Cilantros Grill & Cantina - Van Wert, Ohio

What a pleasant surprise as we drove thru town on a weekend trip. Cilanto's service was fantastic, the restaurant clean and welcoming, and the food was great. The kid's menu was perfect and our kids loved it. The fajitas was very large and easily shared with two adults. My 8yr old son said, "It's blazing good."

Decided to vist after doing some trick or treating with my family and sister in law. I really liked the food and the atmosphere. Got the Gigantic Burrito and it didn't disappoint! The service was good, waiter checked on us often but not too much.

Prices seemed reasonable. The lunch menu was nice. Cheaper prices but good portions. I will definitely be visiting again when in the area!

(Peppers didn't come with, wife didn't want hers 😉)

The place is a beautiful use of space. The look is contemporary Mexican restaurant. With all due respect we are over 1400 miles from Mexico, in my opinion the menu is very bland. Prices seem to be in line with average casual dining. Unfortunately the wait staff left something to be desired. We wanted margaritas as you do...which was not on the menu. When asked the waiter said on the back of menu. Which they were not. Then I asked him to show me...he pointed at bottled beer list.
If someone else is paying I would go back. This ace is not bad just disappointing.
2 medium margaritas and the cheapest nachos was $26

The shrimp tacos are incredible!!!!
My husband and I just returned. We had good service and were seated immediately, even on a Friday night. I got tilapia and black beans with super moist rice. My husband got a new meal that had all different kinds of meat in it including moist chicken, seasoned shrimp, and even hamburger. We also got churiso with queso on top and spent $45. We left full and still have leftovers.

Walking in we were blown away by how big the place is. Lots of seating and spacious tables and booths, which is important when we bring in our children (it's no fun to be crammed into a booth). We were started off with tasty chips and probably the freshest tasting salsa I have had in a while. (and perfectly chunky!) I always have a hard time choosing what to order at similar restaurants with huge menus and combo plates that kind of all end up tasting the same. I went with the Special Plate because I wanted to try it all. I was not disappointed! Wow! First of all, the plate was hilariously huge - but also every single thing on that plate was delicious! My husband ordered the enchiladas reales and was impressed too. He especially loved the cheese sauce. Our server (Wilmer, I believe?) was great too. Overall, we were very pleased with our date night choice and will be back with the whole family.

Beginning to end the worst experience with Mexican food. Not one person was friendly from the person who sat us, the lady who dropped off our chips, our server Alaina, and guy who checked us out.
The food was flavorless and the margaritas I had to order an extra shot to make it tolerable. When we asked what our servers favorite dish was she told us that she makes her own food in the back, then proceeded to tell us what other people ordered. Which after eating I realized why she makes her own food. When our waitress did check on us it was like we inconvenienced her. To top it off they placed a bowl onto my food I would be eating, cross contamination, idk where the bottom of that bowl was and now it's touching food that I'm going to eat. The other plate had so much grease from bacon and chorizo but it was flavor?
Needless to say we will not be going back which is sad for a new restaurant.

Excellent food. Some of the best we've had in awhile at a Mexican restaurant. Shrimp were excellent. Staff was friendly.
