Had a machaca breakfast burrito here today that was excellent. Perfect ratio of meat to egg to veg, good flavor, good tortilla, and they drained any excessive grease. It was also ready quickly and the cashier was really friendly.

I had to call you started burrito it was very meaty and had a good taste. The staff was very helpful. I like hot sauce but they're hot hot sauce they had here with very hot. I use a hot sauce that was one step down and it was very tasteful. Be careful my wife had the road tacos and one of the tacos still have the toothpick in it. I would return here.

Mom had Chile rellenos and raved about them into the next day. I had the carnitas street tacos, best ever. Best of all they had the cucumber lime agua fresca. So hard to find. Glad they replaced Rubio’s with really good Mexican food.

Food was ok, I had the chimi changa burrito plate, very little meat and filling the burrito look big but mostly it was the flour tortilla rolled up, it was ok but I bit down on a rock that was either in the burrito or refried beans. Rice was terrible couldn't eat it. My husband thought he give the posole a try because he never had it before. We didn't think the posole had french fries in it? It taste ok the rice was again terrible!I don't think will be eating there anytime soon. The place needs a cleaning, look up on the ceiling fans ceiling. Yuk needs a cleaning bad

Their customer service leaves a lot to be desired. They gave me something different than what I ordered, what I when back to the counter they said “well that’s all we have” and he expected me to just eat it. It’s not what they had advertised on their pictures and it’s not what I paid for. The guy at the counter acted as if they were doing me a favor and not like I’m a paying customer. The cooks were more respectful and gave me something different. I Tried their tacos and they had no flavor. Definitely not coming back here.

Carne asada tacos come with wacomole and pico. I do not like tomato so I asked if I can only get cilantro and onion she said pico already prepped and thats how it comes. Ordered a plain taco with was wacamole and wacamole was not good(estaba pasado). Very dissatisfied

Got the combination with one beef taco and one cheese enchilada. The enchilada was okay, the sauce was okay. The beef in the taco was rancid and completely un edible.

Food was not only tasteless, the beef *carne asada, cut into small pieces) smelled like it's been in the fridge for sometime. The guacamole that came with the plate tasted weired. Not fresh! Bought an oreo churro which was the same, no taste. To add to it the the cashier woman was quite rude. Wanted to find about another dish, she just pointed at the menu and leaned on the counter behind.

I found a long, disgusting hair in my food. I reported it to the staff, but the lady smiled and did nothing about it. I waited half an hour for a new dish (without the hair) and didn't get it. I had to go back and ask for it. the restaurant is generally dirty A very bad experience.

This place has terrible service and the food is horrible! I received what can best be described as a salty plate of slop. My request to speak with the manager was met with hostility and aggressiveness. The cashier rushed my table, rudely sated that there was no manager present and that Cilantro's has a policy of not remaking or taking back or replacing food under ANY circumstances. EAT HERE ONLY IF YOU LIKE TERRIBLE FOOD, DEPLORABLE SERVICE AND BEING APPROACHED IN A THREATENING MANNER IF YOU SAY ANYTHING.

Too bad there is no ZERO stars. My elderly mother told the cashier that her food was too watery. She asked to speak with a manager. The cashier grimaced, refused to get a manager, yelled a few hostile phrases and said that Cilantro's does not give refunds, replace or, remake meals. Her attitude brought to mind horror stories about consequences of expressing dissatisfaction with food. Namely, SPIT, SNOT, BOOGERS and WORSE IN YOUR FOOD ! Needless to say we simply opted to leave. EAT HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!
