El' Cerrito Mexican bar & grill

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.

The food is top notch! The wait staff are wonderful and the drinks are amazing!!!!

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.
