El Cilantrillo Restaurant - Semoran

Not my first visit here and until I find better stuffed mofongo, it won't be my last. I was craving Modongo with pork and garlic sauce. Their mofongo is the one I think of when I'm craving it. We ordered a beef empanada which was delicious as always. It was a weekday so it wasn't super packed. However if going on a weekend, make reservations. They will ask for a credit card to hold the reservation. I don't like that they ask for a card. This was the first time I experienced this. Our mofongo came out stuffed overflowing in a deep molacete with garlic sauce poured on the plate. The dish is big and enough for two. My only complaint would be the photographer that comes around taking a complimentary photo, then $20 for any other photo's. Ahhhh! I came to a restaurant to chill, not get hit up for extra photos that I didn't ask for. Then it was a hassle to pay because the reader wasn't working so they had to occupy my time figuring out what was wrong. The photographer was super nice, but please. This is stuff they do at theme parks.

We are Puerto Ricans. We went to El Cilantrillo on Saturday November 17th, and we had an amazing experience. The food is great. We all ordered different foods, we were tasting each other's plates and everything tasted incredibly delicious. Karla R. was our server. She was amazing very attentive. And the place was packed!!!! That did not interfere with the quality of each plate that we received and each drink including desert! Let's not forget! For our birthday guest they brought a whole parranda! We loved it. The vibe was amazing! We really enjoyed ourselves.

Fantastic food i had Chuletas Fritas with Arroz Cilantro ...ohh those are big Chuletas (pork chops) so tender and juicy. Rice was tasty. Service was fast, friendly and helpful. Ambiance is cozy this one in Semoran feels small and super cozy . I have been to another one of the 3 locations and rhe biggest one is fantastic as well , i know there is another location sort of smaller one as well and everytime i go is full so.... Oh well. But the semoran one is always fantastic . Does kind of feel like back in PR! Crowded, a bit louder and close to the bar area . You can hear the familiar vibe.

This is a cool place, busy, with friendly people, it's like a Puertorrican version of Applebee's. I may be wrong, don't think too much about that statement. I came in and the place was busy, I had to sit at the bar with a large group. I was hungry so I ordered real food (vs snacks). I got chicken chunks with red beans and rice. I also got an empanada (pastelillo). Everything was good, I got a lot of chicken for a good price but one expensive empanada that can't compete with my neighborhood's COMIDA LATINA place. But everything was pretty good, including the cilantro sauce that made the food taste even better. The people are friendly, in general the prices are good, I already described the vibe, and I will come back for the asopao de pollo.

They have many vegetarian options & are accommodating to make adjustments to dishes. The issue is they use the same equipment to make the vegetarian options. Every time I visit I get very ill. The service is very nice, but the food comes out slow & you don't get table touches. The drinks are light, refreshing, not too sweet, & every one is delicious. The space is clean, but there's no ambiance. My Puerto Rican family loves this spot, so we go often. I don't recommend you go if you have any dietary restrictions. They also do a cute birthday song with a drum.

My husband and I went to El Cilantrillo for dinner on a weekend and once we arrived we were seated immediately. When you walked in there had a singer singing live music and he sounded really good, he also took requests from the audience which was really nice.Our waitress was friendly and got our drink orders really fast considering the place was really busy. All the mojitos we ordered were delicious and complemented our food. For an appetizer we ordered the stuffed plantains with steak and it was delectable. It was the perfect size appetizer for me and my husband and it really opened our appetite.For our main course we shared the Pork Mofongo. First, the size alone is worth the value, it was huge and overflowing from the dish. The Mofongo had plenty of sauce to keep it moist and the pork chunks were packed with flavor. Each bite had a piece of pork in it, needless to say we both were stuffed. For dessert we ordered a flancocho and it was a nice little palate cleanser to end our meal, and the presentation was really cute. I definitely would recommend El Cilantrillo for a date night with a loved one especially with the music and food it was a really good vibe.

I had the pleasure of enjoying dinner & a football game here on Sunday, 12-17-23. The good reviews helped me decide to stop by.I ordered the fried cheese as an appetizer; it came with a guava sauce that the cheese didn't need, but it took the taste to another level. I also ordered the shrimp stew, expecting it to be a small bowl of soup. Marnie was my server and warned me that the stew was big. She did not lie at all. The shrimp stew was delicious, flavorful, and filling. I really wanted to try the flan but I was so full, I couldn't. As I made a dent in my stew, I asked Marnie for a drink menu. The tropical sangria caught my eye, but I went with Marnie's suggestion of the red house sangria. It was so good! Quite strong for wine, but in the best way.They had plenty of screens for both football and basketball games. I noticed a lot of toys and some bikes near the Christmas tree by my table. I'm assuming that they're giving the gifts away. I love those who give back to their community. There were a few parties celebrating birthdays, and I enjoyed the staff's singing and drum playing. I stopped by having a long layover before my next flight. Marnie would check on me without hovering. Also, a server was nice enough to let me charge my phone for a few minutes before I left. Would definitely return the next time I'm in Orlando.

First class service, authentic food and best flavors in Kissimmee Florida. Highly recommend

Amazing! Everything I tried was authentic and delicious. Will certainly go back and recommend. Friendly service, convenient parking, full bar, good music....whats there not to like.

To start, the drinks are 5$??? Unreasonably priced food in regard to its taste. Food tasted greasy and cold. Overall not happy with the place. The server was good and was nice, but the supervisor was a little rude.
