About Cielo Blanco Leeds

Cielo Blanco is a Mexican dining and Tequila bar in Trinity, Leeds | Lunch | Dinner | Cocktails | Coffee | Outside Seating

Cielo Blanco Leeds Description

Cielo Blanco came about after four years of running tequila-soaked party bar Neon Cactus in the heart of Leeds, serving mouth-watering Mexican food from a tiny kitchen, at all hours. Our passion for fresh, flavoursome Mexican cooking was growing at an alarming rate and attention had shifted… we wanted to dish these dishes out full time. We landed at our first home in the huge sloping structure in the middle of Leeds, Trinity, of which Cielo Blanco took it’s name (Spanish for White Sky) before finding a second home in London’s foodie-haven Exmouth Market. Cielo Blanco has been influenced & shaped by our many trips around Mexico and absorbing the relaxed and social dining atmosphere that courses through the country’s veins; enjoying many-a-mezcal-fuelled cooking class in Oaxaca, roadside taquerias in Mexico City, juicy paletas in Puebla, chipotle camarones in Vera Cruz & a flying visit to Frieda Kahlo’s house for some unexpected design inspiration, all thrown into a mixing pot of molé with our proud cocktail pedigree and four years of learning and growing. We’ll see you for brunch, lunch or tea, every day of the week. Salud.

As you would expect our back bar is loaded with a top selection of Tequilas, Mescals and every other kind of classic Mexican spirit. If however your looking to chill out with a non-alcoholic drink we recommend refuelling from our range of super Juices… “The Cleanser”, “The Refuel” and the “The Zinger”.. their names pretty much speak for themselves!

Was a really nice atmosphere and has a lovely roof terrace in the sun. Didn’t have alcohol on this occasion but will definitely return to try the wines. Nice staff and were friendly.

User

Read all the bad reviews so was a bit hesitant about going but honestly don’t have a bad word to say about it, service was amazing, food was sooooo good and I’d definitely recommend getting the street food experience as you get so much food!! The people saying it’s expensive for what you get are insane, with 6 dishes, a starter and 2 drinks for two of us it came to a total of around £40 which is brilliant!!! Would 100% go again, also our waitress with the red ends of hair was amazing and made sure we had everything we wanted, she deserves a pay rise!!

User

Love this place. Have been before, but not for a long time. Went tonight as a result of winning a FB comp. The steak platter was delicious and plenty generous for two. Thanks guys!

User

Love coming here for are rare child free day �, cocktails are fab food always to die for and staff always friendly.

User

Fantastic!! First time coming here and it sure won’t be my last! Great service and a great find in Leeds!! The staff were very friendly and understanding!

I did feel a little rushed because my food went cold quite quickly but was very yummy!!

The refried beans were amazing!! Was very pleased and very full! Three dishes even though small portions kid you!

User

Every time I’ve eaten here the food has been absolutely beautiful. I can’t recommend this place enough!

User

Amazing food. First time visiting and was pleased. Staff were friendly and quick service. Great all round. Highly recommend

User

My only complaint is that the service charge is added to the bill. I would rather tip the waiter. Food was good and vegetarian dishes were good too. Would have scored a 5 but for the service charge.

User

Lovely food and friendly staff. Disappointed that people can smoke on the balcony where I was eating.

User

Great afternoon in this bar. Very friendly and chatty barman, great cocktails and very reasonably priced.

User

The food was lovely and service good, when the bill arrived it was alot more than expected, when i questioned it i was told that prices are per person and not per dish, the waitress said it often happens, i would of appreciated being told this when ordering.

User

No where nearly as good as it used to be. The food portions are tiny and the service is crap. I asked where my sweet potato fries where as they didn't arrive with the meal to be told abruptly ' don't worry, they are coming!' ...wont be back. Very disappointing. Used to be fabulous here

User

Expensive for the amount of food you get.

Try putting less ice and more liquid in your cocktails. If I'd wanted a glass of iced water, that's what I would have ordered.

User

Disappointing. Had been before and LOVED it. Unfortunately the menu was very limited. Margaritas not authentic. We asked for nachos to share. 1 cup cake with one small pot of guacamole for 3 of us, we asked for me and she only brought more tortilla chips not another guacamole as well. So we asked another waitress for it and she brought a 3rd cup of tortilla chips with now 2 guacamole dips. When the food came it was nice enough. Nice spicy beef empanadas. Paid service charge but shouldn’t have as we had to keep asking for things (nachos, more drinks etc). People should try it and see for themselves I suppose. I won’t be back in a hurry.

User

Disappointed with the food and new menu - limited choice, much more expensive and really not worth the money it cost us for 2 adults and 2 older kids. We used to love it here but won’t be rushing back for sure �

User

This used to be one of my favourite places but has really gone down hill.



1) The waitress was quick to ask what we'd like for drinks. I said we were still deciding on the food, firstly. She didn't quite understand we were there to eat, mainly.

2) once we'd decided what we were going to eat and made our order, we were informed the dishes are like tapas and they they recommend ordering two dishes and a side each. This should have been told to us before we spent 5 minutes looking at the menu and then having to rush to find something whilst the waitress was there.

3) SOME of our food arrived and then it took another 5-10 minutes for the rest to arrive - I've no idea why as the place had about 3 tables to serve.

4) A £4.99 "optional" service charge was added to the bill and I was charged this (paid by card) without being asked if I wanted to pay the "optional" fee.

5) The food wasn't great and certainly wasn't as good as it was a few years go and now seems to cost more to receive less than a few years ago, also.



No wonder the place was dead and all the other surrounding places had quite a number of customers. I won't be returning again.

My visit with my friends started off positive as I looked at the menu and was ready to order. However my positivity began to shatter when it seemed like employees were so laid back they'd be on the floor as it took quite a while before someone came to us for our food orders. With that slight annoyance out of the way we began to look forward to our food. I waited and waited and waited until all my friends were eating then I asked the waitress about my food who just replied with it's on its way. I waited another 10 minutes by this time all my friends had finished. I asked the waitress again about the food and why it wasnt brought out with the others. She just said it would be ready soon and couldnt look more disinterested. By this point I told her that I didnt want my meal anymore since my party had finished and we were to move on. By this point she started to show the first signs of life and actually apologised. Now foodless and ready to pay for the bill it then took what felt like an eternaty to get any employees attention to pay as they were stood by the bar nattering to each other. I went here to try something new. Never again.

User

Music too loud to have a conversation. Small portions. Too spicy to taste any real flavour. Sat in a corner next to a disabled toilet which our able bodied table struggled to get to! Staff looked thoroughly miserable and irritated throughout entire service. Yes we were a large table but we'd booked and pre ordered our food which took over an hour to arrive and was eaten at one end of the table before the other end were served. Generally overpriced and poor quality. Won't return.

User

I'm so angry I've had to log in from pizza express WiFi after leaving in a hurry.



Decided to take up the January 50% offer. Having looked at the menu I realised the street food sharing menu has disappeared to be replaced by a reduced selection at an increased price with shorter hours. If I bought the same dishes at any time before January it would have cost less so where's the saving after my 50% off. January offer seems a scam to get existing customers through the door.



I work just across the road so have been here quite a lot since it opened with colleagues, friends and my partner. This place used to be good!
