My friend and I were on a roadtrip and wanted to stop somewhere that wasn't fast food. And Cilantros Grill and Cantina was a great choice! The service was extremely fast and friendly. And you certainly get what you pay for because the servings were huge and provided us with lots of leftovers. We forgot to take pictures of what we ate and I can't remember the name of the dishes, but my friend and I both agreed our meal was tasty. The only thing that I would change is corn tortillas instead of flour...but that's more of a personal preference thing. read more

When I visited Casey this past summer I came to this restaurant for my birthday dinner. Everything was absolutely delicious. I ordered the steak taco dinner and had a margarita. The chips and salsa were perfect. The salsa is not too spicy and full of flavor. I was also back in Casey a few weeks ago and had the chicken enchiladas. Those were also very good. The rice is good, not dry and not too soggy. We also had the guac and that was also a big hit. The server we had this last time remembered us from our first time there. Great Mexican food and decent priced. The restaurant is very lively and they have Spanish music playing. Highly recommend read more

Excellent space for groups, and several large groups were just finishing as we were arriving. Lots of comfy, small booths towards the back and excellent service. Everyone gets free chips and (delicious) salsa. Got guac that tasted fresh and we both enjoyed our entrees. Space is accessible for those using mobility equipment and bathroom is accessible too. Would absolutely go back if in the area again. read more

Cilantro's checks all the boxes for a Midwest, small town Tex Mex joint. That means big portions at cheap prices served fast. It also means not always the most inspiring cuisine, and it also means a familiar menu with some American fried favorites. The good stuff: several nice beers on draft including Modelo, Dos Equis, and Corona. Undoubtedly the best salsa I've had served at a Mex joint in this category. It's really quite lovely, and I'm giving a 4th star for that alone. Finally, the place is kept very clean and is a vibrant, cheerful place to dine. While the food is quite good, there are flaws. Tortillas are acceptable, but are the rubbery things all too common at such places. Also, the fajita side plate was rather mediocre. Limp iceberg lettuce, whitish refried beans, greasy rice. You know the drill. This is a serviceable place. When I eat there again, I'll make sure I finish with the salsa to end on a high note. read more

We were really impressed with how much the people at Cilantro's made us feel like family! Our food was delicious and brought out super quickly. We highly recommend the churro ice cream. And several staff members stopped to check how we were doing and make sure our meal was good. We're really happy Cilantro's is part of the Casey community! read more

Look for the giant taco. When passing through town we asked some people on the street for a dinner recommendation and they mentioned this taco place. Not much to look at outside but the inside was nice with large booths. Service was great and food came out quick. The menu has a lot of choices so be prepared to spend time looking for what you want. read more

Coming from San Jose, CA, I can honestly say this Mexican food was pretty good! I got take out. I ordered the chicken burrito, guac and side of rice and beans. Have was really good, salsa was a little mild but it was mainly for the gringos, so I understood. The burrito was super flavorful and tasty, could definitely use a bit more spice. Would come here again and recommend to others. Staff is friendly too. Ate it too fast for pics, next time for sure. Not sure what the online star reviews are for bc this place is pretty bomb on food. read more

this place is amazing they are fast and almost always busy the waiters are fun and joke a lot.

I'm glad we came to Cilantro's while in Casey, IL. They had a good selection of food items in their menu, and of course, when I saw Lengua as one of their meats, I had to order some street tacos. They were pretty tasty! And they make their salsas in house, which is a plus. Corn tortilla shells are generic, wished they were made in house. Everyday they have a different drink special, we had a pitcher of margaritas for $15, and it was legit. Will be back again whenever I'm in Casey! read more

Very disappointed! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! I was told this is the best Mexican restaurant in the area, so I was eager to try it out. I called in for a takeout order for a steak burrito a pretty basic Mexican food staple. I referenced the menu on Google to make my decision. The menu on Google didn't have a description of what was in the burrito at all but I figured it's pretty basic it should be the norm refried beans, steak, fresh lettuce tomato onions, cheese and maybe some cilantro. Right? I called just a few minutes after they were supposed to be open according to Google. The person that answered the phone sounded a little rude, maybe he was having a bad day already after just opening. He had a tone in his voice like he was annoyed that I called. He didn't bother asking me what I wanted on my burrito or ask me for my name. He said that it would be 15 minutes. I arrived after 10 minutes. I've passed by this restaurant numerous times because I work in the area on the road. They have a giant taco outside in the parking lot which I thought was fun and it always smells good as well as having numerous good reviews on Google. When I walked in to the restaurant it smelled very good and had a very nice decor and fun atmosphere.The staff was friendly when I walked in and I told them I was there for a pickup order for a steak burrito. The gentleman at the front counter went to retrieve it in the kitchen and I went to use the restroom. The restroom had a modern decor and it was clean, except for some funny looking wannabe gang graffiti on the bathroom stall door which was kind of hilarious to me since I grew up in Chicago and this is in a small farm town. Like seriously Anyway, I finished using the restroom and my food was at the front counter I paid and was surprised the price was only $6.66, I should have been forewarned LOL! The menu on Google stated burritos were $8.25 so I was a little surprised but at the same time happy about it being a little cheaper so I tipped $5. I went to eat my food before I made my next stop for work, opened up the container which I was first a little confused about and then looked inside to what appeared to be more of an enchilada than a burrito, with some type of red sauce and cheese on top. I was going to take the food back in but I was very hungry and just taking a quick lunch break from work and had to stay on schedule. I thought maybe this is just how they do their burritos for some weird reason I don't know? I took the first bite and it was horrible. The steak was very salty and over seasoned, the red sauce that was on top tasted like canned tomato sauce with some cheese on top melted and overall everything was cold. I couldn't eat anymore. I didn't feel like dealing with the issue because I was working like I mentioned and just taking a quick break. So I moved on to the complimentary big bag of tortilla chips and salsa that was in the bag with the burrito/enchilada. The chips were stale and the salsa might have been homemade but very salty as well. Overall a disappointing experience after I was told this was the best Mexican restaurant in the area. I guess coming from Chicago you have expectations and standards for certain foods. I will say their food is mediocre at best and I probably would have been better off going to Taco Bell. I can definitely do better myself. I will not be visiting again unfortunately. I feel like the person that told me this is the best Mexican restaurant in the area and all of the people leaving great reviews have never had good Mexican food coming from this small farm town and they just don't know any better. Honestly I would feel bad charging people money for the type of food I received. Not only was the food incorrect but it tasted like crap and was cold. I wish I would have known before leaving a $5 tip. Lmfao! And apparently they don't like being criticized on Facebook. They deleted my comment on one of their post about my experience and blocked me from their page. Great way to resolve things. read more

Service 4 Ambiance 3 average Food 2 So this is what's good, bad and ugly. I had a great steak, #3 on the menu. It was perfectly good..... My GF on the other hand had the chicken and 2 hours later was puking her guts out.... Yeah, ah no! read more

Ambiance is great. Food was average. The chimichangas were dry and no cheese sauce. The fajitas were good with the exception of the menu stated sixteen shrimp and it only came with a dozen. All the sides were really good. Waiter was absolutely the worst we've had in a long time. Seated us took our order. Once our food came he never checked back. Didn't offer any drink refills. Had to ask for our check. read more

This is the best Tex Mex restaurant I have been to in many years. Both my wife and I loved it! Great food, great wait staff, great value...loved it. read more

My fiancé made a reservation for 20 for my birthday at Cilantro's in advance. Upon arrival, others were being seated and our party was not. They told us it would be quite a long while before we were seated as they were very busy. I was confused as to why a table was not set aside for us. I was disappointed because the majority of our party had to drive over 20 miles to attend. The food had been exceptional on prior visits but unfortunately I will not be returning due to the lack of service we were provided tonight. read more

Great food close to all the "big things" in Casey. Excellent margaritas and good service.
