El Cilantro restaurant is a great spot for authentic Puerto Rican food, as praised by native Puerto Ricans. The food is delicious, hot, and fresh, with standout dishes including cola champagne, steak and onions, white rice, black beans, tostones or maduros, and mofongo. Customers have described it as the best Puerto Rican food they have ever encountered, making it a must-visit place. The staff, including the kind and generous owner Elba and her husband, are helpful and create a welcoming atmosphere.
Although the dining room could use some updating and the online menu may not match the in-person one, the food's quality and taste make up for it. Visitors have also noted that the parking is easy and the restaurant is wheelchair accessible, ensuring a comfortable experience. Overall, El Cilantro is a hidden gem worth visiting again for those seeking Hispanic food in the Charlotte area.
