Cilantro

It is the mission of Tina and I to eat at every Mexican restaurant in New York City, starting with the Upper West Side. Cilantro, our choice this evening, was not bad. Simple touches, like plantain chips mixed in with the standard complimentary basket of tortilla chips with salsa, was a nice touch. Comprehensive magarita selection with various grades of tequilla. Sidewalk dining is an option there, if you like that sort of thing. We do.
