Good lunch. Had sope and enchilada with shredded beef. Salsa and chips were also good. Good ambiance.

We love this place, they have great pozole and enchiladas. Creamy yummy beans and the best chips and salsa.

This is a great place to eat! The place is well-kept and exceptionally clean. Our server was so nice and helpful. And the food is fantastic. I highly recommend the enchiladas! What a meal. I would definitely eat there again.

Always a treat. Great Mexican food food, lots of indoor and patio seating. Wheelchair/stroller accessible, good parking. Friendly staff, eager to help with refills.

Very disappointed. Went for lunch and was surprised by the extremely high price on tacos, which were $7 each…

Normally, I don’t even entertain places that charge this much for tacos, but I happen to be in the area….

I had three tacos (beef, shredded beef, and grilled chicken), and a spicy margarita.

The tacos had almost no flavor whatsoever, they were very juicy, but seriously lacked any unique taste. I was expecting the best tacos in California for this price. I honestly would not pay more than $2 for these tacos because they were very boring.

The table came with chips and salsa, the salsa was very watery and also lacked flavor. Same with the margarita, the spicy margarita was small, overpriced, and was not spicy at all.

The environment was very corporate, it was busy, lots of customers. But I will definitely not be going back!

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.

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.
