It was my first visit to this restaurant. My first impression. Dark, dreary, dungeon like. I believe lighting, vibe, decor, and music to be just as important as the food. I look for a certain charm of the place for it to be a memorable experience. There was no music. Staff play another important part. I found them to be not friendly. All walked around like they were there because they needed a job. The lady that took our order was very rude. My daughter, whom is a special needs child, asked me about a certain item on the menu. I asked the lady who was serving us to explain to my daughter what the item on the menu was. She did a quick hand gesture towards me, vaguely describing what it was and then walked away from our table. She did not acknowledge my daughter's question. This kind of angered me because I could not answer her question. My daughter decided to order something else. The food was ok. Nothing special about it. My wife did not like it. My family has experienced excellent Mexican restaurants, so it is easy for us to compare and give an honest review. The staffs behavior really stuck with me. No smiles, no checking up on our table to see if all was ok or if we needed anything. I asked for water and I was given a small cup with water no ice. Cup was dirty on the outside. Water seemed like it came straight from the faucet. It was warm. Would I recommend this place, absolutely not! Unless what I described does not bother you, then go ahead, enjoy. read more

Just a current review. Chicken quesadilla was loaded and came with a lot of rice and all the fixings. Chicken tacos were very good. Chips and bean dip was good. This was a Grub Hun order. read more

Cilantro is a vibrantly decorated Mexican restaurant in downtown Vineland. You can almost always get a table even on busy nights. Everything here has been delicious, from simple tacos platters to bisteca and cecina. Service is always friendly and fast too. Cilantro is one of the great reasons to dine in Vineland and support the downtown dining scene. read more

Love the vibe here and the music. The girls waiting tables are always friendly. The food is good but I wanted something spicy and they couldn't get it right. I think the cook needs to learn more. read more

After many times dining here and having mediocre experiences, tonight was the final straw and sadly we will not be back. Typically the food is good but the service is not, it is blatantly obvious that none of the servers have had any proper training. Tonight we tried again. Our nachos were very good and so was my food. My husband's food however left a lot to be desired. He ordered 2 enchiladas and two burritos as a combo meal with ranchero sauce on all. When it came out there was almost no sauce on it but, no big deal he filled up on apps. When the waitress noticed his full meal there she asked if he needed a box (didn't ask if there was a problem), he respond that he did but he would also need ranchero sauce on the side because it was so dry he wouldn't be able to eat it without the sauce. Once she figured out how much sauce he needed, she brought out 2- 4 or 5oz soufflé cups along with the bill. Upon checking the bill, we saw that each little container was $2.00. The amount of sauce in the cups should have been on the entree to begin with and when questioned about the price, her answer was "yes, that's right". With that my husband told them they could keep the garbage food, and the overpriced ranchero sauce. He paid the full bill, plus a tip (more than she was worth) and told her he would never be back to which she responded "ok". $90 for two people to leave frustrated is just not worth it. read more

I've taken everyone; girlfriend, best friends, family, coworkers etc, we all have loved it ! Al pastor tacos are my go to, followed by the al Pastor Quesadilla So much food for a cheap price! the menu doesn't say it but you can interchange tacos, so you're not restricted to the same three. They're also authentic so typically served with only onions and cilantro, so if you're a cheese lover like myself don't forget to add cheese. So far so good! read more

We have been there a few times and usually we like it. But me and the family went there the other day the food was Good but some of the prices were outrageous we used to get a large guacamole and the whole family could eat from it I think it was about $12 now I got the guacamole they only have one size and it was only about the size of 3/4 to a cup worth of guacamole and they charged over $12. I also got a side of sour cream that was only about the third of a cup and they charged me three dollars. They also added 18% gratuity for only for people. Sorry to say we will most likely never be going back, I understand that everything costs more but to take a vantage of your customers is highway robbery. read more

So disgusted..... after preparing my husbands plate from a 65$ delivery order A couple of weeks ago, I was delayed in eating my own food for about 20 minutes . Just as my husband finished his food I began to remove my food containers from the bag when a roach ran out of the bag.....I never called or returned the food due to not wanting to upset my husband since he had eaten all of his. Needless to say I threw everything else away including my meal and my daughters All I know is that for there to be a roach in a delivery bag there must be an awful lot in the store that it came from. I have never had this type of experience and would never even consider ordering from this establishment again. read more

I went here in January. A bit pricey for mediocre food. I've been to many Mexican restaurants, but this one was very disappointing. The food is very bland and not at all flavorful. We ordered sopa Azteca and the base tasted like Campbell's tomato soup with tortillas and avocado. There was no salt, pepper, or any seasoning whatsoever. Very unappetizing and it cost $9. The waitress told the cook who didn't have the decency to apologize or even speak to us. We ordered chicken quesadillas. The rice also had no flavor and I could've made better food myself. I soll never be going back here. So disappointed in this place. The only half decent aspect was that the waitress was nice. read more

If you are looking for authentic Mexican food this is the place. I had the Burrito Bandera and it was delicious. It was covered with 3 separate sauces - red, green and a white cheese. The restaurant has a nice Mexican atmosphere. I will definitely go back again next time I am in Vineland read more

I'm again let down. No flavor here, everyone who ordered something at my table agreed. The food looked great but it was plain. Ingredients looked fresh but there was nothing behind it unfortunately. If this place wants to survive on Landis it needs to pick it up. The service was ok, the girl was young and seemed rushed. The other servers all looked the same. The place looks like classic vineland inside which I personally like. Milly's, El Guacamole, and Downtown Deli run the Spanish/Mexican show around here. I hope this place can pick it up! I ordered tostadas, my two friends ordered shrimp fajitas and chicken tacos. read more

I had the burrito loco with the ranchers sauce for lunch. Very tasty and packed with Mexican meats. The melted cheese on top really set it off. I could barely finish the thing! Very nice server even if the kitchen was a little slow. It seems like they are making the food from scratch in the back and not from a pile of precooked meat. read more

Service was subpar...kids ordered off the children's menu that reads "free ice cream" and when we asked we were told "the back said they aren't giving it out. We asked for coffee and again got told "they ran out". Food entrees came out at different times. Lastly, we waited an extended period of time waiting for server to come back and pick up check. Unfortunately, I thought the food overall was pretty good. There was only two tables being occupied so I truly didn't understand the lack of attentiveness. read more

Great authentic Mexican food. Service is a little slow but the food makes up for it. The guacamole and pork tacos are the best!!!

If you have vision issues don't bother going to cilantros. Seems some idiot decided that online only menus is a smart choice. What this moron forgot was that not everyone has perfect vision and can read their menu off of a cell phone. I was there on Tuesday August 2 2022 and was advised that they only have online menus. Needless to say I told the waitress that cilantros could stick their online menu and walked out read more

We love their food! It was the first time we tried it. We had the 20 tacos for $30 special. We had steak, al pastor, and pork . The tacos had 2 tortillas and were filled with meat. So good, so worth doing it again. read more

It's great. Get the bowl of meat, cheese and veggies Everything was great service was good

Worst mother day ever. After having to deal with an angry grub hub driver for waiting so long ..and then he cancelled my order. Then I called the restaurant...which I should have just let it go at that point. Everything was wrong. My husband went and picked it up and it was awful. Ground beef instead of steak...none of my requests were made. We didn't get any salsa. There were chicken tenders instead of nuggets. There was no cilantro or onions on the tacos. Plus no onion bulbs or grilled jalapeno like usual. Just a box of 20 tacos for $45 with nada on them. I called and spoke to a very nice girl to complain and she was helpful. However after she talked to the owners they literally said to bring all the food back on and they would refund me. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Now the picked over food my my husband and my kids you want me to return? So you can throw it away and take even more time away from my family on mother's day? $175 my order was. I didn't expect a full refund. Maybe an apology and a free guac for my next order. Instead I told them to kiss my a** and I am never going there again. How do you say that to a mama on mother's day...return the food? Even the girl on the phone said the cooks in the back said they messed up the food! Sorry ...never giving them my business again. I hope other people don't also from my review. I don't want to support owners like that. And I support all of the local businesses around me as much as I can. Sorry Cilantro. You just lost a long time customer. You can suck it. read more

Very friendly wait staff and the atmosphere is nice with music playing. Food was great with good flavor. The Resturant appears to be a byob and settle bottle drinks so no free refills. Definitely will be back. read more

This is mine and the husband's new local place to eat! Food is always fresh, Everytime we walk in the door we are treated like royalty. The servers remember what we like and will suggest new menu items accordingly. We will be back and bring mirenfriends. read more

I absolutely love this place! My friend and I have been loyal customers since they opened earlier this year. The 20 tacos for $30 is an amazing deal, they deliver and they hook us up all the time! Can't say enough good things about this place!!! Burritos are on point and so are the soups and the Guac! And they DELIVER!!! Fresh tortillas!! Enough said! read more

The food was prepared with care. Great ingredients and menu. Reasonable prices. Good service and atmosphere. Servers were very kind.

Had high hopes for this restaurant but sadly it fell short. Severely lacking in the flavor department and mediocre customer service. Ordered delivery and when I realized they had forgotten my side of queso I called and they would not make a separate trip to bring it back even though it was paid for (they asked if I could come and pick it up but hence the delivery, I was stuck at work and couldn't leave) Sides and sauces could definitely be larger for the amount of food that you get (my toppings had the smallest teaspoon of sour cream and guacamole for my quesadillas) Hope this place can turn it around or they will not make it much longer. Will be my last order placed with them. read more

first time here and i would have to say that food was alright was not the best ive had around here, service was good and timing was good only thing lacking was the food! read more

My family is new to the area, and decided to come to this little place for my sister's birthday. My mother had recently had surgery, and wasn't allowed to eat solid food. She was fully prepared to just eat the retried beans, but the staff went above and beyond to make her a special soup just for her. All of the food was amazing. Our server, Marlene, was excellent. We will definitely be back! read more

Excellent food and customer service. Love coming to this restaurant. Great authentic Mexican food!
