CIELITO LINDO MEXICAN RESTAURANT

You could say this is a hole in the wall but I have found that these places have the best food. Great Mexican food. The homemade guacamole was fantastic and I am a lover of homemade guacamole. The atmosphere is very basic and low key but it is brightened by the quality of the food!

The food here is excellent. The burrito ahogado is a massive portion size and the quality and taste of the food is consistently good.

The BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT EVER!! Started coming here when I was pregnant ordering their “pregnant burrito”😂 . Absolutely delicious! Still come here with my hubby and will bring my baby girl soon when she gets older as she loved the burrito when I was pregnant too😄😄

Not very good. We won’t be going here again. Chips that we asked for were subpar broken and greasy. My order was not what I ordered. KD’s steak fajitas ended up going home for our dogs. Well just the steak. AND the server flagged the youngest girl at our table up to the counter to pay the bill

This restaurant. Is a 5 star for sure. It's meal is cooked with great care and concern to others. Opinions, because you can't go wrong with anything. You are here, we're from Texas. Closest thing to Texas food. Is this restaurant right hear? Shouts out to the cooks. As well the lovely waitress that make sure your cup is full at all times

It was 1998. I was a 14 year old boy walking the streets in Matomoros, Mexico in search of something to eat. I stumbled across a taco cart on the street and decided to try a couple tacos. While I knew they were different than any taco I had ever eaten, they were authentic and delicious. Since that time I would spend most of my adult life in search of those delicious authentic tacos I bought from that taco stand back in 1998. Well I have finally found them. Biting into these immediately took me back in time to such a more simple time in life, I am so glad I could remember that experience again.

Came here with my family and had the enchiladas. The food was so good! My mom had tacos and my brother go a quesadilla with asada. The staff was really attentive. And the Flan here was also really good

This is a legit Mexican cuisine restaurant! Chips & Salsa are killer, tried several different tacos and the refried beans remind me of the best I had ever had in El Paso. Great service and open at 11am was awesome as well.

Today was my 1st time giving them a try . I got the steak with onions. It came with rice refried beans and a side salad . Had to say it was pretty damn good ill most definitely be back

Food is really good here. Dishes to dishes there is a local place that could be considered to be better. Supreme tacos at the other place are at a 9.5 and these are probably around a 7 1/4...but! They are very good either way. Definitely a must eat at place. Staff is really nice and prompt. Will be coming back to eat.

The food was delicious! Hand-made tortillas, not store bought. Greeted with delicious chips and salsa. We ordered a steak dinner, tacos, and quesadillas. Everything was made to order and absolutely delicious. Steak was flavorful. Tacos were scrumptious. We will be back.

Authentic Mexican cuisine. If you're looking for the real deal mexican food not changed to accommodate American pallets. Great place to visit.

This is a little hole-in-the-wall Mexican Restaurant. Don't be thrown off by its outside appearance. Very small dining area but all good was authentic and home-made. 2 grown adults could easily split a meal. Me and my friend split the Chimichanga which probably had a small 🐄 worth of steak! My girls didn't realize how LARGE the cheese fries were going to be and couldn't finish them. The only soda they have is can or Mexican bottles.. no free Refills. Other than that we were impressed by the food and service. We spent about $15/person. This was a steal compared to Busch Garden food choices. We left the park, got out hand stamped for re-entry and got lunch at this little place.

It is nice place on general, however there are a few things, first I asked for sprite, they told me they just have bottle or can, no soda machine. Also I ordered chimichanga, and usually it’s come covered with queso sauce, it came without sauce. They bring us chips and salsa, they are good I did not like them much, I would say they are different than all Mexican restaurants I ever tried. The people are nice and very friendly

Our experience here was good. The restaurant has a casual atmosphere where the service feels like a family member's home. Our plates had generous portions and the horchata was refreshing. We hope to return soon to give their breakfast a try.

This place was just okay for us. We ordered chicken enchiladas-the flavor was off for me-and I found it a bit salty. The chips and salsa was good, we ordered guacamole-and had to add more salt to it. The menudo was okay. We also got the taco plate and was disappointed to have to ask for salsa. In the photos the dish came with salsa-most places we have gone to always had salsa on the side. We had hoped to enjoy a margarita with our food, but they do not serve alcohol. The food isn’t bad but it also wasn’t good enough for us to come back.

We came in wanting breakfast. My husband asked for chorizo and egg. She said they didn’t have chorizo. We asked for coffee. She said they didn’t have creamer. They didn’t have diet sugar. Then the waitress said they did have creamer of French vanilla, only which diabetics cannot have The chips and salsa that they served us when we walked in. There were about eight chips and salsa full of onions. You have Chori dip, but you don’t have chorizo to make with eggs. Service was very slow, so we ended up leaving,canceling our order.
