Amazing lunch, the fish tacos are off the hook. This is a family owned restaurant and they make some great food. If you go try the fish tacos.. best around!!

This is a very bad place. My order was not placed correctly. The food was not good. I don't know why my breakfast burrito looked like it was half full. Will never come here again

Staff is very friendly and welcoming which is why I gave it more than one star, but unfortunately the food wasn't good at all. The meat was very tough to chew and had no flavor. As for the enchilada, well the picture tells it all. Almost no cheese anywhere on my plate. Enchiladas are supposed to be filled with cheese and all this was was a wet tortilla filled with nasty tough meat. If it wasn't for me being starving I wouldn't have finished my plate. They never even served us chips and salsa and the people next to us each got their own which was odd. Probably won't be back.

Was looking for a nice place with space to host my field trip of students & I while we were visiting the State Capitol, all I could say is that Cilantro's didn't disappoint! We ordered 13 different meals from the breakfast burrito to carne asada fries and all my students were impressed as well as I! Thanks to the single gentleman host ( I didn't catch his name) and the 1 cook on duty who not only gave us a quick meal, they were friendly and attentive! Thank you gentlemen and we'll see you again when we return to Sacramento in 2025! Phil Ayala, San Jacinto Valley Academy, Director of Public Service & Mayor of the city of San Jacinto

Great food! The restaurant is very nice inside and the staff is incredibly friendly. Family owned and operated. One of the best spots in Downtown Sac.

Pleasantly surprised to find them open. It was a Tuesday night and the web said that they close at 5, but they are open until 7.

Closed at 5pm. Every time I ever come to get some tacos they are CLOSED. Smh

Got their chorizo breakfast burrito. Chorizo quality was not what I expected, and I doubt that it was genuine Chorizo.While likely not their fault, but the horchata dispenser wouldn't serve because of nozzle issues. Slightly annoyed that the staff member didn't omit that option when I asked about drinks.
