El Cielito Lindo

My friend and I got Chilaquiles Verde y Rojo and split it. We are from Oklahoma and we usually avoid Mexican Food this far east, but this place has given me hope for the food culture in Virginia. Excellent!

This is our second time eating in here and I ordered something different and it was AMAZING. The owner helped me create a plate because i don't know too much of Mexican food and it was delicious. The food truly taste authentic and didn't set me bad like other places. The only negative thing is that they can't sell alcohol yet, however they pay extra attention to the quality of the food because of that. Also, super affordable and well-located. Easily the best Mexican food in Roanoke. ALSO their salsa is so fresh and doesn't taste like a can salsa.

Got the Cheese Birria Tacos, and it was so good. I tore it up and the service was beautiful. Loved it and would totally go again, matter of fact I’ll be back tomorrow

Grabbed lunch here and it was absolutely delicious! Will come back to eat again. One thing to keep in mind is they do not serve alcohol but that definitely does not take away from the experience. We had the chile relleno, fajitas and a quesabirria taco

Came in one evening with co-workers and selected this place due to all the reviews. But when we pulled up, at dinnertime to find a dead dining room and empty parking lot, we were a little worried. Their menu has some recognizable Mexican items, but several unique items I’d never heard of, like Huarache. We asked what a Huarache was – they described it as a long plate with a big corn tortilla on the bottom, then refried beans spread on top and then the protein you choose and the rest of the toppings are like a taco. One member of our party got it and it was absolutely huge, and tasty looking too! We also tried items that were exceptionally good, like their pico de gallo, their guacamole, and their hot salsa. Their pico was some of the absolute best I’ve ever tasted – it had fresh avoc
