I am so sad to see the most recent negative comments for Cielito as it is my favorite place to go. I wonder if it was an off night. I do have to say that the prices for the food are steep and service has been a bit off at times but the food has always been great and our experience has never been to the extend of the comments below. Our favorite appetizer is the Molotitos, I love everything with epazote! And my favorite dish is the chile verde. The meat is so tender, and it's just delish! They are so accommodating and add an extra kick as I do like my food spicy! I hope people give this place a try despite the negative comments. I always have a good time there. One of my favorites!

Had date night a Cielito last night 8/16 and we were blown away by everything! We were welcomed by friendly staff and were seated right away despite of how busy they were! There were several large groups celebrating birthdays and the Cielito staff went to each group singing happy birthday and bringing what I believe were churros. The place was loud but not unbearable, just busy. The kitchen, one of my favorite parts, was right by the entrance and open so you could see the magic that goes to make the meals. Everyone was so concentrated and the chef, Osvaldo, looked like he had everything under control. Truly fascinating seeing them work, I wish I would have taken a picture!
At our table, we were quickly served chips and salsa, water, and our waiter quickly followed to take our drink orders. Our two person table was a bit over crowded with a little lamp and succulent but they were able to take that away and it all worked out. For appetizers we had the tostaditas with ahi tuna and they were so good! My partner is very picky with his food and he loved his sopitos de tinga. When he can eat, it means the food is great! For our meals I ordered the special, nopales rellenos de carne. Castus leaf with steak and a red sauce that I can't remember what the name is but it was really good. He got the steak plate and killed it! The meat was so tender. Oh and the rice and beans were to die for! We finished the night with flan - delsih!
We were very please with the service from start to finish. For how packed the place was, everyone seemed happy, having a great time. I want to give a big shout out to the chef as we were very pleased with our entire meal and came quick and hot! The bar tender for great drinks, my favorite was La Llorona. The floor manager (i think), Daniel, who was everywhere and had the place running smoothly. And though all the servers, buss boys, etc were on top of their game, I have to say Esmeralda was amazing. She was personable and quick. Checking in on all her tables regularly and made the experience that much better.
We got to Cielito at 7:30 pm and left right around 10 pm. We took our time, enjoyed ourselves, and will definitely be coming back to Cielito.
P.s. I am that weird person who asks for people's names

Came here on a Tuesday - they did have a special for taco Tuesday, blackened salmon tacos. No deal on the price but I went ahead and got them anyway. Two tacos were 14.95 and then I added beans and rice for $7. Bf got the enchiladas suizas.
The chips and salsa was good pretty standard.
My tacos were okay the salmon was a small filet but wasn't super flavorful and the black beans that came on the tacos overpowered the taste of the salmon. For the second taco of my order I took the beans off which allowed me to taste something else but I wouldn't say that salmon flavor shined through. They were decent enough but I'd probably try something else next time.
Bfs enchiladas were small but good he liked them well enough.
For dessert we ordered churros. The churros came with caramel and chocolate both sauces were good the churros were okay the outside was cooked nicely but the inside was doughy like they were cooked on too high of heat so that the outside cooked but the inside didn't idk they were OKAY.
All in all I'd go back and try some other items it's a nice place and the service was really good so I'd go give another try.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Disappointing Experience
My visit to Celitos was beyond disappointing. Firstly, we found multiple hairs in our food, which completely ruined our appetite and made us question the hygiene standards in the kitchen.
Moreover, the front desk was unattended upon arrival, forcing us to wait for 10 minutes just to be seated. This lack of organization and customer service was frustrating, especially considering the prices charged.
To top it off, the evening was meant to be special as we were planning to announce a pregnancy to friends. However, the unpleasant dining experience and the waiter was not discreet about our drink order and almost ruined this important moment for us.
Overall, I would not recommend Celitos to anyone looking for a pleasant dining experience. The combination of poor hygiene, inadequate service, and a lack of attention to detail made our visit a complete disappointment.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Savannah thank you for bringing up all this points to our attention. We take hygiene and customer service very serious and Im dissapoited that my team could not rise to the standards we expect for all of our guests, it is unacceptable. On behalf of my team I completely apologize and expect I will address this immediately with my team.

The food is delicious but man, the service was s...l...o...w. The staff is super friendly but the wait to get your food, the wait to get the check, took a long time. We got there at 6:45pm and left at 8:45. It was just me and my husband. Two hours for 2 people was a little too long.
Otherwise the food was really good. The Pescado Del Dia was very tasty. The veggies were plentiful, cooked and seasoned well.
The tacos were all delicious. We ordered carnitas, carne asada, and a fish al pastor.
Beans and rice were also good.
Churros were okay. Crispy outside but the inside batter was mushy and bland.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Aug 7, 2021Previous reviewThis place never disappoints!!! Great service. Delicious authentic Mexican food. Big servings. The cocktails are amazing!
This time we ordered:
Chef's cocktail - spicy kick!
Ceviche de Pescado - I'm so glad they have this ceviche because I'm allergic to shellfish.
Picadillo con Carne - Big plate with tons of beans!
Chiquito salad - my favorite salad. Lightly dressed and so pretty.
Pollo Pibil Flauta - I always order this. It's topped with pineapple salsa and cabbage. So good!
Carne Asade Tacos - another delicious staple
Enchilada con Pollo - Yummers!
Churros - Homemade goodness
All delicious.Feb 28, 2021Previous reviewFood is delicious as always. Glad to see this restaurant able to operate during Covid and have outdoor seating.
Drinks came out quickly. Food came out slow. We didn't even get to take our first bite when we were asked how dinner was. Then a few minutes later, we were asked if we wanted anymore "hot food". We didn't. Next thing our check arrived at the table.
Really bummed we didn't get asked if we wanted dessert because I was looking forward to ordering churros. Waiter should have been more specific when he said "hot food."
Really miss Kevin. He was the best waiter there!Oct 24, 2019Previous reviewThe first time I came to Cielito was for a Yelp Elite Event. I was so impressed with the food and the service. The restaurant ambience is also amazing! I felt like I was on vacation in Mexico. I needed to come back and return with friends.
Wow! Just as impressive! We were welcomed with a warm basket of freshly made homemade tortilla chips with a bowl of flavorful salsa. I could eat just this alone!
Our server was Rachel and she was courteous and warm. She recommended some great dishes and also suggested delicious cocktails. I ordered the Fresca - light and fresh, and La Llorona - tangy with a kick. Both drinks were strong and delicious! I would order these drinks again! They have a full bar with also many local beers and wines.
The dishes we ordered were also some of the dishes I had at the Yelp event because they were THAT good!
Chiquito Salad - lightly dressed and I really enjoyed the watermelon radish
Ceviche de Pescado - fresh and tart with a side of chips. Delicious!
Pollo Pibil Flautas - crispy and flavorful. And the pineapple salsa it had on top is amazing!
Pollo Al Pastor and Carne Asada tacos - the tender chunks of meats were deliciously seasoned. So full of flavor and served on homemade corn tortillas! The tortillas alone can be eaten by themselves because they're so good!
Camarones Asados - I can't eat shellfish but the smell of this dish was fabulous!! I did have a taste of the quinoa and wow! Flavorful again and al dente. They really knew how to make quinoa shine!
I wish we had more time to eat and stay but this was just a quick visit. I'll be back again with my family so we can try the desserts and more entrees.
However, I would also like to leave my comments about the food we had at the Yelp event which is why I came back. I would order all these dishes again:
Guacamole - freshly prepared and flavorful. So good with their homemade chips
Pescado Al Pastor - the fish is fresh, and cooked al pastor style. Very good.
Carnitas - tender and delicious. Almost as good as what my father-in-law makes. Haha.
Chicken Mole - Wow! This dish is amazing!
Churros - freshly made because all the pieces are different sizes. Comes with chocolate and dulce de leche dipping sauces
What I like a about Cielito is they are a farm-to-table establishment and locally sourced. Their ingredients are fresh! - Monserrat M.Oakland, CA1160188Aug 7, 20241 check-in

This is an awesome Mexican restaurant in Danville. The place has a nice decor and a welcoming vibe. We came here on a Sunday around 12:00 and enjoyed their breakfast menu. Everything was delicious. I had the pescadero al pastor (fish tacos) and they were really fresh and flavorful. I also loved their corn elote, which is grilled corn with crema and cheese. Hubby had the carnitas hash, which he also enjoyed. Overall a great brunch spot.

Cielito Cocina Mexicana in Danville is a delightful Mexican restaurant and bar that offers a wide selection of alcohol and an impressive array of wines. My partner enjoyed one of their seasonal cocktails, a guava margarita, which she found delightful. The freshly made chips, salsa, and guacamole were a perfect start to our meal. The lively ambience, complemented by beautiful Latin music, made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Our server, Jorge, was friendly and informative, providing great recommendations and ensuring our drinks were always refilled.
We ordered the Camarones a la Diabla, which were bursting with flavor, and the Aji Tuna Tostadas, which, despite being bite-sized, were completely packed with delicious flavor. Despite being in the middle of nowhere, this was my first visit to Danville, and Cielito Cocina Mexicana has given me a great reason to return.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Apr 20, 2024
After a fun playground visit with our darling granddaughter (and parents), we proceeded to Danville for brunch at Crumbs. As the place was busy (and with an hour wait), we walked across the street to Cielito Cocina Mexicana.
CONS - None
PROS
1. Spacious and well appointed interior with lots of light. Our table was more than enough room for 4 adults and 1 active kid.
2. Friendly and attentive service.
3. Large menu with something for everyone, brunch wise. This "farm to table" restaurant is not your neighborhood enchiladas and refried beans place. And although folks expect chips, they could have removed that bowl without taking away from the cuisine.
4. My breakfast Torta was very good. Everyone else enjoyed their selections as well.Helpful 3Thanks 1Love this 6Oh no 1 - Danny N.San Francisco, CA03581193May 11, 2024
We have now been to Cielito Cocina Mexicana twice now. We enjoy sitting in the patio but the inside is also very nice.
The margaritas and drinks are very good. Plenty of parking in the surrounding area too.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
