Sadly the Mexican rice and beans both contain chicken bouillon. The black beans are also meat based and not vegetarian. We had called them in advance and confirmed but clearly Albany is not up to vegetarian dietary specifications. The people who work at Cielito Lindo, from the front to the kitchen staff are superb, genuine and extremely sweet.Vegetarian options: There are no real vegetarian options here. This is not a vegetarian friendly restaurant.

A small restaurant with big charm and even bigger flavor - yum! I highly recommend anything made with their mole sauce, super tasty. We're definitely going to be regulars!

Very good customer service. We did not dine in but we waited inside for food. I was able to ask question of the young cashier and she was able to understand my questions and make recommendations on food. I even tried this condensed milk drink I saw other customers having. It was great. We will be back.

Legit great food. I wish I took pictures. This place will definitely be on rotation. I had a banging burrito . It was so filling. This was Hispanic homecooking in a restaurant. Did mention their burritos come with fries! Like wow! The hot sauces were definitely ?! You look heat the help you with that.

Everything I've tried here is delicious. Try their Oaxacan and Triqui specialties. One of the best in the area, and a convenient walk if you work near the Capitol.

We booked a table outside in advance for four people + a dog. Once arrived they have two tables for two but can't join them. We get no more explanation and it's my last time there. A shame that they don't solve their own mistakes....

(Translated by Google) Very clean inside, typical Oaxacan food from the Triqui region. My husband said his Masa de Chivo was very tasty. And my Chicharon in Salsa Verde was good too. I asked for a scrambled egg but normally it doesn't come with an egg.(Original)Muy limpió adentro, tipico comida oaxaqueña de región Triqui. Mi esposo dijo que su Masa de Chivo estaba bien sabroso. Y mi Chicharon en Salsa Verde también estuvo bueno. Yo pedi un huevo revuelto pero normalmente no viene con huevo.
