This place is a regular go-to for me. I have a pretty particular order, they take the time to listen and double check that it’s correct. Dozens of orders, and I don’t think they’ve made a mistake once. Love the service and care here. Did I mention the food is also delicious? Love it.

Sooooooooo good. Visited friends and family in Nashville. My good friend, who is Honduran, recommended this place He knows what's up; the food was beyond amazing. Had the Mocajete with chicken, poblano, and tomatillo sauce options. Simply divine. Just the right amount of heat (which I like a lot of) and the flavors didn't compete, but melded and complimented each other wonderfully. The service is extremely friendly. Highly recommend this place.

A local recommended this place for a great Mexican restaurant. The services was very good and the food was excellent. The chips and salsa were very fresh and had a great taste. Then we received the fajitas and they were some of the best we had in a long time at a restaurant. Only negative I would say is drink he got seemed to be a pre made mixed vs a fresh drink mix. Which was a disappointment considering they have a huge drink meau that makes it appear they service many fresh custom made margaritas.

On a balmy Saturday afternoon, I ordered take-out chimichangas from Cilantro, waited 10 minutes while they prepared the meal, and left to enjoy it. While I was in there, I can say that the atmosphere was more Bar-esque than restaurant, being that the lights were dimmed and their decor had more liquor on display; however, I was only in the entryway so take my description with a grain of salt. As for the food, the Salsa was delicious- a perfectly sweet yet flavorful blend that hits the spot. I only wish I could have had so much more of it. I guess I'll have to order more next time! My Chimichangas were wonderful (I got the Chimichangas Especial), with the shrimp probably being my favorite one. The size of the portions were large enough to have leftovers, but it'll be hard to have any with how delicious it is! Overall, if you're looking for some more inexpensive Mexican food in East Nashville, Cilantro is the place to go!

Very excellent dining experience at Cilantro. You'll get slightly better tasting food and cocktails at bartaco, but for the price portions and service, you can't beat Cilantro. We got steak quesidilla, guac and chips, chips and salsa, refried beans, rice, black beans, vegetable fajitas, and two cocktails for under 60 bucks! The food tastes authentic and home cooked. They do have a scratch kitchen, and they make a lot of the food to order. I'm pretty sure our guac was made by hand in the stone bowl that it was served in. I'll def be going back. The portions are super generous, and everything tastes really fresh. The black beans were really good they let the flavor of the beans really shine. They don't have super cool presentation like st anjeo butbthe beans are very good. This is a great place to grab lunch on a budget but still have a great healthy meal. Their cocktails are solid, but nothing crazy. They are all traditional Mexicana riffs on classics. Very balanced, but they don't try to re invent the wheel. I recomend the mango mojito. Travelers should check this place out and locals will love this hidden lunch gem.

Went for national margarita day. We sat at the bar when you enter. Love the atmosphere back there. They were crazy busy around 6 to 630, line out the door! It’s a great little spot.

Really dug this place. Recently opened. Came out in on a Tues around 1230pm and sat at the bar. The Margarita I had is now the best I've had in East Nashville. Got the Speedy Gonzalez lunch special (taco, enchilada, beans) for 6.99. can't beat that. Wasn't too busy, maybe 8 patrons inside. Staff was super cool, very friendly. I'd be back.

Love the vibe and the food. I got Chimichanga special which include shrimps, chicken, and beef. Chicken is my fav. Also they have good margarita! Total 20 I fee like it’s a good deal. Def will come again. Great service too.
