I stopped by Cilantro & Tacos and ordered a spread that included the 4 Birria Tacos, ACP, mixed-meat street tacos, and a couple of Cokes. The birria tacos were the highlight of the meal--crispy on the outside, packed with flavorful meat, and full of that rich, savory birria taste that keeps you coming back for another bite. The mixed-meat street tacos offered a nice variety, featuring birria, al pastor, and tripa. The al pastor brought a good balance of seasoning, while the tripa added a different texture that taco fans will appreciate 8 out 10 . The ACP was ok but needed more flavor on the rice and a for the grilled chicken and cheese I would have like more flavor on it to but me being the Fatboy I am , I added some of the consommé juice in and mix boom Flavor So all together I'll give them a 7.8 The customer service was great Josue took great care of us read more

Stopped in for some tacos while in the area. Walk up counter service is quick and efficient. A small place modern interior with bright artwork, thats casual and relaxed. Seating inside and out. I went for the four tacos and opted for Al Pastor and Carnitas, two of each. Served in a basket. The tacos were very good street style tacos, diced onions and fresh cilantro with each type of meat and the shells nicely grill cooked. Not to big, not to small, just good tacos. Along with a pineapple Jarritos in the bottle it was a good lunch. 4 Stars Some of the better tacos in the area and worth a visit 01170 read more

Fantastic place! Authentic options and wonderful ingredients and specials. The folks who run this place stated the Cilantro and Taco food truck that used to sit on Peter's Creek--we love supporting local! Check out their sweet space with full wall of greenery! (We also enjoyed the little wooden games at each table:) The mango aqua fresca is not too sweet and perfectly refreshing, and the folks behind the counter were helpful and kind in explaining (in English or español) menu options! A favorite. read more

I've been here on a few occasions last year, but figured I'd go again for something new "to go". The decor is very nice and festive. The person at the counter was pleasant. I showed her the exact pic of what I wanted, chicken soft tacos, which looked delicious! I was so excited to try. Unfortunately, the food was bland. The chicken wasn't flavorful at all. There was too much sour cream & too little guac. I peeked into kitchen & based on the way the cook put the PRE-COOKED chicken on the grill, she was having one of those days and the flavors revealed it. I begrudgingly picked through 2, but sadly tossed the 3rd. Three stars is generous, but it considers former experiences. read more

Such a quaint and stylish little restaurant with amazing staff and incredible food. This isn't your typical Mexican restaurant as their flavors and menu are truly authentic.

I have been wanting to ck this place out for awhile. We stopped in for lunch, small inside but bar stools along the windows add to seating. It's fresh & clean - you order at the counter & they bring to your table. we ordered the street tacos & the Birria bowl. We couldn't decide what we liked better: the tacos can be served on corn or flour tortilla, they were plentiful & delicious! The Birria bowl was filled with rice meat, onions, guac & what I really liked was the pinto beans rather than traditional refried beans. Reasonable prices, quick friendly service - this will certainly be one of our local favorites! read more

I have been a consistent supporter of this business when it was a food truck. I was excited when they opened up their store front. The first few visits were great and consistent with the quality of the truck. The carne asada was ribeye meat that was tender and juicy. Since then my last few visits have been disappointing with the quality. The meat is not tough and tiny bite size pieces instead of the ribeye. The food is also salty often and the rojas sauce that comes with the meal and now bland and not spicy. This is so disappointing as this was one of my favorite places and very convenient to the house My last burrito was not as good and the sides have also been reduced. I see this often with so many businesses having a hard time with quality control. I guess I will have to switch to the shrimp or ground beef. read more

Cilantro and Tacos never misses!! This has become my go-to spot whenever I'm craving tacos. I always order the chicken or steak fajita tacos, and they're consistently well-seasoned, flavorful, and filling. The entrée comes with three flour tortillas and your choice of meat, along with grilled onions and green peppers, sour cream, cheese, pico de gallo, guacamole, fresh cilantro, and sides of lime and radish. Highly recommend! read more

We were trying to decide where to eat on a Saturday afternoon after errands at Costco. We did some quick searches on Yelp and my wife remembered this "hot and new" restaurant. Cilantro and Tacos is located at the end of a small strip mall just over a mile off Peters Creek Parkway with a Dollar General in the middle and a Marco's Pizza on the other end. There is ample parking. They have a small outdoor area which has several tables and chairs with red umbrellas that will be great when the weather is warmer. There weren't other customers inside when we entered and we were able to ask some questions at the counter from the young lady. We asked her what some of her favorite items are and found out they operated a food truck for about five years before opening their brick and mortar location approximately three months ago. Cilantro and Tacos is what we would describe as fast casual, you place your order at the counter and take a seat. It is not very large inside, the dining room consists of about 8 to 10 tables, some stand alone and some booth style with counter seating along the windows. The menu board is behind the counter. We each decided to order the Birria, my wife chose the birria bowl with no sour cream and I chose the birria quesadilla with double rice, no beans. We had a seat and waited for our order to be called. Although it was empty when we arrived, we had no idea how popular this place was. There was a steady stream of customers coming inside to pick up orders and when we left there must have been another eight customers inside either ordering or picking up. They also appear to do a good amount of orders through both Grub Hub and Uber Eats. Our food arrived in a timely fashion and looked delicious. We both really enjoyed our meals and they were very filling. Great experience, we will be back! read more

They have made the move from the food truck to a nice brick and mortar restaurant in a great location. The place is decorated nicely and everything was clean. We were finally able to stop by and enjoy a sit down meal. My wife had the steak quesadilla meal and I had the Birria Taco platter. Four of the best birria tacos that I've had here in Winston! Mondays feature free chips and salsa so we added a side of guacamole. It was small but good. Quick service at the counter and from the kitchen. Check them out if you're in that part of town. read more

I normally love the food here, but tonight (6/24/2026) was a big disappointment. I ordered a chimichanga with shredded beef and some chips and cheese dip to go. When I got home, I found a very burnt chimichanga with steak instead of shredded beef and cold cheese dip. Don't know if you have new people in the kitchen, but this meal should never have gone out like that. For $25, I expect better. read more

RUN FOR THE BIRRIA TACOS! I love them so much, but often don't order them because they aren't what I want-but theirs are perfect. So flavorful and I could drink the consume. It's a small space but parking is easy. They were sending out a ton of take out orders in there. Sides were 7.99 each. So yeah, a reduced price with meal or comp chips would be great-but it is what it is. I'll be back for the birria! read more

The owners, Jesus and Norma Santiago, began with a food truck in 2021, and moved into this brick and mortar location in mid-October. Like most foodies I go to a new (at least to me) spot, with the hope that this would be a great find! Unfortunately, that was not my experience here! The place is small, seating perhaps 30, with some additional outside seating on the patio. The inside is bright and clean, nicely decorated. There is no table service shop head to the register. The menu is rather small - offering Birria Tacos, Bowls, Quesadillas, Burrito,as well as several other bowls and tacos, burritos and a few side dishes. This not an inexpensive place - 4 Birria Tacos will run $14.99. In fact, most of the major items are in the $12 to $15 range. And there are no comp chips and salsa - but you can PURCHASE them for $5.99!!!!! So, when I get free chips and salsa at Los Junes, El Camino Real, and MOST other Mexican restaurants, that is a $6 gift! Now as to the tacos, they were just average - the meat was rather dry and lacked any depth of flavor, as did the consommé. The tortillas lacked freshness, and also fell apart. I would not consider a return visit due to quality and lack of value. Note that they have a 3% surcharge for CC use! Ambiance - 2.5 Food - 3 Service - 3 Value - 2 read more

Ordered the torta, burrito, and tacos. Overall, I wasn't impressed. The torta especially missed the mark.. the bread was way too soggy and just felt too oily. The other items were okay, but nothing memorable. Also, I didn't feel great after the meal, which definitely took away from the experience. Not sure I'd go back. But the restaurant tables look clean and nicely decorated. read more

I was excited to give Cilantro and Tacos a try because I needed a break from Thanksgiving food. The location is easy to find and not far from Peters Creek. My son and I ate there for lunch. He had the kid's tacos with rice and beans. The kid's meal is generous and he loved his meal. The steak was flavorful and tender. The rice and beans were tasty as well. I had the lengua tacos. They were delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful. I also had a side of chips and the mandarine agua fresca. The chips were fresh and the aqua fresca was refreshing. It was a little on the pricey side, but it was well worth it. We plan to come back and try more on the menu. read more

This place is not a fancy sit down type restaurant. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you at small size tables but WOW the food is amazing and the people are so nice. I had the Baja Shrimp Tacos and, without a doubt, these were the best shrimp tacos I have ever had. The spices were unique and tasty -- the shrimp were smaller and tender -- I don't like thos great big ones that come in some dishes that are tough and flavorless. My friend that the Taco Salad and she said it was superb. They do catering, too -- what a great idea for a party!! read more

My wife's order was wrong twice. The first time, her al pastor tacos had cheese added and the kids meal was forgotten. We returned and the kids meal still didn't have cheese. The drive back was not worth it after the argument my wife had with management. read more

I moved to Winston about 10 months ago and have been struggling to find a decent Mexican restaurant- I think I found my place. The food was great here. I had the 4 tacos combo (asada, al pastor and lengua) and would definitely get all 3 again. It's a fairly simple restaurant with walkup counter service and a clean dining area. Definitely going back. read more

Not Impressed. It seems that the place is run by kids who were more interested in themselves than the customers. I ordered the tacos birria . the taco shells were colorful, but were too thick and had no good corn flavor to them. The meat was just OK. The birria consomme was watered down and almost tasteless. they do not offer water to drink. You have to purchase something to drink if you want it. I probably will not go back. read more

Food is great, service fast. The birria is authentic and the flavors are authentic. It is our new favorite Mexican fare. LOVE IT!!!

Four out of five stars for my overall impression after a half-dozen or more visits. Terrific tacos, especially chorizo. Would be five stars but the last time was kind of a big miss. One of our favorite things is their chorizo burrito but they did something different last time--they put cream sauce in the burrito, which my wife didn't like at all. On my birria burrito, they put a lot of cream sauce on top, and I also really disliked it. We will probably still go for the tacos, if they didn't change those too, but won't order the burritos again unless they change them back. read more
