Arrived at 8pm last Saturday, went straight to the loo, which looked like a bomb had hit it, toilet seat at 45degrees to the toilet, loo roll all over the floor and reminents of sick in the sink.

Visited on a Friday evening for a pre cinema tea. My third time and my partners first - I suggested based on previous experience being good and we both ended up disappointed. Was very quiet, no atmosphere, poor customer service and to top it all off we both ended up with upset stomachs - having paid £44 for the privilege! Such a shame used to be a lovely place. Won't be returning or recommending to anyone. :(

I used to visit the restaurant nearly once a month and haven’t been in a while. This place has massively gone down hill. The service it just awful, young kids who are more concerned with having fun than serving customers. The menu has also reduced quite a bit, although the food was good, it wasn’t nearly as good as it used to be. Unlikely to return any time soon!

Best place We’ve eaten in a while, nice light lunch sort of menu, not stodgy at all. Hayley was our waitress for our meal and she is the lovliest person we have ever met, she catered to all of our needs, also we had another lady who was equally as nice who brought us some extra nachos at the end of our meal. Would definitely recomend x

Had a meal on Saturday night. Restaurant was very busy but the service was exceptional nothing was too much for our servers! We had an amazing selection from the menu between us. Very flavoursome food, eyes were definitely bigger than my belly. Just want to say a big thank you to Eby for looking after us and made the night very enjoyable. Will return in the future.

Popped in here for lunch one day. Were from Sheffield and had enjoyed a meal here a few years previously. It was quiet but then we were early. We opted for the street food option and ordered a variety of different plates. Drinks came and while we were enjoying them the food came. It was piping hot and excellent. Lots of lovely flavours and textures. It was a really pleasant un-rushed lunch that we both enjoyed. We’ll be back again in a bit.

We dropped in for a quick lunch today, and as it was a hot day were given the option of outdoors or indoors. The restaurant decor is fun and vibrant as well as having air con so we opted for indoors. The Caribbean feel music wasn’t quite what we’d expected in a Mexican restaurant, but it made it a little different.

If you want some Mexican style food, it is a good restaurant to go to. Food is tasty and the boards are massive. I would recommend sharing one for two or even three people as it has plenty of food on it.

The atmosphere here is great, especially the 'outdoor' seating area. We had gone on a greyish afternoon and it was still very lively and bright. There was a decent selection of cocktails, beers and beer cocktails. While there is a variety of food options, the only thing I'd order again is the fish tacos, which was fresh and light. The Chicken quesadilla and tostada black bean were very average and the Blanco slaw should be renamed bland-o slaw.

Took a long time to get our food considering how quiet it was and the portion sizes, also several items couldn't be ordered as it would be an hour before they were ready or they weren't in stock.

I've eaten here a few times now and I love the tasty street food. There is a good choice of food on the menu and you can choose six dishes for the street food experience. My favourites are the chicken quesadillas and the meatballs. I thought some of the dishes were just a bit too spicy for my taste. The atmosphere is good and there is the option to eat outside as well. The decor is nice and adds to the Mexican theme. The service is quick and friendly and the prices are reasonable.

Came into a nearly empty restaurant to be told when ordering that there was no steak tacos which were one of the signature dishes! Which I thought was incredibly poor for them not to have this available. Instead I ordered sticky beef which wasn’t tasty at all the chicken quesadilla was also completely flavourless and nearly cold by the time it arrived at the table. Sweet potato fries were the only thing that was good but I suppose it would be difficult to get this wrong. Will not be coming back again and would definitely suggest to avoid at all costs!

This used to be one of our favourite restaurants in Leeds but we had a really disappointing meal there tonight. The complimentary nachos have disappeared and are now £2, the menu is reduced and they no longer have the street food deals on on evenings or weekends. Poor service and no atmosphere-it was really quiet at 7pm on a Saturday. Such a shame to see a good place go downhill, we won’t be going back.

Stopped for lunch on a sunny day and had high hopes as it looks really attractive. Sadly the food was extremely disappointing; it was greasy, dull and lacked freshness. We left about half of it untouched as it was so unappetising. It was a pretty expensive mistake as it's really not cheap. I wouldn't go again. The only good things were the summery vibe and the cool fruit drinks.

This is supposed to be Mexican tapas-style, but the dishes are far too expensive to be tapas and how can you share when you’re not given enough tacos/wraps for all the filling. Food itself was ok.

Very disappointed in this place. Been several times before and really enjoyed it but it has gone seriously downhill. Ordered drinks. Didn’t arrive until after 30mins after which we’d almost finished the food. Even then one drink (out of only two) didn’t arrive and only after 30 mins we were told they’d run out of one of the ingredients!!! Wasn’t anything complicated- just a cocktail from their main menu. Food arrived luke warm while still eating starter. Restaurant was freezing as even in one of the coldest nights of the year, the air con was on full! Food went from luke warm to freezing cold in minutes. While looking at dessert menu, which was rubbish as only ice creams or churros, we ordered another drink. Ten minutes later still hadn’t arrived (was only bottle of beer!) so we gave up and got bill. Only paid half service charge but they were lucky we did that. Shame service is so poor and menu gone downhill as this used to be a great place. As there are now so many other places to choose from we won’t be going back. Do yourself a favour and don’t bother either.

Went here on a family evening out as a treat before going to the theatre. Waitress and other staff were very polite, helpful and attentive. However, the food was very disappointing. Sitting next to the kitchen area didn't fill me with confidence, as there seemed to be some unusual food handling practices going on. As an example, I saw one of the chaps ease what looked like ice cream out of the scoop using his thumb onto a plate. In fact, most of the plates were being arranged by staff using bare hands and not much hand washing as the sink was full of dirty dishes. Back to the meal, the taco's all tasted very odd (my wife described them as tasting like flowers) and were stale and my small meal was prepared by placing 6 or so strips of marinated beef from a plastic tub and putting it in a hot metal bowl for a minute or so before serving. My daughter had the squid, which she said was taseless.

I'll preface my review by saying mexican food is my favourite, therefore I may be biased, but the food at Cielo Blanco is absolutely delicious. The concept is mexican social eating and it's comparable to tapas with the idea being you order a bunch of small plates for the table then help yourselves and try a bit of everything, and that's what we did. We split 9 plates between 3 and there was more than enough food with us actually leaving a few bits due to being too full! My favourite dishes were the quesadillas which were the best quesadillas i've ever had! I hope I get chance to return one day

Went here due to a 50% off deal that was running, and had been once before and remembered it was good. We ordered guacamole and chips to start, this came very quickly and was not bad, although the guac was not fresh. For the main, we ordered the 'Street Food Experience' which was not included on the 50% off but seemed good value for money. We ordered 9 dishes, but unfortunately a few were unavailable. This didn't bother us too much. The food took around 40 mins to come, which felt quite long and there seemed to be a lot of staff around not doing much.

During our short wait we were sat at the untidiest, messiest Bar I have seen in a looooooong time...as My Mother used to say about my Bedroom, “looked like a bomb had hit it...”Food Menu was fun, food itself was “alright,” as were the drinks from the chaos of the bar...Strangest thing of all was the Staff behaviour, we visited post the Theatre at night. As shifts ended, staff seemed to sit at the bar have a drink, some had a meal inside the kitchen whilst Customer Food continued to be dispatched meanwhile others kissed each other; intimately at the bar...I’m no prude but it all just seemed a bit unprofessional & uncomfortable viewing... after all, I’d just been to the Theatre to witness a “Love Story,” PDAs during Dinner just isn’t nice, especially when you’re paying for the privilege :)The Churos were bad, very bad.

We were a party of 6 that booked in advance and ordered from the set festive menu and asked to choose our choices prior to arriving so that the kitchen were prepared..they were anything but.-We weren’t served food for an hour after arriving, were told that they didn’t have 2 of the menu choices we had made (days before), then asked numerous times which party we were; after which we were told that they had sent out food to another party. -One desert out of 6 arrived alone and when we asked were told there had been (another) mix up and that the other deserts would be 5 mins, eventually came in 15 mins and we turned them away as it was 10pm and had been at the table for 3 hours.-Wine & glasses took 30 mins to arrive and we kept having to ask where it was. After the wine had finally arrived, another waiter brought another bottle as they obviously weren’t communicating.-Organisation was a disaster with all staff attending to every table rather than having one waiter. -At one point we were waiting for food boards to arrive, the waiter brought one but it was for the wrong table and then he proceeded to ask whether he could clear our plates even though we were waiting for more food.-Food was amazing as usual-After we complained, the manager sat with us, gave us free shots of tequila and told us that he had deducted the wine from our bill and discounted the food. When we checked the bill, they had charged us for 7 people & put 35% staff discount on food and 25% off drinks. We complained again and the bill was finally rectified albeit a bottle of wine was still on the bill.-have been many times and it is usually really good!

We had a slightly bizarre experience at Cielo Blanco at the weekend. We arrived at about 12:30 on Saturday (Christmas shopping pit stop for lunch). I'd raved about it to my Mum and she was looking forward to it. On arrival we were told by the lady running the front that we would need to wait approx 15 minutes for a table and to wait in the bar. The restaurant inside was full but only one table were seated outside so I queried if we could have a seat outside, she said to wait at the bar but was very strange about it (she didn't make any eye contact and kept looking over my shoulder I thought). The balcony had no-one on it - it was pretty cold though. We went to the bar and stopped the same lady on her way past and asked if we could sit outside as there was no-one there and we'd seen several people be seated after we'd arrived. She said we could have a table but our orders wouldn't be taken for at least another 10-20 minutes. I can only assume the kitchen or waiting team were understaffed or over loaded. We waited outside with the drinks we'd bought at the bar for about 10 minutes watching another several people be told they would need to wait 20 minutes plus for a table. We had a chat about it and decided it wasn't a great start. At this point I think about 5 of the 20 tables were filled. It was really strange, surely a restaurant in a busy city centre should be geared up to deal with a full restaurant at lunchtime 6 weeks before Christmas. We left in the end and went elsewhere. The front of house lady did apologise when I explained why we were leaving but it was such a shame we couldn't just have had a lovely lunch. Really odd experience. Not sure I'll be back.

I decided to take a friend from home to Cielo Blanco after visiting 4-5 times previously in the year. Usually impressed with the food and service, this trip was a huge disappointment. We ordered six dishes from the 'Street Food' menu. Expected complimentary tortilla chips as usual, which were never to be served to us despite being added to the bill. Our dishes were finally served half an hour later, by a disinterested, unenthusiastic waitress with short dark hair. Did not once ask how our meal was and avoided eye contact whenever I politely asked for another drink. However, Food was absolutely delicious, despite the same waitress clearing my plate before I had even finished.. who also came by ten minutes later with 'Are you finally finished?' and clearing my last plate. Would have had a dessert but instead left with a bad taste in my mouth from an unpleasant, unwelcoming and rushed experience. But as i said before, delicious food. If only my tip could be given directly to the chef.

So I haven't visited Cielo Blanco in about three years - because the first time I went the food was bland and the whole experience was pretty average. Anyway, it'd been years and my friends were big fans so I thought why not try it again. We arrived and ordered our drinks- three were bought out together, and mine was bought out about 5/10 minutes later, apparently because mine was a cocktail so took longer. Which normally obviously restaurants tend to wait and then bring them all out together - but it wasn't a huge deal. My three friends had ordered sharing dishes on their 3 dishes per person / minimum of two people deal. And as I have a lactose intolerance and saw cheese pretty much all over the menu, I opted for the Open burrito bowl as it looked a dairy free safe option. So their food arrived first, and again mine arrived a bit later. However, when I started on my food there was a huge dollop of sour cream in the bowl. I asked the waitress if it was in fact sour cream, and said I had a lactose intolerance / it wasn't mentioned on the menu / etc. She offered to replace it, but stated that it would be another 5-10 minutes till I got replacement. 15 minutes later and my friends had mostly finished their food, when mine arrived. It was fine- pretty bland and nothing to write home about at all. The waitresses also cleared the table of all my friends dishes while I was still eating, which we found a bit rude. My friends had only received 7 of their 9 dishes so we sat around waiting a bit longer. We beckoned over a waitress to ask where the other two items were and she didn't seem to have any idea what we were talking about. Another waitress returned a bit later and said they could be bought out, but it would be a 15 minute wait, or they could deduct it from the bill. Obviously we had it deducted from the bill. However, in hindsight they didn't make it clear that this meant that the deal of 3 dishes for 3 people at a set price was missed out on. Overall I honestly don't think I'll ever go back for anything apart from the cocktails - 'Scorchio' was great - and I can't say I'd even recommend it in any way to any of my friends. The Scottish waitress who bought us our bill was lovely, and apologised, but at the end of the day, the whole experience wasn't really a great end to an evening.

My daughter and I called in for lunch before a matinee performance at the theatre. We went for the Street Food Experience, choosing 6 dishes to share for £12.50 with a separate portion of sweet potato fries. Everything was delivered to the table at the same time and in record time and were all delicious. We both had a super fruit drink, with the fruit freshly squeezed at the bar. These were also delicious. We could have managed a dessert, but with only 3 on the menu, there was nothing we fancied, so we settled for a cappuccino each. The service was excellent and not at all intrusive.

So glad we decided to try this place! We absolutely loved it and as an American who always searches for good mexican, this did satisfy my craving. Our waitress (Derina?) Was super friendly and super fast. The queso was so good with pieces of chorizo! We have the chicken tacos and chicken and corn quesadillos - I highly recommend this place. I would give 5 stars but considering there isn't easy parking, no refillable soft drinks and it's a bit spendy I give 4 but the food and service itself was amazing.

Went here for the first time last month with a team night out, there were a few vegetarians in our party and this menu had plenty of choice for all of us. We were welcomed to the restaurant by a lovely server who took us to our seat next to the windows overlooking Leeds. We ordered several plates to share all between us and the food did not disappoint! freshly made, full of flavour and incredibly fast to come to the table! you can tell that the entire team here love their jobs and take so much pride and care in everything they do! already looking to rebook for our next team night out and cannot wait to bring my friends here next month also! highly recommend!

Six of us had been at Headingley for 3 days watching the cricket, and we fancied a Mexican meal on our final night before heading back to Edinburgh the following morning. We saw the rating on TripAdvisor for Cielo Blanco and thought we would give it a bash. Firstly, I must commend the kitchen guys as I think as we arrived, they were getting ready to leave for the night, so first good point there. We sat on the terrace that overlooks the street below on a mild evening, which was a nice thing to be able to do. The service was great and all the staff were really friendly. We wanted to order the feast menu (recommended for 4 people), but as there was six of us they recommended one feast menu and a couple of extra items. Being hungry guys we ordered two feast menus (cue raised eyebrows from the staff). We were warned that was a lot of food, and boy was it, but it was really nice. We had two sharing boards as part of the feasts, one was rump steak, and the other (my personal favorite) was the pork belly. All the food was really good, and washed down with a selection of beers and cocktails, all for around £40 a head, so pretty good value also. We could hardly move after so no room for dessert, but we would all fully recommend it!

It was our daughters 18th birthday and we were visiting for shopping and lunch at Cielo Blanco as my husband and I were so impressed with the restaurant last time we came.As it was a Bank Holiday we were concerned that we'd not get a table but were seated quickly on arrival. 10/10 to Robin our waiter. He was so polite and friendly! A credit to your staff.Food, as usual, was top notch - especially the beer battered fish tacos.

Visited for a lunch with family. We ve been for dinner before and we had really enjoy it. We chose from the "tapas menu". Its basically a choose of 9 dices for 3 people. The food was great except of their creation of a so called salad with watermelon. Having watermelon and tomatoes was alright but adding black olives and a sugary dressing to that made the overall flavour odd. In addition to that, all of their glasses were stained. Dishwasher stains, i have worked in the industry and i know that there is no change on getting spotless glasses from the industrial dishwasher if you don't polish them after they come out. Overall the food was great, soft drinks (non alcoholic cocktails) were nice. I would definitely visit again.

Friend fancy to go to Mexican, I been there once before which mean it is my second visit. This time we decide to have a platter which I haven't had this experience with friend before. Made 6 choices of food to share , the foods arrived quite fast. All the foods are amazing! I can't say which is best but more enjoyable is the cheese because one of the food we chosen is mushroom but it is way spicy for me , my friend find spicy a little but not for me. Didn't offered us the dessert as we asked for bill and leave which had dessert elsewhere.

The staff were lovely and very friendly, the prices were very reasonable, and the food delicious. I was particularly impressed by the vegetarian options, which felt carefully thought out rather than being a regular dish with the meat substituted. The menu isn't huge but still manages to be diverse, making it an excellent choice for large groups where people will have different tastes. If you're getting the tapas sharing option, I'd really recommend the cauliflower and cactus enchiladas, they're incredible. Will definitely eat again.

We visited Wednesday afternoon and shared three tapas from the Street Food Menu (quesadilla, taco and enchilada) and also had the avocado, grilled cheese and quinoa salad. To drink I had the Classic Michelada.The food was great. The tapas were very tasty and the salad was delicious. The dishes were quite spicy, which I like, but it's something to consider if you don't really like spicy food. The Michelada was very nice (incidentally, it came without salt around the rim at first so I had to send it back and then the new one was left on the bar until I asked for it - not a big problem but worth mentioning).I found the prices to be a bit too high, particularly for the drinks but it wouldn't put me off coming again due to the quality of the food.The staff seemed new but the service was fine. There was the small issue with the drink but otherwise, we had no issues. The place is very nice and you can either sit inside, outside or on the balcony. We sat inside, by the bar, and there was a good vibe.Recommended (if you like spicy food).

My wife found this place and we went one evening when I was working away; I had read the earlier reviews and wasn't holding out much hope... I expected good food, poor service - we were very pleased with what we found. There was lots on the menu but not too much we went for the Street Food menu, which was six 'tapas' style plates between us with the additional sides of sweet potato fries, guacamole and refried beans (did not need the beans in the end). Everything was very well cooked and had loads of flavour; most things were spicy too, which was very good for me. The mushroom tosadas however were far too spicy; I struggled to eat it and I love spicy food - my wife didn't even try hers and I couldn't bring myself to finish it off. The cheese stuffed jalapenos were amazing. In terms of service, it wasn't very busy (being a Monday evening) but the staff were great - they were helpful ad very informative. There was a slight hygiene issue with one of the staff, noticeable but not bad enough to put me off. All in all a great visit - we will be returning in the future.

Our visit to cielo blanco was extremely pleasant, and the food was great. We were put at ease by our friendly waitress briony who greeted us with a smile and talked us through the menu she also advised us of options for our young daughter. Portions were just what we wanted for a light lunch, great new flavours and value for money, Defoe be back.

Went at lunch and they really need to offer the sharing dishes as a much smaller offering as too much. Pork and chorizo meatballs inedible. Had to re-ask for 2nd drink. OK - had been about 18 months ago and will probably be the same time before I revisit. Nothing special - meal for 2 with drinks £60.

We arrived and only half dooze tables taken but was made to sit next to the toilet door which is far from perfect, given that ther was other tables free for two people. Waitress disappered quicker than flash. It is very hard to tell which are staff as all wear very casual cloths and so it hard to tell staff from guests. The food is very good, we went for the street food of six dishes between two of us. Once we had finised we was asked if wanted desert but then left for 15 minutes, by this time we lost our appitete for a pudding. Then asked for bill nd had to wait for 20 mins to pay, all staff seem to diappear.They also automatically add the service charge of 10%.

Came here with a group of friends, decent service although the system doesn't work if the waitress forgets who orders what. As it's like a tapas style some dishes are great and others are not so great it's like a pick and mix. There is a decent offer where you can pick three dishes. It's nice food but it's not the best food I've ever had. Location and restaurant are in Trinity so location is rather perfect. Would come here again for sure.

I go to this restaurant all the time it's one of my favourite places to eat! It's always clean and the toilets are awesome and always clean. The food is good I've only had one bad experience where the feta cheese tasted mouldy and the member of staff I told didn't really care but I've been since and not had a problem. The cocktails are pricey for the size you get served but then they are overpriced everywhere.

We ordered the street food. As there was a group of us you would have thought that there would have been some way a note of what had been ordered and by whom..... But no. The food came out in dribs and drabs so we had to ask for menus to try to remember what we had ordered! We ordered 6 street food dishes and had to ask for the 6th, that they "forgot" to bring. When it arrived it was cold and the staff were very absent at this time. The food was tasty but the portions were very small. We had to eat again not long after leaving. £25 (£12.50 each) was a lot of money for 3 meat balls, a bit of beef stew and tacos etc. A10% service charge was automatically added to the bill........ I really don't think that this is appropriate. I will not rush back to this "restaurant".

After a day of shopping in Leeds Trinity we were trying to decide where to go for food. We stopped off at Cielo Blanco and were immediately greeted with warm and friendly service by a staff member who I believe was called Derian (I misplaced my receipt and knew I wouldn't remember her name). When we were deciding what to drink and eat, she kindly went through the menu with us, recommending dishes and drinks. We took her advice and the food came very promptly. It was hot, tasty and we had a huge range of different dishes that we could all share. Throughout our entire trip there, Derian was approachable and extremely friendly and I can't recommend the place enough. 10/10.

We went for lunch in a group of 4. The food was all right, though we were expecting a bit more flavour for the prices they charge. We decided to have the 6 tapas for £12.50 so £25 per couple, upon receiving the bill we noticed this was not applied and we were overcharged by over £10. We pointed it out and they rectified the bill but still added on the 10% service charge, which we ended up paying but on reflection that was quite cheeky of them given the situation (really not sure if that was a genuine mistake or if they just tried it on but if they were honest they wouldn't be cheeky enough to still happily add on the service charge)! Will NOT be returning.

The non alcoholic coolers and juices are lovely and the tequila sangria is just delicious. Staff were really attentive, friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes. Free tortilla chips and spicy dips were lush. Will definitely visit again.

Myself and 5 other family members along with a newborn visited here yesterday. Upon arrival we were welcomed very well and seated in the back of the restaurant - which was lovely and airy and clean with a really nice ambience. Our waitress was lovely and really attentive. The menu is small but perfectly formed, has something for everyone - one thing I will say is that it isn't that clear which are starters and which are mains or whether you can pick from anything for any course so maybe something to consider by the restaurant but we figured it out with the help of our waitress and once explained it was fine. We ordered and the food arrived quickly and was fresh and super tasty and really good value. We all agreed we'd definitely return! Highly recommended!

Comí aquí algunas veces y por lo general he estado bien, pero esta noche, cuando tenía prisa, no estaba nada contento. Fui por el burrito mediano, todo el arroz se había agotado, así que mi opción era solo arroz blanco. La persona que me sirvió se saltó las opciones y apenas me dio rellenos, así que cuando terminé cuando envolvió el burrito, era muy pequeño. No vale 4 no importa los 7 que cobran. Por lo general, me quejaba, pero tenía prisa y una comida para llevar. Cuando llegué a casa estaba muy decepcionado, lo que sabía que estaría. No volveré a llamar aquí de nuevo

Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Great for a few drinks and some nice food. The chicken tacos are out of this world and to say this place is both a bar and restaurant the food is really worth it. Staff are extremely welcoming and helpful. We waited around 25 minutes for a round of drinks (without realising to be honest) and the staff continuously apologised and even brought a shot to say sorry. It was a busy Saturday evening so we expected a bit of a wait. Highly recommend this place, definitely overlooked.
