Cielo Cocina Mexicana was a mix of hits and misses, but the standout dishes were good enough that…read moreI'll definitely be back! ​The Highlights: * ​Calamar & Jalapeño: The absolute star of the night. This is easily one of the best fried calamari dishes in town and worth every penny. I wished the jalapeños had a bit more heat, but the flavor and texture were incredible. * ​Baja Chimi: The sauce on this was phenomenal--so good that next time I visit, I'm going to see if I can get this sauce on nachos instead of standard cheese! Mixed feeling: * ​Quesabirria Taco Plate: The consommé was rich, deeply flavorful, and great for dipping. However, the birria meat inside the tacos was on tougher side and chewy rather than tender, which held the dish back. ​The Misses: * ​Fish Ceviche: The biggest lowlight--the fish was surprisingly tough and missed the mark on texture. ​* Nachos with Carne Asada: Pretty underwhelming. Adding carne asada was a steep $10+ upcharge, yet the portion of meat was tiny and the overall flavor was bland.

A pricey, yet worthwhile restaurant that's perfect for pre-date night!…read more I came here with the missus. in the early evening to grab some eats and get out of the house during a busy month. I seen this place recommended a few times and after going, I see why it's recommended. Food They do have a pretty solid selection of eats as well as an extensive drink menu. We didn't really know what to order and I'm also on a diet so I opted for the steak salad which honestly was probably one of the best steak salads I've ever eaten. You can't go wrong with their bowls either. Now the price of said items are a different story. Although the eats are what I would call extremely high-quality, they were definitely on the pricier side, as were the drinks. Service We were seated almost immediately, even though we had a reservation and our server was very engaged. Our water cups were never empty. I think we would've appreciated a little more small talk or chitchat, but it was kind of busy in there so I won't necessarily hold that against them. Ambiance The restaurant was way smaller than it looks online, and the seating was a little awkward. We were sitting on this bench thing, but there is some type of separator in between the missus and I. I'm sure we could've sat somewhere else but so it goes. I do believe that there is seating upstairs, but we did not go up there so I'm not sure. What I did love about this restaurant is that the natural light from the big windows made it feel warm, and the music and plants/vegetation really did make it feel like you were somewhere tropical. Loved that! Conclusion Overall, I give this place a 4/5 would recommend. The food is great, the service is good and I'm pretty sure you will have a great time here, just be prepared to spend a little bit more than you anticipate!

Sandra, the manager, was gracious enough to walk me through my wonderful lunch. It was in the middle of the afternoon so she was able to take the time to point out things on the menu that I might enjoy. She was spot on. I enjoyed everything. She suggested wines also. I highly recommend this restaurant. The Food was excellent, the service was better.

I used to love this place. Disappointed lunch today though!…read more Ordered a Squid Paella. The idea of the Squid paella is that the rice gets black with its ink, not tan rice. Had to explain this to 3 waiters and themy also to the kitchen.. that shows they serve just rice dishes not paellas, big difference. Once we got it back from the kitchen after they FIXED it the level of salt was beyond allowing us to enjoy the rice. Btw you can't fix a Paella, that means it's not cooked right. Very disappointed for a $66 dish for 2.

The service was also impressively quick, we had our drinks and food out in no time, which was perfect after a long shopping day. We started with Moscow mules, and they were perfectly balanced and refreshing. The chips and salsa while we waited were a great touch and super satisfying! For food, we ordered the carne asada, smoked brisket tacos, and the southwest chopped salad and YUM. Everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were spot on, the portions were generous, and we genuinely enjoyed every bite. Safe to say... we left our plates completely clean! Overall, such a great experience with amazing food, fast service, and a warm atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

I was visiting Seattle for the week and was craving some vegetarian tacos, so I found this place on…read moreYelp. The first thing to know is that it can be a little tricky to find if you're not familiar with the area. It's located on the second floor of the mall, and the easiest way to access it is through the parking garage. I really loved the decor. It was clean, modern, and had a great atmosphere. I was greeted by a very friendly hostess who explained that to-go orders are normally placed online, but she happily got the manager to help me. He was incredibly helpful and made the ordering process easy. The food was really good! I ordered the jackfruit tacos with rice and beans, along with the guacamole sampler. I didn't realize beforehand that it was more Tex-Mex style, so that was a little different than I expected. The guacamole itself was good, but I'm personally not a fan of cheese and some of the additional toppings mixed into guacamole, so it just wasn't my preference. That doesn't mean it wasn't good. It just wasn't for me. The jackfruit tacos, however, were fantastic. I absolutely love jackfruit, and these were some of the best I've had other than the ones I make. They could have used a little more spice, but they were still delicious. And the chips? Completely addicting! I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in Seattle to try more items on the menu

You know, the kind of place where you sit down thinking, "We'll just have one drink," and suddenly it's three tequilas later and you're talking about your childhood dreams. Speaking of tequila... WOW. The tequila selection here is basically a library, and the bartenders are the very enthusiastic librarians. They know everything. My partner and I were lovingly escorted through a full tequila tour before our food even arrived, and honestly? By the time dinner showed up, life was beautiful and all decisions felt correct. Needless to say, we were having an excellent time. The food definitely holds its own too. Everything came out fresh, beautifully plated, and tasting like someone in the kitchen actually cares (which is always a plus). We split a few dishes, including the Carne Asada and the Pescado. The Carne Asada was good, though it could've used just a bit more seasoning, nothing tragic, just a gentle nudge from "good" to "wow." The Pescado, however, was fantastic. Topped with olives, capers, and tomatoes... I mean, how do you even mess that up? You don't. And they didn't. Bonus points: they're open late, until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. So if you find yourself wandering the streets of Bellevue after hours, questioning your life choices and craving tequila and good food, congratulations, you've found your place. Overall: great vibes, strong drinks, solid food, and bartenders who will happily teach you more about tequila than you ever planned to know. I'd absolutely come back, and probably let them "educate" me again.

I don't often get any Mexican food on the Eastside since I just haven't found a good one yet. And sadly, I have to admit that I still have not found any worth the drive across the lake. I ordered one of their burritos, hefty pricing but that's what you'd expect on this side of town. Not the heftiest burrito though for its price, but filling enough. Taste wise it was as a Yelp 3 Star describes, "OK". I've had a lot of Mexican food across the whole West Coast, and this one isn't any special. But of course I will have to try again another day.

The food is quite good. I wouldn't call it authentically Mexican, but rather a contemporary, slightly elevated interpretation of Mexican cuisine. Personally, I would have loved a bit more of those bold, authentic Mexican flavors to come through, but overall, the dishes were enjoyable and beautifully presented. The staff was genuinely warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout the evening. I did change my mind shortly after being seated and asked to move from indoors to the patio. Our hostess, Aguilera, gave me a quick look that said, "Really? Already?" but was very gracious and accommodating. In the end, moving outside was definitely the right call! The wooden chairs indoors look beautiful but become a little uncomfortable after sitting for a while. The carved seating cocoons along the walls are visually striking and add a lot of character, although they're probably better for admiring than for a long, leisurely dinner. The outdoor seating, on the other hand, was very comfortable. The biggest opportunity for improvement is the acoustics. Conversations really travel and bounce around the interior, which naturally leads everyone to speak louder just to hear each other, creating a bit of a vicious cycle. During a busy dinner service, it can get quite noisy. That said, I'd absolutely come back and happily bring friends or visitors for a memorable dinner. My preference would definitely be a nice-weather evening with outdoor seating, where you can really enjoy the view and atmosphere. Pro tip: Ask for a Carajillo! It's a Mexican espresso cocktail that can be surprisingly hard to find done well. They have one here, and it was delicious, beautifully presented, and one of the highlights of the evening.
