" While I enjoyed most of my meal at El Cerro Grande, I felt the service could improve. It took quite some time before anyone came to take our order, and our drinks were slow to refill. However, the food was delightful! I had the chori-pollo, and it was well-prepared, with a generous helping. The festive atmosphere and colorful decorations made up for the minor hiccup in service. Overall, I’ll return again, just hopefully with a bit quicker service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Cerro Grande is a mixed bag. The food was decent, nothing extraordinary. Service was okay at best, but they weren't very attentive. The ambiance was lively and fun, which is a plus. Overall, I'd give it another shot mainly for the atmosphere, but I hope to see improvements. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to El Cerro Grande was quite satisfactory. The food was good, but I found the portions smaller than expected, especially for a Mexican restaurant. I ordered the fajitas which were tasty and fresh, but wanted more meat. Service was decent, although we did have to wait a while to be seated. The lively music did enhance our experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing great things, I decided to check out El Cerro Grande for a casual dinner. The restaurant was bustling with energy, and the decor was delightful. I ordered the spaghetti salsa, a pleasant surprise of flavors, although it felt slightly Americanized for my taste. The service was prompt and effectively managed, which I appreciated. Overall a good experience but not exactly what I expected in terms of authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)

" We visited El Cerro Grande during a busy weekend and were pleased with our experience. The vibrant atmosphere is infectious, and the service was better than expected. I had the vegetarian burrito, which was delectable, though the portion was adequate rather than huge. My friend had the shrimp tacos and couldn’t stop raving about them. Overall, great value for the money! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Cerro Grande is truly a family favorite! We often come here for celebrations. I particularly love their queso with the chips — it's always warm and delicious. My personal favorite dish is the layered Nachos, which are a meal itself. The atmosphere reflects that of a lively Mexican fiesta, making it a perfect spot when craving great Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Cerro Grande never disappoints! Every time I visit, the food is fresh and flavorful. I particularly love their shrimp fajitas; the portion is generous enough for leftovers. The atmosphere is always buzzing, which adds to the excitement of the meal. Service is usually attentive, though on busy nights you might have to wait a tad longer. Worth every penny!
