    Great food! Fast friendly and very good music. Their portions are huge so you are gonna need a doggy bag to take home.

    This used to be my favorite little hold in the wall taco shop... but prices went up A LOT! This place is good, but sorry to say we won't be visiting often for these prices. On the plus side, the portions are huge, and the staff is super friendly. Best green salsa in town! Used to LOVE the Chicken Chipotle fries... wish they hadn't raised the prices! SECRET MENU ITEM: The Ghetto Burrito! This thing is a MASSIVE Burrito that will fit across the whole table. Get it to share with the whole group, or get it for someone as a prank.

    Don't be blinded by the 4 and 5 star reviews this place has from 3-6 months ago. This place has really decayed from being a 5 star to a 1 star. Service is really poor. I came here and I am still here since 9 and it is 10am haven't had my food at all. Only are 3 tables , one table has 2 people another has around 10 persons but apparently they are getting a priority of getting their food first rather than having a first come first serve type of service. This place has only one cook and 1 cashier. And to top it off the soda machine has been broken for about 4-6 months ago haven't fixed it supposedly because "Coca-Cola hasn't come to fix it." This place is a SCAM as well as a really poor restaurant from what it used to be.

    Was it “better before”? Yes. Is it “a little expensive”? Yes. But is it the best burrito you can get in imperial beach? Yes! The bad reviews state that “it used to be better”, but it’s still the best in the area. I’ve been coming to this place since it opened, and have visited all the Mexican places in the area. The burritos here are hands down the best tasting and most delicious burritos you can buy in the area. Call it nostalgia, but I love this place. Do yourself a favor- get the California burrito with guacamole (they didn’t charge me extra like they did before), and the orange salsa. Even with the higher prices, the removal of the salsa bar, and the layout constantly changing, this is my favorite place to eat when I’m home. Great places deserve to expand and try new things as long as the food is still bomb. I love you, El Cilantro.

    Great place for a work lunch! 6 of us in ordered, well fed, and out within an hour! Highly reccomend the fish tacos.
