Three of us went here to eat. We had quesadilla, one fajita beef enchilada, a taco al carbon and shrimp enchiladas with cream sauce, and poblano. The food was good but the best by far was the shrimp enchiladas with poblano sauce. Best my husbands had in a long while. The waitress was really hospitable which made our visit pleasant. read more

Service takes a long time to serve because everything is supposed to be from scratch. Sauces are watery and non spicy, chips are sweet :(. Food is flavorless. I cook better at home. Another fake Mexican place. read more

Update April 2021. The food and service had started to fall off here early last year. But a visit today convinced us that they have returned to the right path. Food was hot and fresh and flavorful. Service was attentive and friendly. The facilities are clean and in good repair. The chips and salsa are excellent. I'm glad they stepped up their game and returned to their former glory. read more

This is actually the best Mexican restaurant I've been to in a while. The chicken was perfectly cooked which is hard to find in a Mexican place! Salsa was great too! read more

This place is incredible. I have to say that this was probably the best Mexican restaurant that I have ever been to. The food is awesome and the staff are the best that I have encountered in a long time. Our waiter was super cool and was on it!!!! Everything that we had was fresh and well presented. I highly recommend the Cilantro Grill! read more

First time to cilantro the other week and would totally go back! I love loved my experience: the service was pretty good, it's a nice large restaurant so could be good for large groups. The frozen margarita was good and the beef fajitas were the second best in town but by far the most affordable! My other favorite place has expensive fajitas. This place is super cheap for such a high quality! Also, we enjoyed the queso to start. I was super impressed with this local place located near downtown Bryan and will definitely be returning and taking my husband next time!! read more

The food was great , the service was good considering it was parents weekend and they we slammed

Cilantro's is my kids favorite place. They love the quesadillas and warm red salsa. I love all the fish options. The Seafood al vapor is my favorite. Only deduct stars for tacos al carbon which are so-so. read more

This place is outstanding! We had like 10 Of us and they took great care of us all. Salsa and chip were awesome...kinda how I rate Mexican food places! We had fajitas and dang everything and it was good. read more

Probably my favorite Mexican food place in town. Great street tacos as an appetizer. The chicken poblano or poblano fajitas are amazing. Love this place! read more

This is our go to place. Always good The margaritas are excellent. Wonderful staff Thanks read more

This place is so good! The service was very friendly but a little slow. (Nothing too bad, especially for fresh, hot food!) We tried the fajitas poblanos (chicken) and it was pretty good! Maybe like a 7.5/10. What was PHENOMENAL was the enchiladas with red sauce!!! The sauce was so flavorful. I am usually not a big enchiladas fan but I would definitely recommend enchiladas!!! 10/10 The salsa's were decent, not very spicy. Definitely recommend coming here for mexican food since most places in college station tend to be a little bland/unauthentic! read more

My favorite place to go with family!! The food they serve has always been amazing! I'd recommend this place over Chuy's any day.

Within walking distance of our Airbnb. Very good street tacos. Friendly staff. Clean. read more

Cilantro Mexican Grill - Street tacos - Mexican Near Me - Bryan, Texas

My favorite meal is ceviche. They haven't had it in awhile. Hopefully this post will bring it back. Thank you in advance!

Really wanted to love this place given the reviews. Service was poor. We walked in and two servers pointed at one another. I mean, the place was empty. They were nice enough when they came by but never checked to see how it was, if we needed anything, etc. Queso is not good at all. Yellow cheese and resembled cheese whiz. Salsa and green sauce was really good. (Best part of the meal and reason for the 2 stars) beef fajita enchilada was greasy with small bits of meat. Rice was blan. Beer wasn't cold. Sooo disappointing!!!!! read more

My Wife & I just ate here today for the 1st time. We were impressed with the physical appearance, service and prices. The food was really, really good. It was a bit too spicy for my wife, but she is Uber sensitive to spicy food. On the other hand, I'm a spicy food connoisseur & found the spice flavor and intensity be spot-on! The homemade flour tortillas were great and the warm red salsa was spectacular. You will not be disappointed. read more

The staff super nice. The salsa is really good. Prices are decent. Parking lot small. Ordered beef quesadillas got chicken. But ate them anyway and they were really good. Rice had a great flavor. All in all really good read more

Very disappointing! Service was slow and unfriendly. Food was not good. Javier's Carne Asada and chicken enchiladas with green sauce were unappetizing and flavorless. Sorry I wasted my time and money. read more

Food was very good and amazing salsa. I got the mixed beef and shrimp fajitas. Portion was a good size and came with home made corn tortillas. Will come back when I'm back in town. read more

This place is awesome! A local mom & pop eatery that was excellent in everyway. (atmosphere, waitstaff, food quality) The salsa was served warm and tasted very fresh. I also had queso which was excellent. I do not remember ever having queso that was better. Very tasty & smooth. I also had the daily special which was Carne Guisada. Again excellent. It was served with rice, charra beans, and homemade corn tortillas served hot off the grill. This is definitely a place worth many a return visit! read more

My husband and I just moved to Bryan area. We decided to try something local. We are very pleased with everything! Cleanliness of the restaurant, the margaritas were really good too. Chips and salsa were delicious too. The staff was very friendly. I ordered the stuffed poblano pepper and my husband the chicken poblano. Both of us had homemade corn tortillas... to die for !!! Definitely coming back ! read more

Very good place... friendly place! Had good service and HOT food! Beef Enchilada Plate were AMAZING!! read more

This place is amazing!! We ordered the fajitas poblanos and seriously one of the best fajitas I've had! The meat was super tender and crispy, the cream sauce creamy, and the HOMEMADE tortillas is what tops it off! Truly one of the best fajitas we've had especially for the price of $23 for 2. Nowadays, fajitas are going upwards of $30 for 1! My boyfriend and I still left with leftovers for the next meal. Our waitress was super nice and accommodating. Awesome place! read more

Food was okay at best. Service was subpar and restaurant was understaffed when more employees arrived our server was rude. The restaurant was warm on an already hot day. read more

Been a long time customer but finally done. Service and food quality have been very inconsistent. The fajitas were tough and cold. Watched servers congregate around the bar and service was poor. This is very sad because Cilantro's was always my go to Mexican restaurant. read more

This place is fantastic! I love street tacos and every time I come here I get the appetizer portion of the 6 mini street tacos as my meal. The meat is tender and flavorful and the onions and cilantro taste fresh. And of course the chips and salsa are delicious every time! read more

This is, hands down, my favorite fajita place ever. The portion size is HUGE--even when I'm hungry I typically have to get a to-go box--and funnily enough, I normally don't even like fajitas! (I recommend the beef here.) That said, I'm almost positive they use store-bought corn tortillas, while their flour ones appear to be freshly made. I'd dock it half a star for that, if I could, but for the majority of people, eating wheat tortillas won't be a big issue, so I'll keep the star for that. read more

Food was delicious. I had the enchiladas and they were very tasty with e the red sauce. The refried beans were flavorful as well. I did not care for the rice but I rarely do since I find it bland. read more

Tried Cilantro for lunch today and came away disappointed (given the raving Yelp reviews). The 90 percent Anglo clientele was a dead giveaway. I had the carnitas--good meat but zero seasoning (except for the accompanying green sauce--just warmed-up table salsa). My wife had the cilantro fish and liked it. We both thought poorly of the beans and rice. So, better than the chains in town, but nowhere near as good as Mi Pueblito, El Sol de Mexico (the original one on Texas), or Mi Cocina. I give it 2.5 starts, my wife says 3.5. read more

This is one great Mexican Restaurants in the Downtown Bryan area. The foods are great in terms of authenticity and quality. They serve all categories of foods including starters and desserts. They also have great beer including Modelo. The staff were so nice and attentive. It was a not too crowded and the dining area are pretty clean. I loved the cheesecake! read more

Their food is on the same level as my abuelita. Even better, the price makes this restaurant an incredible deal.

I would call the food a little better than ordinary. I had heard good things--pretty disappointing. Service (you guy) was pretty good. read more

This was our first time and our server was friendly and the place was ice cold. Several items on the menu looked good but since I've never seen carne asada fries I gave them a try. Boy were they good. The only thing that would have made my visit better was if the TV was turned down a bit. Between the music and the TV I could barely hear my husband. We will be back before too long. read more

Kristy was amazing. The food and drinks were more than we expected. The fajitas had lots of meat and the margaritas were to die for.
