text: We love Cilantro TacosnnEverything is home made well in a restaurant yes but you can tell your dinner is the product of hundreds of years of tradition This is food of countless abuelitas making the best of what they have and making it incrediblennFirst their chipotle salsa is amazing I have lost track of how many times we have stopped in just to get a couple containers I seriously need someone to decode its secrets for me My wife typically does not eat spicy food but she loves loves loves this stuffnnThey offer some stuff that is hard to find elsewhere Alhambres is a mixture of grilled fresh chiles cheese avocado and the meat of your choice I could not stand not knowing what the word meant but it sounded incredibly familiar for some reason so a quick Googling revealed that it means wirennas in the wire you would use to cook a shish kabobnnOne of their rotating specials is also a named after metal and shows the sense of pride in tradition In this case it is a giant piece of steel A farm implement precisely the disco discadannThis is another mixture of a little of this a little of that that probably developed as a way to utilize leftovers Bite sized bits of beef ham sausage hot dogs were they hot dogs If they were then GOOD I do not care chorizo pork chiles etc all cooked individually in a mixture of broth and beer then mixed upnnTraditionally it is cooked in a plow disc the disco that has lost its usefulness welded shut and often with a lip added Often the greatest things come purely from necessity and using all of your available resources nnI can understand why they do not offer this every day It is so very good but it must take quite awhile to prepnnCilantro Tacos also offers a Taqueria platter which would be great for a family or group It is a pound or two of meat and all the setup needed for a group to make tacos Fantastic option for family style diningnnThe staff is always very friendly and the food is always very goodnnnI hesitate to NOT give them five stars but it is those damned authentic chairs that keep it from being as good as it gets for me They are wooden straight backed and just not entirely comfortable for a long time They look like they are built to survive many many drunken brawls in a dusty border cantina from the s nnIf only I could give stars I certainly woodnnsorry
