Don't let their location fool you! Yes it's located right in the "food court" of Santee Alley. Hole in the wall you'd say. Yes! But don't let that stop you! Food court stand but their presentation and food was 10/10. The workers were jolly and they're fast. Looking at yelp prior to going I would have never thought it was a food court spot I was fooled I thought it was a stand alone restaurant lol. Especially their "for here" eating plates. We did Togo. They load their tacos up with protein and their carne asada fries. Everything tasted fresh and not greasy or overwhelming. They had a habanero salsa that I loved. I like spice!!! Side note: keep your receipt if you decide to use the food courts restroom. They have a facility lady waiting to collect a dollar fromYou to use the bathrooms if you're not a dinning customer. Lol odd, but yeah! Also, parking is just street parking or garage parking. We were fooled and saw a $3 sign for parking. Pulled in and it was told $3 for the first 10mins then $20 after that for all day. Like really? Hahah they hustled us but again we didn't have to roam too much for parking.

I honestly wish this place had its own location because I think they'd explode their business. They have good social media and that's how most people find themselves in this oddly hidden food court; seriously, you'd never just stumble upon this place. With their quality food, great hidden menu (most of them are the social media darlings) and top notch customer service I know they'd excel out on their own.The Birria pizza and Birria breakfast muffin are so good and filling, but I've not had one thing on their menu. I didn't enjoy.The food court is nice, quiet, clean and recently remodeled, but there are still many spots awaitingNew restaurants to open.

Cilantro Lime's kitchen may be in the tiny corner of a food court. But that kitchen is mighty with Mexican flavors and inventive dishes. This eatery is a DTLA must for my boyfriend and I any time we are out there. Leo and the kitchen crew's hospitality is far beyond phenomenal. It's feels like I'm going to my tio's house for a meal. They have a regular menu but their instagram has a secret menu. Today we went with our favorites for my birthday, birria breakfast muffin, birria breakfast burrito, lastly chicken & waffles. The dinning area is spacious and Leo serves everyone with a smile. I am truly happy that his business is expanding. I say if you're near the Alley in DTLA definitely Treat Yourself to Cilantro Lime!

Leo was great ! So friendly and explained the menu to me since I couldn't decide what to eat ! Service is everything to me. It's located in the heart of the fashion district . Total casual dining in the food court.Pretty excited about the "Lets Grub Tacos" with the shell made out of cheese and your choice of meat.Also ordered rolled taco special with a drink.Reasonable pricing and great for on the go dining.

Located behind Santee Alley in a food court. Their famous birria pizza was good. The trash can nachos were my favorite.

The service is nice and they have a secret menu that is only online. But I have to say, the food is too heavy and not very unique in taste. It's okay, but not some place I would recommend per se. I feel bad and want to give 5 stars, but this was just an average place and seems overhyped.

This hidden gem is located inside of a food court. I've been here a handful of times and I'm never disappointed. My usual order are the Chicken Tinga Flautas which can be shared. The flavor is phenomenal and pairs extremely well with all of their house salas. They also include some complimentary chips. Today I tried the Chicken Tinga Grilled Cheese and I was amazed. They use a Texas Toast and even wrap it in cheese for a nice crunch. The cheese pull was real and I highly recommend trying it. My brother always orders the Birria and he absolutely loves it. The owner is awesome, always professional & informative This is the ONLY VENDOR in the food court that brings your food to you and busses your table. Their service is outstanding. If your ever in the fashion district, definitely give them a try!!!

Tried this place for the first time for lunch delivery, and it was great! I had chicken street tacos and chicken tortilla soup. The street tacos were really good. The salsas and sides (I got rice and salad) were good too. My favorite part was the soup though! It was amazing! This place is like a hidden gem in DTLA. Food is flavorful and has a homey legit feel to it. Would recommend trying it!
