A trip to Home Goods and followed up with a lunch at El Cerro Grande! My wife had the Margarita with Enchiladas Rancheras and I had the Negra Modelo Penquena with my Chili Relleno! First time eating here and our server, Tania L, was pleasant and very attentive so that we would have a great lunch!
Great way to celebrate another successful week!

I ordered from a delivery service today, but have been to this location many times. I ordered the 3 item combination- 2 cheese enchiladas & one beef chalupa. It came with rice and refried beans & their awesome chips & salsa. As you can see, they packed the chalupa separately which preserved its integrity. I did take a few bites before remembering to take the pictures. I just have to Congratulate the restaurant in providing a delicious meal, packed beautifully & enough food for 2 servings! I was very impressed. I aways look forward to their chips & salsa when eating at the restaurant, so I was happy they came with my delivery order. Often, if I order food from a delivery service, I feel that it really wasn’t worth it – but not this time. Worth every penny. Thank you!

I had such a great experience at this Mexican restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — full of flavor and perfectly seasoned. The tacos were fresh, the rice and beans were amazing, and the salsa had just the right kick.
The atmosphere was welcoming and lively, and the staff was so friendly and attentive. You can really tell they care about their customers.
I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to friends and family. Tania was the best!!

We love coming here for a quick and reasonably priced meal! We stopped in tonight for a friend’s birthday and had a party of 8. We were seated within 10 minutes and Gabriella was such a lovely server! She made sure all the drinks were full and meals were accurate.

We had such an amazing experience at El Cerro Grande, and our server Christian made it even better! From the moment we sat down, he was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. He stayed on top of everything without being overbearing, made sure our drinks were always full, and checked in at the perfect times. If you’re dining at El Cerro Grande, definitely ask for Christian — he’s the best! We’ll absolutely be back because of him! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The place is much bigger on the inside than it appears. Saturday night there was a wait about 15 minutes for a table at 7 PM.
The wait went quick a few places to sit while you’re waiting otherwise, you will have to stand
Food is typical Tex-Mex, but was very tasty. Portion sizes were huge. The margaritas seem to be the key drink there as I witnessed many tables having them. I tried one as well. It was quite tasty but expensive they have small, medium, large and pitcher sizes. The medium margarita was $11 but it was quite a big drink.
The chips were good. The salsa was just OK. We’ve had much better salsa elsewhere no chunks and the salsa no cilantro taste but still a good overall taste.
Service was excellent waitress was on top of everything and very nice.
There is music playing, which was quite loud in the waiting area, but in the back of the restaurant, it didn’t cause an issue to talk.
There is a bar area as well that you can see yourself at and eat.

Me and my bestie went here for dinner. The food was delicious. The drinks were good and strong. The atmosphere was great with Karaoke and great singers. The host was very entertaining. I will visit again.

Over all dinner was great. The atmosphere was pleasant, the food was delicious, and our server Camila was very nice.
The issue came when we went to check out. We didn’t know if we were supposed to take our check to the register or if our server would come take the payment from us.
After a few minutes we took our ticket to the register and were treated so rudely by Belen that we won’t likely be back any time soon.
When we approached Belen looked directly at us, face completely deadpan. I attempted to hand her my debit card and ticket, and asked if this is where we pay. She ignored me and turned to a woman on her left to look at a powder compact the other woman had taken out of a makeup bag.
Our server approached and offered to take our ticket, just as I say to Belen and the other woman, “it’s horrible customer service to look at someone like they’re stupid, when they’re trying to pay for dinner, but you’re too busy looking at makeup to help them.”
Granted, I didn’t need to say anything, but I was embarrassed by being treated with indifference like I should have known better than to try and pay my check at the register.
Belen then says, “you can’t just hand us something you have to say something”, to which I replied, “I asked you if this is where we check out.” She then stated snarkily, “well your server is here, so she can answer you.”
I turned to our server and asked if she could help us and she nodded and started the process of checking us out.
I just shook my head and paid the bill, making sure to tip Camila 25%, so she would know I had no issues with her.
As we were leaving, I told Belen she was rude and she replied in a sarcastic sing song tone, “have a good night.”

Beautiful Mexican decoration, good music and entertaining place. Good service but the food lacks flavor in my opinion.
