I was instantly captivated by this place because of the chairs - they’re exactly the same style as my grandparents’! As soon as I stepped inside, it felt like I’d entered a cozy family room with warm lighting and a welcoming atmosphere. I couldn’t wait to see the dishes that my grandma makes so frequently. I tried the fish tacos and enchiladas, the tortillas were fresh and the flavors were spot-on. The chips and salsa were absolutely perfect ! I was blown away by how quickly all the food came out. Overall, this place is a great spot for a fun and delicious meal.

Had an amazing experience, we had a large party and the service was amazing! The waitress and the waiters went out the way to keep are drinks filled, make sure food was good, and any other accommodations that were needed they took care of.

I love a good tequila so I stop in often after getting treatments at Skin Spirit next door. I wish they had burritos on the menu, but the tacos are really good and they have a nice selection of tequila. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, can get a little loud at times, but overall it’s one of my favorite spots to stop and have a drink in the area.

I actually stumbled onto Cielito while driving through Danville and noticed it as we passed by. Since that first visit, we have returned several times and it is always delightful. The service is excellent, even when busy, and I think the food is great. For larger parties, reservations are a must, especially on weekends. I can’t recommend one specific dish since everything I’ve tried is very good though I haven’t dug too deep into the drink menu yet. I’m sure those are good too. One particular night we went with a large group of friends and I told the waiter I didn’t want to be weird, but I thought he smelled really good. I guess just telling him made it weird but he didn’t ask me to leave so that is a win. Michael Delehanty Compass Real Estate
