As transplants from the W Coast and New Mexico, we were thrilled to find Cielito so close by. Food is great, artfully prepared and of course excellent. Service is excellent and we always look forward to seeing Christopher. High end, well prepared dishes, well beyond "street food" and highly varied menu. And, they have Pacifico beer, my favorite, discovered by me on a diving trip to La Paz, Baja California Sur. read more

My friend and I came in for lunch a little after 1:00. We were seated quickly. We sat for awhile with no one addressing us. Finally the same waiter which seated us came and took our drink orders. No chips and salsa. We asked for chips and salsa and he finally bought them over. We ordered Nachos with chicken. When they were brought out to us, they were like a glob of a mess with no chicken. Very disappointing! We used to enjoy coming here but it has certainly gone down hill. I do not recommend! read more

Went early evening today & host said about 10 min. Waited for awhile, big party came in after us & he seated them first. Not excusable. Young guy don't know his name. read more

The most authentic and delicious Mexican restaurant I have eaten in since I was a child in San Diego. Christopher and Angel were amazing. Will drive the hour trip to come back. Wonderful people and delicious food. Don't hesitate to stop in. You won't regret it. read more

Cielito Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Bristol, New Hampshire

What a delightful lunch. It's hard to find a Mexican restaurant up here in the northern part of New England. It's even harder when the restaurant is of such high quality. And rarest of all, staffed by Mexicans. A perfect culinary trifecta A step away from the beautiful Bristol center, with plenty of parking. Service is flawless. Our waiter was especially congenial as he is a veteran of the Mexican military and I am a U.S. Armed Forces veteran and was involved in diplomatic military affairs with Mexico and other Latin American countries, so we clicked. And besides, his demeanor was an example of what a service person should be. The ambiance was superb. People smiling and enjoying a gorgeous Fall afternoon. A bit too cool to enjoy the ample outside seating but inside was nice and cozy. The extensive menu has numerous selections. I had the Tacos Al Pastor and they were delicious. The presentation was awesome. The plate came with frijoles refritos, maduros and Mexican style rice. One of the best Mexican food experiences in New England. read more

Last night we were there with Four new people to share our previous great experience with this restaurant, unfortunately I can't say that our usual experience was anything but terrible. Lost our order, food not written down correctly, waited 40 minutes for a waiter to come to table to take order, then order never placed. Some in party never received food when the others did. Had they offered a comp meal would have been a life safer. Need to get their service grounded. It might be a while before I try again with friends read more

The food is great and Chris was incredible. I have never seen someone so happy working.

Returning diner. Arrived at 5:30 p.m. on a Saturday. Choice of tables. Ordered beverages that arrived promptly. Nachos and salsa placed on table. Ordered a jicama salad and burrito. Asked several times about our order, after seeing others who arrived after us being served. Finally, after an hour and a half, dinner arrived. My salad lacked an ingredient mentioned on the menu. Server brought over the missing ingredient. By the time we ate, our drinks were watered down. No way was I guzzling down my drink before eating something substantial. Food was good, but waiting that long to be served was disappointing. read more

Hot freshly cooked chips with fresh salsa, tamales, fresh table-made guacamole (somehow the best I've ever had), tacos with shrimp and avocado and companion had tacos asada with flavorful sauteed beef, deliciously refreshing fruit drinks (nonalcoholic version of rum cocktails), churros perfectly cooked. Sat outdoors on a perfect summer night. Wait staff was lovely. Couldn't have been better! read more

Food was delicious! I had the Bollywood Burrito, which was filled with veggies. My husband had chipotle shrimp, which he really liked. I also ordered fries which were good, but I thought could have used salt (there wasn't any on the table.). They were still tasty. It was pretty busy, and the servers seemed to be on top of everything! Definitely recommend eating here. For vegetarians, they have a few vegetarian options! read more

I had high hopes for a great experience today, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. I went at 2:30p, and there were only a few customers there. I waited almost 10 min at the hostess stand for someone to even acknowledge me, and finally sat down. The server came by after another 10min with the menu, and after maybe two min he asked if I was ready to order. I was never offered water, and I watched another server come out of the kitchen and sit at a table near me with his Dunks coffee. However, a family came in that must have been "regulars", bc they were treated like royalty immediately. During my meal, there were multiple flies I had to constantly bat away from my food. I will never be back. So disappointed. La Familia has finally surpassed them 10 fold! read more

Great food and drinks. The staff were all amazing. Very clean facility. Their calamari is a must try. We let an elderly patron try ours since she was on the fence and she ordered it for her table as well. It was a great place Ina cute downtown area. It provides in and outdoors seating. We all enjoyed our meals. I had the carne asada tacos with the corn tortilla option. You can opt for flour ones. I tasted the chorizo burger and it was awesome. Sorry we didn't get a pic of the calamari. It went very fast lol. The salsa tasted great, the food is all great and the drinks are amazing. Definitely try the spiked horchata! I'd drive far to eat there again. read more

Visited on a weekday evening off season for the area. We sat at the bar but only after waiting uncomfortably at the entry for one of two people working the dining room. Service was lacking a bit throughout the meal. Salsa and Chips were delivered promptly and the salsa had good taste, unexpectedly a little less spicy than I would have expected. Food was fresh and with a lot of taste. We had Fajitas and Chimichangas. Drinks were surprisingly good. The bar was almost empty and the server was doing double duty as a bartender and waiter. The restaurant was clean and modern. read more

Authentic. Efficient. Flavorful. Cielito is a small space off the beaten path with great service and affordable food. It's also, hands down, the best Mexican restaurant north of Concord. Mole poblano is the perfect Belen's of sweet and rich, a digestible chocolate party for your mouth. Drinks are under $10 each and served up fast. Guacamole served up table side and for a reasonable $11 for an ample size you'd pay easily $15 or more farther south. Interior ambiance is lively but not overwhelming. Traffic busy, but not overbearing. Service friendly, but not overwhelming. All in all a great dining experience, for those liking to take a road less traveled for a great meal. read more

I came here after a day of climbing at Rumney VT, I ordered a steak torta and it was awesome. I loved its flavor and I was truly satisfied A friend of mine ordered extra green peppers and we got charged extra $ 2 for them without first letting us know that it would be extra charges for them. They should have let us known ahead of time that there would be extra charges involved. We let the server know This place was very generous for the chips and sauces. They were delicious and fresh Definitely good place to come for dinner after a workout :) read more

My wife and I stumbled across this place while we were looking for a place to eat. We didn't really know the area. The restaurant is kind of small and not much Mexican restaurant ambiance to speak of, but the food was terrific and the service was outstanding. We'll be back next time we are in the area. read more

In my opinion the best Mexican food in New Hampshire. Everything is fresh, flavorful and the service is excellent. Cannot recommend them enough! read more

So glad to have this in Bristol! The typical Mexican options are quite good and their habanero hot sauce is great

This place is small and off the beaten path but a great find. We came in as a party of 2 around 7:30 on a Saturday, we were quoted 10mins wait, but it was closer to 30mins. It's small, and a local crowd people didn't seem to be in a rush to wrap up their evenings despite people waiting for tables. The tables are all high tops. Tough if you have a disability and cannot get up on the seats. Not sure if they have other accommodations, if this affects you, I'd call and ask. The food was good. Table side guacamole was plentiful. To me it needed salt and didn't need the tomatoes and as much lime.. but it was still decent. Chips are served warm. Taquito appetizer was my favorite that we ordered. So delicious. I also got the carne asada which was cooked perfectly. Check it out if you're in the area! read more

I should have taken a picture but I was too hungry. My former company has an office right next to this place. I'd tried their food before and was ok with the quality. This is New Hampshire and is not known for quality Mexican food. But my last meal there was atrocious. I ordered the Diablo shrimp: the only meal with two chili's next to it, Indicating very spicy. I got around 9 Shrimp in a lukewarm habanero sauce. Spicy? Barely. Small sad lump of Spanish rice next to it. No beans. They don't make their own chips which is shocking for a place claiming to be Mexican food. They gave me a bag of incredibly stale corn chips. Not even edible. This dish was $20 after taxes. Will never be back. read more

Great lunch experience. Ordered enchiladas and they were unique but flavors of green sauce and pork topping was amazing. Friend had a burrito and it was two meals. Service great. It's plain looking but pleasing read more

Incredible Mexican food! Excellent service and ambiance! Their burritos are enormous and delicious! We also love their taquitos!

Pretty delicious Mexican food, continues to be one of the best restaurants in the area.

Salad way too small ridiculous Guacamole was excellent though Salad dressing not good read more

Been here a handful of times now, this is by far the best Mexican in the lakes region. I have to drive from Meredith to get here but I'm not mad about it. Maybe you're lucky and live nearby, Maybe you just spend the day at profile falls down the street, whatever your luck congratulations. I've had many apps, table side guacamole, numerous entrees and they nailed every single one of them. They also remembered me each time I've been back which I appreciated. The drinks are cold, made fresh and place is spotless. The service has been great each time, at the bar a few times and at a high top the others. Look if it's the summer and you have to wait, I'm telling its absofuckinglutely worth doing so. Yes there's 2 other good places in the lakes region but this one is a step above each of them. Photos to follow next time, just wanted to get this out here for the people who are around after Labor Day and in the dead of winter my favorite time... read more

food is alright, atmosphere is par for the area. thing that jags me off the most is my wife and I called a combined 14 times over the span of 2 hours an never were picked up. would be great if they figured that out or their online service. read more

The food and service were fantastic, very friendly staff, attire is casual and comfortable.

Ever since the ownership change, the food quality has declined. The ingredients simple are not the same.

We had a great time. Our server, Robin, was attentive and friendly. The food was incredible, we had multiple dishes. I recommend the burritos and fajitas. The churros dessert with the black raspberry ice-cream is a must have. We will definitely be back. read more

Decided to stop by for dinner while in the area on a trip for a few days as it was close by and had later hours. A last minute decision and choice turned out to be well made. Staff were friendly and checked in to make sure I had everything I needed. I spoke to and had a conversation with Pedro, who if I remember correctly, is the manager. His smile never left his face and his positive energy was contagious. He gave me recommendations for food and drinks that I ended up enjoying. It was such a great experience that I returned again the next night. read more

In the middle of nowhere in NH, sits this AMAZING restaurant! Quite honestly, some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. Their salsa was absolutely fresh and delicious, as where their chips. We got the calamari for an appetizer, and man, was that good! My boyfriend had a shrimp burrito, and it was HUGE & flavorful. I got the shrimp fajitas, which were amazing! It came with rice & beans, which were absolutely delish! We both had their red sangria- I wish I had their recipe... it was SO good! Both the dining room and the bathroom were nice and clean, which makes me a very happy woman! The staff were very friendly, and the decor of the bathroom was absolutely adorable. If I had anything negative to say about this place, it would be that the woman working there was cutting up fresh fruit without wearing gloves- no bueno! Everyone on staff were wearing masks, so that made me feel comfortable! If you happen to be in that area, check this place out- you won't regret it! read more

Weak attempt at Mexican food. I'll likely try again but living with true Mexican food in the past 30 years, this place really only provides a New England taste and selection experience. read more

One of the best, Mexican restaurants I have been to in a long time. The food was fresh and distinctively Mexican. The service was excellent and the ambience was just as pleasant as you could want in a restaurant. read more

Got the caipirinha, fresh guacamole, and Camarones a la diabla. All were freshly made, used classic ingredients, and there was flair in the composition. I got the hot menu item, which is always a risk, but I was awarded with a rich, assertive dish that awakened my senses. Love it! read more

Best Mexican Food I have had In long time.Excellent service and friendly staff.Fantastic Margaritas too!

The absolute BEST chicken taquitos and Mexican food. These taquitos were cooked to perfection, light, and FULL of flavor. We almost wanted to order more for dessert they were so good! We were simply in town visiting and checked this place out. The food was great and the service was even better! Everyone was so nice and made sure we were good. The jalapeño margarita was also very very scrumptious. Can't wait to come back next time we're in town read more
