One of the best margaritas I've ever had. That says something!! I've only had one as good and this was a close tie but the other was way more expensive. AND they were reasonably priced ...mind blown. Right? We were there for a function so we only had fajitas as an option. They were great! Chicken and beef both. The servers handled our function perfectly. Food piping hot and tasty. Drinks refilled quickly. Chips and salsa refreshed as needed. Very professionally handled. read more

Cilantro's Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Woodlands, Texas

Sit in the bar and have margaritas that you will actually love and enjoy. Jason will wonderful and take care of your drink needs. However, the refills on the chips and salsa you will have to beg for because the lady that helps Jason doesn't care about you other than your silverware and napkin. She really doesn't understand English or doesn't care. DO skip the GREASY chips as I think they change their oil only once a year. You will regret it a little later. And skip the salsa too. It will be limey one day, vinegary another, burnt another, or rancid another day. This place was great years ago, never an issue with anything. This past year or two it's been way below par. The food is actually pretty good. But if you're eating Mexican, you shouldn't have to be afraid of the chips and salsa. Do better owners, change the oil, buy a salsa recipe and use it. read more

We love Cilantro's. They were even open last night after the storm with no lights and they still provided a delicious meal! The service is great, we got our food quickly and the waiters were very gracious even though I know they were hot since the AC was out. It's a beautiful restaurant with comfy booths. read more

The customer service was AMAZING! I was not "moved" by the food. But, the Tortilla soup I ordered was piping hot and plentiful. It just didn't have enough . . . well . . . Cilantro! The flavor wasn't what I expected. But, when you visit Mexico and have the food there . . . that part. This restaurant is huge and I loved the mural. They do make a pretty darn good Pina Colada. It's pretty too! read more

Food tasted good but the waiter looked like she did not want to be there at all. Almost like she wanted to leave

My go-to whenever I'm in the Woodlands. Great Mexican food with a great bar area to have a great time with friends. Super casual so it's always welcoming. read more

Good food and the 2 Fajita Enchiladas were delicious employees are very pleasant. Blended Drinks were also very good! To full for deserts. ;) read more

The service was horrible. The waiter mess our order 3x He was VERY RUDE. Trying to communicate with him he just walked off. I ask to speak with a manager the staff tells me & my family no manager in the building. I have no idea what was going on. read more

Great place to eat, good neighborhood area & family friendly. Can accommodate big parties. Sometime sauce and chips service is delayed. Overall food is good and prices are above average. Average loudness, plenty of parking, well lit are, hard to get out of parking lot due to medians in roadway. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch. the service was good. The place looks ok. The food was ok. 3.5 stars is generous as of this review.

I must admit, I was not very impressed with this place. The portions are large, which make the prices a little more understandable, however the margaritas are nothing to write home about. The main issue I have with this place is the service. Everyone from the hostess, to the waiter, to the bus boy, all seem like they would rather be anywhere else but here. I wasn't expecting a song and dance or anything, but screwed up drink orders and having to ask for more chips and salsa (multiple times) is a bit annoying. Don't bother ordering the Cilantro's Margarita in the hopes that you will taste the Grand Marnier because it just tasted like a cheap house marg. I ordered shrimp quesadillas and didn't know quite what to make of the shrimp... either the pieces were saturated in grease or were not very fresh. The tres leches was really good though. With so many amazing Tex-Mex options, I don't think I'll be wasting any more money here. read more

Ordered take out and got the fajita nachos. I was completely disappointed with the ridiculous excuse for nachos that I received. I paid $8 for 6 tortilla chips with some beef dumped on top. 6 chips does not equal nachos. I seriously thought there had to be some sort of a mistake so I called and spoke with a manager who said that was indeed how they did their half order of nachos. 12 chips was a full order. I cannot believe a restaurant could possibly be so petty to the point that they actually count out the number of chips included in their nachos. Will not be returning to this place. read more

Great it's the best the food is amazing also the service is really nice and the ambiance is great beautiful.

We attempted to have dinner tonight at this restaurant. The restaurant was hardly full but the noise volume was ridiculous. They were running something in the bar area which sounded like a jackhammer apparently fixing something. There was a stench of sewer in the air as soon as I entered the restaurant. There were children running through the restaurant screaming like they were at a playground with oblivious parents on their phones. My friend and I talked about going somewhere else but decided due to the rush hour traffic we would just stay where we were. We ordered our food and drinks. I ordered a large margarita but received a small margarita. I ordered Charro beans, but I received refried beans. Our waiter, Anthony acted as if we shouldn't be surprised at such crappy service. The food was tepid at best. I will never eat at this restaurant again. Very disappointing! Enter at your own risk. read more

Ordered pickup with them through grubhub during quarantine and the pickup was seamless. Always great service but nice to know I can support them easily during coronatime. Food is as delicious as always! read more

Cilantro's Mexican Grill - To-go chicken flautas - Mexican Near Me - Woodlands, Texas

Came here to celebrate Cinco de mayo. The food and drinks was ok. But we got our fajitas before our appetizers. We had the same waitress ( Delsy) we had as last time that we really didn't like . She Acted annoyed when I had a few questions about the menu. After our meal We ordered desert and they we're out of two of the desserts that we ordered. We finally settled for fried ice cream. It was gross. It tasted like they froze it after it was fried and the ice cream was nothing but ice . The shell is supposed to be warm with the ice cream cold on the inside . Not to mention we found some sort of a plastic bag in the ice cream . The waitress said it comes like that sometimes. (What if we would have choked? ) we waited almost 45 minutes to get our check to pay. I enjoyed the one man band more then anything. read more

Cilantro's Mexican Grill - Plastic in my fried ice cream - Mexican Near Me - Woodlands, Texas

If you want too smell cigarette smoke while you eat by all means eat here. I have nothing against smokers, it's your life But this business should have a closed off smoking section! It's horrible your okay with exposing children and your other customers too smoke. With that being said, The food was bad. Chile Relleno had a tablespoon of beef and was greasy. Hubby's burrito was Salty. It was obviously thrown in the microwave. Salsa was one of the worst I've had. It's also Overpriced for Mexican food. Left with a smokers cough and drank water all night. read more

Would recommend the chicken tacos great flavor with the sreaded meat Good service , kept us in hot sauce and tea

The plate had one big piece of hair. When called the manager he disputed that it was hair. Picked up the knife and a brush of hair was attached to the handle. Avoid this place is non clean read more

Chimichanga was 85% stale tortilla shell. Happy hour margaritas were bottom shelf but $6. Salsa was very bland. I'll leave a 2 because at least the tacos were as described. (but nothing special) read more

Cilantro's is a decent Mexican restaurant. I usually order the enchiladas and have never been disappointed. The ceviche martini they offer has mango in it which is something I'm not used to in ceviche but it works well. The only real complaint I have about them is that it's sometimes difficult to get them to bring you the bill and get cashed out in a timely manner. I've never had a "Wow" experience at Cilantro's but it's decent Mexican food and the price is right. read more

First time at Cilantro's Mexican Grill service was very good. Happy hour margaritas were excellent!

My margarita glass was filthy dirty cheese and food on the outside and the inside said something to the bartender and gave us two more glasses we had queso dip taste like came right out of a can. Food wasn't that great temperature wasn't very hot taste very unsatisfied with this restaurant unsanitary also unsanitary so three people walk in without mask on and nothing was said to them read more

I went for lunch with a friend and I had to order 2 different things my first order meat was not like real ground beef it was slimy and watery no thick texture at all and my second order was the beef fajita meat it was uncooked still pink and raw only thing was ok was the margaritas this was my first time trying this restaurant but never will come back mangers was rude and I told her that I wasn't paying for something that I didn't like and the hostess didn't understand English had no idea what we was talking about and brought us drinks without a straw I had to go to front to ask for a straw it was bad business all around this place very disappointing read more

Not recommended! The food here is not good. We ordered the fajitas with chicken and beef. The beef was chewy and the chicken was rubbery. I'm used to tender, juicy & flavorful fajitas and that was not what was served. The atmosphere was okay and the service was so-so. We're definitely not eating at Cilantro's again! read more

Horrible service. Left out items from order and then charged additional. Food was cold and disgusting...Never again.

Absolute love this place! Friendly staff, food is delish and Maggie's are great! Will five more detail review when there again so I can share pics read more

Good food! Kinda pricey for what it is though but you know the man in the big house has everything screwed up and inflation through the roof

First time trying this place. OMG!!!!! The food is amazing, the portions huge, and the prices fair. The do offer smoking in the bar section which to me is a huge plus, especially on a rainy day. We didn't have to wait forever to be seated and the service was friendly. HECK YEAH I will be back. read more

I come here for the strong, top-shelf, frozen margaritas, but the Cilantro's jalapeño chicken has become a return-worthy dish. I enjoy every plate I've had there--from the flauta's to the fajitas--but the jalapeño chicken sets the bar high. And their refritos are delicious. I have to mention that this place is directly responsible for me gaining 7 lbs in one month. It appears that Mexican food makes your clothes shrink. Did I mention the margaritas? The first one is strong, the second one knocks your socks off, but the third one virtually calls Uber for you. read more

We came in here Christmas Eve at 5:00 knowing they closed at 6:00 and not wanting to overstay our welcome because I totally understand. Restaurant folk work really hard and don't have the best hours so we didn't want to keep them at work too long. Our waiter was, as usual, very nice and Johnny on the spot. The food was as always delicious and really filling. We had the small chili con queso which was anyone else's large. The atmosphere is fun and attractive too. But the one thing that impressed me the most was no one there was rushing us or making us feel hurried. We got the same level of service we always do. There were only two other tables in there and I noticed they were attended to nicely as well. We ended up leaving on time and well satisfied. read more
