Cilantro’s Gourmet Deli

Cilantro’s Gourmet Deli operates out of Isles View Drive in the southern part of Wellington, an area of the village that has less restaurant density than the Forest Hill Boulevard corridor further north. It fills a role that few other Wellington businesses cover directly: a neighborhood cafe built around Argentine and broader Latin cuisine served in a deli and sit down cafe format, with empanadas, sandwiches, and breakfast items alongside Argentine specialties like the chivito and milanesa.

The deli keeps long, consistent hours seven days a week, opening at nine every morning and closing between seven and eight at night, which covers breakfast, lunch, and an early dinner in a single stretch of operation. That kind of schedule fits a neighborhood cafe model, where customers might stop by for a coffee and pastry in the morning and come back for a sandwich or full plate later in the day, rather than a restaurant built around a single meal period.

Argentine food brings specific dishes that are less common on the broader Wellington restaurant scene, which is dominated by Italian, Mexican, and Asian cuisines along the main retail corridors. Milanesa, a breaded and fried cutlet, and the chivito, a substantial sandwich with South American roots, give Cilantro’s a menu that stands out from the more familiar options elsewhere in the village, and the deli format, counter service alongside casual seating, keeps the experience quick and approachable rather than formal.

Cilantro’s also offers catering and hosts private parties, and it supports online ordering through DoorDash and Uber Eats for anyone who wants the food delivered rather than eating in. Located in the Isles at Wellington area toward the south end of the village, it serves a community that does not have the same concentration of independent restaurants as the Forest Hill corridor, making it a genuine neighborhood option for residents in that part of Wellington who want a gourmet deli and Latin cafe close to home.

Breakfast items alongside the deli’s Argentine specialties mean the cafe covers a full day of eating, not just a lunch stop, and the long daily hours support that range of use. Customers researching the deli online will find it referred to under a couple of similar names, Cilantro’s Gourmet Deli and Cilantro’s Wellington, both pointing to the same Isles View Drive location and the same independently run kitchen. For a part of Wellington that does not have a dense restaurant row, Cilantro’s has become one of the go-to stops for both a casual coffee and pastry visit and a full sit down plate.
