Not sure what the hype is. Food was a bit overpriced and not very good. Had better food at the Bravo supermarket. I was told there was another location that was much better. I wouldn't eat here again. The service was excellent, problem was the food.

Delicious and beautiful food but be ready for a long wait! The place was busy since the food it's so good and made to order so we waited 1 hr to be seated, then after we placed the order we waited for another hour to get the food to our table.

Stopped by for a quick lunch and this location did not disappoint! The food and service are beyond stellar. The atmosphere is welcoming and music is great.
This is my first time to this location and it will not be my last. If you haven't tried this place you need to!

This restaurant is busy because it is so good! Everything is cooked at the moment. It is definitely worth the wait. I had duofongo stuffed with red snapper in a garlic sauce. It was an explosion of flavor in every bite. Highly recommended it!

First time here, we didn't know we had to make a reservation, we did get to dine in but we had to wait like 45 minutes. Once we were seated we were attended right away and the waiter was super nice and attentive to our needs. Food was delicious ????

We went for a trip to Orlando looking for a good Puertorican Restaurant. As I was reading Reviews from different restaurants, I noticed this one is one of the best. I was a litter bit skeptical at first. We came around 11:00 am with my husband and our kids, and we were at the table. Priscilla, one of the best waitresses, was the one who took our order. The food was excellent, the place was family-oriented, and the service was phenomenal. If you go there, ask for Pricilla, she is a unique, humble lady.

First time there Food was amazing but wasn’t impressed with the service. Waitress was VERY slow attending to our table. Never once checked for refill on drinks and took her almost 15 mins after asking for salad dressing while she was doing other things. Took another waiter to come assist us with our needs. Manager approached us about the service and shortly after the waitress who was supposed to be taking care of us came and confronted us. Which was extremely rude. Last time We will ever go to that location on Semoran Blvd in Orlando.

We came to this restaurant over the weekend for a birthday celebration. We all had high expectations but unfortunately, Cilantrillo fell far short of expectations for two key reasons.
The first reason had to do with the music. They had a singer who was singing with backing tracks. Not only was the music so loud that we had to yell at each other to communicate but the singer was also off key for most of the songs. We were just so happy when the singer took a break.
Secondly, while the food presentation was on point, the food itself was not. The meat of the Churrasco Mofongo tasted like it had been boiled in water. The texture was off. The taste was off. And the combination of the meat with the mofongo was too salty. The chicken mofongo was the same thing, way too salted and condimented.
