Cielito Lindo

I had lunch at Cielito Lindo yesterday with my lady friend and we had the nicest time EVER! We both ordered margaritas and they were delicious. I would've loved a fruity blended margarita but these were just fine and they had the perfect amount of tequila. I ordered the fish ceviche. The fish was fresh and flavorful. The portion was generous. My friend had.......you know what? I enjoyed my lunch so much I can't remember what my friend had. I do remember she was just as happy as I was. We both loved the salsa, chips and queso that were served before our meal.The service could not be beat either. Our waiter was charming, competent and very efficient. We sat on the patio which was shady, breezy and had a nice view. I'm looking forward to trying many of the other menu items. I will most definitely be coming back.

Would've loved to eat here but after sitting down and looking through our menu we never received drinks and then heard the group of staff just standing around talking about us in Spanish. Had lots to say about us while also having the audacity to complain about slow business. Maybe don't assume your customers don't speak Spanish and then call them names behind their back. We just got up and left. Save your money for a place that will actually value your money and time.

Nomas le doy una estrella porq no se puede dar menos. Llegamos más de una dos antes de cerrar y nomas estaba una muchachita y un señor trabajando. Tengo el presentimiento que nuestro mesero también era el cocinero porq la comida se tardó bastante para no estar nada de ocupados.... Pero todo el momento que estábamos ahí se la pasaron limpiando creo terminaron de limpiar antes de cerrar yo también soy mesera so aguanto mucho antes de quejarme primera ves en mi vida que no dejo propina.... No gasten su dinero aquí... Just leaving a star because you can't pick anything lower. Got here 2 hours before closing and I think only a young girl and an older guy were working. For a sec I even thought my waiter was the cook because the food took so long to come out lol. But they weren't busy enough to stop cleaning in front of us the whole time lol I think they finished cleaning before they even closed I'm also a waiter so it takes a lot for me to complain so imagine that. Also this is the first time in my life I don't leave a tip.. don't waste your money here...

The food is delicious! Great service. I recommend this restaurant if you are a lover of sea food. Comfy seats, great place to eat!

This place has a nice atmosphere it's very clean and very cute however the food on the menu is not as pleasant as I dreamt about I haven't been to New Mexico several years and the Relleno I received was very squished in covered and dripping in lard- Sadie's has great Rellenos this is not a paid review I'm just giving my honest to God opinion- I will never eat there again and I believe they Me to change the fryer grease because it seems like it's been sitting there for weeks and probably has old toe jam & pocket lint- Good luck to folks over there who do you have a good experience

I think this is the first time I've seen "Tamal" at a restaurant. I've seen plenty of "Tamale" before. Does that make Cailito Lindo more authentic? Maybe, but I'll say the current 3-3.5 star rating is about right.I did get the Tamal dish and was glad I didn't upgrade to the Tamales by taking the option to add another. I'm not glad because the food wasn't any good. The reason is, one was plenty. In addition to the tamal, there were two eggs, beans, cheese, potatoes, and the standard assortment of vegetables. They also brought out chips with red, green, and cheese sauces for dipping. Finally, they brought out four flour tortillas for the two of us.My Tamal dish was $6 so that's a lot of food for the money. Why the 3-3.5 star rating then? It's mostly about flavor and overall quality of the food. Everything was decent but nothing stood out. The tamal was a bit dry inside but the flavor was there and the green chile sauce on top helped.I got the breakfast version of the enchilada player on another visit. It was good with the egg and green chile on top. Added chicken for extra protein.All in all, there are some better food options in the area but I'd go back for some reasonably authentic Mexican cuisine at a decent price.

After reading the reviews,Considered not trying this spot. So so glad we did!! My sister and I both had the Maripossa (not sure if that's right lol) -- grilled fish topped with shrimp and seafood served with baked potato and mixed steamed veggies along with flour or corn tortilla. WONDERFUL!! We both could only eat about half... and a skinny girl I am not!! The melon water, which they make on site along with pineapple and horchata, was possibly the most delicious thing I've ever tasted!!! Will most definitely bring hubby and my grandson back!!

Great service! Great seafood!!! Hard to speak English in this establishment, so brush up on your Spanish!

Carne Asada PlateMuy buen servicio y excelente comida. El plato de alambrada para 2 es mi favorito

I have had dinner twice and breakfast once. I like the food and the service. I highly recommend this place.
