Food - 3, service - 3, ambiance - noisy casual…read more We've been here several times in both small and larger groups, weekdays and weekends. We like to support local family run businesses and the food has been good in the past. The wait staff are consistently friendly and mostly competent. We've been pleased that when asked about gluten-free options each time, the waiters know about 90% of the menu off the top of their heads and aren't afraid to say they need to ask the kitchen when there's an item they're not sure about, rather than guess the answer, as has happened at other restaurants. Saturday we had a group of 8 that were seated at 4:45, so not exactly rush hour. We finally had to ask for water after 15 min. It was close to an hour from when we placed our orders before the food began arriving. I had informed the waiter of an onion allergy and requested no onions anywhere on the plate, as well as subbing extra veggies for the pasta. My food arrived with onions throughout the veggies. While I appreciate that they quickly took the plate back to fix it, the new plate had only a single serving of veggies which were so undercooked that even with the steak knife if was difficult to cut, and not great to chew either. I quickly gave up and saved it to finish cooking at home. Another guest ordered the tuna fresh catch rare, and it arrived between medium and medium rare, which was quite disappointing. But at least his veggies were closer to al dente. Another small irritation was that they brought out bread and olive oil, but there were only 5 pieces for our group of 8 so we asked for another one for our end of the table, and they charged us. While we recognized many staff as longtime employees, both the food and the service didn't live up to previous visits, which is even more disappointing because we brought new people to experience their food. Given this experience, it'll probably be awhile before we go back.

We were in Watsonville for a tournament and were looking for a place to have dinner. We had heard…read moregreat things about Jalisco and were excited to give it a try. The restaurant is located in a beautiful traditional building with a lot of character. I really enjoyed the ambiance and decor, which created a warm and inviting atmosphere. Even though the restaurant was busy, they were able to seat us right away. The menu was extensive, offering a wide variety of options. We started with the complimentary chips and salsa, which were both good. The salsa had a nice flavor, and the chips were fresh. We also ordered the nachos as an appetizer. For our entrees, I ordered Combo Plate #6, which included a chile verde burrito, a cheese enchilada, and a carne asada taco. We also ordered a carne asada taco plate with a cheese enchilada and a chimichanga. When the food arrived, the presentation was impressive, and the portions were very generous. Unfortunately, this is where our experience started to decline. The rice and beans were good, but the chile verde burrito was quite dry. The pork lacked tenderness and was overcooked. The cheese enchilada was decent, though not particularly memorable. The carne asada taco was also disappointing. While the tortilla was excellent and the meat was well-seasoned, the steak itself was very fatty and undercooked. In fact, no one at our table was able to finish their steak tacos because of the quality of the meat. The chimichanga was another letdown. It arrived covered in sauce like a wet burrito, which eliminated the crispy texture you would expect from a chimichanga. As a result, it became soggy and still somehow tasted dry inside. The highlight of the meal was definitely the nachos--simple, flavorful, and enjoyable. The service was also very good. Our server was attentive, regularly refilling our drinks and bringing additional chips without us having to ask. Overall, we really wanted to love this place because the atmosphere and service were excellent. Unfortunately, the food fell short of our expectations. I probably wouldn't return for dinner, but I would consider stopping by for happy hour, some nachos or appetizers, and to enjoy the ambiance.

They were very attentive and kind. They were understanding and didn't see irritated that half of our party was running late. I ordered the mango colada. Delicious non-alcoholic drink. It was very refreshing and had a cute presentation too. For food I ordered the tostada de mariscos. It was one tostada but it was absolutely loaded! I had to eat off about half of the toppings before I could pick it up and eat it all together. The generous portion sizes were also true for other items like the chimichanga. It's been here before. Always a good time at Cilantros.

I was surprised at the sub-par customer service at this place…read more It was my first time here, and, at first, it seemed like it would be my new favorite place (busy atmosphere, drinks, food)! It obviously is a popular place. My husband and I sat at the bar and ordered drinks and asked for a menu. And then we waited...and waited, and waited.. The worst part was the waiter/bartender had a long ongoing conversation with the couple directly beside us, but completely ignored us the whole time, and didn't ask if we were ready to order--just walked by after every conversation. We had our menus closed on the counter, so I think it was kind of obvious we were ready to order? Also, no conversation at all about menu items and recommendations--zero, which really helps when I am at a new restaurant deciding what to order. Finally, after a long wait, I did what I really (!!!) don't like doing, which is to try to flag down anyone who might notice to take out food order. At that point, I am over. However, that did work after maybe 2 tries. We both agreed the customer service wasn't very good, and there are better places elsewhere. I guess don't try to order food at the bar. The food was good, but nothing special. The salsa is watery. I do prefer a chunkier salsa, especially with chips. The drinks are very good as well as the wine selection, so maybe that is an option.

Really enjoyed the service as the employees are kind and attentive when you are ready to order or need anything extra. I ordered the carne asada plate with beans and rice and it was great! Meat was seasoned very well, not too thin and not dried out, which is something I always look out for. My server immediately brought out chips and salsa about 30 seconds after I sat down. Food came out faster than expected, in about 7 minutes after ordering, and with more food than I could put down. Ate a little more than half and took the rest home for breakfast the next morning. Would definitely recommend to any guests in the area if you're looking for fast service and great value.

I had a bite which left me craving more for the rest of the day. All in all the quality shows in the food and I will definitely be going back for more. So happy to have this in my neighborhood!

With those views girl, we've GOT to sit on the patio! Hubby and I split a few things, and all were delish! Starting with the sourdough bread with herbed butter, OH MY WORD! The bread was light and airy with a bit of a crunch, but not the type of crunch that makes it difficult to eat, it was amazing! The house salad, so good! We asked for dressing in the side, but it came on the salad - no biggie as it wasn't has heavily doused as most places do. Then we had the steak sandwich, super yum! The aioli was really flavorful. We enjoyed the restaurant and since we are here until Monday we will definitely visit again! Can't wait! PS all of the staff were friendly, from the hostess to our waitress (Marissa?), to the gentlemen bringing water and taking our plates. They were all excellent!
