Having just moved to the area from San Diego, I was afraid to try any "Mexican" food around here. Â Out this way, most places are more TexMex than actual Mexican food. Â SoCal has ruined me, for the most part. Â I had been hearing great things about this place from locals, so I decided I'd give it a try. Â These guys are the REAL DEAL! Â I felt like I was back on the West Coast again, if even for just a night out. Â They even have horchata, which if you've never had it before, freakin' go try it!! Â It's heavenly.
Good lord, I've made myself hungry after writing this review. Â Might have to pay them a visit for dinner tonight!
We have been going to Ciudad since they opened and the food and service has been top quality since day one. Â One of the few places where the staff has remained the same with virtually no turn over since they opened. Â The owner and his wife are almost always there working just as hard as anyone else in the place.
The food is excellent no matter what you order, we  have never  had anything we didn't like.  The home made salsa is delicious, though I have to get the mild.  The recipes are from the owners home region of Mexico and you can depend on the waiters to give you good advise if you tell them what you like.  Prices are reasonable and you get a LOT for your money. Â
Ciudad is always clean and you can tell everyone who works there takes great pride in everything about the  restaurant from the service to how you like your food. Â
This is one locally owned business that provides great food, service and I hope they remain in Muncie for a very very long time.
