Cielo Mexican Restaurant: Explore Authentic Flavors in Braintree

I was invited out by some coworkers for lunch and this place was suggested and I am glad that it was. It has plenty of parking which is hard to find in the Braintree area and the parking lot and exterior of the buildings very clean as well. When we went in side we were pleasantly greeted and told we could sit where we would like. The interior reflected the exterior in being very clean and nicely decorated . We had our drink order and lunch order taken and I had the California burrito and it was excellent, one of the best burritos I have had in a long time. I will say I did like the salsa but really did not care as much for the tortilla chips, but I don't rate a restaurant on just chips and salsa. Overall it was a very positive experience and I am glad I was able to try this place out as the food and service were on point.

Clean, inviting and friendly space. The employees are always attentive, professional and helpful. The food is delicious, the drinks are good and the salsa is one of the best in the area. The California is absolutely massive and delicious. One of our favorite local spots!

I recently moved into the neighborhood and needed to find my new go-to Mexican spot asap--I'm super excited to say I think I've found it in Cielo! I visited on a Friday night around 6:30 and had no trouble getting a table, by the time we left the place was pretty full, but there was still no line so it doesn't seem like the kind of place where you should expect a long wait. Our server was so nice and definitely on top of things, the food and drinks all came out really quickly too. I'll start by saying Cielo has itself one impressive cocktail list, including at least a dozen different types of margaritas. I opted for the Habanero Pineapple margarita and really enjoyed it. That type of flavor can definitely be a risk--there's nothing worse than an overly sweet, artificial marg--but this was perfectly balanced and so tasty. My husband and I started with the Cielo dip (always gotta try the namesake dishes) and followed it up with the Enchiladas Mole Poblano and Tequila Shrimp Tacos. Everything was delicious, but the Cielo dip has to be the star of the show. It's loaded up with shrimp, steak, chicken, and queso and comes with tortillas on the side. It's so decadent and could have been a meal on it's own, but it's sooo worth the calories. Portion sizes were generous all around and we had plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day. I can't wait to visit again and explore the rest of the menu!

On y way one from the Greek festival y fiancé and I decided to grab dinner along the way. This restaurant was a place that got it right. Friendly service, quit packed and busy! The couple next door to my table left unpleasantly after a few bites even with the server trying to please them but my food was decent. Arroz was bland but the veggie enchilada was missing the corn, which I mentioned and the waitress was attentive to bring it out. The ambiance was loud but busy and close seating. There were tv and bar. I love the delicious margaritas especially the mai tai!

Went in on a weekday, one table was occupied and some people at the bar, so I was seated at a table immediately. Service was fast, friendly and just attentive enough. You get complimentary chips and salsa, average but definitely no complaints. I ordered the pineapple habanero margarita - so delicious and actually had a bit of a kick to it! I wasn't super hungry but got a quesadilla and it was huge - like could easily satisfy two people. It was delicious though and I would definitely order again. Definitely recommend this restaurant and will return.

Went here for a quick bite with a friend and shared the taquitos, pibil tacos and shrimp tacos. The tacos were okay but the taquitos were the ones that hit the spot! I will definitely come back for those.

I've had this as takeout first but it has been in the back of my mind to dine there. The outdoor is painted with cool art (even a spot with angel wings). The staff is amazing and friendly. The food was tasty. The vibe was chill and cool. Totally love this place. If you're in the area, this is a must try.
