3 reviews for Cielito Lindo
This is my favorite Mexican restaurant!
It's great on a summer afternoon when the air conditioner is kickin' and we're chompin' on tortilla chips (ask for mild if the salsa is too hot for you) and sippin' on margaritas while waiting for our food. The enchiladas are great. They come with beans and rice. The whole dish is covered with cheese. Yummy!
They have a bar but it's separated from the dining areas (they have two separate dining rooms) I like a table in the back. We can look out into the backyard while we're eating. Dinner costs about 12 dollars per person not including drinks. They even have live mariachi music. I'm sure it's only on Friday and Saturday nights but it's a lot of fun.
The place is what you make of it.
It can be a great place to go for a quite lunch, a festive dinner or even a birthday celebration. It's not a commercial chain restaurant so you get home cooked flavor. I think they have a few locations but this is the one near home so it's my local neighborhood Mexican restaurant and I love it.
This used to be a pretty solid lunch spot to come for good Mexican and Cuban cuisine. Not so much anymore.
Recently, the lunch menu options for Mexican food were cut back (several burrito and steak dishes are gone) and the "yum" quality in my chicken enchilada was definitely lacking. It had this weird, egg like after taste that was not pleasing at all.
Chips and salsa; soup and service are good. I will keep it on my list of lunch places, for now.
The place is packed for lunch, and offers muy rico lunch specials! The portions are huge.
So far, I have had the Arroz Con Pollo and Masas de Puerco. Each lunch special comes with a soup, soda and chips for about $7 to $8 depending on what you order. The chips come with regular salsa, and also a nice extra spicy salsa. I especially liked the taco soup. You should also try the fajitas, which come fresh.
After tax and tips, it is about $11 per person for lunch.
