little flavor. The chicken and beef in my husbands meal tasted like dried canned meat. Service was decent. We probably wouldn't go back.

★★★★☆ 4.0 tiremaker · Dec 2025

Great food and friendly service. Salsa had great flavor but wasn't very thick at all, had trouble getting it on the chips.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Nancy Whitaker · Feb 2026

We waited for over an hour for our food and knew they were busy. Chips and salsa was good but my food when it came was hard and burnt. I had also ordered Street Corn and when it came it was cold with mayonnaise on top. Our server did not know what to do about the food so he got the manager. I showed him my burnt food and the Street corn. He told me that is what street corn looks like in Mexico and I just could not imagine this. It looked like a can of corn dumped in a bowl and covered with mayo. My guy tasted it and gagged . Also my friend asked for a spoon three times and finally got one. Well we did not have to pay for my burnt food which was hard as a rock, but had to pay for whatever they served us as street corn. I never saw such bad food in my life. So disappointed

★★★★★ 5.0 Nora Schwartz · Jan 2023

What a pleasant surprise as we drove thru town on a weekend trip. Cilanto's service was fantastic, the restaurant clean and welcoming, and the food was great. The kid's menu was perfect and our kids loved it. The fajitas was very large and easily shared with two adults. My 8yr old son said, "It's blazing good."

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 mike smith · Nov 2021

The place is a beautiful use of space. The look is contemporary Mexican restaurant. With all due respect we are over 1400 miles from Mexico, in my opinion the menu is very bland. Prices seem to be in line with average casual dining. Unfortunately the wait staff left something to be desired. We wanted margaritas as you do...which was not on the menu. When asked the waiter said on the back of menu. Which they were not. Then I asked him to show me...he pointed at bottled beer list. If someone else is paying I would go back. This ace is not bad just disappointing. 2 medium margaritas and the cheapest nachos was $26
