Cold food, horrible service where the waiter gave an attitude when asking for silverware. He told me to use the previous customer’s that was sitting on top of the napkins. Hope this isn’t the norm! $40 for two meals with waters to drink was not even close to worth it.

I posted before about the bad food, when I ordered for take out. I tried again, waited months before ordering again.This time is was perfect! The steak was tender,the chicken was tender and the shrimp was perfectly cooked! I will give bad reviews but will give Great ones! I seriously loved it! Keep up with the changes.

Órale vatos. This is hands-down my favorite Mexican spot north of the border—solid Tex-Mex vibes with all the flavors I love. The fajitas are my absolute go-to; they’re sizzling, loaded with peppers and onions, and always perfectly seasoned with tender meat. The carne asada with shrimp is another standout—great char on the steak, juicy shrimp, and it all comes together so well.
Service has been consistently good every time I’ve gone. Food comes out fast, even when it’s busy, and everything is hot and fresh. Shoutout to Christian—he handled our large group like a pro, kept everything running smoothly, and made sure we had what we needed without missing a beat. I’ll be back.

I spent half my life living in the US South West, mostly along the Mexico-Texas boarder. The decor was fine, but the service was horrid. We saw our waiter when we ordered our meal then never again after that. I couldn’t even get a refill on my drink when I asked another waiter for one. I ordered the Lunch special #8, beef burrito and a taco. The whole thing was dry as the desert. The meat was dry and crumbled, bland, no flavor at all. Taco was just as bad. We ordered 2 Chile Rellenos, which are supposed to be stuffed peppers with a breading on them and red sauce. No breading, no sauce, the peppers were splayed open with the same dry ground beef and melted cheese. The oil on the melted cheese was a dead give-away that this meal was microwaved. I will never eat here again.

Well, not return. FIRST time here, the first order was a lot 20$ for one order. Pork tacos with rice and beans . The corn tortillas were so dry. Reorder with flour tortillas was better. No, to go silverware. None of your salsa has no taste Can’t fool someone from Mexico City DF

Family birthday get together. Arrived to a clean restaurant, large table full of family, chips, salsa and cold drinks. Pepsi;)
Enjoyed the food, very good and hot! Topped it off with a Sombro hat, birthday song and whipped cream wiped on my face! Ahhhh
The laughs and good memories.
Thank you El Cerrito’s

Loved the food! They seat you with a heaping chips & salsa. Our server was friendly & on top if it the whole time. This was probably the best chimichanga I’ve ever had. The sides were fresh & delicious. The portion wasn’t quite as big as other places I’ve been, but the flavors made up for it (for me). Husband ordered the same & finished up much faster than I. He wasn’t super full, but was satisfied. I rarely get a drink when going out, but splurged for a margarita. Bigger than expected & it was great. Highly recommend

I love this place and have always had a great experience w/ great food and service, but the lady that took my to go order over the phone today didn’t know the difference between (two orders of pork, rice, and beans w/ 6 flour tortillas) and the order I wanted (two shredded pork tacos w/ onion and cilantro) when the food was brought in she said it was the correct order for TWO carnitas tacos.. I have always ordered the same thing (two carnitas tacos w/ onion and cilantro in corn tortillas. No sides no rice and never an issue till today, I called back a gentleman said they could get me the right order, when we went to pick up the right order the lady said we had the right order originally and ignored my fiancé explaining it’s not the same thing I ordered. Was never given the correct food and ignored. She was rude and all “over the place” hope she was new.
