Found this place at the last minute. Almost missed it because the sign was so small. Anyways, My family was STARVING! & Our food was ready in 5 minutes’ Authentic and flavorful. If we’re ever back in this area we will definitely be returning. SO GOOD! Staff was so friendly also! (Chile rellenos pictured)

Although I think they are a bit stingy with the refried beans, CTG is definitely becoming a thing with us. The tamales and taco's are favorites.

Place is mid if you know what I mean. If you are in the mood for a burrito or bowl style Mexican food and you don't feel like eating at the other Mexican places near by, this is an option. I say an option because your expectations should not be set super high for this place. I ordered the chicken burrito and it had way too much chicken compared to other ingredients and chicken was extra dry. The price of the food is similar to prices of mon and shop Mexican places. In all, just a mid tier place, if you haven't tried than let it be a one and done.

Always get indigestion and heartburn from this location. Never happens to me at Taco Bell or other Cilantro locations, just this one. The steak burrito is always fried meat and maybe that just doesn’t sit right with me but I’m surprised to pay +$9 for a steak burrito and be bloated for hours yet I can load up on Taco Bell and be totally fine. The employees at this cilantro location are just unfortunately really bland. I don’t want to say anything mean but honestly they make me lose my appetite before the food. The cashiers are always unfriendly and now they have this plexiglass in the way and they don’t even try to speak up louder. Just a bad experience and even worse service with increasingly higher prices for food that literally always gives me indigestion. Why do I keep going back? Well Taco Bell is across the street and I keep thinking heck I want to support a independent business. Meanwhile the other taco places in the area are only Spanish speaking so I’m kind of stuck choosing between the two… it’s been years and despite covid pandemic they haven’t stepped up their service and especially the food. Why fry steak? Omg it’s just lazy and kills the meat… no wonder it’s the same cost to buy a ground beef burrito and a steak burrito here. I literally just got Taco Bell and got enough food for my whole family for 12 bucks, meanwhile One burrito at Cilantro is $9. I only wish their management cared but seems like they are left to run themselves (into the ground) by their own employees with no manager or leadership ever in sight. Rip Cilantro, I’m 100% positive you will be out of business within a year at this rate. Ps. They are literally always empty while Lil Caesars next door is always busy. Go figure.

Best green salsa hands down! I buy a bottle every visit. They have the best steak tacos. 😋😋😋 Edit: so they changed their green salsa and it’s no longer as great as it use to be I think the chick said they add more cumin to the recipe which makes it taste off . But their tacos are still up to standards and recommend them for their food regardless
