El Cielo - Chilee Rellenos & chile pablanos! Mmmm - Mexican Near Me - Greeley, Colorado

First time here and I was impressed with how authentic the food was!! Don't find much options in Loveland and I will definitely be going back !. Service was decent but could be better I would overall rate this place a 8/10 with cleanliness and food!!. read more

Tasty, affordable place to grab some typical Colorado-style Mexican food. Menu has a good variety of dishes that are reasonably priced. Green chili (with the usual orange color) comes in hot, medium or mild--the hot isn't too challenging. There is a slight uniqueness to the flavor, though. The service was friendly & lightning fast. Breakfast: The chicharron burrito was very good, with a crunchy but yielding texture. The meal started off with chips & smooth refried beans, a nice change. I'd eat here again. read more

Very good Mexican food, recently raised prices, so not as good a vaulebas before. Portions are above avg. and service is ok.

This place is so good!!!! Not only good but incredibly consistent and I say that after 10+ times eating here. Carne asada chimi w/ green chili and shrimp ceviche are just a couple of the amazing dishes you have to try. The ceviche can be HOT so be careful but you really can't go wrong with anything here. Also the breakfast burritos are the best I've ever had. Hungry just writing this. Love El Cielo!!!! read more

El Cielo - Carne Assad chimi with green chili - Mexican Near Me - Greeley, Colorado

Very disappointed. We have a group of 10. 8 adults, one child and 1 infant. Regulations in the state allow for 10. The staff at this place said we could not sit together because only 8 were allows to a party. The table behind us had 9, 8 adults and 1 child. This place would not allow us to be seated at the same table because of an infant. They are holding tighter restrictions then the state and would not accommodate us. read more

Everything here is AMAZING. The best part is they have vegetarian green chile (They offer pork green chile too). I was able to inhale massive amounts of tasty green chile without the meat, which can be hard to find. Love it read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. 10 minutes to get drinks (water). The lunch buffet had tasteless, almost pureed hamburger meat, taco shells, soggy tortillas, waited 20 minutes for the enchiladas that were nothing but tortillas with some light cheese drowned in green Chile. The refried bean soup instead of salsa was an especially nice touch. Absolutely awful. I'm just glad I didn't spend anymore than 20 on inedible food. read more

Food was good. Perfect portion. It took a little longer than other places to get our food, but I guess that means it is fresher. Went for breakfast, hoped i could have tried the margaitas. A little dark. I don't have good eyesight so I had to use my cellphone light to see the menu. read more

Services is very slow and the food is flavorless. I have tried many of the items on their menu and haven't found anything worth ordering again. Good draft beer selection and it is good an cold. read more

We got the pleasure of eating here again while in town. Due to the fact it was so awesome, We ate here twice. The second time we had guest from Loveland and they said it was much better than the one in Loveland. Our youngest son loved it as well. Trust me, you can't go wrong here!! read more

I've been here several times this is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Greeley I had the chimney conga with refried beans and Babacoa smothered with pork green chili it was delicious I've also had their tacos and they are good margaritas are awesome Waite staff is friendly and great service I would go back here again and again one of my favorite places to go to eat Mexican food read more

Excellent taqueria. Can you say CHEAP? I skipped the $5.99 buffet, and opted for the Alambre & al pastor tacos. Both excellent. A nice, traditional salsa bar complements the chips served with refried beans. read more

El Cielo - Mexican Near Me - Greeley, Colorado

I got tacos with different meats, but they were all the same. They didn't taste good so I mostly threw them out. The salsa bar was not good either, and kind of scared me. I was actually happy to leave this place. On the positive side, the fajitas my wife ordered were pretty good. So I would recommend doing that. read more

I come her 3 times a month. The food is very good. Unfortunately with covid the service is terrible. Not enough servers. I am waiting for my check for 20 minutes. Good thing the next table over is playing loud videos? read more

I've had better Mexican food, but they do give you a good serving of food. The menu does have a very good long list of Mexican food that isn't found in other restaurants. For my 2nd visit I had the fajitas with chicken, steak and shrimp mixed with mozzarella. This dish is very good with the steak and chicken, shrimp was a little tough. I also had chili nachos for my appetizer, it was good but they use that fake yellow cheese which is never appetizing. The staff and waitress were very friendly. The refried beans are too soupy and just don't taste right. The lunch buffet is a disapointment. It's basically just like taco night at home. read more

This place is the real deal for authentic Mexican food. I've been to El Cielo several times and I've always had a great experience. The food brings me back to when I lived in a South Texas border town. It's rare to come across real authentic Mexican food. And to have it right here in Greeley and also in Loveland. The owner is awesome. I guarantee If you don't see him at the 10th street location, he is at the Loveland location. The thing I enjoy most is he is genuine. He doesn't just stop by and do the BS talk of 'how was everything,' he is genuine and connects with all guests. Being financially focused, I'm selective where my money goes. I'm more than happy to spend my money here. Give it a try. You will be impressed! read more

Checked it out last weekend since we were in the area. LOVED the salsa bar. Lost of different types of peppers, pico and salsas. Waiter was really nice, really helpful. We both got breakfast burritos. They were pretty flavorful; however, the green chili smothering them was cold. The burritos were hot, but not the chili. All in all, they were pretty good but not spectacular. We noticed a lot of people coming in to take their burritos to go. That may be an option in the future. read more

Ordered four hand hand bean and cheese burritos for take out this evening. $5.50 per burrito. I was handed four styrofoam containers that were so light, I cracked the top and looked before leaving. Low and behold, One folded tortilla with a table spoon of beans and a sprinkle of government cheese. I asked the server if this was some sort of joke. She took the four containers and had the kitchen wrap them in tin foil. Now I have four mini pancake burritos the would not feed on average age child. Really enjoyed the server throwing the brown bag into my chest. Worst service I've ever experienced. If you are looking for a $22.00 bean and cheese burrito, go to El shitto and order four bean and cheese table spoon pancake burritos. Don't waste your hard earned dollars at El Shitto. Trust me, there are so many better Mexican restaurants in Greeley! read more

My husband and I come here for breakfast at least every other weekend. I think their breakfast burritos are hands-down the best in the area. If you get them made to order it takes a little while (10 minutes or so), but is SO worth it. They're not huge, so get two (or three). I also get the huevos rancheros fairly often and love it. The refried beans are a little soupy and could be served a little warmer. The salsa is great, especially the tomatillo and the roasted. The service is good, not necessarily outstanding, but very friendly and attentive. El Cielo is definitely one of our favorite places. read more

Great food and service. Authentic Mexican good! Salsa bar had a variety of sauces. I would recommend this resturant again. read more

El Cielo - Inside dining area. - Mexican Near Me - Greeley, Colorado

The al pastor was absolutely authentic and the carnitas was awesome. Both were delicious ! Server was polite. Deserves more than 3 1/2 stars. Wish we would have tried this place sooner. read more

The new location is awesome! There's a lot more space. I love the options to go and get your own types of salsa and the chips come with free bean dip! Margaritas are good, good is good, pork green chile is great! 5 stars for a Mexican restaurant in Greeley! read more

Went here to try out a new restaurant. Meal came with salsa bar and chips and refried beans. Husband ordered horchata and it has been the best we've had locally; not gritty and had good flavor. I had a house margarita and it tasted very salty. Told the waitress and she gave me a new one, much better. Food was very good. Price was normal for the type of restaurant. Service was quick and they paid attention, I even got a free dessert to take home for the mess up on the margarita. We will definitely be back. read more

My mother and I went to have lunch and we were seated and told that the menu was now online to support the no contact of today's "new normal" . After scanning the QR code I could not bring up the menu. My mother could but it was very blurry and hard to read. While we were sharing the "menu" the waitress came over to see if we were ready to order and we told her we were not and she huffed off upset that we did not order yet. She did not return until about 15 minutes later and took our order. After about another 30-40 minutes later we got our food, cold and wrong!! I had ordered a shredded beef enchilada and Received a ground beef instead and my mother had ordered a cheese enchilada and Received a shredded beef. Our waitress did not return until she brought the check. Needless to say we will not be going back!!! Between my 1st visit with NO service and this visit with VERY POOR service, I am severely disappointed. If I can give less then 1star I would! At 4:45 PM, my mother informed me that she is now VERY Nauseated after eating there! read more

If you are white, be prepared to be ignored and treated like crap. The food used to be wonderful but is average now. This place used to be great years ago but they have lost our business for good. It's a bummer such a good place can go downhill so fast! read more

I'm still eating my tacos! Hands down best tacos I've had in a while. Aunthentic flavors, delicious and rich meat. Affordable, friendly staff. I placed my order to go and it was ready in less time than I was told. Great job everyone! read more

I had been experiencing something of a taco drought, having spent the past year living in central Alberta. While visiting family in Greeley, I requested we hit up El Cielo so I could get my fix. This place does not disappoint. The prices are reasonable, the portions are great, and, above all, they make small, authentic street-style tacos. I was in heaven! There is certainly room for improvement in the quality of service, but otherwise this is a really great restaurant. read more

Friendly service and great food is staple of el cielo. Big fan of the stuffed sophpida and salsa bar.

Came for Breakfast and wish we hadn't. Took about half an hour to receive horrible food! The worst part is there was only 6 people in the whole restaurant and they were still taking forever on the food. read more

Worst food ever. You can judge a Mexican restaurant best by simply having a taco in my opinion. Literally ZERO flavor in the ground beef. Tasted like it was cooked in boiling water. Having been a chef most of my life I don't know a single line cook, chef, owner, manager or anyone else who would serve that. I asked why it looked as it someone had soaked my taco in water, the response, that's not water. So I looked at him, waiting for the rest of his response. He looked at me as if waiting to be excused from my table. Not to mention the bus boy who wiped a table down, swept a knife from under the table then used the knife to attempt to wipe a crumb off the table he just cleaned. I know we are in Greely but come on, step it up just a little, where's your pride? read more

We went last night with a party of 7. We started eating the complementary bean dip and immediately found a hair in it! The crazy thing was when we pointed it out to the waitress she just said "oh yeah there it is, are you ready to order?" That unconcerned attitude was consistent throughout the entire meal. Someone ordered fajitas and it didn't come with all these sides and the waitress acted annoyed when they asked for them. I ordered a chile relleno and it tasted like bleach. I complained and sent it back. When we got the ticket they had only taken half the price of the meal off the ticket. When I asked why she explained that half of the other food on the plate had been eaten. I did have a couple of bites of the beans before trying the chile relleno but definitely not half. It was just horrible customer service all around, and the place seemed very unsanitary. read more

If you want to wait around for about an hour for mediocre Mexican food go to EL Cielo. You'll walk in, have someone look blankly at you until you tell them the number of people in your party then be told you'll only have to wait about 10 minutes. In my case, I placed a to go order, was told the wait would be thirty minutes. After an hour, I asked if they could check on my order and the server brought me my food freezing cold. Watered down flavorless beans, tough carne asada and under seasoned guac. This place is NOT the place to be! read more

They've moved across the street to 3645 10th St. where the old Flamingo Liquors used to be. Last night, the dinner crowd was hopping! Old timer ranchers, singles, Hispanic families, multi-generational gringo families, oil field trash (hey! it's a compliment!) and others obviously enjoying themselves and the food. And dang it, the food is good. Nothing gourmet here, but it's solid fare at fair price points. Over a dozen gracious young ladies working the 2 spacious rooms, each one of them with a lovely smile that just made this joint all the more special! read more

Food was ok, nothing special. Salsa bar fell way short of expectations, but what really hurt was the terrible service. It was probably the worst all around service I have had anywhere. The staff couldn't care less they had a party of 8...I would not recommend this place, there is far better Mexican food in Greeley, with better service. read more

Went there last week with a ravenous appetite and excited to try a new place! Ordered the grilled steak; over-cooked to the extent that I couldn't even chew, let alone swallow it, plus my beans and rice was cold. Sent it back, ordered the grilled chicken, much better, yet the refried beans was like soup. Too bad for me, I was starving. The salsa and bean dip was good. My boyfriend ordered a beef burrito. The ground beef tasted strange. Now, I'm from CA and know about authentic Mexican food...I was disappointed. Still looking for a good, authentic Mexican restaurant. It can be a hole in the wall; I don't care, just give me the authenticity! Having Menudo a must! read more

The food here is AWESOME!!!!! The the chips and bean dip was really good too. The portions are a good size also. This was our first time here and service wasnt the greatest but we wont let it dictate us for not coming back read more

Poor service!! Bland food, blended refried beans. Did I mention the poor service?! Won't go back.

We love El Cielo! The Greeley area is really hurting in terms of good restaurants, but this is definitely one of the better ones. Their food is well priced, the atmosphere is fun, and the food is really great (and, like another reviewer mentioned, consistent). Some reviewers have mentioned the beans are soupy, but I like that especially when they bring a dish out with chips instead of salsa like some restaurants. Their salsa bar is awesome, I highly recommend the roasted chili one. I also find their food to be consistent with authentic Mexican cuisine (including the "soupy" beans). The staff is friendly and welcoming, and finally the Micheladas are divine! Go get yourself some. read more

Great food. Great service! This isn't your typical chain restaurant, so if that's what you want, go to Chili's across the way. El Cielo has great food, an authentic atmospere and decent drinks. Their new location is a lot of fun. Greeley is a great place to live... and this place only adds to my love of Greeley! read more
