Cilantro Taqueria - Lakewood

I wanted to like this place, but what I experienced after the fact throws it all down the drain. I only ordered two tacos one chicken tinga and one chicken el pastor both were spicy. Immediately after I ate I was gassy throughout the rest of the day, Unfortunately the same night I woke up at 4 am from the stomach pains I was in, as a girl the pain was ten times worse than a first day period. I was shocked from the pains and diarrhea. I didn’t know what to do I took ibuprofen and I was contemplating if I was pregnant that’s how bad the cramping was in my stomach. But obviously you can rule that out because it was from the food. Oh my god I went to hell and back that night so not worth the $12 tacos I paid, I would avoid this place unless you want a night spent in the toilet and suffering. I have never had this intense stomach cramps before from food and I’m not even exaggerating at all. I was pleading with god to please remove this pain I don’t know how I’m still alive after all that…

My absolute FAVORITE Mexican food in the city! Definitely a staple in the community - every location is great. All employees are extremely kind and helpful. Will always choose over Chipotle/any chain restaurant.

For me this has been one of those places I've heard about but never went to yet for whatever reason. It's good stuff. Like a Chipotle / Moes but better. Enter on the left side of the building. Order in the line, get your food at the end. There are tables inside and outside. They had beer as well as other drinks. Parking is easy right out front. Very busy. Nothing fancy (in a good way)! Clean bathroom. Go check it out!

Not very flavorful at all. Toppings were just out of a can, like just drained canned corn and tomato..barbacoa was cooked well but bland. Not joking when I say Chipotle has 100x the spice/flavor of the meat here.......

The food is not necessarily bad but be warned that it’s not flavorful and most ingredients are put on straight from the can. The corn and beans had no extra seasoning. Carnitas bland as well, cooked well but no seasoning. Queso is good though.

Affordable price, fast service.

The most delicious taqueria outside of San Diego county. Recommend to everyone, muchas gracias!!!!

The best Mexican food in Cleveland. Their diablo sauce is also amazing. If you like spicy, I highly suggest giving it a try.

Visited this location for the first time to meet up with friends.

The set up is a bit different with the entrance immediately entering into a food line which I felt a bit anxious about. However the items are labeled and workers are understanding of what's available and offered.

I had a Burrito with Vegan Chorizo, Elotes off the Cob, and a Horchata with a Queso Fundido to go. Everything I would get again, though the queso fundido did taste like the thickening agent did not incorporate well this time. Air quality was good <1000, with not a lot of people dining in.
