Do not recommend this place. The place is dirty. And the food is not good. We ordered breakfast burritos and when I picked them up I noticed how dirty the counter area was. The credit card machine had food all over it. The area behind the register was a mess. When we tried the burritos the potatoes were burned and under cooked. Not sure how this happens. There was hardly and meat in the burrito and we were charged $2 for sour cream that we didn't get. When we returned the $10 burritos they would not give us a refund. Don't waste your time and money on this place.

Service was quick. Very disappointed in the carrizo torta you can taste the flavor, but there is so little carrizo you feel like you're eating flavored bread? Please think about putting more meat on the torta. Thank you.

Very nice place. They open late, and their carne asada fries are delightful ?The staff is always friendly, but the alcohol is a bit expensive. Overall, it is a nice place to have some Mexican food.

The staff was friendly and helpful when we weren't sure what to order (big menu). Music was a little loud, though. They have a huge speaker next to the front counter.We got birria tacos which were dry and we forgot to get the consomme because we didn't need it from our regular place in the last city I lived in. But this birria definitely needs consomme. Wasn't bad, but was dry.Also got the taco salad which was crunchy and was good, no complaints.I can say that I really loved their Mexican rice! Dry texture (as in, not soggy) and flavorful, just how I like it.

I went here on 1/5/23 around 9:50PM. I ordered a supreme breakfast burrito without beans. When I got home, my burrito was just lettuce, tomato, cheese and crema. I went back and both the cook and cashier said they’ll fix it. I got home and the burrito was the same thing with just added potatoes. I had to go back A THIRD TIME and asked for a refund. The front cashier said she isn’t allowed to give refunds and her boss would. I told her that isn’t right, but she insisted she couldn’t. She then took a picture and supposedly text it to her boss saying I would be contacted the next day. It’s been two days, I’ve had no response for the supposed boss and still have not had any compensation for a product that I paid for and didn’t receive. In my perspective, that’s larceny. This shows that 1) the owner/boss/manager doesn’t trust their employees to handle minor issues, which apparently the can’t since the order was continually wrong and 2) the owner/boss/manager doesn’t care enough about their business or reputation to reconcile a simple mistake. That be the case, I’ll dispute the transaction with my credit card and leave reviews here and on other sites so that future customers know how Cilantros would prefer to operate.

I stopped in to get a quick lunch here and I am glad I did. I got two shrimp soft tacos and sat inside to eat them. They were served to me by a very pleasant server after I placed the order up from. She thanked me for putting my dish up or maybe just for coming in. There was rocking Mexican music on that made me want to dance, but maybe it was a bit too loud. The best part was the tacos were to die for. They had some sautéed green peppers and onions and the shrimp was prepared very nicely. The inside could use a bit of sprucing up, but with food like that, who cares.
