CilantroMex

I normally have no problems at this location. Today, I ordered my burrito and the girl put salsa on. As she was doing it I corrected her because I didn’t want salsa and said no when asked. She argued with me about it while she proceeded to pick off the salsa bits. I would have preferred she make it fresh. What if I had been allergic?

This place is like chipotle but without the food poisoning scare. My friend had a groupon so we had to check it out. It’s almost like a subway where the ingredients are all laid out for you to choose from. The staff is very friendly and helpful which is great since all these choices can be overwhelming. They have everything. Pulled pork chicken beef. Brown rice white rice. A plethora of toppings to make anyone happy. I got a burrito and it was amazing the amount of food they crammed in there. Folding these things is clearly an art and they have it mastered. Pricewise we had a bag of chips and two burritos and it was about 20 $ which I find reasonable. The food was quite delicious and filling too. If your looking for a quick alternative to Taco Bell this is a great Option. Fresh and fast and delicious.

So many choices!!! I have been to their competition and CilantroMex has amazing meats and fish. You can chose between 4 different flavored wraps, condiments, and beans. I have no idea how they wrap these enormous burritos but they do! If you love burritos I would definately check this place out just for variety alone. We got half chicken, half spicy chicken and one shrimp burrito. The chips and guacamole were excellent and they were on Groupon so the price was very reasonable. Great place for a low key cafeteria style dining and they serve some bottled beers as well.

Went in a few weeks ago… really wanted Greek or middle eastern food but fuck it, wasnt trying to drive to the East Side on a Friday at 6:00pm because of traffic. Friend suggested this place, ive been to the one on Weybosset several times, nothing impressive but certaintly sufficient enough. I walked in, place was empty and fully staffed. I walked to the counter and it was absolutely covered in food. Spillage all over the counter… everything in my being told me to walk the eff out… but I was sooooo hungry :(I went with the burrito bowl with barbacoa? Chicken, no rice (hate rice in my bowls) beans, and all the other fixings… came to a whopping $ 9 and change with no drink… it looked awful. I took a bite, the chicken was cold, hard and seemed fucking processed in a damn GMO lab. I scooped a mouthful of guac and in a PMS filled rage thru the entire bowl out of the car window… never. ever… ever again.

I’m obsessed with this place! the supreme Nachos are the way to go and the fact that Tuedays is college night (buy 1 burrito, get one free)

I wasn’t impressed with the food. It’s a complete copy-​cat of Chipotle, but with less flavor in my opinion. I also thought the food wasn’t completely fresh; I was the first one to arrive when it opened today, and all the ingredients were lukewarm (sour cream and lettuce shouldn’t taste like they’ve been left out of the fridge all day at only 11 AM).
The people working there were wonderful, but if you go in expecting it to measure up to Chipotle, you’re sadly mistaken.

Edible, not the greatest. Portions are large, food mediocre. Tastes like what it is, chain restaurant food. The chips were decent. I’d say if you are starving it’s okay, otherwise venture a bit out of your way and go to One More Taco.

Love this place. Great soft & hard tacos and quesadillas. Meat is seasoned well. Got a little kick but just the right amount!

Hit or miss with this location. I order the same thing burrito and queso with chips. The chips last week were greasy and stale. Def not fresh, the queso was cold and clumpy. The chicken in the burrito was fatty and nasty. I hate ordering to go and getting home and being served crap. It’s really disappointing.

So, maybe my mistake was ordering online to pick up, but hey, what is the point of such service if you aren’t going to bother following the order?
My veggie burrito belly was missing black beans (sort of essential when you’re not having meat), the peppers and onions were raw (I was making the assumption that they would be grilled fajita style), and they failed to put sour cream on it as well. Somehow I ended up with random pieces of corn in it too, which, sort of bothered me.
Unfortunately they food is not seasoned as well as Chipotle, and next time I’ll make the drive into Smithfield to get a burrito bowl that will be built completely

The poor mans Chipolte without much (if any) price reduction. Not bad when your in a pinch and really want a big-​ass burrito.

This is a staple for me. I don’t go to Chipotle or any other similar joint. This one has bigger portions, more choices, and overall tastier food. The guac and adobo steak are my favorite. The staff can be really great or sometimes a bit impersonal if they’re in a rush. They do always seem to care about doing a good job, though. I love that new options are continuously being added to the menu and that Tuesdays are bogo nights for students, which is an amazing deal!

After working at Chipotle for two years, I really understand this type of restaurant. I was really excited to dig some Tex-​Mex/​Mexican style food to remind me of home. In the end this wound up reminding me more of a low-​quality Chipotle.
Generally, it’s all the same stuff. The rice and beans were really good along with the steak which was nice and juicy. The portions were very large and very generous which lent well to a big, hungry stomach. They had a TV on playing the Louisville v. Rutgers game which was nice.
The queso was not on the mark. It was very grainy like the cheese had been pre-​shredded and then did not melt all the way and seemed to be scrapping the bottom of the container. It did not have very good flavor.
The décor and the overall feel of the place was very dark and dank. Felt dungeon-​y. To go along with it, the employees were really not in a conversational mood and felt very frustrated. The guy who served us, however, was a nice guy.
Overall, the food was good enough to eat, but I wouldn’t really go out of my way to get it. It’s really too bad there’s not a closer Chipotle.

I am usually not one to complain but I am very upset at the service I received here. I called a location that I frequent at least once a week to get a burrito for my pregnant wife or lunch for myself, I was informed that the store was open until 11pm so I left my house and when I arrived I saw that the store was closed. I called the store again to see if I was misinformed, I was treated rudely and hung up on. I emailed the manager of the restaurant and received a very generic apology and an offer for a coupon. Since then I never heard back and still no coupons after 3 attempts to reach the manager. I have been to the restaurant one more time since then to give it another shot and saw the same lack of professionalism and attitude. These past experiences have been enough to discourage me from returning. Good thing there is now a Chipotle in the Smithfield Crossings.

Went there last week for the first time with some friends from work. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. Great lunch.

Decent food, very inexpensive. Not the most intelligent staff but oh well they’re juyst making burritos not curing cancer. Other reviewers said it was dirty. I haven’t experienced this yet but I mostly stop by during the week so maybe it’s not so busy and easier to keep up with. I have never had a bad experience.

I have been a customer of Cilantro for many years. Put up with filthy bathrooms, dirty tables and floors and ever diminishing portions of meat. Tonight’s experience tops anything I have EVER experienced even in a low end place like this. When I asked the server to pay attention and stop putting things I did not ask for, she exploded with an attitude accusing me of verbal abuses and physical treats during my previous visit .
Total nonsense… I does not end there … they actually called the police while I was eating and completely distorted what actually took place, therefore, actually filed a fraudulent police report. Well, in THIS country it is illegal to do so. When I’m in the mood for mexican food I don’t necessarily want Latino attitude from underpaid, ignorant and angry workers.

Cilantro’s is one of the few places where I actually prefer getting take-​out or delivery. Visiting this location itself doesn’t quite do it for me. I’ve ordered delivery a handful of times, they have online and fax ordering that help make the process super easy. The delivery is always on time and the driver always pleasant.
I’ve been inside for a quick dinner once to use a group-​on deal. The place was very dirty, all the tables and floors had crumbs and just did not feel clean. It was disappointing and lowered my opinion of the place a bit.
I opted for a steak burrito and they filled a tiny little sauce cup with steak, my burrito probably had four or five small pieces of steak in the entire thing. Opt for the extra meat, the 2 bucks is worth it.
On the bright side, the workers were very nice and personable. One of the girls heard me say I would rather take the food home because the tables were dirty. She apologized and wiped down one of the tables for me. She also was very helpful with the group-​on and helped me get the most food for the coupon amount.
I’m a big fan of the burrito craze but I’ve had better. I’ll keep ordering from this location because it is close enough to deliver to my work but if I’m already out and about I’ll probably go elsewhere.

It’s a great ‘build your own burrito’ place. The ingredients are always fresh and there never seems to be much of a line. I’ve been a few times and the employees are friendly.
I like to try new concoctions. which I feel is encouraged in a ‘build your own’ environment. The possibilities are endless. The portions are HUGE also. For less than $ 10 you get three meals worth of food.

$ 7 bucks for a burrito with half cooked rice, and relatively flavorless meats (the pork, & chicken anyway).
Sure, the burritos were as big as a baby’s head, but unless your only goal is to stuff your belly with barely mediocre eats, you might do better elsewhere.
