Mexican Restaurant El Cilantro

Very nice people. Quaint atmosphere and authentic, delicious food. Pictured are the steak taquitos and the menudo (beef stomach soup). They serve traditional breakfast dishes as well as lunch/dinner items.They are very attentive to the tables; there are only a handful inside. They said their hours are 11am to 8pm.

This was perfection! The flavors were fantastic. You can tell the owner puts his heart and soul into his food. Our server was attentive and welcoming. Just phenomenal on all levels!

Really authentic mexican food that'll satisfy anyone's cravings. Service is great and prices are affordable!

What a wonderful hidden gem.
The food was delicious and the atmosphere was warm and friendly.
We got our dinners to go, but I am looking forward to dining in next time... Which will be very soon.

My very good friend jose showed me this place this week and it was absolutely amazing!! Loved everything also got a rice water drink him and his wife reccomended was amazing!!

Had high expectations from all of the good reviews. All of those expectations were met. Everything is priced very well. Service and food was great!

Best authentic Mexican restaurant in the Capital District! Wow! Couldn't believe how great the food was and how reasonable the prices are! All dishes are made from scratch with fresh ingredients. Service was excellent! If you enjoy Mexican food, this is a need to go place! I highly recommend! We'll definitely be regular customers! They're just West of 50 and north of Front street. If you're heading north from the Village and see Ocean State Job Lot, you've gone too far! 👍👌😁

The food was amazing and the service was excellent!! We will definitely be back! Authentic Mexican food at great prices!! Everything was made by hand!! My husband had a steak burrito and it looked absolutely delicious (and huge). I had the chicken Mole and it was hands down the best I've ever had!! Stop in and order dinner! You won't regret it!! They serve breakfast too and we can't wait to try that out!!

Fantastic and authentic. Love this restaurant. I highly recommend it.

Absolutely delicious! My husband and I stopped by tonight on our way home and were greeted by smiles and a cozy atmosphere. The staff was attentive and it felt like you were right at home. The authentic food was packed with flavor. I don't have a bad word to say! The dessert of Tres Leches was the best dessert I've had in a long time.

Absolutely amazing food and incredibly friendly staff! Look forward to coming back.

The food here is unlike any Mexican restaurant we've tried in the Capital District. Truly made-from-scratch dishes, many of which I've never tried. For lunch today, I had the chicken pozole- wow! Never had it before, but now it is a favorite. Very attentive waitstaff. Give this restaurant a try- you'll be back.

I am Mexican so I know good Mexican food and this place is amazing! It's very cute and cozy with authentic music playing. The staff were so friendly and accommodating with the best service I've had in a long time. He even offered to make an off menu dish if we called ahead. I mean where else can you go for that kind of service. The food was authentic and delicious! We will definitely be back!

By far the best Mexican food I have found in the area. Authentic and delicious. Every time I come I feel like part of the family. The owner always comes and talks to make sure I am comfortable. He is personable and makes the experience pleasant.

The staff was very friendly and the food came quick. This is the most authentic Mexican food in the Saratoga- Ballston Spa area. Will definitely be going back. You can tell everything is homemade and made fresh. It is a hidden gem for our area.

Best Mexican food in all of Saratoga area. Very authentic Oaxaqueño cuisine. Great service, very friendly and attentive. I have worked as the Chef in the area's busiest Mexican restaurant and I have eaten a lot of Mexican all over the country, from NYC to San Antonio, and this was absolutely one of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever been to. Don't expect to get enchiladas, tacos and fajitas, this is the real deal, very flavorful and filling. I hope this little business does well, I would love to see them grow and I would love to eat here frequently.

Very welcoming place to eat with friends and family. If you want to experience aunthentic mexican food with unique dishes from Oaxaca, this is the place to eat. Great service and the food is delicious. Ask for their spicy salsa if you are into spicy food. They will treat you and make you feel like you are eating at home.

The service was absolutely excellent. Very charming small authentic Mexican restaurant. Food came out faster than chipotle. Priced right and tastes amazing. Will be coming back! Absolutely recommend!

This is a true authentic Mexican restaurant, the owner is from the south of Mexico and prepares dishes from the region. The best tamales, friendly folks and happy to adjust spice to taste. I will be back to find some more homemade food.

As far as mexican food goes I think this is one of my favorite mexican places to eat. They have large portions at a cheap price. The staff is always checking in and is on top of things. They start you off with homemade chips and salsa. The food is delicious. Its location is a little tucked away but you should definitely go out of your way for this one.
