Cilantro Taco Grill

Everytime i stop at this mexican restaurant its fantastic smiling staff my orders always prompt and the food is so tasty keep up the good work parking is good and if u are in a hurry the drive up always gets your order correct i know you no what im talking about complete. and just what u ordered great service

Yes the tacos are good, but if your planning on eating here you must dine in (& mind you this place is TINY) because the drive thru is a JOKE! First off they now charge for every extra salsa where as if you dine in they have bottle’s of salsa you can serve yourself as much as you want. They purposely give very few salsa’s in drive thru so this way your forced to buy more. Then when you order they always ask which salsa you want so for all you new customers your not given the choice to try them all & theirs 3 different salsa’s. Also you better ask for carrots if you want some because they NEVER offer any! I ordered 3 tacos and a torta and got 2 salsa’s? Too much of a headache & too expensive I’d much rather drive 5min away to Comales and get triple the amount of salsa’s & carrots no questions asked for cheaper price.

Cilantro servers up some damn good tacos.
Like some really damn good tacos.
Great service, good tacos.
I really don’t even know where to start with how good these are.
If you have ever been to mexico, the tortillas are a little smaller. Same concept here. The meat is not dry at all. Perfect amount of cilantro, onions and avocado (that’s how I order mine) They were so great, I didn’t have to use the hotsauce in my bag. *swag* Had to throw in a Beyone line! haha
If you are in the area stop in and appreciate how great tacos can be.

Tacos + drive though? I’m in. I was super hungry after my shift and I stopped by and ordered some carne asada and barbacoa tacos. They were flavorful and delicious with lime juice and salsa! I have driven by this location so many times and I am glad that I finally tried their food. I will definitely be exploring their menu.

My friend went to this place to eat. I had always seen this place because I don’t live to far from it but I never ate here until now. I love there tacos. Packed with flavor.

Love it here!
Quaint corner taco joint, always busy. Food is good.
Close to work. I’m a fan! I go to the other location too in Rosemont.

Horrible!!! I went out in a damn rain storm to taste this dog crap! To say that I didn’t like it is an understatement. I’m sooooo glad I only got 1 steak taco. It was bland & greasy. The red sauce was bottled hot sauce & it was disgusting too. My friend got a burrito and he said his was bland also! Unilocal reviewers steered me incorrectly this time! I’m not sure wth they had, but it damn sure isn’t what they served me 2night. Yeah and ummmm I’m never going back.
Can’t comment on service because I didn’t go in to order & we had take out.

This place was great when it first opened, but now it’s horrible dry steak tacos, guacamole was so bland and the service was horrible. The drive thru doesn’t even work and when I ask the response was so unprofessional…

Awesome steak tacos. Steak was well seasoned with a nice sear on it, giving it that perfect bite for a taco. Nice tortillas and perfect proportions of cilantro and onion. Their green sauce is fantastic and packs a punch, heat-​wise, and the red-​sauce has a great smokiness to it. Will definitely be back many, many times.

Great cesina tacos. I use to drive all the way in the city for great tacos. I’m glad I stop in.

From out of the state and wanted some decent mexican food. Found Cilantro’s on Unilocal and glad I did. A small hole-​in-​the-​wall, but awesome food! Had steak tacos and they were perfect. Would highly recommend.

We tried this place on a whim since we were coming back from O’Hare airport and I loved it! I got a steak burrito a vanilla churro and a chocolate flan cake and they were all delicious! If you’re ever out that way towards O’Hare go ahead and try this place out for good Mexican food!

This place did not impress me. The tortillas are so thick that’s all I feel like I’m eating. They are also a little pricer compared to other taco places I’ve been to. It’s also a little tight in there.

My husband and I stopped here out of the blue and the food was AWESOME! Some of the best tacos I’ve had. Not a lot of room to dine in but the staff was very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back to get our taco fix!

This is a sweet find! Love this place. It is a small, hole-​in-​the-​wall place that most people drive by, but it is great. Not a whole lot of seating in the winter, but they have a nice outside patio for the warmer months. They have a great menu with excellent food. I have the Cilantro Platter which is a Taco, a Tamale and a Quesadilla. You can choose between wheat or corn tortillas, and you can also chose your meat. Comes with Rice & Beans. Under $ 8 for lunch is awesome!
I had the Steak Taco which was simple and yet extremely flavorful. The Chicken Tamale was excellent, and the Quesadilla was fantastic. I even ate all of my rice and beans, which I don’t normally do.
And then there are the three sauces. The red sauce has excellent flavor, but not kick to it. The first green sauce is creamy, and has a bit of a kick. The other green sauce has a good kick, and is also extremely flavorful.
I had a burrito once, and it was huge, dripping, and full of amazing flavor!
They also have pickled veggies on the counter. Carrots, onions and peppers. I love this place!

Cilantro has fantastic fucking tacos, and that’s coming from a Mexican ;)! I had the tacos de Asada and Pastor when I went and absolutely loved them!!! They also have a great selection of salsas.
The environment is very clean and hip. They have room to dine in or outdoors which is really nice. Cilantro’s service is also incredibly quick!!!
Definitely a spot you should check out if you already haven’t!

It was okay. I tried 3 tacos: al pastor, carne asada, and chile relleno. First, the tacos are really small but for $ 1.85 I can’t complain too much. Out of the three I have to say the al pastor was my fav and I’m pretty picky with al pastor. The steak was average and the chile relleno was very small (like a quarter of a chile relleno) and it was also very greasy which made me feel gross. The one thing I did like is that there was not fat on any of the meat which a lot of places tend to leave on.
I would give them another try, they have a pretty extensive menu for a small little corner joint. Place looked clean (I usually don’t go for any joint along Mannheim Rd.) but they had a nice and welcoming sign that lured me in. Also, the staff was friendly which means a lot compared to this other Mexican place I go to.

Flavorless. For real though. I don’t think I’ve ever had such insipid tacos before. I can’t even say it tasted bad, because even «bad» requires taste. So does «good» though.
Props for the pickled cauliflower & carrots they included with the tacos, but that’s not enough incentive to come back. Skip this place. There’s better options in the area.

I first tried their steak tortas which I thought wasn’t too bad. The bread seemed over sized based on the portion, Although I enjoyed the Mexican BBQ taco. i didn’t think much of the ground beef. I know the place is called Cilantro but did they REALLY have to put equal amount of cilantro to meat ratio?
The location is small. After ordering my food I walked outside because people were already eating inside and there was a line.
The air conditioning vent when you walk through was dripping something bad I assume it was the condensation from the cold air hopefully they get that fix.
Although at the time I would have said I can see myself eating here again. Now that Taquerias Atotonilco has opened up two blocks down with same food but better flavor. the only reason why I might come is for the Mexican BBQ taco which I didn’t see on Taquerias Atotonilco menu.

Been here twice and have only ordered tacos which were hands down best tasting tacos around here that I’ve tried. Even the extremely soft taco shells they use appear to be greased up a bit with some taco flavor.
Here is how I rank the type of tacos I’ve tried:
1) Chicken — shredded chicken with unique great tasting flavor
2) Steak — great flavor and no fat
3) Al Pastor — Just the right amount of «al pastor» flavor that is not overwhelming or too little
4) Barbacoa — Juicy & Meaty
