Today was my first time dining at Cielita Mexican Flavors and several people at the Omni Hotel next door recommended it. I had Pork Secreto medium well and it is probably the Beat meal I have had in a very long time. Incredible flavors and cooked to perfection. When I come back to visit Irving, TX, this will definitely be a must stop! The staff like Marianna is so knowledgeable and friendly. It's just the Best! Thank you! read more

Great service! Beautiful ambiance. They have cafe de olla which is hard to find these days. read more

Most people at our table did not enjoy their food and considered it bland. I was hoping for it to be good because it's in my neighborhood. However, I was underwhelmed and don't see myself returning. However you mess up tortilla soup is beyond me read more

Cielito Mexican Flavors is a Mexican (not Tex Mex) restaurant that serves true Mexican dishes in the heart of Irving Las Colinas. This restaurant is a great place to visit if you're interested in having modern Mexican cuisine with a fantastic atmosphere and service. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - You'll find Cielito tucked into a corner in Irving-Las Colinas. This clean, beautiful restaurant features a full bar, private dining rooms, and plenty of tables. The best features are the floor to ceiling windows which allow plenty of natural light in while also letting you people watch. The restaurant was mostly full on my Wednesday evening visit and had plenty of energy. 1 Star. Service - Our server was very nice. She was attentive, checked in multiple times, and always kept our drinks full. I didn't ask about the menu, so I can't comment on what she would have recommended, but overall, the staff was always smiling and great overall. 1 Star. Food - Our server brought out a nice, warm bowl of tortilla chips and red salsa. The chips were crispy, lightly salted, and were a great start to my meal. I then went with the Queso Fundito. The Oaxaca cheese was served in a hot pan, and the cheese was super stringy. I'm talking NY Style pizza string cheese. I had to use my knife to cut the cheese and wrapped it around warm tortillas to make my own mini enchiladas. For my main dish, I went with Cheese Enchilada Roja. Smothered in Salsa Roja, but the red onions were a bit tart for me. My meal ended with a chocolate Tres Leches cake. The cake was moist, but the star was the chocolate leches bath the cake sat it, soaking up the flavors and creating a sweet bite. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. Wow, I was amazed at the modern Mexican atmosphere and menu. I'm so happy Cielitos has opened in Irving-Las Colinas. Welcome to my restaurant rotation. 1 Star. read more

Really enjoyed the food here! Quality and quantity were no issue. The chicharrones with the guac was *chefs kiss*. The waitress suggested the enfrijoladas and they didn't disappoint! The beans were perfectly seasoned and balanced the meal well. read more

I ordered the cheese fondue, the cheese was too thick to really enjoy it. Maybe if it was melted more it would have been better on the tortillas wraps. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice and spacious. Service was okay the waitress could have been more attentive. We were missing one of our food ordered for 10 mins and had to get up and track down the waitress. The restaurant had a total of 10 people so it wasn't too busy. read more

Beautiful restaurant however food and service unfortunately not so great. I went here with my family and it was only us at the restaurant and still took a bit for our food to arrive. The food was also is not great as far as quality and texture. I believe I had gotten the shrimp tacos and the flavor was not amazing. read more

This was my first stop off the plane. Sofia was such a sweet welcome to Texas. The service was attentive and quick, perfect for hungry travelers. The menu offers a lot of options, including weekend brunch before 3pm on weekends. $7 mimosas=win! read more

Our group of ~40 people celebrated a friend's birthday here last weekend. We were able to park in the garage behind the restaurant and that came in handy since the weather was inclement. When we arrived we were greeted and shown where out party was to be seated - on the right side of the restaurant. They do have an enclosed area that I'm told seats just over 30 but our crew was too large for that obviously. The tables were arranged in a U-pattern and each place was set nicely. The food we had was delicious, fresh, and plentiful. I had chicken burritos with mole sauce on top and it was quite satisfying. The servers were attentive and nice. All in all, we had a very nice experience here and I would come back here with a smaller group to get a more typical dining experience. read more

I think it is absolutely ridiculous that I have passed by this place a dozen times and never tried it. I have been missing out! This is exquisite food from Mexico. Noticed I didn't say Mexican food because I think people would tend to stereotype that you're going to get some Tex-Mex queso with brisket tacos. You're not. You're gonna get great regional specialties from the Mexican state of Puebla and the Gulf Coast of Veracruz and the Yucatán. We loved the Romaine heart Caesar salad with homemade croutons the original Caesar dressing recipe from Tijuana... Yes, check your history books, the Caesar salad is from Tijuana, Mexico. We also had the mole - wow! - and the cochinita pibil which was an amazing flavor burst with the marinated, shredded pork. You can't go wrong with any of those dishes. Omar, the owner, was very nice and came to our table explaining some of the dishes and the service was great. Parking is plentiful in the garage behind the restaurant. A++ read more

This is a true hidden gem in Las Colinas! If you're considering trying it out, you better go because this is a must. The dishes are true authentic Mexican cuisine. You can't go wrong with any of them. The staff is friendly and very polite. We went during the weekend for lunch Saturday and Sunday (yes, it was worth it!) and it wasn't crowded at all. It's spacious and not loud. We look forward to visiting Cielito again next time we are in Dallas. read more

We really enjoyed our time at this restaurant over the weekend! We had a big party (24 people) that we reserved for, and despite our booking not getting processed on their end, they quickly prepared their private room for us so we didn't have to wait. We had some elderly people, kids, and a host of cultural backgrounds within our party which can make serving a bit challenging and certainly tiresome. However, our servers were patient, upbeat, catered to everyone's requests, and went above and beyond to take great care of us. The food was DELICIOUS!! Their salsa, homemade chips, and ceviche are definitely worth noting!! I'll definitely come back and recommend to friends! Thank you!!! read more

This spot is delicious! The space is tastefully decorated and has lots of lovely natural lighting. We had speedy and attentive service the whole way through. We walked in on a Sunday afternoon and there was no wait. We got the red salsa and frijoles enchiladas with cheese and chicken and they were AMAZING!! The charro beans and rice that came with them were really really good too. The old fashioned was delightful , even though we weren't really old fashioned type of ppl. Wonderful experience all around!! 12/10 read more

We stopped by during an off-hour around 3 PM with my two kids, and it turned out to be the perfect time to enjoy an amazing meal without the rush. We ordered the birria tacos with corn tortillas, and wow, they were absolutely delicious! The meat was tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The street corn came as three small corn cobs sprinkled with cheese and a tangy sauce such a fun twist on a classic. We also started with the guacamole, which was extra special thanks to the red onions and crispy pork rinds served alongside. My kids shared a chicken quesadilla, and it was the perfect portion for them simple, cheesy, and fresh. The service was wonderful: fast, attentive, and super accommodating with the kids. Even the bathrooms were spotless, which, as any parent knows, earns bonus points! The whole restaurant had a warm, welcoming vibe, relaxed but still stylish. We'll definitely be back, next time I'm trying the margaritas! read more

While the food was mostly good, it was nothing special. For the prices, the food should have been better. The tortilla soup was the worst I have ever had. They mix some kind of tomato paste and some random ingredients right in front of you. Completely missed the mark as far as flavor is concerned. Their mole sauce w chicken was delicious. Service was average. Looks cute on the inside read more

This place was surprisingly good ! Mexican restaurants are not my favorite but this one was great - we had a team dinner here : the old fashioned were very good , we also shared some appetizers (nothing too fancy ) and I got the red snapper which was very good - well cooked with a lot of crispness and nice tomato dish all over it . We also got the Mexican rose cake for dessert which was not great read more

We took a large party here for a birthday celebration! The decor and ambiance is very nice and the decor is simple. It's right next to the parking garage and that really matters to me for some reason. The food was good! It didn't blow me away, but it was good! I think what was really lackluster was the service. The host was wonderful and kind, but our waitress was very quiet and very inattentive. She never gave us her name and she came by rarely. Since it was a birthday, we had a cake. Usually the staff would help in making room by storing it or offering to cut it or simply finding a place for it, but that didn't happen. Our table was extremely crowded and it was not acknowledged. I get it though, this might be a bratty complaint and WE brought the cake so WE should've planned something on that end, which I can accept. It was just not what I normally experience. We hardly got our water refilled and we had to ask the waitress a few times for simple items like salt or extra salsa. It was also weird because she just completely ignored the birthday aspect. When we cut cake she came by with a few extra plates but we had to literally cross the restaurant to find someone to give us forks. Just odd. I don't know if the service is what's going to keep me from coming back, but it might given that there are many good Tex Mex options around. read more

All the food was BLAND, no flavor, not even the salsa, if you even want to call it that... it's like plain tomato sauce. I ate the Braised Beef Birria The menu says this... Braised Beef Birria $23.00 Tender braised beef infused with flavorful ingredients, topped with cilantro, and onions. Served with our handmade tortillas for a satisfying meal! But I think the "chef" forgot the "infused with flavorful ingredients" cause it has ZERO flavor and the tortillas are NOT handmade... I'm Mexican so I know homemade/handmade tortillas! I also ordered guacamole, also ZERO flavor! And charro beans, also ZERO flavor! All the food is overpriced. I wish the owners would read these reviews and fix these issues immediately cause I've read multiple ones similar to mine as far back as a year ago. This place could be great if they fix the "chef" issue! The waiters need to improve their service too. This is a beautiful restaurant, ambiance, etc but you better fix these problems ASAP if you want to improve, unless you're too proud to make any changes. read more

The atmosphere, service, people, location, food, drinks - all chefs kiss. We stopped in here while visiting the area and it's an upscale Mexican restaurant. The menu features a few standard Mexican options but they're elevated with fun twists. The 'chips' and guac are amazing. The guac comes with pork rinds and the 'chips' are more like pita crackers and SO addictive. I had a cucumber margarita and it was so good that I got another. The people at the bar with us were regulars and raving about the drinks they have. For dinner I had the grilled vegetables with goat cheese. Nothing Mexican about them. Just delicious roasted veggies and goat cheese - plenty to be someone's meal. It wasn't packed on a Friday night. Plenty of parking along the road and we easily grabbed a spot at the bar. It's situated right next to the little lake and in a great walkable location. The service was awesome and super quick. 10/10 and will be back! read more

Took my mom here a little while ago for lunch and it was great. We both said it smelled awesome the second we walked in, and the food didn't disappoint. Our server Sofia was wonderful and took great care of us, too. Definitely going back. read more

Food quality was average, expected much better. Table service was average. Phone was not receiving calls for at least a week. Check-in and managers less than average. Had two small issues that are still not resolved from July 8, three weeks ago. I do not recommend. read more

The atmosphere has a nice modern vibe to it. The food and drinks are quality. Our server was good but he seemed a little pre occupied. read more

Relaxing, chill place with great service and excellent food choices. I highly recommend the street corn! We will be back.

On a Friday night, we expected this place to be busy, but it was so quiet, which was amazing! The inside of the restaurant is well organized, and I loved the greeter who helped us when we entered the restaurant. We were able to be helped rather quickly, and she explained the menu well. The menu is simple and not overwhelming. We were given chips and salsa, which were homemade as soon as we placed our order. The chips were really hard so I couldn't eat them and the salsa was okay. I ordered the chicken enchiladas with bean sauce. Chicken was bland so I had to add a lot of salsa for flavor. Beans and rice were really good though! The best part of our dinner was the chocolate tres leches cake which was soooo good! The server poured a chocolate sauce over it right before we ate it. YUM! Great place and good food! read more

Food was delicious. The chicken enmoladas were my favorite, tasty and plentiful. The guacamole freshly made and delicious, served with chicharrón instead of chips, which I actually prefer. I also, had the nopal salad.....hands down best I had! Service was wonderful, the lovely young lady who attended to us was very sweet and respectful, made sure we were well taken care of. Can't wait to come back! read more

One highlight: our waiter was a dead ringer for comedian Kevin Hart. Otherwise, not good food. I had to look around and ask for everything--water, reheat my enchiladas that arrived cold with unmelted cheese. They weren't improved either. Just not good. Overpriced. Tourist trap located next door to the Omni. Don't go here. This is not authentic Mexican. It's foo foo overpriced fancy something. The back of the menu revealed actual tacos, nachos, enchiladas with the rest being overpriced steaks etc. Two thumbs down. read more

Stopped in for lunch, wonderful experience. Our server Sarah absolutely made our day, definitely ask for her! I got the limoncello cocktail and boyfriend got the summer in Jalisco. Both were very balanced, not too strong or overly sweet. 3 salsas are provided: Verde was so yummy with the not too thin chips! The chicken nachos were fairly priced for how large of a serving, and the flavors all exploded in my mouth! Can't wait to return and try more items and I was told they are working on getting a patio cleared. Side note: very cute interior for a date night and bathroom was super clean. read more

Authentic Delicious Mexican food! We got the Queso Fundido made of Panela Oaxaca cheese with pork chorizo for appetizers. Simple but very delicious, you can tell it's made from real and not processed cheese. I highly recommend the Conchinita Pibil (Roasted Pork) which was amazing, so flavorful and the meat was very tender. My boyfriend got the Cielito Chicken Enchiladas which was also very good and tasty. Tried the award winning dessert Rosa Mexicana and it didn't disappoint, it wasn't overly sweet that made you want to stop eating after only a couple of bites. Service was great, Karla recommended a great drink La Picosa. She was very attentive as the rest of the waitstaff. To add, ambiance is great, interior of the restaurant is nicely decorated. Will definitely comeback and try the other foods and drinks. The Birria and House Margarita were recommended for next time by the owners who were very friendly. read more

Super expensive and extremely average. No way two people should pay 80 bucks for two meals and two margs. Rice and beans are cheap and should never cost 4 bucks to add. Cool eclectic vibe was extinguished quickly by extreme high prices and flavorless entrees. Sangria margs were good but should be 4.99 instead of 9 dollars. Could not detect any tequila at all. A beer and 30 bucks at Taco Bell would beat this by a bunch. Especially 50 bucks more. Waitress did great tho. read more
