Cilantro Taco Grill - Arlington Heights — Restaurant in Wheeling Township

Arrived a little after 6:00 pm. Nobody else in the place, still took 30 minutes to get my to go order. 2 taco salads with mild salsa on the side, an order of chillequilles with over easy eggs and a side of pinto beans.... Taco salad shells were half filled at MOST, only a few pieces of iceberg lettuce, and hardly any meat in either one. Chillequilles came with scrambled eggs, not over easy per order. Missing the side of pinto beans AND the mild salsa for the taco salads. If this place were super busy when I was there I would give it another shot. No way is that happening when you mess that many things up and the place was empty.

Beware, the door has all kinds of greasy fingerprints instead of hiding clean windows, clean try's their meals are expensive, might as well go to a restaurant around...

I don’t usually go to Mexican restaurants because since I am Mexican, I tend to be critical of the food I try when out. I ordered a bit of both, tacos were good, but the highlight was the quesabirria tacos with the consomé. Super flavorful, meat was juicy and seasoned right, consomé was a bit oily on top (some people like that) but once I got it off, wow. Cilantro and onion was a fair amount. Amazing! Will be back and tell others to try. Glad to have decent Mexican in Arlington Hts. Plan on trying more of the menu. Love the decor and pictures celebrating the people that...
