" Having been to El Cerrito multiple times, I've become a regular. They consistently provide great service and delicious food. The tacos are my go-to order; they are always fresh and packed with flavor. The environment is nice, and I've always appreciated the cleanliness of the restaurant. The only downside was that during peak hours, it can be crowded, and sometimes there's a bit of a wait. But honestly, I think it's worth it for the quality of food that keeps me coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was mostly good, I had a mixed experience at El Cerrito. The tacos I had were well-made, and I loved the spices used, but my friend's fajitas were a bit dry and lacked flavor. I expected a much better presentation too. The atmosphere was nice, with plenty of seating inside and out. Everyone was polite and accommodating, but I did feel like they needed more staff to handle the busy times. I’d give it another shot, hoping for a more consistent experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Cerrito Taqueria stands out in a sea of mediocre Mexican restaurants. I absolutely enjoyed their carne asada and the fresh salsa on the side. You can really taste the quality in their food; it's flavorful and authentic. The staff was welcoming, and our food came out quickly. The layout of the place allows for both comfort and a casual dining experience. Highly recommend if you're in the area or if you're like me and traveling through! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at El Cerrito was quite delicious, but I did encounter some hiccups. I ordered the chicken enchiladas, and while the flavor was decent, they did skimp on the cheese, which was disappointing. I expected a bit more for the price. Also, we had to wait a while to get our drinks refilled, and that dampened the experience. Despite that, the ambiance was inviting, and the decor is colorful, which I loved. I think a little improvement in service could elevate this place greatly. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely meal at El Cerrito! The atmosphere is playful and colorful, which really sets the mood for a fun dining experience. I ordered their shrimp tacos, and they were very fresh, although I would have preferred more shrimp inside. Service was prompt, but not overly friendly. Overall, I enjoyed my meal and would recommend it to others for a casual dining night. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had a less-than-stellar experience at El Cerrito. While the food was decent, there were numerous errors with our order, and I was disappointed in their response. The staff is nice, but it felt like they weren't adequately trained. I would like to see improvement in consistency, but I do think they have potential. I might give them a second shot down the road. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited this taqueria after hearing great things from friends, and it did not disappoint. The ambiance is relaxed, perfect for an afternoon meal. I opted for the shrimp burrito, which was generously stuffed and bursting with flavor. The staff was friendly, though they seemed a bit overwhelmed during lunch rush, which slowed down service a bit. However, the food made up for the wait. I also loved their homemade salsas that complemented my meal perfectly. All in all, this spot is definitely a keeper! " (*Curated Review*)
