    I love their carne asada quesadilla and also their breakfast burritos; it happened that they are on a promotion: buy one and get one free What a great value for their food quality

    This was a shockingly delicious find! Cilantro grill is inside a gas station so the expectation was not high. I ordered a grilled shrimp burrito and a carnitas taco. Both blew me away, the carnitas was tender and flavorful, they did forget my cilantro however. The shrimp burrito had a ton of shrimp inside and was a very good size. I ordered online and the pick up process was a bit clunky but as a whole I enjoyed this spot and will be back

    A Hidden Gem with the Best Shrimp Torta in Town! Don't let the gas station location fool you! Cilantro Mexican Grill serves up food that easily beats high-end sit-down restaurants! It is the definition of a local hidden gem right off Sherman Way. I am absolutely obsessed with their shrimp torta. The shrimp is always perfectly cooked, plump, and highly seasoned, packed into fresh bread with incredible toppings. Every single bite is bright, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. They also have an amazing customizable assembly setup and a great salsa bar so you can tweak things exactly how you like them. The portions are huge, the ingredients are incredibly fresh, and the service is always fast and efficient. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite on the go or planning a detour just to eat here, you won't be disappointed. This place is a Valley staple for a reason!

    I rolled into the sketchy gas station for a breakfast burrito and walked out thinking, yeah, these guys get it. No sneaky up-charge for the carne asada, which is already a win in this town, and they hit you with free chips that come dusted in some kind of nacho-Dorito spice situation I've never seen before. It's weird. It's fun. It works. The asada itself? Tender, nicely grilled, no chew. But the marinade... man, it needed more soul. More lime, more heat, more of whatever secret voodoo makes good asada. Still, it was solid. This place isn't trying to reinvent Mexican food. It's just doing it better than most of the places around here. Would return but not go out of my way.

    A little thicker than my steering wheel.

    Instant regret! I should've just walked away the instant the not so friendly lady finally came to the counter. But I didnt. I ordered 2 asada burritos. $53 after tax and top. $18.99 each. To add insult to injury? I got some thin burritos. A little bit thicker thank my steering wheel handle! Damn! That hurt.

    They Deliver too!! (inside Beverly Center)

    The Best SURF N TURF BURRITO, an INSAANEE Chorizo Burrito, and they also have the best agua fresca I have ever had no exaggeration. They make it PERFECT!!!!! And they always have 4+ flavors or so. It is inside of a gas station but don't let that fool you for how good their quality is. Chef Adolfo is CRUSHING IT !! They even have a delivery service now that says they deliver ANYWHERE, and they delivered our food to the Beverly Center !! INSIDE!!

    I've heard so much about this place and had to try the surf and turf burrito but was surprised on how expensive the burritos were. First of all it's located in a gas station so it makes you kinda second guess the choice but the burrito was absolutely delicious. The issue was the service, when I got to the counter I was not greeted at all. Since you could order from the kiosk I chose to do that since it didn't seem like she was ready to take orders although there was no one else ordering but me. There's lots of seating inside so that's a plus too.

    It has been a number of years since I have been here, so I decided to give it a try again. First of all $18.62 for one burrito!!! We are talking about a hole in the wall, gas station eatery, not El Torito, Black Angus, or even the Cheesecake Factory, but yet the prices are as high as those fine establishments. Nevertheless, I was expecting something grandiose, but what I received was the complete opposite. It was not a mucho grande burrito, but a burrito pequeno! AND, the burrito was filled with lots of rice and very limited on their steak. In fact, I have never have felt so ripped off on the portion of my steak, in my entire life for any burrito I have ordered. Steak burritos are my favorite food of all time. Mark my words on this, the amount of meat in that burrito was a third of what any taco cart offers on the street... no exaggeration one third the amount for twice the price... that just doesn't make sense! How is this place even still open!? My guess is, it is the Emperor's New Clothes mentality. Also, they give you these side chips with your burrito, which are the most nastiest chips I have ever had in my entire life ... absolutely disgusting! I have definitely stepped my last foot in this "restaurant!"

    I had been seeing this place all over TikTok and Instagram, so I finally decided to try it. It is a taco spot inside a gas station in North Hollywood, which threw me off at first, but the hype was real. I came with my best friend and we both loved the food. The quality of the food was actually really good. Pricing was great and there was some seating available. Overall it was a really pleasant experience and definitely worth the hype. I would absolutely come back!!

    When you think of gas stations, you probably don't equate that with great Mexican food and some of the best burritos in the city... enter Cilantro Mexican Grill located within a Chevron gas station in North Hollywood. I guess it's not the craziest thing since I've been told on more than one occasion that some of the best BBQ in the south is located at gas stations. This spot works like a fast casual type spot where you go up to the counter and order and wait for them to call out your name. There's some seating inside along with a DIY condiments/salsa/toppings bar. This place first popped up on my radar because some friends got together and got breakfast burritos from all around town - we sliced them up as best as we could to compare as many as we could...then I noticed this same spot pop up on IG from some folks I follow. I knew I had to go at some point. The opportunity presented itself when I had to be in North Hollywood for a friend's birthday. I ordered the Surf And Turf Burrito. It's technically not on menu, but it's considered one of their most popular items and it's essentially their carne asada burrito with a healthy portion of shrimp (along with a sauce more suited to the shrimp). At $21.99 (as of 4/25), it's not a cheap burrito, but it's huge and there is lots of shrimp and steak, so it honestly feels like a good value and could totally be two meals. When I first unwrapped it, my original plan was to eat only half. I made the mistake coming in hungry and it was just that tasty, so I ended up eating the whole thing in one sitting. Everything was really well prepared and the steak had a great marinade. Just a really great burrito. Lots of the other items looked really good as well. I guess I'm going to have to come back at some point to try more items on the menu! Just tasting the flavors from the burrito I ordered, I can only imagine how good everything else is. Parking could be tough. There's only handful of spots on the lot (it is a gas station). There's street parking nearby, but be prepared to walk if needed. I was lucky I was able to squeeze into a spot, but the carwash line wraps around and depending on how busy it is and how logical the people waiting in line are, there's a chance you may get stuck in the spot for a while.

    Closing up Friday night
    John C.

    I called 2 min before closing and the gentleman on the phone stated I can come and order. When I walked inside it was 11pm already and he took my order without any complaints. The grill was off and they fired it back up to get my last order in. They have always had great food, trust me I don't eat gas station tacos but it's a must try!

    Breakfast Burrito was pretty good! Got it with Barbacoa. Would love if it game with a chipotle aioli or some other sauce besides salsa.

    Is this establishment related to the Mexican fast food chain Cilantro Grill or a stand alone restaurant?

    The restaurant is inside the gas station.

    Any tips on parking? I tried to come but there was zero parking in the gas station and the street is a freeway entrance / exit.

    Two options. One, park across the street and walk across. Two, The Whitsett sports field is on the other side park and cross tue street. If you are not a dan of five min walk, then avoid lunch time during week days

We ordered two breakfast burritos plus a side of rice for our daughter and everything came out hot, fresh, and seriously flavorful. The tortillas tasted freshly warmed and had that perfect light crisp on the outside while still soft inside. The fillings were generous without being messy and every bite had balanced flavor instead of just tasting like eggs wrapped in a tortilla. You can tell they actually season their food properly. What really stood out was the service. My wife had a very specific way she wanted her burrito made and they were completely accommodating and happy to do it. No attitude, no confusion, just friendly and helpful. That alone goes a long way. The rice was simple but really good which kept our daughter happy and that is always the true test. Between the value, portions, and welcoming vibe this feels like the kind of neighborhood spot you end up coming back to regularly. Great food, kind people, and satisfying portions. We will definitely be back.

I finally made it in, and I'm glad I did. The first impression was solid. The entrance and dining area were clean, and the staff were all wearing uniforms, gloves, hats, and hairnets -- a nice touch for anyone who pays attention to hygiene. The place is quite spacious. I especially liked the self-serve bread station with fresh bolillos and plenty of empty trays with tongs so you can grab what you want and bring it to the register. Fresh fruit drinks are also available right next to the counter. I asked the cashier what's their most popular torta, and she recommended the Torta Chubana. I waited about 15 minutes, which I thought was perfectly reasonable since it meant the food was made fresh. Unfortunately, the flavor didn't match my expectations. I was hoping for bold, exciting flavors, but it fell a little flat. It wasn't bad, but the meat tasted pretty flavorless. It could definitely use more salt, pepper, spice, and a bit more cream or sauce for balance. They've got the seasonings -- just use them! Overall, the spot has a great setup and good vibes. I'll likely be back to try other items and hope the tortas get a bit more seasoning next time.
