Taqueria Cielito Lindo

Es el peor Restorante mixicano de Los que yo e visitado los tacos no tienen sabor terrible esperiencia nunca regresare. A ese lugar

Riverhead is definitely not the most charming town on the Northfork, but it’s proving to be quite the foodie haven. It seems to have one standout spot in a surprising number of ethnic cuisines, including this Mexican taqueria. It’s in a strip mall geared towards the areas Mexican immigrant community, alongside a bodega, Mexican grocery, and other life necessities. We were the only non-​Latinos dining, yet the server was sweet and helpful, despite her limited English and our non-​existent Spanish.
We ordered enchiladas verdes and chicken mole. The verdes was exceptional. The sauce was fresh and hot and savory, over fresh-​griddled corn tortilla filled with roasted chicken. Beautiful red beans and rice accompanying
Mole was less successful. Perhaps a bottled sauce, or at least some shortcuts, so overly sweet and no real depth of spicing. But everything else on the plate was the same excellence as the enchiladas
Most tables were sharing large plates of assorted tostadas and sopes and tacos, with fresh fruit drinks. I wished we had gone that route too; they looked so good, but loved our meal anyway.
Great find. Go now!

Outstanding authentic Mexican food! Not your typical Americanized Mexican drowned in cheese. Absolutely delicious fresh house-​made sauces. A tiny storefront place, perfect for casual lunch. We tried the tostadas (chicken), sopes (shredded beef), and a sandwich with chorizo, all of which were excellent. If you like things spicy, the red sauce will be sure to please! Five stars for food; not so much for ambiance, but a great find! I wish we lived closer so we could visit more often.

Guacamole was fresh. That’s the best thing I can say about this place. Even though it was fresh, it was bland. It was like eating an avocado with a stale chip (yes chips tasted stale). I got the chicken burrito and the chicken was extremely dry and overall it was super bland. I have had mexican and authentic mexican, this just does not serve mexican food justice. We came here out of desperation of needing a cheap quick meal and we certainly found it. I won’t be back, nor would I recommend this hole in the wall.

Authentic Mexican food at a cheap price. Quick, courteous service, and the staff seemed eager to please. I had the enchiladas verde, and loved it. Salsa and chips were a great start. Definitely will return

Great Authentic Mexican. I have traveled all over Mexico, and can say I finally have tried a great Taco Al pastor with the authentic bits of pineapple, no other place does it like Cielito Lindo. They also have an amazing Sopa Azteca, which consists of Tortilla chips, avocado, chicharron and queso Oaxaca. Highly recommend this place. Family restaurant, food is the real deal.
