We have been loyal fans of Cilantros since the first week they opened many years ago! Over all these years the team/family has maintained the high quality and delicious food we look forward to year after year. During our annual week at RB, we also stop by Cilantros at least twice. The first visit is within 30 minutes of arrival to sit at the bar, chat with Frank, and enjoy the best ceviche around! The Casamigos Margaritas Frank is making behind the bar are the best in RB. Over the years we have sampled most of the items on the menu and have never been disappointed. The flavors are always delicious and portions a good size. In addition to the ceviche, the fish tacos are one of our favorites along with the spinach enchiladas. Highly Recommend! read more

Went with idea, based on reviews, this was the best Rehobeth has to offer for Mexican. If it is I am glad I am vacationing here and dont live here. Overpriced, zero flavor (as bland as bland can be), and they charge for chips and salsa. Service was decent and good location but surely missed the mark on good food. read more

The vibes here were great! It's pretty small so the only available tables might be outside so keep that in mind. The crab nachos were delicious and my husband enjoyed his tacos. The tostada was just fine. It seemed like the place was a bit understaffed but our server kept up with it well. read more

The service is always excellent. The servers genuinely want you to have a great experience. They all have a thorough knowledge of the menu. And surprisingly. Also of food allergies. The kitchen is willing to accommodate food allergies as much as possible. The atmosphere is wonderful. But I think the best spot on the house is on the front patio people watching. read more

Atmosphere was great and waiter was very pleasant! Food was very disappointing . The entrees we ordered had little to no flavor, and presentation was just fair. For 4 entrees, 2 drinks and 2 alcohol drinks bill was $157. By the time we gave the normal 20% tip as the waiter deserved, totaled $197! Dont think we will be back! read more

Excellent margaritas and affordable beers. Nice location right on the Main Street with outdoor and indoor seating and bar. Mexican food hit the spot- I got chicken nachos (not on menu) which they were able to make - satisfied my craving Husband got the burrito with chicken on the menu- large portion with lots of chicken and cheese Great spot to enjoy a few drinks and people watch. read more

Walking in- Walking in I got an amazing Mexican vibe that carried throughout my whole time here. Service- Our server didn't speak English very well, but all the food and drinks came in good time. Lemonade- The lemonade was definitely freshly squeezed, not the best I've had but still really good with a nice balance of sweet and lemon. Meal- Let me just start off by saying everything was super fresh. The Pizza Mexicana was delicious, all the components (guacamole, beans, cheese, etc.) were delicious together, but it fell apart quickly and I had to use my fork and knife. The corn was amazing, the way it was cooked and the cheese made for an excellent dish. This is my favorite Mexican place in Rehoboth, so you should give Cilantro a shot and see how you like it. read more

We had dinner here tonight and it was delicious! We ordered the enchiladas suiza (my favorite), tacos and a burrito. Everything was fabulous. Super nice waitress and everything came out hot and fresh. We will definitely be back-- highly recommend!!! read more

We always have delicious food and drinks at cilantro. Our waiter last night told us it was his first day (on a Saturday night!) and he did a great job. Delicious tacos and healthy taco salads as well. We enjoyed margaritas, mojitos, and caipirinhas. They don't have anything posted but I asked about happy hour which they do run from 3-6 Sun-Fri. We liked sitting outside on the patio to people watch, you just have to watch out for flies. Inside is super colorful and beachy! read more

We were in town for my birthday and once checked into our hotel, stopped in for a mid-afternoon drink. Madelein welcomed us immediately and made us feel at home at the bar. She served up the BEST margarita we've ever had. I chose the Jalapeño margarita, and my husband chose the Señora. Oh my, perfectly concocted! We also snacked on guacamole, chips, and salsa, all of which were fresh and delicious. We loved this place so much, we went back again a few days later for margaritas while out shopping. Perfect location, fabulous service by Madelein, and a cozy bar. Highly recommend! BEST MARGARITA IN REHOBOTH!! read more

Lovely little place to eat, with lots of vegetarian options. I got the chile relleno, since I am a vegetarian. It was definitely the best I have had, and was cooked perfectly. It came with a scoop of rice and beans. I will say it was a bit expensive for the portions ($18). That being said, great food and good service. read more

We were on vacation in Rehoboth and a friend of ours loves the jalepeno margaritas here. All of the other restaurants had a significant wait time so we agreed to have dinner here as well. The food was okay. Maybe a bit bland. read more

Great authentic mexican but also serves tex-mex. Choice of 3 sangrias, on the light side but still delish. For authentic mex- try the mole! Each bite you can taste one of the 20+ ingredients. It is served with mexican rice and black beans- one recommendation is to balance the heat of the mole with white rice. For desert, a rich, smooth tres leches! For a more intimate dining experience, head to the back patio. Lost a star due to high prices, but it *is* on the main drag in Rehoboth. read more

This is a not so hidden gem on the Rehoboth Main Street. Nice bar area in the back plus an outdoor eating area in the back. The drinks are quite good. They use quality tequila. The entrees were delicious. Family recipes made to order and only fresh ingredients. Recommend the Red Snapper and the pork chops. Definitely coming back. read more

Our server (Todd) was wonderful, he was a delight and very attentive. Our food was flavorful and brought out while it was hot off the grill. The steak was cooked perfectly; it was juicy and the knife sliced through it like butter - not chewy at all! They've done a nice job of spacing out patrons and have some nice outdoor seating to accommodate people. read more

Cilantro Cocina de Mexico - Enchiladas Verdes and Carne Asada - Mexican Near Me - Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

We love the drinks, the food, and all the staff we've had the pleasure to meet over the years. This is a family-owned restaurant and they really take care of you. When it's just me and my husband, we usually sit at the bar and have their homemade sangrias. They make awesome queso here and the tortilla chips are light-tasting. Love the ceviche. And the nachos. Actually, I've never had bad food here! I love everything. Wish they had a dancefloor as the music is awesome!! Of all the places at Rehoboth, this is the one I look forward to the most!! Cheers! read more

Their name should be Cocina de Mexico Para Gringos based on the blandness of their food! I'll only discuss the entrees my family members or I have eaten. Steak fajitas arrive sizzling, with rice, fried onions, refried beans and guacamole. The dish looks good, and is made to order. Burrito macho (steak) is good and seems to be prepared to order based on low anticipated sales (chicken is much more popular). Burrito placero (chicken) definitely seemed prepared in advance and microwaved. The chicken was rubbery and tasteless. Avoid this dish. Chuletas al chipotle (grilled pork chops) are tasty, but I'm amazed at how they create 1/2" thick pork chops -- you'll leave still hungry. Pechuga Estofada (stuffed chicken breast) which I've had a few times, is variable. Sometimes it's good (if bland), sometimes it seems pre-made or assembled haphazardly. A roll of the dice. The service is usually good, the staff is friendly and professional. We had one not great experience with a waiter who didn't speak or understand English at all. The ambience is good, Mexican background music is pleasant and not too loud, there is plenty of room and the place is airy due to the open front and open garage door on the side. Conclusion: Meh... read more

We were seated immediately for a party of 8. The food, service and ambiance are all amazing. True Mexican food at the beach. Don't sleep on this one. Everyone was smiling on the way out the door. read more

Food is amazing!!!! Chile Relleno is the best I have ever had and I have tried many different places!!! Mojitos!!!!

Food was average, nothing to write home about. Plantains looked like the ones that come frozen. Guacamole definitely not fresh, rice was crunchy. Thinnest NY strip I've ever seen for the carne asada read more

Awful. Simply awful. This was so bad that I'm writing it in the restaurant. Firstly... everything is a chargeable extra - 1oz if sour cream is $3. Secondly my entree was delicious but finished in under 3 minutes. It was jokingly tiny. Just a tad bigger than a jalapeño popper. $17 for a snack. My wife ordered nachos with chicken and nothing spicy. It was covered in jalapeños and had 3 tiny pieces of chicken. The fajitas were tiny and just barely cooked. TOURSIT TRAP. Everything was premium priced!!! (Also they were out of several beers) read more

My family decided on Mexican food so we dined in since it was a short walk from our hotel. We arrived around 5:30 and were immediately greeted; which was nice because I thought we beat the rush. We chose to dine inside so we wouldn't be in the heat or sun. We were seated in the inside but right at the open garage door, not much of a dine in experience. After getting our table, 4 other groups came in and were seated around us. Although we arrived first, we were the last to be waited on. Once we got our drink order, the waitress noticed a speck in the sprite. She took it back and got a drink. I happened to notice my glass of water and that too had black flakes of some sort floating at the bottom. I should've walked out when the drinks were dirty. The first basket of chips and salsa are supposed to be complimentary, we didn't get any chips until the quesito came out. We requested a beef quesadilla but got chicken instead. There about 6 or 7 flies buzzing around our table the entire time. Nothing worse having to wave your hand over your meal so flies don't land in it. I've been here in the past but this was by far the worst experience. I regret leaving a tip but I'm not that type of customer. I will not be coming back. I'll be trying Mariachi the next time we want Mexican at rehoboth. read more

First when we entered, the waitress asked us to put on a shirt. Many people on the street were not wearing a shirt, nor shorts; however, we were wearing shorts with our bathing suit. We were totally okay with wearing our shirts, but it was irritating when there were multiple other people in the restaurant wearing just their bikini top. The same waitress who served us and asked us to wear a shirt served them and had no issue with their clothing. Regardless, the food didn't make up for it either. I ordered tacos al pastor and it was as dry and lacked flavor. It came with rice and beans, however the flavor and texture was not capable of being fixed. My sister ordered these hard shell tortillas with chicken and toppings on top. That was good. It had flavor, seasonings, and a beautiful presentation- which is why this is a two star rating. It lacked professionalism and courtesy, but had good chicken. read more

Very good Mexican restaurant - better than anticipated! I went with my husband, 3 year old, and 5 year old around 6 pm on a Monday in August. Our waiter, Antonio, was full of energy and suggestions. We started with the chips, salsa and guacamole, which were good. I got a martini and my husband got a beer, also good. Ordered chicken fingers, fries and a side of beans for the kids. For entrees, my husband got the tacos al pastor and I got the Camarones al Cilantro appetizer and the octopus appetizer special. My appetizers/entrees were delicious! And everything came out very fast and piping hot. Husband enjoyed his tacos and we had a second round of wine/beer. Antonio was a great server, same for any other servers who delivered our food, etc. Overall great experience! read more

We were in the mood for Fish Tacos & Margaritas so ended up here last night for dinner. Our server was Grace; very sweet. Started with chips, guacamole, salsa & ceviche with a pitcher of Patron Margaritas & Dos Equis. Entrées: Fish Tacos ( Mahi Mahi) Spinach, Vegetable & Cheese Enchiladas -- all delicious. The only negative was the rice was a bit crunchy or I'd give it 5 stars. Unfortunately, we had too many Margaritas and I forgot to take photos of the food. I liked their music selection. A plus. read more

Not a great experience... from the not good salsa to the weak (and soupy?) $22 grilled octopus appetizer. Main courses were not to my (or spouses) liking as well. Had the Chile Rellen Adelita and Pechuga Estofada - neither tasted fresh or came close to the description on the menu. Chicken was not stuffed but simply two thin slices of breast (?) on top of each other and some cheese on top. The Chile Rellen was filled with what appeared to be bacon cut into small cubes. The Rellen had good flavor, but just seemed to have been made a day prior then heated when ordered. Also, pet peeve - they charged $2 for some hot sauce. Bill was ~$100 plus tip. Ambiance was fine - small and a bit cramped, but outside patio appeared nice. read more

We went there early tonite before the crowd for Cinco de Mayo, It was great! Food was fresh, drinks were amazing. Our bartender Francisco a person who is excellent at his job and has fun with it also! read more

THE BEST MEXICAN RESTAURANT IN REHOBOTH...maybe the best in DELAWARE!! First of all , walk in the door and ask for FRANCISCO. That's all I have to say, as he will COMPLETELY TAKE CARE OF YOU! FIRST CLASS SERVICE. He's the bartender but we were lucky because of covid to get him as a waitor. (Covid has been very good to me in a lot if ways, I have to say, but I digress...) Next ASK HIM TO MAKE YOU A MARGARITA. That's all you have to say .... except that ALL THE DISHES are homemade family recipes, Gladys the owner is a lovely sweetheart and I love how proud and happy they are of their restaurant. Because YOU ARE FAMILY to them. We had the fish tacos, excellent. The chicken enchiladas suiza, excellent. The black beans are the best and the pinto beans are also...the best, what can I say?!?!?! Just go there. Air conditioned. But today the ocean air is so lovely they opened up the doors to the patio and front door and a beautiful breeze is floating in. I don't want to leave. I'd fly from Cali to go here again. read more

This was our second time here and we were so happy that we found it again! Our server was awesome and very personable. Food was delicious as we remembered and the ambiance was so warm and welcoming. read more

Server was rude and wanted us out of there ASAP. There was a hair in my cup and they complained because I had taken a few sips without realizing. They wanted me to pay for it which I didn't. The food was okay not really authentic mexican food though. You could get better mexican food for better prices, I would not recommend this spot. read more

Food was okay. The place is pretty big. I got the chicken tacos. The chicken was a bit dry. Chips and salsa you get free but if you want more they charge you. That was a turn off. Been to so many Mexican places where they keep bringing it to you for free. read more

On vacation with some friends and returned this year again for happy hour. Again, it's hands down the best deal out there. $6 margaritas, $5 sangria, $3 tacos, and $8 nachos. Frank was our bartender agin and provided outstanding service. He's a lot of fun and made sure we never ran out of drinks or food. The kitchen ran out of beef for the tacos, which was a bummer, but goes to show how good they are! read more

Food was amazing I ordered the Mexican street corn and 2 shredded beef tacos they were amazing! Great service. The setting and overall Ambiance of the restaurant was fantastic. Made me feel right at home. YOU MUST TAKE YOUR FAMILY HERE FOR DINNER OR LUNCH! read more

Out of this world costumer service. They are very lovely people and understanding of order changes. Food was amazing, perfectly seasoned. You could tell their guacamole is homemade and has the perfect ingredients. Their meat was tender and perfectly seasoned, so was their rice and beans. Definitely my go to Mexican food place. read more

We got lucky finding this gem. Everything was a crazy wait and didn't impress me. This restaurant has some really nice dishes that taste and look more authentic. I got the catch of the day without rice and salad. It was a massive filet of fresh and delicious white fish. I can't recall the name. My wife ordered three pork tacos that also came with rice and then a side of black beans with that Mexican mozzarella cheese that I'm having a difficult time remembering the name. The service is very friendly and attentive. The prices are also fair and they have indoor and outdoor seating. I'm definitely coming back the next time I vacation in Rehoboth. read more

We were looking for Mexian food. So glad we found this place. Food was so good! The salsa that comes with the complimentary chips and salsa was great. We also added guacamole, safe to say that was the best guacamole I have every had. The place was nice and cute and the service was great. read more

Needed some dinner after a long day on the beach, and we all agreed on Mexican food, which landed us here. We were sat pretty quick for how packed it was at 7pm. Drinks: Excellent!! I had a mojito and my gf and her mom had mixed tequila drinks. One was fancied up with a cinnamon stick, and another was fancied up with lime and ginger. We all shared sips and enjoyed all the flavors!!! Food: Between us, we ordered Delicia Dr Portabella, Tacos de Pescado (Fish), and Tacos al Pastor (Pork). We also shared the house guacamole with chips. We were so stuffed once finished. Everything was perfect and the flavors were mouthwatering!! Everyone knows of the Pavlov dog conditioning right....that was me with the food!! Best Mexican food I've had in a long time!! read more
