Great tequila program with good cocktails. It's not my first time here but I came here this time to lunch. Here is what I thought: Table side Guacamole is a must especially if you are with a group. The portion is bigger than you think so it's a bit much for 2 people and better for 3+. When they ask if you want it spicy, I personally don't think they go that heavy. If you can handle the heat, spicy really won't knock your socks off. The hamburger is good. Standard and safe. Not much more I need to say about it. Tacos are good and the portion is decent. Not the best I had in the Connecticut and average if you are in the south west. It hits if you miss the flavor profile and really crave it. Hatch Green Chili Stew is really good. Hatch green chili isn't that spicy and gives a Smokey sweeter aroma compared to other peppers. This might be the best thing I had on the menu in terms of food. It was my birthday so I order the Fistful of Dollars for a drink. I enjoyed it for a tequila based cocktail but not sure if I would normally spend that much on a single drink moving forward. Drinks and decor is what makes this restaurant stand out. If you are out on a Friday night or the weekend, I do think this is a great restaurant to get your tequila in because it's one of the best tequila programs I seen in awhile.

Cilantro Fresh Mexican Grill is a fast-casual Mexican-style restaurant that opened in New Haven in…read more2012. It was founded by restaurateur couple Chris Guerra and Sara Holycross. Guerra opened his first restaurant, Dayton Street Apizza, in New Haven in 1998 when he was just 23. The success of the pizzeria was enough for him to open a sister pizzeria, First Street Apizza, in Seymour in 2005. Eventually Guerra decided to purchase the building that Dayton Street Apizza was housed in. For the opposite side, he had originally thought about opening a Chinese restaurant. Then he and his partner Holycross realized that Mexican culture was thriving in New Haven. Many of the kitchen staff at Dayton Street Apizza were of Latino descent and they would frequently heat up their authentic Spanish and Mexican meals in the kitchen. Although fast-casual chains such as Chipotle Mexican Grill or Moe's Southwest Grill were popular, Guerra and Holycross eschewed the assembly line style of food preparation for a traditional made-to-order style of preparation. This meant that their food would be fresher and the menu more nimble. When it opened in 2012, Cilantro was met with much acclaim. Guerra sadly passed away unexpectedly in 2016; Holycross continues to run his three restaurants. My wife and I have been to Cilantro several times and have never been disappointed. When they first opened, my wife and I had recently started dating and she lived in an apartment down the street. We've been fans of their food ever since. We recently stopped there for dinner with our two boys on Cinco de Mayo. Cilantro's take-out business was pretty busy that day, but the dining room wasn't too crowded for sit-down meals. We started off with some of their complimentary chips and salsas as well as a large order of their delicious "Guacamole". For our entrées, I had the "Tostada Salad w/ Steak" (fried flour tortilla shell filled with/ lettuce, black beans, guacamole, sour cream, & pico de gallo), my wife had the "Shrimp Bowl" (fresh grilled shrimp, lime, jack & cheddar, pinto beans, red cabbage, pico de gallo, tangy dressing), our older son had the "Kids Steak Taco" (soft corn tortilla w/ cheddar cheese), and our younger son had the "Kids Chicken Quesadilla". Everything was delicious; super fresh ingredients and all bursting with flavor! Unfortunately, Cilantro does not have a bar: no margaritas for us. However, they do carry bottle beer, wine, and sangria. I enjoyed a cup of "Red Sangria while my wife enjoyed a cup of "White Sangria". I must say that in addition to the excellent food, Cilantro also has excellent staff and service. Overall, we had another very enjoyable experience. The high-quality food and competitive prices here must not be overlooked.

I've been there when it's busy, slow, when I am nice or have RBF, and when I tip big or zero, but the service is always top notch. The food is always served fresh and doesn't taste like it came from a can, and I have never been sick, in fact my gut is always happy when I eat here, unlike eating at Taco Bell. The people there are always nice and the atmosphere is lovely. People need to start leaving reviews when they love a buisness instead of just when they dislike the buisness.
