Cilantros Parrilla y Cantina

For over two decades, Cilantros Parrilla Y Cantina has continued the unique culinary tradition of El Palomar in Santa Cruz by serving award winning cuisine to the communities and visitors of the Pajaro Valley on California’s central coast.

In the tradition of El Palomar Santa Cruz, Cilantro's has set a standard in mexican cuisine by combining authentic homemade recipes from the sunny state of Michoacan in Southern Mexico, with the unique abundance of locally grown produce and fresh caught seafood available in the Monterey Bay.

Our full bar features an extensive tequila selection and margarita list, a variety of draft and bottled beers, local premium wines, and classic cocktails made with the finest distilled liquors. Our cantina features nightly happy hour specials, weekend entertainment, and seven flat panel televisions for every sporting event.

Join us for lunch, dinner and drinks! We hope to see you soon.
