Super chill spot in the middle of the hustle to kick back and grab authentic Mexican food for a decent price. I enjoyed the skirt steak and curry shrimp. The avocado dip was mad refreshing and lite on the stomach. Love the layout and vibe of the restaurant. Staff was very helpful and attentive. Drinks were lively, sprite and refreshing!

We had an amazing experience at Cilantro Mexican Restaurant! The three of us enjoyed every moment—everything from the vibrant ambiance to the delicious food was absolutely wonderful. The service was friendly and attentive, and the dishes were packed with authentic flavors. It was the perfect spot for a great time with friends. Highly recommend!

Cilantro is a wonderful getaway on the upper west side. Delicious food, wonderful service, and a really diverse menu. If you want a margarita or a burrito or both this place has your back!
