This is my go-to spot for Mexican cuisine. The prices are great, the food tastes authentic, and the…read moreservice is consistently amazing. There's usually little to no wait for a table, and the staff keeps things moving with quick, friendly service. The atmosphere is great; a lot of color and art represented everywhere. My personal favorite is the Burrito Loco with steak--always fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. I've tried several dishes on the menu and haven't been disappointed yet. I absolutely love this place and will keep coming back!!!

Unfortunately, this is not the first time we've had this issue, which is why I finally decided to…read morecall the restaurant tonight. Several of us are nurses working tonight and placed a group order from El Cerrito. These were individual meals for different people, not food ordered for everyone to share. Our order included three separate queso fundidos and two steak quesadillas. None of the three queso fundidos came with the flour tortillas. The online menu specifically describes the queso fundido as "Traditional melted cheese served with chorizo and warm flour tortillas." I have included a screenshot of the menu description. We also received only two small bags of chips for the entire group order. When I called, the woman who answered explained that they provide only one bag of chips per order and that the second small bag was given "as a courtesy," regardless of how many individual appetizers or meals are ordered. This policy makes very little sense for a group order. Several people ordered and paid for their own food. Three separate queso fundidos were purchased for three different people--they were not ordered as one appetizer for a group to share. Yet we were essentially told that everyone is expected to share one small bag of chips, with an additional bag considered a courtesy. More importantly, when I asked about the missing flour tortillas, I was told there was "no description" for the queso fundido and that it does not come with tortillas. That directly contradicts the restaurant's own online menu, which clearly states that the queso fundido is served with warm flour tortillas. What makes this especially frustrating is that this has happened to us several times before. We have previously received group orders with inadequate chips and/or missing accompaniments. Tonight was not an isolated mistake. Mistakes with takeout orders happen, and that alone would not have prompted this review. What was disappointing was the repeated issue combined with the argumentative and dismissive response when I finally called about it. There was no attempt to acknowledge that the advertised tortillas were missing or offer a reasonable solution. If the restaurant no longer includes flour tortillas with the queso fundido, the online menu should be corrected. And if multiple customers are placing individual orders together, the restaurant should reconsider a policy that treats the entire transaction as though it were one person's meal. We've ordered from here multiple times, but after repeatedly having the same issue and the way tonight's concern was handled, we'll be much less likely to order again.

I ordered one chicken and one cheese enchilada with a crispy beef taco. I got two cheese enchiladas. It seems like every time I order from here, it's messed up. I don't understand how difficult it is especially being that I worked in a Mexican restaurant for six years. I called them and once again, Daniel told me he would take care of me, like he said the last time they messed up my order. If I ever call again, I think I'm just going to tell them to give me whatever they want because that's what they seem to do anyway. I think I'm just going to stop ordering from here and go to Vallarta's. It's worth a drive and they never screw up my order, not once. I'm tired of wasting $25 every time I go here.
