    We returned to Cilantro to give them another go. The service was good and what I tried this trip was good. I had the Tacos Al Carbon. The carne asada was well cooked, but the tortillas were a little dry. I mixed the beef with refried beans which made it even better. They do have better spanish rice than most, so that was pleasing as well. We also had the chicken and shrimp fajitas. It was pretty good, but I wish the onions were more well caramelized. I did really like their chips and salsa. The red salsa was really unique and wasn't too hot. It was a nice evening with Christmas decorations that really added to the charm of the place. Cilantro left me with memories of a great evening out with my family. We will be back.

    Beef and shrimp fajitas

    This place is pretty middd, the service was good, nice ambiance inside, but the food was just okay. The chips and salsa were my favorite part of the meal, the red salsa was very flavorful, and they weren't shy about refilling the chips. I ordered the beef fajitas and shrimp which turned out to be pretty lack luster, the beef itself was dry and didn't have much flavor. They also only included 2 shrimps which considering their size, what's even the point.

    Today I had lunch at Cilantro downtown Bryan Teas. Order Chicken Fajitas with Charro bean and flower tortillas. The food was very good and service. Here is a good place for lunch and dinner. They are close in Monday.

    Our first time visit to visit was when we moved our kiddo in to A&M - so today we decided it was only fitting to close the CStat experience with a final Visit. The food and service are amazing. Daniel was so nice and attentive - great service! But let me tell you, the fried avocado (mine was stuffed with chicken, but there are other options) is a work of art. If you're a fan of avocados and deliciousness - do yourself a favor with this one. Yum!

    OK Everyone! This restaurant is sooo good. All of the food we ordered tasted like it was made from scratch. We went at an off hour so there was only a few guest eating. The service was great! It did take some time for the food to come out, but we didn't mind because it was worth the wait! We ordered the stuffed poblano and shrimp and poblano enchiladas. When you go, ask for Cristi! She will take EXCELLENT care of you.

    Do NOT go here if youre looking for even decent Mexican food!! Y'all, I can't believe the reviews and stars after trying to eat here. The salsa was decent tasting but so watery it was a mess. Margaritas that are a mix or wine. Then the waitress brings my fajitas about 5 mins before the rest of our food! The shrimp were terrible and overcooked, like rubber. The beef wasn't very flavorful either. The tortillas had zero flavor even though they appeared to be homemade. The chicken flautas were soggy and didn't taste at all! The guacamole was store bought even! Take your money elsewhere for good food, we couldn't even finish ours. I really wished it was as good as the previous reviews made it out to be.

    Lunch Specials: Speedy Gonzalez and the Enchilada Plate

    Bryan is my home town and just came back for a family reunion craving some great Tex-Mex. This is it! Speedy Gonzales was a hit along with the Enchilada plate. #yum

    Our party of 12 family members ate at this restaurant after celebrating my niece's graduation from Texas A&M. This was her request. And now I know why. The food was absolutely delicious!!! Everyone in our party had something different. The food presentation was mouth-watering. It was colorful and well-balanced. I ordered the Shrimp Poblano Enchiladas with creamy poblano sauce, charro beans and rice. There were shrimp in every bite of the enchiladas and the right amount of the delicious poblano sauce. The rice and beans were also cooked well. The green and red salsa was excellent as well. My husband's Beef Short Ribs with grilled onions looked delicious as well. Even the sweet tea was good. Not overly sweet and the perfect balance with ice. I was too full so I did not order dessert. The staff were pleasant and accommodating. And the restrooms were very clean and spacious. Because I do not live in the area and my niece has graduated my return is unlikely. But I had to write this review for those who live in the area. It is definitely worth a visit. The food is made with love.
