" I'm so glad I finally tried El Cerro Azul. The atmosphere was lively. I went with a group, and we all left wanting more! We shared a variety of dishes, and everything was lovely. I particularly enjoyed the grilled chicken burrito, which was huge! The staff was attentive as well, giving recommendations and promptly serving our needs. I will certainly be returning to explore more of their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Cerro Azul is quite a find! I've gone here many times since it's close to my workplace. The lunch specials are a great deal; I especially love the cheesy vegetarian enchiladas. They're satisfying and packed with flavor. However, I had a slightly unfortunate experience with the service during my last visit; I had to wait a bit longer for my drink. Still, the food makes up for it. The ambiance is colorful and inviting, ideal for a fun night out. I will continue to recommend this restaurant to friends and family. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a wonderful dining experience! From the warm greeting at the door to the excellent selection of authentic dishes, it made for a memorable evening. I tried the pollo guisado, and it was exquisite—full of flavors and served piping hot. The service was attentive, too. My only complaint would be that they were a bit crowded, but that’s always a good sign of the food's quality! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was less than stellar. I visited during lunch and felt that the food was overpriced for what I received. The carne asada was tough and overcooked, and the portion sizes didn't match the price. While the staff was friendly, the service could be improved. I won't be returning soon based on this visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited El Cerro Azul on a Saturday night and was genuinely impressed. The line was long, but the wait was worth it. I ordered the ground beef tacos and they were truly delicious, rich in flavor with perfectly crunchy shells. The service was speedy and the staff was super friendly, checking in on us multiple times. The casa margarita is a must-try; it's expertly balanced! The casual atmosphere makes it a great spot for families. I will certainly be back for their taco Tuesday special. Highly recommend this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my second visit to El Cerro Azul. While the first went great, this one was quite different. The service was just off—my server seemed overwhelmed and forgot to check in on me frequently. I really enjoyed the quality of my food, especially the tacos, but the portion didn’t seem quite generous compared to the price. I would give them another try in the future hoping for that same quality I experienced the first time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a rather mediocre experience. The food was decent but nothing special. The staff seemed rushed, which affected the service. I had the BBQ chicken tacos, and honestly, the flavor fell flat. I expected more from this restaurant as I've heard great things. It might be worth another shot when they are less busy. " (*Curated Review*)
