The fries tasted like they were refried from earlier in the day or even the day before. The chicken was rather salty but edible. The fish also tasted like it was reheated from another day, maybe even microwaved. Not exactly sure but it sure did not taste fresh! My Wife and I were very disappointed as we spent $50+ dollars to eat lunch from this spot and it was subpar. That's the risk you take when trying something new tho. The plantains were the best thing we got from this place. The spinach and cheese empanadas are loaded with too much cumin! It was an immediate no from my first and only bite! In conclusion, it is safe to say the empanadas are decent enough but as far as anything else, I wouldn't recommend it. We will not be returning to this establishment.

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.

This is the worst Mexican food that I have ever eaten! I had an order delivered by Uber eats last…read morenight and the two orders of nacho were missing, the Cameron's was turned upside down and the sauce leaked out all through the bag. 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!

There were a few people eating at a table there, and some people finishing up ordering, which gave me time to look at the menu. They also have a cafeteria style food which looked delicious but I was not confident about ordering it. But I had seen good reviews for the cubano so I ordered that with everything on it, along side a soursop smoothie (water based, they have the option for milk) and fried yuca. All together it was around $20. I say and waited at a table and and had my very freshly made food in a few minutes. They have some casual indoor seating and a nice outdoor seating area with a few tables for people who want to eat immediately. The cubano was delicious. There was a generous amount of meat, great flavor, and really filling. I only ate half of it, saving the rest for later. The fried yuca was hot out of the fryer, tasted good and crispy. Little salt added and I forgot to grab some sauce while I was there so I ate it with some hot sauce I have. I also liked the smoothie a lot. I'm glad I tried this deli and glad I live close by to try more things on the menu!
