Cilantro Mexican Grill 5 Points

I have not eaten here only came in for margaritas. The happy hour is good $5.00 margarita's and they are delicious especially if you add a shot of top shelf tequila!

This place is great for any occasion the food is great and the service is good Margaritas are delish

Poor service. No manager present. Limited staff that speak English. Food is subpar. Ambience is nice, if they clean the tables. Maybe this was a bad day for them, but I doubt I'll be back.

Cilantro is our favorite Mexican restaurant in Nashville! The servers are quick and friendly, the chips and salsa never stop flowing. The outdoor patio is a great option if you'd like to enjoy the nice summer weather. Our margaritas were HUGE and so yummy! They definitely didn't make them weak either :) I ordered the Pollo Fundido, and it was just so cheesy and delicious, I never wanted it to end. Hopefully next time we have room for dessert!

Don't eat here. They cheat their employees. Per Business Insider:Two Nashville, Tennessee restaurants were ordered to pay nearly $271,000 to servers who were forced to illegally share their tips with dishwashers, the Department of Labor said.Cilantro Five Points Inc., the operator of Cilantro Five Points Mexican Grill and Tequila Bar, and Cilantro Restaurant, asked servers to give $5 of their tips to dishwashers on Friday and Saturday nights, the DOL's Wage and Hour Division said in a press release on Friday.

Once again, Yelp reviews prove to be more accurate than the slutty-easy-to-please Google reviewers who ecstatically rate anything edible dumped from a can and heated in the microwave with 4+stars. Rant over.We were looking for Mexican food near our airbnb and this was the only one open for sit down dining on Sunday with a decent vegetarian menu so we checked it out.The vegetarian quesadilla looked good until we saw a picture with broccoli poking out of it like an unwelcomed unfortunate wardrobe malfunction at a drag brunch. No one wants to see broccoli in a quesadilla. Clearly not a traditional Mexican dish. So my veggie friend orders the taco salad, just assuming it would be - you know - a salad with lettuce. Oh but low and behold that broccoli shows up in that dish too. WHO. Puts. broccoli. In a TACO SALAD?!? Mios Dios.Our non-veg friend ordered the Texas burrito which comes with shrimp, destroy-the-planet beef and chicken but our dear eco-concious friend requested all chicken. Well they got her order wrong and it took a while to correct. Thank goodness we were still drunk from 3 days of Bachelorette partying and had our guacamole and salsa and chips so we were vibing. OMG- The chucky guacamole was the highlight of the meal for me! It was perfect. Def get the chunky guac. I ordered the hongos tacos which were filled with mushroom, sautéed onions, guacamole and corn and enough oil to moisturize the hair of at least one fried beach-blonde out there shuffling from bar-to-bar on Broadway. So the food is A-okay. It is aver Certainly not 4+ stars. It was also annoying that a place that advertises as a tequila bar was out of every flavor of margaritas except for mango, strawberry and kiwi (gag). FYI- the mango margaritas aren't from real fruit it's a mix so be careful what drink you order if you care about that stuff. This poor frazzled waitress who just needed to go home like hours ago took good care of us considering she appeared to be the only server on a very busy night. She perfectly split our bill too. Ashley, I think was her name and she deserves that Employee of the frggin month complete with a front door V-VIP parking space after that hellacious shift.

People need to chill out with the reviews. The ambiance is great its not too loud Great place for a beer and something to eat, great price for the food and drinks staffs awesome. The bar is huge always have sports on never too loud where you cant hear your friend.

Food was nasty, it was like they threw a can of tomato sauce all over my food. Waited forever and when I finally got my order my food was cold.

I've known the original location on 8th avenue for almost 6years and now started coming to the east nashville location, whomever the older heavy set gentleman was cornering and harassing my nephew sitting a few seats down from me asking how old he was instead of talking to me directly it deeply offended me. It almost appeared racial-- there was no other people that were mixed in the establishment. Or maybe it could be because I appear Gay, and of all weekends, Pride weekend. Hmmm. My nephew is a minor and as a grown adult many times over it appeared very purposeful considering even upon entry the heavy set older gentleman was very rude and very unfriendly to myself and guest. Very against the Cilantro atmosphere at least different from the 8th avenue location. I think maybe an attitude check should be had on whomever this gentleman was. I've never experienced this type attitude or behavior. Do better. Please. Your food is great and so is the service from the wonderful servers but this gentleman could do better.

Zero stars paid 50 dollars and I regret every penny of it food is nasty and a lot of water
