From a Food Truck to Your Table
Carlos and Lina Alvarez launched Zilantro's on Cinco de Mayo 2022 with a food truck, family recipes, and a lot of nerve. Two years later, Central has made it their favorite spot — and we're just getting started.
What our guests are saying
Highly recommend Zilantro's Mexican Grill! Had a fantastic experience with friends and family — blown away by the flavors, service, and atmosphere. The staff were warm and welcoming, and our server was knowledgeable and attentive.

Thanks for saving our anniversary! We will certainly be back. Great food and atmosphere. Waitress April did a wonderful job, and Eli and his wife went above and beyond. Definitely try the chile rellenos and bean soup.

A new look, and the owner comes by to check on everyone. When we mentioned we didn't like the queso dip, the owner came by immediately and offered a different one at no charge. That's real hospitality.

I ordered the Pollo Loco — 10/10, absolutely amazing. It was clean, it smelled awesome, and it's definitely a vibe. Highly recommend this spot for Mexican lunch with the fam!
