It's always a treat when great service elevates the whole dining experience, and David absolutely did that. Even on National Margarita Day! We ordered the house margarita, the birria taco, and a side of rice, and everything hit the spot. The margarita was refreshing and well-balanced, the birria was tender and flavorful, and even the rice had that comforting, homemade feel that rounds out a meal perfectly. Between the warm service and the tasty food, El Cielo is definitely a spot I'll return to. A great night from start to finish.

It's delicious, and you can actually taste the avocado; it's not overpowered by garlic salt, like at other places. You get a generous portion as well. They have an extensive margarita menu. I had the skinny because I prefer fresh lime juice and tequila without a bunch of added ingredients. It was great! I ordered 3 Nixta tacos (Al pastor, chicken, and steak--the Al pastor was my favorite) and a side of beans. The beans are the reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5. They were flavorless, unfortunately. Everything else was great and we plan to return in the future.

I did not receive chips for the salsa, so I was a bit disappointed with that.   The cheesesteak quesadillas were delicious. The flavor of the meat exceeded my expectations. The portion, as well as the meat and cheese ratio, was great. The chicken on the chicken taco was seasoned well. The street corn came to go style with the dressings on the side; I wish it would have come with everything already on top. There was a good amount of char on the corn. The cheese sauce that came with the quesadillas was good. The salsa was also tasty.   I would definitely return for the willy cheesesteak quesadillas alone.

We have only eaten here a couple times so far and I'll say they do a good job. I ordered the "Enchiladas Verdes" (chicken enchiladas with Verde salsa) Was it my favorite Verde salsa? No....Was it good? Yes. Overall the food was good and a large selection of menu items. Staff were very nice and accommodating, the service was very good. They do get busy at times and that can be challenging .....We look forward to going back and exploring more items on the menu.

The chips were fresh and hot, and the salsa bar had many choices, but they weren't labeled so must ask or, try them all. I had the fajita burrito combo and it was almost as big as my head. Shredded iceberg lettuce, sour cream and rice on the side. It was a bit heavy on the beans, but it was well-balanced and quite tasty. My friend got the fajitas, and he said they were really juicy and held their temperature throughout the meal. Highly recommended and rest assured that you'll have another meal the next day.

Then this is the place for you. The waitress did not know some of the liquors at her bar. We ordered table side guac and it was not made at the table but rather back in the kitchen and brought out to us. I ordered a mushroom quesadilla and it came with mushrooms onions and tomatoes My dining companion ordered huervos rancheros And it tasted like there was way too much excess salt. Our waitress never waited a moment to see if we had any further questions as we had to flag her down for the check and to order.Then she left the check and ran away even though we left our credit card out to pay. We had to go find her and walk up to the bar and pay for our meal. I do not leave many one star reviews but I will not return to this restaurant... I will make a special trip to the one on Haywood road.

Our waiter was a superstar- in talking with him he shared he was from Ecuador and made suggestions for our lunch choice. We started with the beef and chicken empanadas- very good- and an order of maduros- ripe plantains. We should have stopped there because I was almost full at that point. For our entrees we chose shrimp mofongo- which we really see in small cities being that it is the national dish of Puerto Rico- and the paella for one. Both were wonderful. I would argue that the size of the paella should be be renamed as a lid of a trashcan serving. It was giant and we barely put a dent in it before asking for a to go box. I highly recommend this spot!
