    Chicken quesadilla with jalapeños & rice
    Olivia J.

    I take back what I said in my last review about always recommending cilantro. Last week was my last time going there for good. They overcharged me for what I ordered, and especially for the quality. It's not nearly as good quality as it used to be. They also didn't put as much stuff in my quesadilla as they used to. Definitely won't be returning, which is really unfortunate because I used to get takeout from there so much that they knew my order by heart. I always swore by it until I hadn't gotten it in quite a while and my recent experience tarnished that.

    Pretty good! Ordered delivery and it came warm and relatively fast. Got the shrimp burrito and it was delicious. Came with some free chips and salsa, which I really appreciated. The veggie burrito was also delicious. Unlike many other veggie burritos I've had before.

    Went to this place on a whim after bowling at Amity Bowl. So GLAD I did! Cilantro is like Chipotle but fresher!!!(I know I didn't think it was possible either) We enjoyed a taco plate which consisted of pork, chicken and steak-they give decent sized potions and sides with the plate option. Everything was DELICIOUS, would definitely go back when in the area!!! The restaurant is on the small side but definitely enough room to dine in with friends and small groups. They also do sell adult beverages (beer possibly a marg) along with authentic Spanish soda.

    "LARGE" Chicken Tortilla Soup. (Large is a 16 Ounce Pint here) the small might be a tiny 8 ounce container.

    Chicken Tortilla Soup and Garden Salad were both good, but the staff preparing orders need to pay better attention to what they are doing. I ordered through UberEats. Each item supposedly comes with complimentary chips and salsa, so I made my selections of chips with green salsa... I've received no chips and no salsa at all. Also, I paid $1.50 for "extra dressing" for the salad and I received "one dressing" only. Like I said earlier, the soup was good but good thing I ordered the "large", because I couldn't imagine what size the small soup is. The so-called "large" soup came in a 16 ounce pint container. Usually "large" is a 32 ounce quart container. I don't know if I will order again since there was multiple items missing from my order.

    It's like snack time at an elementary school in Mexico!

    I had a craving for nachos. I went here because it was close to where I live. They did not disappoint. The nachos were delicious.

    Something is wrong with their food. Their steak quesadilla and beef tasted terrible! They definitely changed the recipe! Not going back.

It was close to 11 PM on a Wednesday, and after trying multiple spots that claimed their kitchens were open until midnight (Google lied ), VivaZ came through. We were greeted right away and seated quickly. Our server was patient, knowledgeable, and very considerate of food preferences at the table -- huge plus there, especially that late at night. Food I ordered the chicken empanadas -- they were big, filled with chicken and cheese, tasty but a little too oily for my preference. I'd love a drier, crispier shell, but I'd still try them again. My brother ordered the shrimp nachos and those were excellent -- loaded, flavorful, and honestly better than the empanadas in my opinion. My cousin got the same nachos and loved them too. A friend ordered the short rib empanadillas and didn't enjoy them. He sent them back and swapped for chicken, which he liked much more. Appreciate that the staff had no issue making the change. Drinks I had an Ilegal Mezcal shot -- my go-to when I'm at a Mexican spot -- and it hit like it always does. My brother's strawberry margarita was also a winner. Overall Friendly service, good food, great energy even late on a weekday. The fact that they were open and accommodating when nothing else was is major. Would we return? Absolutely. Rating: 4.5/5

For small plates, we got the esquites and sweet plantains. The esquites was delicious. For the sweet plantains, they asked if we wanted the crema + queso fresco on the side but it still came on top. Plantains were alright, wasn't loving them though because they were drenched in the toppings. Kale salad was huge! Yummy and fresh. The food came out so quick. I love that they use corn tortillas for the tacos. The pork belly taco was drenched in kimchi, not my favorite but a good cut of pork belly. I like the lamb taco tasted just like a mini lamb gyro. The baja fish taco was my favorite though, it's comes in a huge slab. it was so good I ordered another. I love the chipotle sauce the Baja fish taco comes with too. The music was awesome too, such a vibe. A lot of EDM, felt like all they were missing was a disco ball. Very delicious, would come back.
