Cilantro Tacos

I've come here several times and can say that they are steady with their quality and service. I usually get the the carne asada tacos which are always made perfect. I can say the carne asada tacos had less flavor to them. But my bf got a California Burrito that was incredible that I ended up trading with him. He was a trooper because I truly cherished that burrito. I went full big back activity with the burrito and took the queso that I ordered and just dipped it in there a couple of times. It was an explosion of flavors . You could taste the seasoning in the steak, the fresh pico, cilantro and onions. It all came together beautifully. I have noticed a quality downgrade when ordering tortilla or corn tacos with carne asada, chicken etc. it lacks that kick that the California Burrito provides. All in all, that burrito will be calling my name at night. The meat was tender and the fries inside were the perfect companion. The toppings were fresh and broke through the grease of the fries and the meat was hearty but not too heavy. The queso is addicting and I couldn't put it down. They were certainly generous with the bag of chips that come with it. Me thing I've noticed every time I eat is that the water tastes weird . I had their lemonade and it had the strangest after taste. I would say they don't offer much drink options but maybe getting a Jaritos or bringing your own drink is a safe bet. This visit we couldn't sit inside since they were packed. It's a small place and I think 4-5 tables inside. It was pretty cold outside and I didn't want to sit outside and freeze my toes so I ate in my car. I wish that they had more space but I noticed that most people come in and order out. Good thing to keep in mind though if wanting to order and eat at the establishment , if it's a busy time then you're out of luck.

I have passed by this place dozens of times in Tioga, however since it was Cinco de Mayo - of course tacos are obligatory. My friend called in to see the wait time and thankfully it was less than an hour. That was a great wait time in comparison to other restaurants in town that were up to 3 hours! When arriving, it was slammed, which was to be expected on a Friday and a holiday. However, we decided to order our food to dine in at the outdoor seating. Once glancing over the menu, there is a great selection of entrees and several options for your tacos. From seafood to chicken to steak to even great veggie options, there's definitely something for everyone. I decided to order 3 tacos - hard shell, one chicken, one shrimp, and one fish. I decided to get all the fixings - lettuce, tomato, cheese, onions, sour cream - and added limes, pickled and fresh jalapenos. In addition, I was eying the agua fresca once we were greeted at the cashier. I went with the mango agua fresca and opted in for the dried chilli mango candy inside of the drink. This was the perfect amount of sweet and tangy from the chilli. It was giving mangonada vibes. The wait time honestly was maybe 20-25 minutes - which was great for my hungry belly. Out of the 3 tacos, I would order the shrimp and fish again. The shrimp were huge and very juicy. The fish was blackened and very well seasoned. The chicken fell flat for me. It was very salty and a little rubbery. My friend ordered chips and guac and it was very fresh and delicious. I love their variety of salsas which was great compliments to the chips and tacos. Definitely will be back to try out their other entrees and taco options!

Best tacos in Gainesville by far. I love the service and ambience here, but I wish there was more seating inside! I love Cilantro Tacos!

I finally decided to try this place based on all the good reviews and I must say I got disappointed. Maybe the quality has come down or what, but everything I got was bland and overpriced.I was surprised to see families with kids dining inside with all the smoke in the air. Not exaggerating the air quality inside was terrible. I like to put lime juice on my tacos and when I asked for some extra limes the staff wasn't happy about it and they put bunch of sliced jalapeños in my bag instead! Don't think I'd go back again.

Excellent food, the lunch rush gets crazy! AllowTime for the order to get filled, or get there right out side of primetime.Worth the wait regardless.

Been here a few times now and never really been blown away. I've tried a variety of meats and have yet to figure out my order. The best meat in my opinion is the carnitas, which are fantastic. The chicken is not great, and the fish and shrimp are just okay. Next time I will order a bowl, as the corn tortillas fall apart by the time the food reaches the table. I'm not sure if this is a recent change, but the prices are very high for what you get. $11-15 for three tacos at a casual taco joint is a little high. This doesn't even include salsa which you have to pay extra for. Comparing to other places nearby, I can get a big bowl of food from other places for less expensive.

I found a long dark hair in my burrito. My daughter found a roach in her taco. I will never go there again.

Very yummy tacos , probably the best, the prices are a little high but I would said when you want quality tacos, this is the place. Fresh food. And great selection of Mexican beverages.

I love this local restaurant! I haven't been here and quite some time but it's still good as ever. This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Gainesville. On this time in I had the California steak burrito and it was so good. Anytime you can get fires in your burrito, you're in a good space. I also liked the mango drink with my burrito and it was very good. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good Mexican food.

I throughly enjoyed my experience here. I assumed it was a run of the mill "Tex-mex blah". No. BETTER.I had the barbacoa quesidilla, fully loaded with a large mango juice. The beef was so rich the sides of sour cream and verde thoroughly complimented. Our table of two, we normally talk and discuss the food or the travel thus far--faces were stuffed to content
