Cielito Taqueria & Bar

did you wanted to go out and party?! Well come to Cielito !! It's always a party there! But first off I would like to say I WAS IN HEAVEN. I am stoked that I tried this place because when I tell you the food and drinks are AMAZING! I got the lime ceviche and the Quesa Birria. Then I also got the mangonada drink. BETCCHHHHHHHH MY TASTEBUDS WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED! The service was great. The foods came out quick. And the drink. Holy moly for the price?! Definitely worth it in my opinion. The ceviche came out quick followed by the rest of the foods and it was a pretty busy night (on a Friday ) so I was extremely impressed by how fast we got the foods. Not only that but dude the food?! I can't stop talking about how good it was. I will say when you first walk in the music is a bit loud but they do have outside seating which is where we were seated. Overall my experience was great and I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants party vibes, good foods and good drinks. Definitely will be coming back!

Today was first time visiting Cielito in Burlington. I drive by it all the time as I am in the area for work. It was so good! I loved the serve your own salsa bar. I ordered the five taco platter with beans and rice. The meat and flavor in each taco was divine. My favorite was the chorizo! It was delicious and had a perfect texture. Everything paired well with a Modelo and lime. Be sure to save room for dessert as the Tres Leches cake is to die for! Plus the outside patio is perfect on a nice summer day. Don't miss it!

To start off, I really wanted to like this restaurant. Especially after it was recommended by several friends, but our family all agreed that it wasn't the best experience.The service was okay, walked in and were not greeted. It seems like a seat yourself, but the sign said wait to be seated. We stood awkwardly beside an occupied table since there is minimal space to stand and wait. Music inside is loud and music videos are shown on a screen, which makes it feel like the entire place is a bar. We sat in the patio area and I have to say it was beautiful. We loved the plants and outdoor lights plus the music being toned down. Definitely recommend sitting outdoors if possible. Our waitress was okay and would check on us, but we had to request refills. Went through our entire meal and no refill. Not super friendly, and just to the point. Took our order and that was it, which is okay. Also Seeing another waiter across from us flirt with his table gave us an uncomfortable feeling. The food was okay, plus it was hot and came out within a few minutes. The pan bazo was not like the picture; Only a small touch of red sauce on the bread. Everything else was good. Overall, I can certainly say this restaurant is not family friendly. The service and food were okay, but the ambience was not it for us. Seems to us like it's a bar that offers food. We are willing to give it another try during the day time and hopefully it will be a different experience. If you're in the area, give it a try and you may like it.

We were in Burlington and looking for something to eat. We saw the positive reviews at Cielito and decided to stop in.My wife has always been a huge fan of Mexican food. I like it as well although it is not always my first choice. We pulled in the parking lot and saw they are located at the end of a small strip mall and in front of the Lowe's Home Improvement store. This was perfect for us because we needed to stop in there as well.On the end of the building we could see a nice outdoor seating area complete with plants and decorations. We entered the building and saw the sign stating they would seat us. The young lady began walking us to the outdoor area but because it was pretty hot outside, we told her we would prefer to sit inside. She chose a vacant booth and provided us menus. Our server stopped and brought us waters as well as a small basket of chips and salsa. We also placed our orders. My wife chose the Ultimate fajitas (steak, chicken and shrimp) with double rice and flour tortillas. I chose the birria pizza, I've heard of birria pizza and was anxious to try it. The chips and salsa were delicious. So delicious in fact that we asked for another dish of salsa because we were really piling it on the warm chips. YUM.The fajitas came out very quickly and were sizzling and huge! In fact, they could easily be shared by two people. My birria pizza arrived a couple minutes later and was also huge. I am normally a traditional pizza connoisseur with red tomato sauce, cheese and pepperoni and other meats on a pizza crust. This appeared similar with the birria and cilantro on top but there wasn't much sauce. I couldn't taste the sauce or really see it. We both enjoyed our meals and would recommend both items. However, many of the menu prices for other items we saw (food and cocktails) seemed rather expensive when compared with other Mexican restaurants in the Triad. We both agreed we would have rather had smaller portions of the items we ordered with a smaller price tag.

Yummy food! and even more yummy drinks! Love coming here for the weekend with friends the ambiance is great for late night drinks.The michelada wasnt my fav however the margaritas are for sure the best. De la casa is the perfect marg. This place reminds me a lot of their sister restaurant mezcalito!

Second time trying this place and it went a lot smoother than last time! We went for dinner again and they got rid of the confusion of order at the counter or at your table. We were seated by a server and everything was order at the table now. They also slightly re-did the menu. We were brought some chips & salsa after we sat down. Chips were warm and crunchy. I wanted to try the tacos this time around, but also have pizza too. And now their menu allows that! They have a dish that's half pizza & half tacos. However, you can only order the pizza & tacos shown on the picture in the menu - birria pizza and tacos al pastor. I wanted to pick a different pizza, but was told that's the only option for ordering this dish. The tacos were great. The tortillas were the best part. They tasted homemade and fresh! The pizza as a whole was okay. The crust was perfect, but the birria was overwhelming mixed with a big meaty dish of the tacos too. The other con of the dish is that the menu didn't advertise the price of it, so we didn't know until getting the check - I believe it was $24.99.Server was nice and brought waters when we needed refills. The music is way too loud in here, so it was difficult to have a conversation. I'd recommend sitting outside. I'm still looking for my go-to dish, so I'd still go here again!

When I tell you this is becoming my fav Mexican restaurant!!! OMG! The birria tacos and the drinks!!! YUMMMM!!

2 stars for prior positive experiences. I ordered the bowl with barbacoa and received nothing but greasy slabs of pure yellow fat. I had never had an issue like this at cielito before so i figured it was a one-off bad batch. I hate to send back food but this was truly inedible and expensive! I respectfully and quietly asked if i could get the meat replaced with a less fatty cut, and the waiter simply smirked (no apology or anything), walked away, then came back shortly with a plate of equally fatty "meat." I accepted it wasnt going to get better. Once we got the bill, we paid with a $100 bill, and the server proceeded to stand at our table inspecting the bill in front of us, and then call the manager over to further inspect the bill for an unnecessarily extended period of time, IN FRONT OF US. Incredibly disrespectful and rude. Needless to say we were very disappointed with the food and customer experience and won't be returning.

After an afternoon of drinks down the road at Red Oak, we stopped by Cielito at the recommendation from some friends. When I heard Birria Pizza, I was in. We started with some chips and queso, which were good, wish there were a little more chips to come with the order though. As mentioned, when I heard Birria pizza I knew I had to order it. The pizza as a whole was good. The Birria meat was great, tender and full of flavor. The crust itself was leaving more to be desired. Not much flavor and a little too dry for my liking. I'm glad it came with consomé to dip in. My girlfriend got the chicken Machete and this was the star of the meal to me. The homemade corn tortilla was so tasty. Full of chicken and cheese and all the fresh toppings really made this a must get! Over all would highly recommend stopping in if you are in the area!!

Some of the best Mexican food I've had in a minute! I've seen this place from passing and its vibrant colors and gorgeous patio have caught my eye, and decided to try it out today. Went for lunch, and had no wait and friendly service. Sat at the bar, and the bartender was cracking joke with us all of lunch. Checking their yelp, I'Ve seen their crazy and extravagant margaritas, so knew I had to try one! I enjoyed the Cielto Azul and my partner, the Citrus Pineapple Margarita- both delicious and definitely poured with a heavy hand! To eat, I had the Birria Machete which is similar to a quesadilla and it was amazing! Also loved their salsa bar and how heavy they were with the cilantro. Definitely will be coming back to try their Mexican pizzas!
