The portions were small, and you eat with your eyes first. In this case you go blind. The portions were not satisfying at all. This isn't authentic, it's a shame. And the rice and beans were godawful. We had to place an order to a real, authentic restaurant in Branford because the hunger pangs needed to be fuelled. We paid a lot less, had portions five times the size and were finally satiated. We even have some left over. When I called this restaurant and asked to speak to the manager, I was told that they wouldn't be back until next week. How convenient. This is the first, and last time that I will ever order from this restaurant!

I love peruvian, particularly Saltado but I don't eat beef anymore so I went with the pollo saltado and let me say it was better than 95 percent of saltados I have had including the lomos. I didn't miss the beef! The chicken was juicy and tender the fries were deliciously soaked in the most amazing sauce. It was drinkable that sauce. The creamy green sauce was a great addition to the dish but it was so good on its own. The portion size was enormous! Easily had three meals out of it. My spouse had the pollo chaufa and we both thought it was one of the best chicken fried rice type dishes ever. The fried nuts (seeds?) they provide complimentary were sooo addictive. It was hard not to keep eating them. Finally the service was really excellent. The woman who waited on us could not have been kinder and more friendly. 10/10 all around great food and service.

The empanadas were large and underwhelming. There is a lot of variety in empanadas across Latin America, but these were just middling at best and completely lacking in flavor. The ground beef had a good amount of underwhelming filling. However, the two with chicken in them were more dough than anything else and pretty insipid.

Cilantro Fresh Mexican Grill is a fast-casual Mexican-style restaurant that opened in New Haven,…read moreConnecticut in 2012. 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.
