   Terrible. We had reservations. You were scheduled to be open and yet were closed and locked door. Had a sign saying closed on Monday. It was a Sunday. Very disappointed. Will not return.

   I wanted to have the Cilantro experience of my childhood, but to have that I’ll simply have to revisit my memory. Today’s restaurant has been renovated and so poorly lit that it significant impacts the dining experience. The staff is friendly and accommodating - they changed the color of the lights from a bright blue to a cooler white at our request (we would have left otherwise, that’s how bad the lighting was). The food was mediocre at best. We both had fajitas and thought they lacked flavor, temperature heat (it should come out sizzling!), and sides.

   They didn’t have multiple items off the brunch menu and it was only 1pm. The food took very long, the drinks were watered down. It was suppposed to be a celebration for a birthday and I was highly disappointed, it was nowhere near I had in the upper westside location

   The back garden is a delight, as are the food, vibe and sincerely friendly service! Can’t wait to go back again. My garlic shrimp were excellent but there’s a lot more I’d like to try. Buen provecho!

   Waiter came out to get food order. 1 hour later came back, saw empty table and asked if we wanted to get desert. We said a dinner first would be great. Went back to the kitchen to find out where is our food. 10 min later returned with our food, all cold and dry. Not sure what happened but not the best experience.

   Food was fine very wet and bland. Prices high for portions. Margaritas were watered down and we were offered no salt or sugar on the rim. We asked for chips and salsa and it never came. Will never come back

   Cilantro is a wonderful place for a great Mexican meal at a reasonable cost. The waitstaff is warm, friendly and attentive and the ambiance is lovely.

    Such an amazing experience trying out the new opening. I was amazed by the amount of space and extremely surprised by the outdoor dining in the back. The staff were so friendly and attentive and even helped me celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. He really was so happy and felt special. The food was beyond amazing! We had the chimmichuri steak, taco salad (HUGE), steak quesadillas and flautas.
