Cilantro Cocina Mexicana

This crappy taco truck has actually moved to shoreline if you liked being charged extra although their prices are on the wall you should come here also if you enjoy tasteless food.

Terrible! I asked if they could substitute chicken for beef on my burrito and they charged me $ 5 extra for that! They didn’t even told me about it until after they swiped my credit card. I call this robbery!

I was super excited to see a taco truck in the Eastgate area. Visions of tacos danced in my head.
Unfortunately the tacos turned out to have spent a bit too much time in hell. Both the carnitas, and one of my favorite, the lengua, were dry and tasteless. I asked for the hottest green sauce they had… I could have drank it to sooth my throat. Alas, the search for a S. Bellevue taco cart continues.

No longer in Bellevue it is now located on aurora ave north on the 16 500 block in a 76 gas station parking lot.
I ordered a torta It was $ 6.50 it is large it uses a French bread instead of the traditional torta bread They were out of chicken so I had the beef and it was used very very sparingly but the taste is okay.
The taste is good but overall because of the light sprinkling of meat on a Sandwich the cost $ 6.50 I’m not sure if it’s worth a trip back.

I have eaten here many times. Their steak tacos are very good, I also like their burritos and their burrito bowl with the steak. Their salsas are really good, add them to rice and beans because on their own they lack flavor. I like to get a Mexican coke with my order sometimes as a treat. It is close to my house and I come here for lunch on the way home from school because it is on my way, it beats McDonalds and Chipotle is all the way in Crossroads.

I’ve eaten their burrito bowls multiple times now but haven’t actually been to the truck since my husband likes to run down the street and get them for us. :) They are delicious. I was getting tired of Chipotle and the food at Cilantro tastes lighter and less salty.
The salsa are fantastic — the mango is absolutely delicious. The guacamole is also very fresh.
I’m a fan and am delighted to finally discover them so close. Just wish they were open later!

My sons and I stopped at this location to try our hands at some Mexican food from a truck. We are all huge Mexican food fans so were excited to see what kind of flavor combinations would create in us a giddy experience like a teenager with a credit card. Sadly the flavors fell flat.
We ordered all three of their tacos: beef, pork and chicken and then also a been and cheese burrito. None of the meats seemed to be seasoned at all and I’m pretty sure that they weren’t grilled, but probably cooked in a mere frying pan, making the texture of the meat less than desirable.
The good thing about the truck is that there is seating and parking and the ingredients are fresh. I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here again, but I would stop by to see them again if I was in the area to give them a second shot. Very nice staff and took time to help us order and took good care of us.
If you’re in the area, check them out and let me know if I just had a bad day there.

Food was ok. I ordered their burrito grande (or some similar named item), a quite large burrito served wet, w/​chicken, rice, pinto beans and cheese. Total cost was $ 8.50. Honestly, I think the burritos are more tasty at Chipotle (though they don’t have a ‘wet’ option). My burrito wasn’t stuffed with a ton of chicken either. Kinda pricey for a ‘roach coach lunch wagon’. Taste was ok – not bad, but nothing breaking any new ground either. I also thought the Dos Manos burrito at Baja Fresh was better too (unfortunately, Bellevue location closed down).

Quick, cheap and easy. Super convenient to grab a bite to eat and it definitely doesn’t disappoint anytime I’m craving some Mexican food. I love their horchata… YUM!
It’s not the cheapest taco truck I’ve been to, but it’s the only option like it in the area so I won’t complain. I’ll be stopping by again during my lunch break.

I got the tacos combo plate with one chicken one steak and one pork taco. It came out to about six bucks plus tax and it came with rice and beans, but I thought the food was kind of bland, and the tacos were very small, like smaller than my palm.

The fact that I can get good Mexican food right up the street from my work is awesome! Recently moving from SoCal i find myself craving fast and easy «authentic» Mexican food often.
Ok well maybe «authentic» is a stretch, but authentic food truck Mexican anyway. why anyone would go to Taco time when you can hit up these guys is beyond me. The only place in WA i’ve seen a Torta on the menu and its amazing. Recommended to all, I’ll see you there at lunch!

A solid 3 stars since the food is not spectacular, and definitely doesn’t justify the price. Tacos for $ 1.75? Burritos for $ 6.60, before taxes?
This is a typical taco truck. Nothing spectacular and there definitely aren’t the options that you can find at the hipster, fast-​food chain, Tex-​Mex places around. The prices of Seattle trucks are about 25% cheaper, while the established chain stores give you more for the same price.
Not worth a second visit for me, but if you’re an affluent East-​sider looking to slum it a bit with the proletarians; it just might fit the bill.

I’m from California and am very picky about my Mexican food. This truck is hands down some of the best authentic Mexican food in the Bellevue Eastgate area. Their tamales are to die for, the Taco Salad is huge, their pork mango quesadilla — yes please! Go there, get some, today!

This is one of my favorite go to spots for great tasting taco truck food. I love the service and everything I have had I loved! My favorite is the 3 taco plate with great tasting rice and beans. If you haven’t tried it then check it out, you won’t be disappointed.

The food here isn’t terrible, but it’s really bland. No seasoning on the meat at all. There are better taco trucks in Bellevue.

Edit: 2^nd time around
I had the Oaxaca Mole burrito. Tons of flavor, nice sauce if you like mole. It’s a bit sweet for me, but the burrito was very good.
First time: Carne asada burrito
A bit bland. Fresh, clean, nicely made, but not very exciting.
This place is friendly, and the food is fresh and well-​prepared. Lots of folks will love it. It’s the Taco Time of taco trucks – nothing greasy, but not a ton of big flavor. I like my taco carts heavier – street food.

Thank you Cilantro for setting up camp near my workplace!!! Conveniently located right offf of I-​90 where there honestly aren’t many (or any) decent places to eat.
I had the asada tacos, which were delicious and filling. The service is fast, the people working are so freaking nice, and the taco truck is nice and clean!
They also set up some a little tent area so you can sit and eat if you want to, which is definitely more comfortable than trying to eat in your car. Plus, you’ll get to eat the food sooner, and you dont have to wait til you get home or back to the office! yipppeeee!!!

I became a ‘groupy’ of taco trucks after my last trip to Pasco w/​my family. Upon my return to the Eastside, I realized that I did not know where the good taco trucks were in town.
A friend of mine spotted Cylantro while driving on i-​90 and emailed me about it. As soon as I heard it, I brought my family in (including my 13 year old) and we feasted on a great and very affordable Combo taco meal w/​4 different kinds of meats and the always welcomed Horchata.
Jose & Olga (the managers /​maybe owners?) helped us out and were very friendly and helpful. I try to go back as often as I can. You can’t go wrong eating here.

Wow another permanent taco truck on the eastside! I saw this place on my way home and finally got to try it out today. Its located in eastgate, right off i90, in between arco and pizza hut.
They have tacos, burritos, salsa, and more! The taste was excellent, the pork was nice and tender with plenty of flavor. It’s pretty similar to Rancho Bravo with outside seating and puts another truck the eastside on the map for taco trucks!
Tacos and burritos came out fast, but ordering was a bit slow… they must still be working out the kinks. Oh and they take mastercard or visa, so that makes it pretty convenient.
