Cocktails were absolutely delicious, my waiter was amazing. One thing about Cielo is the customer service is by far the best ive experience here in Massachusetts. Restaurant is conveniently located off a main road, spacious parking. Again the staff takes the win with quick service, friendly & informative. Cozy ambiance, great for a group night out. Music was low great for conversation. Food presentation was espectacular. A young man with great skill made guacamole from scratch at our table, it was delicious by the way. Drinks guacamole and great ambiance. read more

I was Cielo's tonight! I love the vibe, waitstaff, the margaritas, and food. Definitely a great restaurant in a convenient location.

The food was very good! Service was a bit slow as our waitress had multiple tables inside the restaurant as well as in the outdoor area. The restaurant is very nicely decorated, perfect for dinner if you're looking for something a step up from casual dining. Fried Calamari is a must here! read more

Average place - not authentic. Definitely tex mex. I went with my bf on a Friday night and it was pretty packed but we were able to get a table to walk in. Chips and salsa immediately served. Ordered a California burrito because they didn't do mix and match for their tacos. The burrito itself was massive! There was flavor but nothing stood out so I guess it's better than bland. Surprisingly a good amount of beef in the burrito. My bf ordered Cochina pibil. He didn't really enjoy it that much. Portions were small - usually you get a lot of rice and beans and it was barely anything read more

So today I walked into Cielo with my husband into a restaurant that was almost empty. I sat down at the table while my husband went to the bathroom first. Then I went to the bathroom and my husband sat down at the table. Then we sat for another 10 minutes and still no one had to come to take our drink order or being salsa and chips which normally happens when we come to Cielo. I've been to Cielo many times to the point that I know some of the bartenders by name. After sitting for almost 15 minutes I took my bag and on my way out said I've been sitting here and watched you guys serve two other large tables who came in after us chips and salsa and take drink orders yet no one has managed to even say hello to my husband and I yet. I walked out telling them apparently we are invisible. Of course the apologies came then but In reality I don't want your apologies right now. I want to be treated like a paying customer who deserves service. I have a video review ready to go. I'm giving Cielo a chance to respond to my detailed email video with an appropriate answer. read more

On y way one from the Greek festival y fiancé and I decided to grab dinner along the way. This restaurant was a place that got it right. Friendly service, quit packed and busy! The couple next door to my table left unpleasantly after a few bites even with the server trying to please them but my food was decent. Arroz was bland but the veggie enchilada was missing the corn, which I mentioned and the waitress was attentive to bring it out. The ambiance was loud but busy and close seating. There were tv and bar. I love the delicious margaritas especially the mai tai! read more

Went in on a weekday, one table was occupied and some people at the bar, so I was seated at a table immediately. Service was fast, friendly and just attentive enough. You get complimentary chips and salsa, average but definitely no complaints. I ordered the pineapple habanero margarita - so delicious and actually had a bit of a kick to it! I wasn't super hungry but got a quesadilla and it was huge - like could easily satisfy two people. It was delicious though and I would definitely order again. Definitely recommend this restaurant and will return. read more

I've had this as takeout first but it has been in the back of my mind to dine there. The outdoor is painted with cool art (even a spot with angel wings). The staff is amazing and friendly. The food was tasty. The vibe was chill and cool. Totally love this place. If you're in the area, this is a must try. read more

We had a group of 7 celebrating our Father's 92nd birthday. We called ahead of time to warn them we were coming. They had a table ready for us on arrival even though they were almost completely full.

I have always loved Cielo's but went last night. It was not good. The nachos were covered with stuff I have no clue other than lettuce. The quesadillas were awful and the steak fajitas was such thin pieces of meat. The black beans were watery and nothing came with sour cream let alone quac. Never used to be this way. New cook or cutting back? Very disappointed ! read more

Quality decline has been significant. Note: My initial review was pre-COVID. I know all restaurants have had to make cutbacks in order to endure the pandemic and economic turbulence. I acknowledge and understand that. I have gone back to Cielo's multiple times with different people and ordered takeout as well. The prices have gone up, portion sizes gone down, and overall food quality is now "meh". Not bad but not particularly good either. I won't be going back anymore because I don't think the prices are justified for the amount and quality of food I'm getting. read more

We came here in a whim looking for some good Mexican, ultimately we ordered what we would usually get for mexican, (chicken & chorizo) for both my wife and I, the server Yannis suggested a meal to use that was similar so we went with one of what we normally get and one of what he suggested, our new favorite!! Really appreciate the outgoingness of Yannis guys service is top notch. Honestly didn't see a single cobb webb in the place even the bathrooms were spotless I had to compliment them on that. 10/10 would go back. read more

This is my fourth visit over the last couple years, but first review. Cielo is definitely one of our go-to spots, and we'll keep coming back! This time, my partner and I ordered chicken taquitos, tequila shrimp tacos, steak chimichangas, plus free chips & salsa - TASTE: 4/5 - the queso and crema fresca in the taquitos are soo good, and I liked the marinade and red cabbage in my tacos. Most dishes come w rice and refried black beans, which are both a great, subtle complement to the entree. I wish the free salsa was a little spicier, but love how fresh it tastes TEXTURE: 4/5 - the taquitos are perfectly crunchy, one of the reasons why I always get this app! The steak was tender and love the duo of creamy black beans w a crispy tortilla shell PRICE: 4/5 - I think the prices have slowly gone up, but it's worth it for the food SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - generous portions that definitely fill us up ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - Cielo and its parking lot were packed when I dropped by on a Saturday evening to pick up my takeout. A well-loved local favorite for sure TAKEOUT: 3/5 - one issue that I haven't run into prior here is that, this time, much of our crispy foods were a little soggy, due to the nature of the takeout containers PARKING: 5/5 - they have a huge parking lot w plenty of spaces read more

Great experience with Yanni and the crew per usual! I got the carnitas tacos and it was perfect!!

Yannis is wonderful! Always attentive with service. Food is quick and drinks are delicious!

Always great food, drink and service. Yani is great and always makes sure that we have everything we need including a great experience.

I absolutely love Cielo! The food is consistently amazing, and the service is exceptional. Israel, in particular, is incredibly attentive and always seems to anticipate our every need. read more

We had a great dinner at Cielo tonight. From the fresh guacamole (you have to try this!), to the Cielo dip and margaritas, the food and prices can't be beat. But what keeps us coming back is the service. A special thanks to the manager Israel who always stops by to check in and is never far away if we need anything. read more

Absolutely amazing experience! The margaritas were incredible--perfectly balanced and super refreshing. The food? Very, very good--every bite was full of flavor and clearly made with care. But the real star of the night was Yannis! He's the best--always bringing such good vibes and positive energy that you can't help but have a great time. Can't wait to come back. Highly recommend! read more

Bueno! I've been here several times and never had a bad meal. Like most Mexican restaurants, they serve complimentary chips & salsa upon arrival. I also like to order the cheese dip to go with the tortilla chips. My go-to meal is the chicken tacos. The chicken is always juicy and nicely seasoned. The rice and beans that come with the tacos are sort of bland and leave a bit to be desired. They are good but not great. I've had better but I've also had worse. On my last visit here, my friend ordered the fajitas and they looked delicious. Portion size was huge and she took about half the meal home with her. Overall, this is one of the better Mexican options in the area. Everything always tastes fresh and authentic. I would recommend checking them out! read more

Nice atmosphere, good margaritas & yummy food! The chips are served fresh and warm along with 4 different salsa's to choose from. All good in their own way! The entree's were really good and I loved the fact that you could choose plantains as a side instead of beans! The plantains were SOOO good!! The portions are generous and the prices are more than fair! We started with Margaritas at the bar while we waited for a table... Jalepeno Margarita (Jalapeño infused tequila, fresh jalapeños, lime juice, agave nectar, Tajin rim) Morita Margarita (Fresh blackberries, lime juice, agave nectar) Yucatan Margarita (1800 Coconut, a splash of pineapple juice over our traditional margarita) All the drinks were very good!! I thoroughly enjoyed the Chori Pollo (Grilled Chicken, Chorizo, Pineapple, Queso Dip, Rice & I selected Plantains..Served with 3 Corn or Flour Tortillas) The flavors were amazing! My husband had the Cochinita Pibil (Slowly cooked pork in Achiote Marinade, Black Refried Beans, Rice, pickled Red Onion, Jalapeño, Served with 3 Corn or Flour Tortillas) and he absolutely loved it! We will definitely come back here again the next time we are in the area! Definitely worth checking out!! :) read more

It's a bit small in the restaurant so I was seated in the middle aisle. In the middle aisle there's a small table and two seats across from one another. No place to hang a bag or heavy coat. Very uncomfortable if you're going in the winter time. They gave chips and salsa, both were bland. I ordered calamari-- you can't really mess that up. But even that was bland. Then I ordered fish tacos with a side of guacamole. The waiter asked if I wanted the fish fried or not. I requested for it to be fried. I kid you not-- the fish that came in the taco was like the rectangle shaped frozen fish sticks you get from Walmart for your kids. Literally gross. I looked at my husband like, they can't be serious... The only thing I liked was the guacamole, it was really flavorful. Everything else was gross. My husband and I both didn't finish our food and didn't take it to go. Not sure why so many people say the food is good here. It's not. read more

After that dumpster fire of an eating experience, I honestly wouldn't be surprised to learn that Cielo's kitchen had been overrun by a bunch of chihuahuas who'd drugged all the staff and commandeered the stove with their tiny paws. In fact, that would've been 1,000 times more enjoyable than eating the truly insanely bad slop served to me on a dirty plate last night. Let's start with the chips and salsa. Appreciate that they're free, but holy hell those chips are artificial-tasting and salted into the stratosphere. And the salsa was more like water with bits of tomato in it, like dipping chips into V8. But the real star of the show was the enchiladas tampiquenas. Wow, where to begin? Perhaps the low-quality chicken breast smashed so thin that I could practically see through it when I held it up to the light, smothered in some super-sweet sauce that I think was trying to fool the cool kids into thinking they're at Chipotle, maybe? Things continued downhill with the rice/mush brick (now that's how you cook rice, fellas, til it's just a ball of mush like that!) and the processed refried beans so pulverized out of their solid form that they literally dribbled across the plate like a broken egg yolk. I didn't even know that was possible! And oh God, then the enchiladas themselves. Oh, the clearest sign on the plate that the chef either was actively having a stroke while he or she prepared my dish or that they've simply given up on life. Three raw, hard tortillas wrapped around room-temperate unmelted cheese and literally drowned in a revolting pool of whatever jar of green sauce they're using and some "crema" that had already actively split on the plate. A veritable ocean of green and white agony that just screamed up at me tauntingly, "Aren't you so glad that you're paying for this?!" Unthinkable, unconscionable, inexcusable. I have no idea what y'all are thinking serving food like this with any ounce of pride. Rethink your choices, for the love of all that is holy, please. Maybe the drinks are good, who knows. P.S. To the people here saying that this is the best Mexican on the East Coast: Get f#cked. Travel. See the world. Life is precious and short. read more

We were having a good time until they sat a group of 7 next to us at a table set up for four. As you can see, someone was sitting literally right next to me (black pants; to my left) and another person's chair was almost touching our table. I couldn't enjoy nor finish my main dish because I felt so cramped and uncomfortable. read more

Cielo Mexican Restaurant - a plate of food on a table - Mexican Near Me - Braintree, Massachusetts

Mediocre at best. Even the chips are bad. Las Vallertes in Brockton is half the price but twice as better.

This is the best Mexican on the east coast. (Lived in cali 7 years) their food is authentic and family owed and run. I ordered my favorite morjecete a few times and it was missing cactus Or chorizo I called them and told them. They instantly said we will fix this and have me the next on them. Nothing bad to say about this place. My favorite. Cali burrito,morjecete or I get the pescado Cozumel. With fresco quac. On point 85% of the time and their 15% is still better then 100% of the others. Solid restaurant across the board. 100% positive! read more
