We went to Cilantro's as it is my daughter 's favorite restaurant (that we would go once a month ever since she was a baby.) It was a surprise for her 27th birthday. We came into SC County to surprise her.
We made reservations and ended up deciding to eat outside in the patio and at first it was great, weather wise but by the time the sun was going down, it started to get cold. We could have used the outdoor heaters at least next to our table.
Excellent carne asada (marinated steak) fajitas with all the bells and whistles. We always order more sides and more tortillas (both corn and flour.) Presentation is so good, on a sizzling cast iron pan. Usually one order of fajitas is sufficient for my two kids and I, with an added side order of rice and beans. You get huge portions!
My growing son also ordered a carne asada super burrito and ate some of the fajitas too.
The guacamole at Cilantro's is second only to Jalisco's in Watsonville!
My kids and I love the Pina Colada virgin style!
We have been coming to Cilantro's for 25 years now. It is always a great choice for lunch or dinner or even happy hour. They used to have dancing there too when they would play music (near the bar). I am not sure if they still do that or not.
Parking: Depends on when you come there regarding how full the parking lot is
Kid-friendliness: Most friendly with kids outside in patio as inside is more intimate and quiet. I guess it all depends on age and behavior of children, etc.
Recommended dishes: Flan, Chips and Salsa, Carne Asada Plate, Nachos, Cilantros, Steak, Guacamole, Rice and Beans, Burrito, Skirt Steak

If you’re going to be seated outside make sure you ask for your waiter right away. Outside for about 20 min. Horrible. Not even busy.

I had chicken on top of a green spring mix said which was perfect. Husband & Mom had halibut tacos, we also had guacamole & shrimp ceviche “like” dish. Impressive & unique flavors, very fresh!

Disappointing. Bland taste. Mediocre salsa. Made me appreciate my local burrito shop in Santa Cruz, Las Pericos.
Aaron was great. Very attentive and friendly. Got the bottle of mimosas for brunch with the Enchiladas Caseras. The red sauce had a little too much vinegar flavor, but not too bad. The patio was wonderful. Not too sunny.

This is one of our go to restaurants. No one makes a better margarita and the skirt steak is some of the best I have ever had. The servers are always very kind, helpful and fast.
