Cielito Lindo - Vonore

Excellent service and delicious food! The margaritas are crafted with care. There's ample seating available for larger groups.

The atmosphere was pleasant, and the bar had a great selection. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. I ordered the fajita steak chimichanga along with a 32 oz Dos Equis for just $23. While I would have preferred it to be fried a bit longer, and I wasn't a big fan of the cheese sauce, overall, it was a satisfying meal. I would definitely come back to eat here again.

Coming from a CA town with 15 Mexican places to choose from, I was obviously skeptical about the one Mexican restaurant in Vonore. After going several times, it is safe to say Cielito Lindo fills the void. The curb appeal is unassuming being in a strip mall, but the inside is bright and colorful, reminiscent of an Old Town, San Diego restaurant. The salsa is chunky with a bit of heat. The meat (chicken, carnitas, beef, even shrimp) is well cooked and usually well seasoned. The sides look and taste pretty typical. I would avoid the white sauce, as it is way too thick and creamy to really be considered a queso, and usually overpowers whatever dish it's on. The service is hit or miss. You will either get a server who is extremely attentive or one who wants to usher you right out the door. Overall, not a bad place for no other nearby options.

The real deal in Mexican food! The carnitas tacos were amazing.. tender flavorful meat, grilled tortillas pico de Gallo, fresh avocado pickled jalapeño! The chicken arroyo special was fantastic.. the amount of moist chicken was amazing. Will try the molcajete next visit. Like a visit to Mexico City!

This is the best Mexican restaurant in the area! The staff is amazing too! The decor is vibrant and full of fun colors. We visit about once a week because it’s such a great experience, and the food is both delicious and affordable.
