Cilantro opened its first location at East 89th Street in September of 1998. Among its many wonderful features is a rustic, secluded dining room, which leads out to a cozy, romantic garden. The perfect escape from the busy flow of the Upper East Side

Cilantro's boasts large helpings, complimentary Spanish rice, and soft tacos with chunky guacamole, sour cream, and chopped tomatoes that will keep you and your refrigerator stuffed for days. Try the chicken enchilada, wrapped in a blue corn tortilla and smothered in cheese, or the shrimp fajita served on a skewer over onions, green peppers, and radicchio and covered in cilantro for a spicy kick. Like it hot? Go for the spicy habanero wings, the operative word being "spicy."

Cilantro's has great food and exceptionally good atmosphere, an outside seating area, simple but uniquely decorated.

The habanero wings are very good, the nachos are very tasty, as well as the nicoise salad, well executed flank steak, and the sangria is out of this world. In all, great food coupled with warm and attentive service makes this place good spot for second visit.

The fresh watermelon margarita! Is reason enough to patronize this tex-mex joint! Their food is also delicious and reasonably priced... i have never had anything but good results w/their takeout as well. Their fajitas are so plentiful that my boyfriend and I split an order (making it even cheaper!) Viva el Cilantro!!!
