The 2 commonly used soapy taste garnishes. Cilantro tastes like dish washing soap while Parsley tastes like deodorant. Which do you prefer?
Cilantro is the leaves of the coriander plant and is also know as Chinese parsley, to those with a practiced good palette it has a fresh citrusy taste, to those with a poor palette it has a soapy taste. The taste is really not unlike the taste of coriander seeds which isn't surprising as they come from the same plant. Regular or Italian leafy parsley has a somewhat acquired taste but is actually quite good for you.

Parsley. However I use root parsley leaves, those taste slightly different like magi seasoning or lovage and offer white thick roots which can be stored for winter.
A lot of good dishes are made with one or the other, but I use cilantro a lot more
