“While I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, there were a few minor issues with my order that prevented me from giving a perfect rating”
The Rosemont locations showed me their side of cilantro. This wasn't close.
I've been a regular at Cilantro Taco Grill in Old Town, especially drawn to their irresistible guacamole.
The cashier is never happy when I go there I’ve been there 2-3 times. Never going back. The food was not worth the price.

“Steak and chicken tacos were excellent.”
Steak and chicken tacos were excellent. Guacamole also very good. Salsas and rice too. Cute and clean restaurant. Saw two workers both very friendly. We look forward to coming back!

I recently had the pleasure of trying Cilantro Mexican Grill, and I must say, it was a delightful experience. I opted for the steak tacos, and they were delicious! The steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned, and the tacos were filled with flavor. The portion size was generous, especially considering the reasonable prices. While I thoroughly enjoyed my meal, there were a few minor issues with my order that prevented me from giving a perfect rating. However, overall, I would highly recommend Cilantro Mexican Grill for a tasty and satisfying meal.

“This is my third time eating here.”
This is my third time eating here. I’m a really picky eater and need my meat well done and they executed it every time. Not only is the food amazing, but the prices are super reasonable for a spot in the city! I ordered a quesadilla, steak tostada and chicken taco. My brother got the elote and said it’s better than the ones he had in Mexico. I also met the owner who went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with our experience.

“For a strip mall taco joint, this place goes above and beyond in terms of flavor and freshness.”
For a strip mall taco joint, this place goes above and beyond in terms of flavor and freshness. While a bit pricey, you are paying for a tasty selection of tacos with about 8 different kinds of proteins to choose from. All made to order - right in front of your eyes. Employees are nice too, and the restaurant has ample seating to enjoy your tacos. Highly recommend the chicken and ground beef for your proteins.

“Decent taco place, there is small seating area inside.”
Decent taco place, there is small seating area inside. I got the tripe and tongue taco and they were good, they have bottles of hot sauce you can add yourself.

“Cilantro is one of my favorite Mexican restaurant chains.”
Cilantro is one of my favorite Mexican restaurant chains. This location was very similar to others I have been to however the hot salsa seemed to be a lot saltier than I have been used to in the past. Overall the chicken burrito was very good. The Elotes were a new item I tried and they were less then my expectations because most of the cup just had normal unseasoned corn throughout with just a squirt of mayo and cheese on the top. One nice thing is the hours are open late on Friday.
