Cielito Lindo Mexican Grill & Cantina — Restaurant in Osceola

Ok so where do I start? We stopped at the place bc we have been from Texas and on the way to Illinois, we are into Trucking and this was just on the way and had a store across the street to park the big truck so it was convenient and we was hungry and my husband loves Mexican food. We get there and got seated as soon as we got there and our drinks, chips and salsa right away but then the guy walked away before we could get a cheese dip. So when the guy came back we ordered the cheese dip and he got it. So as we was sitting there I was getting ate up by mosquitos and I told the guy he said ok and walked away as if he didn't care I couldn't even sit there and eat chips or the cheese dip so needless to say the cheese dip got wasted, we went on and placed the order and the whole time we waited I constantly was getting ate up so I was just ready to go, then he brings the order out and my order was wrong so he took it back made it and put it in a to go box bc as soon as he brought the food we asked for to go boxes. So we asked to talk to the manager as we was leaving and turns out our server was the manager! 🤦‍♀️ He said there was nothing to do about it bc it's the area. Umm we travel the world and I ain't ever went into somewhere to eat and get covered with 40 mosquito bites as soon as we sat down in about 20 minutes. It was awful and as we left out we was walking back across the parking lot to go back to the truck to eat in peace free of mosquitos and the have a squished goffer rat dead in the parking lot 🤮 it disgusted me so $50 worth of food wasted 😭 1 st thought was I'm itching like crazy 2nd thought was that dead squished rat had me disgusted and where it came from the restaurant or their hotel? they probably have a feast in the restaurant after closing time and 3rd was they probably done something to my food for having it sent back for being wrong in the first place! Will not be back and definitely don't recommend it unless u want to be ate up by mosquitos or if you want to eat a place who cares bout their...

Traveling from STL and this was Super convenient since it's walking distance to from hotel. First thing I noticed was it was super clean, social distancing was definitely enforced and everyone seemed pretty happy to work there. We were greeted by all the workers in sync, it was pretty cool actually. We were seated in a specified area for those wanting to indulge in an alcoholic beverage, which again was awesome! We were given a menu and offered chips and salsa with an option to add cheese sauce. We ordered their Rainbow Margarita for starters, which by the way was strong af and delicious 😋. Hubby ordered the Steak Mexican but added grilled shrimp and cheese sauce on top-i ordered the shrimp chimichanga....soo the food comes and it looks delicious! My hubby is straight bashin', but he hates when he orders steak and they don't ask how he likes it cooked! The first bite of chimichanga was tasty, second was 😋 But the third I decided to dip in the sour cream garnished on my plate w/guacamole, beans and lettuce. Let me tell you guys, this s$#% had to be spoiled!!! I nearly threw up in my mouth, seriously-i spit it all out and smashed the rest of my margarita as well as the shrimp inside my burrito. Check the expiration dates bruh, you guys really messed me up with this...

It's probably the best Mexican in the area of this small town. The atmosphere was nearly nonexistent with the faint sounds of music. The staff was quick and adequate but far from being welcoming. We were served the complimentary tortilla chips and salsa along with 1 small bowl of a bean and beef soup. Since there were 2 of us I'm not sure why they only gave us 1. The salsa and soup were good and had a nice spiciness to it. I ordered the tacos al pastor which was just that. No rice or beans to accompany it. My dad ordered a taco salad with beef. My tacos were okay and had a little blandness to it. My dad's taco salad ended up looking a bit soupy at the end. He didn't finish it. Overall it was an unremarkable experience. I was surprised there were no tortas options there. Probably not a place I'd go again when traveling...
