Cielito Cafe

Mexican restaurant · Montrose

"This charming Montrose cafe is tucked away in an assuming house, and locals know that it’s an outstanding option for Mexican brunch dishes and sides. Cielito is most recognized by dishes like sopes with beans and chorizo, and elote distinguishable both by its vivid color, and a tiny Mexican flag that pridefully signals the cafe’s roots. During Lent, the seafood selections are equally wondrous. The restaurant’s Lent special — which includes tacos de camarones, or shrimp tacos, and capirotada estilo Michoacán, a Mexican bread pudding of toasted bread soaked in piloncillo, a Latin American unrefined whole cane sugar cube, flavored with warm Mexican spices, and topped with crumbly drops of cotija cheese — is worthy of year-round indulgence." - Kayla Stewart
