I'm positive didn't want to leave a tip! Tried bypassing the tip screen but somehow a 25% tip on a $11.50 torta was included!! Why would I leave a 25% tip on a to go order? Really getting tired of the tipping screens!!! If it was 10%, then more palatable!! 25% tip.....wow! Restaurant operators need to realize the tipping screens is leaving a bad taste on customers!!! By the way, the torta al pastor was ok! read more

Cilantro Taco Grill - Rosemont - Receipt w added tip!! - Mexican Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

Food was inedible. The steak- chicken fajitas tasted spoiled or just had a off taste. Service was fine- nothing notable. We will not go back. read more

5 stars for Cilantro Taco Grill in Rosemont. I would always pass this restaurant on my way home from doing something in Rosemont, and I figured tonight I would finally give it a try. It's a quick service Mexican Restaurant, they cook your food very quick and the workers are very friendly. We tried a chicken taco salad and steak taco dinner - the steak was very flavorful and filling. There is also a self service salsa bar where you can pick your own sauce (mild medium or hot) and limes/giradnara and a bar. There are no fountain machines however so you'll have to buy a bottle/can. I'd highly recommend a visit if you want something quick in Rosemont and some good Mexican food. read more

Cilantro Taco Grill - Rosemont - Steak Taco Dinner - Mexican Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

Decent spot for lunch. However, due to many offices in the area, be prepared for a little bit of a wait. They have lots of meat and veggie options. Tacos, burritos, taco salads, etc. They also offer a wide variety of salsas. They have canned sodas and bottled water. Plenty of parking. read more

Coming from California my expectations for finding decent Mexican food were low. Coming from a chain, even a regional one, my expectations were even lower. I was honestly surprised, this is legit Mexican food. My fiance picked up a sampling for all of us. My lingua taco was very good, as was the chile relleno burrito. The steak in her taco salad was highly seasoned yet delicious. Her chicken taco was good, too. Everything was fresh and well done. You can't get any toppings like avocado or sour cream on the side. It's either on the food or you don't get it. Odd policy. Good prices, but the prices shown are for cash transactions. If you use a card it's an extra three-something percent added to your bill. That's really tacky, and borderline deceptive. I understand wanting to recoup transaction fees, but that's just the price for doing business. They do call it a discount for paying cash, but the prices shown are for cash so that isn't a discount. I can't give five stars to any place that tries to nickel and dime you like that. So, 4.5 stars for the food, 4 for the value, one star for the toppings not being offered on the side, and one star for the credit card fee as presented. That's 3.5 stars total, rounded up. read more

This is one cool hidden gem in rosemont I did not expect to come across. Before taking my gf to the airport for a girls trip, we needed an immediate meal to stop the hanger overload. We came to a mutual decision that tacos are going to save the day and they did! We also loved the layout of this restaurant with cool murals and art of the city. They even have a cool toppings section for accessible for all. read more

This used to be such a great place, we even catered a party form them several years ago. It had been awhile since we'd been there and the food was terrible tonight! Tacos could not have been more dry and flavorless. Dousing them in salsa was the only way to make them edible. What a shame, will definitely never go back. read more

Cilantro Taco Grill - Rosemont - Dry bland tacos - Mexican Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

Living in San Diego it is hard to find good Mexican food when in the Midwest. I got stuck overnight in Chicago & Cilantro was next door to my hotel. I ordered a burrito and it didn't disappoint. I ordered a Jamica to drink & for a chain it was very tasty. Fresh ingredients and a clean restaurant. You order at the counter & pick up your food. The young man at the counter was polite, but he didn't know how to punch the numbers in on my voucher (enter like a credit card.) So I was not able to use my food credit from the airline. I would eat at Cilantro next time I'm in the area. read more

Always my go to. Good Pastor. Very pricy. Customer service is awful. Barely can take an order over the phone. Asked for a side of onions and cilantro.....told me they didn't have any....i asked again and was told again they didn't have any. Seriously? Absolutely ridiculous. read more

What a great find, right across the street from my hotel. I ordered through Yelp (GrubHub) and the order was ready when I arrived. As you can see, everything is very fresh. The steak was thinly sliced and tender and the lettuce and tomatoes were the perfect pairing. The tamale was excellent as well. I got the sauce between mild and hot, and it was very good as well. My experience with Cilantro validates all the other great Yelp reviews. And by the way. They are so successful that they are moving across the street to a much larger location. As I was following directions to the current Cilantro, I saw the new location on my side of the street. I went inside, and it was under construction. It is close to being finished and I am happy for the owners and crew that they are so successful. I am attending MidWest Furfest in early December, and I won't even have to walk across the street! read more

We stopped in while they were still in the old strip mall location. We had planned to go somewhere else, but the wait there was very long, and we were hungry. It wasn't the friendliest experience, but the food was hot and fresh - and we weren't their for making friends. Beans and rice are kind of a "tell" and their rice was fluffy and the beans were thick and delicious. I could always add more cheese though! We were all happy with our food and the portions were enough to fill us up. read more

Cilantro Taco Grill - Rosemont - Crap - Mexican Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

Located in a plaza and easy to miss this place has some excellent Mexican food that comes out hot and fast! Recently stopped by after a movie at the AMC nearby due to a taco bowl craving and left here completely satisfied. Haven't had a taco bowl as good as this place in quite a long time, and judging by the stacks of taco bowls they have prepped behind the counter I imagine they sell many of them! Order the the counter towards the side, pick up window is towards the front. They have pretty standard options for Mexican food. Husband really liked his tacos al pastor and the taco bowl had plenty of rice, beans, carne asada, lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado. Add as much of their salsa as you like (they have 3 different types in their mini fridge) and you're off to a great meal. Definitely a fast food joint vibe as you pick up at the counter and manage your own utensils, water cups, and salsas. They have TVs around if you're interested but really the food is enough! read more

Terrible! I ordered on Grubhub. My food was poorly packaged ( it leaked all over the bag), it's soo cold as if it was sitting in a fridge premade or something, the guac was brown and the chips and meat to condiments ratio was soo off . It's like they just slopped it together. I'm so disappointed. read more

We placed our order in person at this location for dine-in (Nobody eise in line). After waiting 10ish minutes my husband went to see what was causing the delay. The girl forgot to make our order and tried to cover it up by saying it wasn't ready. She said to the other worker that she screwed up. Meanwhile, several customers had placed and received their food. My husband sat down on the bench near the counter and waited. They FINALLY handed him a to-go bag with our "dine-in" food in styrofoam containers! The employees didn't care and didn't offer plates when we questioned the to-go boxes. What was supposed to be a nice dinner at a place we've been wanting to try, ended up being a major disappointment. Also, the food was below average. Don't waste your time or money! read more

Who doesn't love a good torta!? Cilantro has many options and one of our favorites is the steak torta ! It's so fresh with real avocados sliced inside of it and unlimited salsas to put on and in it! It's a cute place to go in and grab a quick bite! We also love their tacos, tostadas, taco salads, & of course their burritos! The service is so sweet and the ambiance is even bigger now that they moved locations! read more

Normally people in this location is nice but this monday 08/11 I got a horrible customer service experience! Taking my mother out for dinner, a young cashier with no face expression couldn't speak Spanish or English pointing me where to stand with his finger, I couldn't understand a word, he never used customer service words and avoiding eye contact at all times, no manners. I order 6 tacos and a side of beans, he made me scanned my credit card twice with No explanation at all. I repited the order 3 times to him because he couldn't articulate a word... "6 tacos total and a side of beans ok?" I said and he said "Yes" but he never printed my ticket with no explanation said. 15 minutes later the order came out with 2 tacos short and no side of beans... No printed ticket given and he was gone! This time a very rude young lady asked me if I paid the other 2 tacos and the beans, I explain the whole situation with the cashier. She gave me such a hard time while my food was getting cold! I told her that I was going to see my charges on my bank App while eating because my food was getting cold and that I was willing to pay If I see that I was not charged twice. She kept arguing about it making me feel very uncomfortable, I couldn't enjoy my food! Ones I finished my meal, I check my bank App and find out a total reflecting the cashier didn't took the order right so I came back from my table and show her my phone and then proceeded to pay the rest. She was very rude with me even though i tiped in both transactions... read more

Food was good! I appreciated the salsas laid out for you to grab your own. There was a variety with different spice levels which was good. Lots of seating and the place got pretty busy for dinner! Wished the tacos had a little more flavor but the salsa I added was good enough. We also got some limes for our tacos as well which were a juicy but could've been a little more fresh. Nonetheless, decent tacos especially for the price! We paid with the inkind app and got a discount which I recommend! read more

Went from very good, first choice for tacos and burritos to limited menu and flavorless meat. Was one of the few places to offer cabeza but no longer. Steak in burritos and tacos was absolutely devoid of any seasoning. Can no longer recommend. read more

Don't order through grubhub. The tacos had NO toppings on them (cilantro, onion, etc.) I placed an order for 15 people and rather than putting names on the items, they wrote on about 5 of the items. It was a nightmare sorting through all of it! read more

Honestly I really enjoyed this place a lot. Pretty clean and the service was good enough. Tacos I had were really really good to be honest. Usually I don't have high expectations for the chicken tacos but get them because they're hard to screw up. These were pretty flavorful and juicy which i was happy about. These Al pastor was good and moist. Carnitas were really good but honestly it was more like pork belly they had a crunchier texture (I love pork belly so I loved these). Rice and beans weren't exceptional but serviceable for sure. Prices based on the menu were very good - $3.75 a taco. I didn't pay tho so I'm not sure if that's the true price as others have mentioned. Will be coming back read more

Visited here on a Thursday evening for dinner with family visiting from out of town. It was busy and food was flowing from the kitchen. I was really impressed that it was busy since this isn't close to any residential areas and usually this place is busy for lunch due to the lunch time rush of business. The ambiance was amazing for a weekday night. read more

Definitely worst tacos we've ever had. The tortilla was stale and tasted like old oil. The chips were extremely stale. The salsa bar was very dirty and empty. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Ever since this location got new management it has gone downhill. Tonight we got steak tacos and almost choked they were so dry. They no longer have shrimp tacos either. I will NEVER EVER go back to this place. It's worse than Taco Bell. I never had tacos stuck in my throat until now. If you go to this location make sure bring a lot of water to wash down the dry leather tacos. what a waste of money! read more

This location never disappoints. Came in on a Sunday for dinner and was a good amount of people. Waited about 10 minutes from ordering to getting food. Steak burrito with no beans 10/10 very flavorful and everything just went very well together. Tomato's we're actually tasted his time unlike other times and it was pretty nice. Steak taco with cilantro and onion was 7/10 just wasn't hitting the spot as much as the burrito. Sauces were great especially the avocado one, I believe it says hot on it. Chips and salsa 10/10 it's my favorite yet. Some charcoal taste and spicy with some tangy. Very good I recommend. read more

I ordered some tacos and 2 Al Pastor Burritos, Tacos are smaller than use to be, price is higher $5 and cents each taco, burritos had an ok flavor but they had liquid coming out when i cut them, overall food quality it is not the same as before, will look for better quality food elsewhere read more

Food is flavorful but little bit on pricey side. Staff is courteous. Few times that I have been there it is usually not crowded

The food was amazing, it is a more authentic, clean and less greasy version of Chipotle; even my sister that doesn't like avocado ate the avocado in her burritos. The food came out quick in about 10 minutes. The workers were very nice and very quick to make our food. There was a very nice vibe, a chill place for quick easy, fast, yummy food. Would recommend. read more

Incredibly average. Large varied menu for protein but my barbacoa burrito had no flavor. The beans and rice were adequate. Even the churro was doughy. There are a lot of fast casual Mexican restaurants way better than this one. I was disappointed. read more
