Quaint and cozy location. Service is as humble and authentic as the food is. You can tell there is a lot of love in the kitchen.
Prices are low for how well portioned and stacked the food is. We loved it. Shame we were only having small bites to try multiple places because the pozole and steak plates look amazing.
You've gotta try the ceviche and tinga tostadas.

not Tex-Mex but Mex-Mex!

One of the best Mexican restaurants I’ve dined in. Very good set of choices for vegetarian and vegan folks.
Food items use fresh ingredients, including hand made tortillas and corn that is gently boiled overnight that is used in the soup.
I recommend trying the enchiladas and stuffed poblanos. The gravy was flavorful and the serving sizes did not feel overwhelming.
The best part is none of the items use excessive rice or cheese. All the items felt like having fresh home cooked food.
Highly recommend.

This is strange, but I feel compelled to warn anyone who will get sick from wheat and gluten. I had eaten at this restaurant with the understanding that it was “dedicated gluten-free”, an exceptionally high standard for food safety for celiacs and others who are very sensitive to wheat. The food tasted great! Unfortunately, this is not longer safe, no longer “dedicated gluten-free”, as in, the kitchen prepares wheat ingredients now after having previously kept them out of the kitchen. The weirdness is that there’s no communication about this on the menu or in person. I got the info from a gluten-free guide. When I’ve been to Los Cilantros, I’ve talked about it with the staff: “So glad this place is gluten-free and safe for me!” I guess they don’t understand that somebody could be seriously ill for a few weeks from this surprise. Suggestion: add a poster advising “not a gluten-free kitchen”.

Quite simply the best home-cooked Mexican restaurant in memory. Cozy, family-run, every dish clearly made with love. Fresh, true to style (homemade blue corn tortillas!) thoughtful menu and a nice little selection of beer, wine and sangria to go with. It was our first time trying it tonight, and we already know we will be back soon to try the whole menu. Highly recommended!

We have been meaning to eat at Los Cilantros for years, and just never made it there. I am so glad we finally went, a hidden gem. Everything we had was delicious. The chips were crispy but not greasy, the guacamole flavorful and you could still taste the avo. The Cesar salad had wonderful complex but not overpowering flavor. The Ensalada de Col was simple, tasty, a perfect accompaniment to the rest of the meal. My daughter had tacos, 2 asada, 1 mushroom. She said the mushroom were delicious, she wished she had room for more, and the asada was as good as her favorite Mexican restaurant. The chicken enchiladas were delicious, authentic tasting verde sauce, simple black beans on the side. Wow, not sure why we waited so long, can't wait to go back and try more! (PS The restaurant itself is lovely, quiet environment, good service. We did not feel rushed, we felt encouraged to enjoy)

The food was very good, a little on the pricey side but worth it. Got the barbacoa lamb, and it was very tasty. Loved the homemade tortillas. The flan for dessert was very tasty and came with some strawberries on the side. Very good food, all gluten free.
The tortillas & salsa are homemade and the food tastes fresh and yummy! The space is charming, clean, and smells good.

The food was good, but a little too overpriced, especially considering the vegetarian options weren’t that fancy.

Delicious food (great fish) and lovely service. I also like supporting a place with focus on community, authenticity, and quality. Right next to La Peña cultural center. Love it!
