    Always friendly owner and staff. Authentic fresh food delivered to the table. The prices are great and the street tacos are even better than anywhere else. The decor is simple but the artwork is amazing

    Good little Tacqueria. I went with 3 tacos and they were pretty good. Lunch rush was moderately busy so that was a good sign. Nothing really stood out both good or bad. So if your in the area and need some tacos definitely worth checking out.

    Chicken and steak fajita tacos

    I was the first customer of Cilantro's Taqueria 8yrs ago and have come back many times over the past 8yrs and each time the food is always fresh, flavorful, hot and quick! Consistency is always the same, never skimping on portions or flavor! That can not be said about every restaurant, but it's facts with Cilantro's! The owner is always there to greet me, "my friend!" Patron for life!

    The best quality, portion sizes, and price around. Authentic and everything was so good. So friendly and fun atmosphere.

    Wow wow wow!! So yummy. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place. The chorizo burrito was amazing. My partner had the taco Tuesday deal: carne asada, chorizo and al pastor and all the meats were amazing. Definitely a great spot.

    I happened upon Cilantro's while at Hourglass Brewing and wasn't really feeling any of the food truck options they had that night. As a sodo local with gringos, tin and taco, and black rooster all a stone's throw away, I was really impressed! While most a la carte tacos are averaging close to $5 a piece nowadays, the tacos here ranged between $3-4 and came with chips and house made salsa, both classic and verde. I LOVED the salsa verde, more sweet than spicy!! I got fish, shrimp and carne asada taco, all were delicious. I'm assuming white meat tacos come with cojita cheese and red meat tacos come with more of a shredded blend. It is walk-up style ordering; you pay using the new iPad POS systems which we all hate but oh well it's the way of the future, and you seat yourself with a ticket number. You can tell it is a family owned and operated establishment. The same man that took our order came to check on us while we ate, and staff preparing the food also participated in delivering food to the table.

    Cilantro's offers Mexican and Tex Mex style dishes plus empanadas. We didn't order their tacos (not sure anything will quite compare to the tacos I had on the street in Mexico City). I chose good ole Tex-Mex fajitas. While the seasoning was good, the portions were small. The young man at the counter who sold us the special of the day didn't mention the sides were separate. I saw fajita dinner on the menu and thought it was the option I would get fajitas with rice and beans. He didn't ask me if it was my preference, I asked for the fajitas. He ordered a single fajita. The inside was clean and had nice art displays. I enjoyed the art and music the most. However, the soda machine only served caffeine free Diet Coke. I improvised and mixed it with a tad of regular Coke but it wasn't the same. Overall, I chose this restaurant due to its high Yelp reviews/scores and food pics. The burrito would have been the best thing to try but I didn't know. I wasn't sure why a Mexican place served fajitas so I was curious. The single fajita was good but not too filling. Overall, it's a cute place but the food wasn't five star by any means.

    Cilantros is a gem of a restaurant in the Curry Ford/Hourglass District area. The owner, Edward, is always there and so friendly and helpful whenever we visit. I am not typically a beef taco fan but do not sleep on the beef tacos at Cilantro's! They are out of this world. All their tacos come with chips and tasty homemade salsa. My daughter loves their cheese empanadas. They always have great combination specials on the board up front. There is a hot sauce bar and a fountain station, along with coolers with awesome selection of Mexican sodas, beer and other beverages. They also have fresh agua frescas available. Every time we visit there is great music playing over the speakers.

    Chicken quesadillas and a Pineapple Jarritos.  YUMMY!!!

    Taco Tuesday Lunch Special

    Love this place. It's a great little spot that's tasty for lunch. Taco Tuesday is a great deal and they have a variety of options for the tacos and the drinks. Parking is a bit difficult, but it's worth it. Just note, they are closed on Mondays!

    HOW did the place fall off my radar!? Was last here in 2019 and was hoping it was as good as I remembered, it was-and even better! Absolutely love this spot and the amazing flavors they are serving up. It's a small spot but their seasoning and authentic tacos are so delicious. Love the green tomatillo salsa on their shrimp taco, it was my go to here. It's a smaller place in the hourglass district, but worth a trip here to enjoy some tacos and flautas. Cannot wait to come back and try more items.

    The yelp profile says there are vegan options but I don't see any on the menu. What vegan options are there?

    Nothing is veggie or vegan. I know the owner and he is far from honest. Everything is grilled on the same grill as the meats and seafood. Beware if you have shrimp allergies!

    Decided to go here after the corporate 5k race instead of staying near Lake Eola. It was pretty…read morecrowded when I came, but I ordered through the kiosk. I bought 3 chicken tacos (about 12 dollars), then sat in an empty table to wait. It was ready for me in under 10 minutes. The tacos were small, but they had a good amount of chicken, cheese, onions, tomato, and cilantro. A choice of sauce was included, and I took the hot red sauce. The sauce was small, but still ample enough to pour over the three tacos. The flavors were pretty good (thanks to the heat from the sauce) and it was filling enough for me, though the flour tortillas was a bit too hard for me. The service was pretty good, though I ordered from the kiosk and I picked up my order after they called my name. However, they did check up on me, as well a provided water to cops, and removed empty items from the tables. The staff were quite friendly. The dining area was small and a bit boring. There were 2TVs showing ads for their products, and 1 displaying a horse race. The restaurant was quite cramped, and I was thankful to find a table. It's located in downtown, so parking will be either in a meter or a garage. This restaurant serves pretty good tacos at a reasonable price, but the atmosphere was a bit bland for a taqueria. It was also small and can get crowded and full easily. Best to have this to go or delivered. It's still a nice restaurant for tacos in downtown.
