Came to Cielito on a Monday night and was seated right away with a reservation for 5 people. The place was pretty empty but they only have a few large tables for big groups. The drinks here were good and the food was okay. Some of our entrees were a bit cold since they were left on the serving counter when waiting for the other dishes to finish, they should really get heating lamps! I enjoyed my chilaquiles however, they were cooked perfectly. I’d come back for some smaller dishes in drinks and would recommend others to do the same!

Food and beverage were excellent! Service was excellent too. However, we did spend almost 2 hours at the restaurant on a Monday evening. You can tell everything is fresh and made to order with quality ingredients, so it’s worth waiting the extra time. Just know that if you’re pressed for time, this may not be the best place to quickly get in and out.

Cielito has very friendly staff and nice decor, making for a pleasant atmosphere despite the small space. It’s cold by the door so keep that in mind. The cocktails were a highlight—both the margarita and Paloma were flavorful and well-balanced.
We started with the shrimp empanada, which was tasty and cooked well, but the filling was sparse. For the price, we expected it to be more generous. For dinner, we tried the pork entrée and the prime rib, each priced at $35. While the food was good, it didn’t feel worth the high price. Way too expensive. The short rib, in particular, was very fatty, which was disappointing.
Overall, it was an average experience. While the drinks were great, the food and prices didn’t live up to expectations.

Solid Mexican food (beautifully styled) in a nice space with solid service. Recommend you stick with the taco menu for better value.
Maybe missing home (AZ) after a week in Providence, went to find some Mexican food. While different than our normal Sonoran fair in AZ, we thought this place looked awfully good.
We started with guac and tostadas. Loces the crispy, fresh tostadas, and the guac was obviously fresh. It was a slightly under-seasoned.
I had the Arrachera Campesino (essentially Carne Asada with the usual trimmings). My wife had the chuleta de puerco, and my daughter ordered off the much lower priced taco menu – birria and carnitas.
Every plate noticeably well plated, neat, colorful, and artistic.
My carne asada was a solid effort. It was mildly under-seasoned, and the tortillas, while pleasantly fresh, also lacked any seasoning and were under for my preference.
My wife’s pork chop was nicely cooked, seasoned aggressively, and heavily smoked. The result was a nice tasting and tender pork chop, but flavor was very reminiscent of eating sausage (smoke + salt). Good, but again, left a little to be desired for the price.
My daughter turned out to be wisest one. Her birria tacos were probably the best thing on the table. The carnitas were also done extremely well.
Service was pleasant and competent throughout.
Overall, it was solid, but the entrees didn’t quite blow us away, at a pretty high price point. Would definitely repeat, but would stick with the simpler (and more reasonably priced) taco menu.

Amazing staff, incredible food, great vegetarian options, and phenomenal drinks. The tres leches with Abuelita’s chocolate is to die for. I’ve been a few times and they never disappoint

Birria taco and gordita was cery fresh, like homemade. Margaritas and horchata were delightful.

Food was good, but it took an hour and reminding the staff we had ordered for them to actually make it. For context we got 2 burritos and 2 appetizers and tacos. We were going to a show at PPAC and figured an hour and a half was more than enough time (given the theater is steps away) after the food came an hour after we ordered the server dodged us and didn’t take any accountability for the very obvious mistake she made. Really disappointing service, we certainly won’t rush back.

I had a fantastic meal at Cielito today. The Esquites and Pozolito were exquisite, with many dishes beautifully showcasing the rich flavors of corn. The ambiance was warm and inviting, creating a comforting sense of home. Service was impeccable. The Mole Rojo was beautifully rich. I would also recommend the Tres Leches to anyone who visits.

The food was incredible—it truly stood out compared to the typical commercial Mexican menus around the city. It reminded me of home, so comforting, and the flavors were amazing. The drinks were just as impressive; I highly recommend the cantaritos. Plus, the playlist was spot on, perfectly curated. Diego really went above and beyond, treating us to the best hospitality.

The interior of the restaurant is cozy and inviting. However, the lunch menu options are quite limited. I decided to try the most expensive dish on the menu, which came with shaved steak, onions, fried rice, eggs and plantains. While the dish was well-prepared, the flavors felt rather plain, and the overall presentation lacked variety and vibrancy.
