    Veg Head
    Amy M.

    Justine was our server and she was such a treat!! She was personable and flexible as it was my first visit! Service was quick and friendly! I will be back on my next visit! I had the Veg Head bowl and it was delicious! I would be tempted to get it again!! Very cool atmosphere with an industrial vibe!

    Awesome new gourmet taco place! The decor is so cool especially the Karate Kid mural, big benches and outdoor patio opening to the inside with a garage door. Food is great too! I had the Nashville Hot Chicken taco and Korean BBQ pork taco. Both were stuffed with meat - there's no way you're leaving there hungry. The margs are all made with fresh ingredients making them the perfect thirst quencher. For all this, it was very affordable if you're looking for a regular spot to go. To round it off, service was excellent! Everyone was so friendly and attentive. You can tell everyone loves working there which is a sign that Management is top notch. Great add to the growing Simpsonville area and a must go for dates, family outings or a fun after work drink with friends

    Our server Ashley was great! Tacos are all pretty much $5 but they are decent size! Lots of options to choose from. Chips and salsa is $2 but you get a good amount! Happy hour doesn't seem too bad and the drink prices are worth it! Will definitely be back!!

    Okay so here's our thoughts... overall the food is good. We wanted Mexican but didn't get any. It's okay though we enjoyed experiencing something different. It's not really our jam but overall it was decent. The downfall for us was the service. Our waitress was not helpful or attentive. We asked for suggestions but she really didn't have any. We looked for her because we needed ketchup but it took a third different person to ask who finally found us some. They had run out... the manager was kind and helpful. She was the saving grace. It's a fun electic place build your looking for Mexican this isn't the place it's a fun different type of fusion. We will give it another go around.

    Great addition to downtown Simpsonville! Food and drinks were great - we came for lunch and dinner in one day! The outside patio is covered and has TVs. The tacos were big and the drinks were tasty. The service is great especially for a new restaurant in the area. We'll be back!

    Great tacos & queso. I had the mother clucker & my wife had the southern tide. The wait staff and hosts are always very friendly and accommodating. Nice open floor plan with booths, benches, and hightop tables.

    We had such a great experience at El Cielo in Simpsonville. Our server, David, took wonderful care…read moreof us--attentive, friendly, and genuinely invested in making sure we enjoyed our meal. 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.

    I have dined here twice, both times weekday lunch. Both times I have ordered the same food because…read moreit was so good the first time, I had to try it again! I was not disappointed. The first time, I was alone, this trip, I was accompanied by my wife. This is important because she has an eye for so many different things than I do, such as the nice, clean, updated decor; the music was unobtrusive and pleasant, it is an open space that "a group of women would like." For me, it looks like a great bar area to watch a game on a relaxed weekend day or night with great drink options and tasty food. I would imagine this is a great happy hour bar, but not a loud kind, just a comfortable space with plenty of options. But, we were here for lunch. I ordered the chicken tinga crispy Mexican flautas: Crispy Mexican-Style flautas stuffed with Tinga chicken, topped with El Cielo sauce and house dressing, served with rice, beans, sour cream and lettuce. It was delicious....again. No wonder it is one of their most popular dishes. The flautas are rolled, fried tortillas with filling, sometimes called a tacquito, although technically a flauta is supposed to be a bit larger than a tacquito. Nevertheless, they were crispy and the accompanying sauces were drizzled over the top. This is not only a great presentation but is tasty enough that no other condiments. The tinga chicken is shredded with a spicy (flavor not heat) tomato, onion, garlic, chipotle pepper sauce. Served with a side of rice, refried beans and shredded lettuce with sour cream. This is a go to dish. My wife ordered the taco salad, as usual, however, not as usual, this one was declared as the best taco salad she has ever been served. The chicken in the salad seemed to be the same tinga chicken as in the flautas - so that is a good reason for this flavor. The salsa bar has about 10 choices including on for children that is mild. We tried five - the regular red salsa, the mango pineapple chunky salsa, the verde tomatilla, the spicy creamy verde and the warm, slightly spicy bean dip that comes with the chips. All were great. If I was picky, the chips are the thicker, more sturdy type (which is fine) and not the thinner, crispy kind (often called "restaurant style." But each has its plusses, so no big deal. Be careful not to over-chip, the salsas are all fresh and very goodl. Our server was a pro - Jonathon. He has been with the restaurant since day 12 after opening and is their most seasoned of the wait staff. This showed in his knowledge of the dishes and attentiveness. Surprisingly, there was not a large crowd at lunch, but a decent crowd. This is now on our regular rotation for a lunch date.

Friendly AND patient since we had people looking over the menu. My husband has many food allergies and Ethan went back to confirm which taco did not have gluten. And wrote down the need to not include cheese on his order since he's gluten free and dairy free. He ordered Carne Asada taco, white corn, no avocado ranch (due to dairy in it) and sub with honey citrus, and the Tipsy Club taco, white corn, no feta cheese, no avocado ranch, sub with honey citrus. This came out twice as they messed up the order in the back as it had feta cheese, and then the ranch. His comment was, it was tasty but not a lot of meat. I ordered two tacos: Seoul Mate and Greek Taco which were both good, not amazing, but tasty enough. We covered Jan's order and she ordered two Philly Filet tacos, hard shell and a naked Chicharrones appetizer which were fried pork skin rinds I think, that were shared with the whole table. I had brought HBD balloons, card, and cupcakes and Ethan said she could have a dessert OR a tequila (pineapple mango? I forgot) which we were all teasing her about it. She chose the dessert, not knowing the cupcakes were on the seat away from her, and wanting to share with everyone though the ice cream portion seemed to have her name on it. That was a very nice and sweet treat that was greatly appreciated. He even took our group shot for us. Because we were greater than 5, we were considered a large party so the 20% tip automatically was included to the bill which Ethan communicated to us about (he's so good) so you can add more. Would I go there again? It's not close to where we live, portion size and options were a bit more limited than we'd like. We chose it due to the location near where Jan just moved to and could pick her up. Some of the others that live in the area says it's especially great to watch sports on the TV and grab food. There were plenty of other people that were eating there. So, unless we need to be back in that area, it's an option to eat at but not one we would go out of our way to. Nice and casual, wonderful service.
