Cilantro Ubud

Cilantro sits on Jalan Raya Nyuh Kuning in Mas, the quiet village just south of Ubud's Sacred Monkey Forest. It is a small, colourful room with sombreros and painted birds on the walls, Mexican music playing and a roomy upstairs patio, which makes it a calmer choice than the busy streets of central Ubud.

The menu sticks to familiar Mexican and Tex-Mex plates: tacitos, loaded nachos with homemade tortilla chips, jalapeño poppers, wet burritos, burrito bowls and tacos, with churros to finish and classic margaritas at the bar. Plant-based dishes run through the menu, including vegan tacos, and gluten-free options are clearly marked, something reviewers single out.

It suits an easy, good-value lunch or dinner, and with a kitchen open from 8am it also works for breakfast. Portions are generous and prices modest. It gets busy at peak meal times, so expect a short wait, or order delivery and takeaway instead. Call ahead for larger groups.
