“ An awesome place for a great meal! The restaurant is so pretty, there's plenty of parking, plenty of seating inside, and cute decor. I recommend all the favorites on the menu if you've never been but you can't go wrong with most of the menu. Everything is delicious and so worth trying. I really like their tacos, arepas,sandwiches, and their plantains. Everything is authentic and delicious! Try their cilantro sauce in every spice level because they're so flavorful and adds to each dish. Staff is so nice and accommodating, they always provide so many good recs for their favorites and explain certain dishes and ways to enjoy it. I recommend for groups, casual hangs, a great meal, and a good time. Try everything and come back, try it again! ”
“ Been wanting to try this place for a while and one Saturday afternoon we finally came. What took us so long I do not know but what I do know is we will be coming back! Everything is delicious! From the tamale to sweet plantain, to grilled meat (it had a fancy name but it’s just a lot of yummy meat on a big plate) and cachapa. What I really appreciate is that each dish is delicately crafted and pleasantly plated, while tasted like a mom and pop shop. The entire dining experience was just awesome! ”
“ My first time visiting, I enjoyed the Cilantro Fusion cocktail (a perfect blend of sweet & herby!), the guava/cheese tequenos, the trio-taco arepa (original steak & chimichurri was sublime), the western arepa (amazing smoky sausage), & the pabellon arepa (some of the BEST plantains I have ever tasted!). Everything came out so fast & tasted so fresh, it was just delightful. Our sever was so very helpful guiding us through the menu & made sure we had a delicious & wonderful experience! I cannot wait to come back & try the other menu items! ”

“ We went to Cilantro restaurant for lunch and the place was warm and welcoming. Ambience was very good. The service was excellent and friendly. The food was delicious. They had only a few vegetarian dishes but they were very accommodative. They made the dishes in the menu vegetarian without meat and also made it vegan for one our friend. In the end they even asked what vegetarian protein they can add to the menu. I would highly recommend this place. ”
“ Do yourself a favor and try this restaurant. The arepas were flavorful and well balanced. Each one we tried had so much to enjoy! The tostones guey was a 10/10 because we love chilaquilas. The pastelitos would be approachable to anyone even if they don't consider themselves an adventurous eater. If you like hot sauce, ask for some . The servers help explain the food and there is a photo menu to help you choose a dish. Each dish was around 15 ”
