    Cielito Lindo is hands down the best Mexican restaurant in Vancouver! If you’re looking for real Mexican food — not Tex-Mex — this is the place. Every bite tastes just like you’re in Mexico, and the service is truly unmatched. It’s so important for people to know: this is 100% authentic Mexican cuisine. The place itself is breathtaking — seriously, it feels like you’ve stepped into another world. The vibe is perfect, the music is incredible, and the drinks? I’ve never seen anything like them before — creative, fun, and absolutely delicious. Great friendly staff!!! Cielito Lindo is the kind of place where you eat, drink, laugh, and just feel so good that you don’t want to leave. I already can’t wait to go back!

    Took a long time to get our food ~50 min. Made it hard to get back to afternoon meetings. Little disappointed there was no offer to refill the chips from the appetizers we ordered, to at least tide us over.

    We visited this restaurant to celebrate a friend’s birthday, having made our reservation weeks in advance. While the food we were able to try was excellent, the service—and subsequent customer service—was extremely disappointing. Although we arrived just seven minutes late, I received a call at 7:33 PM asking if we still wanted our table. Once seated, we were placed in the very back near the bathrooms. It took at least 10 minutes before anyone came to take our order, and we had to flag someone down. When our appetizers arrived, there were no napkins, plates, or cutlery, requiring us to ask again. A couple of us ordered mezcal margaritas. While the first round was fantastic, the second was noticeably different—it lacked the signature smokiness of mezcal and tasted like low-grade tequila with lime from a plastic bottle. We politely brought this to the attention of our server and the individual who identified herself as the manager. Both assured us it was mezcal, but it clearly was not. We weren’t looking for a free drink; we simply wanted to provide honest feedback. Similarly, someone at our table ordered a 9-ounce glass of wine but was served a significantly smaller pour. When questioned, the server insisted it was correct. When the server checked on our meal, we shared that while the food was excellent, the service had been frustrating. We had been looking forward to this experience but felt let down. Instead of acknowledging our concerns, both the server and manager returned to tell us we didn’t have to pay. That was never our intention—we dine out regularly and have no issue paying for quality food and drinks. Our feedback was meant to highlight service issues, but it was met with defensiveness. We were then told we were being "hostile," which was completely uncalled for. At that point, we decided to leave. The owners of this restaurant should consider better training in hospitality. A great meal means little when the service doesn’t match.
