" My first visit to El Cerro was memorable! The atmosphere was lively with bright decor. I ordered the elote and it was so good! The service was prompt, and I loved the ambience. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for solid Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to El Cerro Tacos on a recommendation, and I was not disappointed. The ambiance is cozy, like a true taco joint! I loved the queso dip, but the tacos were the highlight of the meal – so good and authentic! The only downside was that the service could have been a bit more attentive. Overall, I will come back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can confidently say that this is one of the best places for authentic Mexican food in the area! The quesabirria tacos were packed with flavor, and I really enjoyed the lively atmosphere. My only critique would be the wait time, as it took a while for our food to arrive, but once it did, it was worth it. I recommend the mango margarita to go along with your meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is the place to be for taco lovers! I’ve been here a couple of times, and the food is always fresh and delicious. The birria ramen is an unexpected treat, and so filling! The wait staff is attentive and friendly, making for a great dining experience every time. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my family to El Cerro and we had a great experience! The kids loved their meals. The quesabirria tacos were a hit, and the nachos were loaded! The wait was a bit long, but the friendly service made up for it. We'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was disappointed with my latest visit. The poblano burrito wasn’t stellar, and the service felt rushed. Even with a busy restaurant, one would expect better timing. I may give it another chance on a less busy day but wasn't thrilled this time. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food was just okay, and I didn't feel it represented authentic Mexican flavor. The workers seemed overwhelmed, and my order was incorrect. I might try it just for the birria next time, but my overall experience wasn’t great. " (*Curated Review*)
