We are Puerto Ricans. We went to El Cilantrillo on Saturday November 17th, and we had an amazing experience. The food is great. We all ordered different foods, we were tasting each other's plates and everything tasted incredibly delicious. Karla R. was our server. She was amazing very attentive. And the place was packed!!!! That did not interfere with the quality of each plate that we received and each drink including desert! Let's not forget! For our birthday guest they brought a whole parranda! We loved it. The vibe was amazing! We really enjoyed ourselves.

The food was absolutely amazing and so was the service! I would love to be back soon, however this spot is pricey and with drinks the bill will definitely rack up quick. My only other observation is the absolute pain the parking situation is. I do understand it is not their fault but it is something worth mentioning. Otherwise, the food came out relatively quick and scolding hot. Both the appetizers and the entrees. And our server (wish I would have gotten her name) was an absolute sweetheart.

This is a cool place, busy, with friendly people, it's like a Puertorrican version of Applebee's. I may be wrong, don't think too much about that statement. I came in and the place was busy, I had to sit at the bar with a large group. I was hungry so I ordered real food (vs snacks). I got chicken chunks with red beans and rice. I also got an empanada (pastelillo). Everything was good, I got a lot of chicken for a good price but one expensive empanada that can't compete with my neighborhood's COMIDA LATINA place. But everything was pretty good, including the cilantro sauce that made the food taste even better. The people are friendly, in general the prices are good, I already described the vibe, and I will come back for the asopao de pollo.

My husband and I went to El Cilantrillo for dinner on a weekend and once we arrived we were seated immediately. When you walked in there had a singer singing live music and he sounded really good, he also took requests from the audience which was really nice. Our waitress was friendly and got our drink orders really fast considering the place was really busy. All the mojitos we ordered were delicious and complemented our food. For an appetizer we ordered the stuffed plantains with steak and it was delectable. It was the perfect size appetizer for me and my husband and it really opened our appetite. For our main course we shared the Pork Mofongo. First, the size alone is worth the value, it was huge and overflowing from the dish. The Mofongo had plenty of sauce to keep it moist and the pork chunks were packed with flavor. Each bite had a piece of pork in it, needless to say we both were stuffed. For dessert we ordered a flancocho and it was a nice little palate cleanser to end our meal, and the presentation was really cute. I definitely would recommend El Cilantrillo for a date night with a loved one especially with the music and food it was a really good vibe.

I had the pleasure of enjoying dinner & a football game here on Sunday, 12-17-23. The good reviews helped me decide to stop by. I ordered the fried cheese as an appetizer; it came with a guava sauce that the cheese didn't need, but it took the taste to another level. I also ordered the shrimp stew, expecting it to be a small bowl of soup. Marnie was my server and warned me that the stew was big. She did not lie at all. The shrimp stew was delicious, flavorful, and filling. I really wanted to try the flan but I was so full, I couldn't. As I made a dent in my stew, I asked Marnie for a drink menu. The tropical sangria caught my eye, but I went with Marnie's suggestion of the red house sangria. It was so good! Quite strong for wine, but in the best way. They had plenty of screens for both football and basketball games. I noticed a lot of toys and some bikes near the Christmas tree by my table. I'm assuming that they're giving the gifts away. I love those who give back to their community. There were a few parties celebrating birthdays, and I enjoyed the staff's singing and drum playing. I stopped by having a long layover before my next flight. Marnie would check on me without hovering. Also, a server was nice enough to let me charge my phone for a few minutes before I left. Would definitely return the next time I'm in Orlando.

Latin Food! Second time visting Cilantrillo and delicious as always. This time I try the mofongo with steak and chicken with garlic. They have different kinds of mofongos as well. They have a great variety of food and sharable plates. Great customer service, our server Silvia was so friendly. They have different locations in Orlando. Great place to celebrate a birthday or get together with family.
