I had a burrito. Literally was cheese with a side of tortilla and a few beans with tough pork. Ended up buying a side of beans and rice in order to try to salvage the burrito. Ive never been to a place that used cheese so heavily. read more

Even though the rating of El Cerrito was 3.8 we thought we would decide for ourselves. Plus, we were hungry and tired and needed to eat. It was 5:30 on a Saturday and not too crowded. We were seated quickly. Our server took a bit to ask for any drinks. We ordered a strawberry margarita and a skinny margarita. Both tasted like sweet and sour mix. We should have sent them back, but we are just too nice. They came in really beautiful glassware. Again, it took a bit of time for the server to take our order. He was friendly and kind. Maybe they just don't schedule enough help on a Saturday evening.‍ Our food came in a timely manner. My husband ordered the carnitas burrito which he said was really good! I ordered the chicken salad with avocado. The chicken was delicious, but the lettuce was so saturated in water that it felt like a soup salad. I could not eat it. Again, it's my fault for not sending it back. However, I couldn't even had if I wanted too. Our server never came back. After my husband finished his meal, it must have been 20 minutes before any server walked by for us to ask them to find our server for the bill. He came promptly and set the card reader on the table and left to get a box. The machine they use has you manually enter your credit card. Kinda weird. On a more positive note the restaurant is clean with a unique ambiance. When we left there were many people waiting outside to get a table and the restaurant was pretty full. So clearly, many people love this restaurant. read more

Our ABSOLUTE favorite authentic mexican food! Service is always amazing, cadillac margaritas and on point, and all the food from the chips and salsa, guacamole, sopes, tacos, enchiladas, I mean EVERYTHING is delicious!! read more

Stopped in to have a good margarita.... Been here before for food and all was good, no complaints. However, came solely for a "good" margarita........total fail. As soon as you see it poured out of a plastic 1 gal jug...... It was garbage, so disappointed. Back story: I actually stopped at another Mexican restaurant first for a "good"margarita and food. Same scenario, their margarita was from a plastic jug. I actually came here to get over the disappointment knowing they have a full bar thinking, theirs must be freshly made.... Nope, disappointment #2 for the day.... Come on man......... read more

A buddy and I decided to eat breakfast about 1030 am on a Saturday. We brought along his son who was home for the weekend. I ordered the Chilaquelas with eggs beans and potatoes. My buddy had the huevos divorciados and his son knew to get the El Cerrito special burrito which has a Chili relleano stuffed inside as a cheesy yummy surprise. Beautifully decorated inside and very clean. The bar looks like a sports fan's heaven, (please Uber) and the staff are both friendly and attentive. The Chilaquelas plate was a mixed review. I had Chili Verde so it was green sauce which seemed to make the chips soggy and mushy. The chili verde was tender and tasty. All I have to say about the frijoles is MORE!. My buddy loved the Huevos Divorciados and I was shocked his son was able to eat that huuuge El Cerrito Special Burrito! He loved it. Honestly the price for three big men was not horrible in the current situation and the waitress was very nice to us while checking often. Yummy in my tummy! read more

The restaurant is decent and looks like they a large selection of food on their Sunday buffet. The price is $35 for the buffet and if you can eat that much I'm sure you would be satisfied My wife had the combo and I had the Chile verde plate. It was Ok but needed more heat and was a little watery for my taste I'm sure we will come by again when weee in the area. read more

El Cerrito Mexican Restaurant - Chile Verde pork plate with rice&beans - Mexican Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

My husband and I love this place. Everything we order is always delicious and the service is great. The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars instead of 5 is because they charge $2 for TWO tortillas. We got a molcajete, which was humungous and delicious, but how could anyone eat that with two tortillas? That would be one tortilla per person. Unacceptable. read more

El Cerrito in Rancho Cucamonga is an absolute five-star spot and one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area. The hostess was a little serious and didn't give a welcoming vibe, maybe she was having a bad day. BUT The food is amazing everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and authentically made. The portions are generous, the plates are well presented, and you can tell a lot of care goes into every dish, whether it's tacos, enchiladas, or their signature plates. Our server was incredible! very attentive. What really sets El Cerrito apart is the overall experience. The service is fast without feeling rushed, the drinks are perfectly made, and the prices are more than fair for the quality you get. It's a great place for family dinners, celebrations, or just a casual night out. If you're in Rancho Cucamonga and craving top-tier Mexican food with great service and a comfortable vibe, El Cerrito is 100% worth the visit. read more

It's ok. Prices are good. Service was fast and friendly. Place is small. Food is ok, I felt it was more like a Taco Bell.

My family enjoy coming to this location. The service never disappoints and the food! This is one of our favorite Mexican food locations to visit. Been coming here for years and the food quality remains the same. It's been hard finding good places to eat, since Covid we have noticed a lot locations food quality was not the same. I was contemplating on giving a 4 Star today because my husband wanted garlic shrimp with his dish and we were told they didn't have the garlic for the shrimp. It was pretty disappointing knowing it was 2/14, which you expect to be busy therefore be fully stocked. We visited around 11am, I believe restaurant opens at 9am. I ended up giving the 5 stars because the service was great and the food was still amazing! read more

BIG shout out to Francisco! He was the only person here with multiple tables. He was a superstar handling every table. We didn't even know at first he was by self. What ever you are paying him he deserves more! read more

This place has amazing food and good service. The house margaritas are awesome Prices aren't too bad & you get a lot of good food

Not sure what happened to this place but our server had zero personality and rarely checked on us for refills. The other server or food runner helped us out. Saw our original server for the check lol. Our drinks didn't taste like there was any alcohol in them and weren't the right color. They used bagged lettuce for taco/tostada salads. We usually go to the one on baseline and never disappointed. I won't be coming to this location again. Completely different vibe. read more

I've been here twice and once was for taco Tuesday. It was a great experience both times, the food is really good and the prices are too.

I finally tried El Cerrito after literal YEARS of meaning to stop by. At the last minute (the best things seem to happen spontaneously) I decided to eat here with a friend. And wow, it did not disappoint! We shared the carne asada fries and camarones a la plancha. I got a Cadillac margarita and we shared churros and ice cream for dessert. I wasn't extremely hungry, but I finished everything! The flavors were amazing, food was fresh, and the service was top notch. I'm kicking myself for not going here sooner but also happy I finally made it happen. Every bite was delicious! read more

First and last time going here. Coffee was great beans were ok everything else was horrible. Ordered the Chile rayano with a cheese enchilada, the chili rayano smelled and tasted rotten waiter said that it was the cheese, but the cheese does not taste rotten like that. Then as we were sitting there a cockroach that look pregnant was walking on the wall right beside us. I notified the waiter and it didn't even phase them. I immediately got up and walked to the front to offer to at least pay half. They had the audacity to wanna charge me full price. I thought that was ridiculous. Never again will I go back or recommend this place horrible!!!!! read more
