"The Chevron station at Sherman and Whitsett in North Hollywood has a not-so-well-kept secret, and it’s not discounted IPAs. It’s Cilantro Mexican Grill, a counter-service spot known for well-constructed, well-seasoned burritos that’ll make you realize how many other burrito shops are phoning it in. Our go-to is the classic asada burrito "enchilada-style,” stuffed with lots of charred marinated steak and smothered in a thick blanket of red sauce and cheese that turns this into a knife-and-fork situation. The upgrade does cost extra, but it won’t leave you wincing like paying for a full tank will." - sylvio martins, cathy park, garrett snyder
"Turns out there is a threshold for the amount of time you can spend with one person in an apartment, and you crossed it a long time ago. You need an overdue break—from them, from life, from sitting at home every night while being repeatedly mansplained that it takes a few seasons to get into Suits. Time to get out of town. You don’t know where you’re going yet, but you do know you’re stopping at Cilantro on your way out. Located inside a Chevron right off the 170 in North Hollywood, this tiny Mexican counter serves incredible burritos (we love the sweet char of the carne asada) that provide some much-needed nourishment before a long drive north to reclaim one’s sanity." - brant cox
"Things that are bad for quelling nihilism: Gas stations (expensive prices, fossil-fuels that are horrible for the environment, constant reminders that much like the dinosaurs, the human race will one day cease to exist, etc.). Things that are good for quelling nihilism: Mexican grills located in North Hollywood Chevrons. In other words, Cilantro. They’ve got some of the best burritos in town, from ones served enchilada-style and filled with house carne asada to an off-the-menu surf and turf, which comes packed with Angus beef. The choice is yours… or is it? Cilantro Mexican Grill is available for takeout and delivery - call (818) 765-7998, pick-up in-store, or find them on various delivery platforms." - kat hong
"North Hollywood’s Cilantro Mexican Grill makes what may be the best meat burrito in the entire city. Tucked into a quiet corner of a busy gas station, this place draws dozens upon dozens of lunchtime diners eager to enjoy the craftsmanship of chef Adolfo Perez, a Le Cordon Bleu graduate with a corporate cheffing background who is now making his dream come true. Burritos come packed with meats like carne asada or barbacoa, plus pinto or black beans, rice, onions, and cilantro. Cilantro also serves breakfast burritos, tortas, burrito bowls, taquitos, and more." - Mona Holmes
