Very disappointing experience at El Cerro…read more Unfortunately, this wasn't just a bad visit. The quality and service have been slipping for a while now, and I've continued coming back hoping things would improve. This visit was the final straw. The problems started before the food even arrived. We were seated in what felt like the loudest and most crowded section of the restaurant, despite there being plenty of open tables elsewhere. I asked if it would be possible to move to a different area and was told someone would check. After waiting quite a while and never hearing anything back, I finally had to ask again. At that point, we were told we could move to one of the open tables, but the interaction felt dismissive, as though we were causing an inconvenience by asking. Unfortunately, the experience only went downhill from there. I ordered the Arroz con Pollo, and when it arrived, it had very little cheese on it (see photo). For a $17 plate, it needs to have at least a fraction of cheese on it that you can see. I asked for cheese on my meal because it did not come out the way it normally does. I was not asking for an extra side order. I was simply asking for the dish to be corrected. When the bill came, I was charged for the additional cheese. I explained that I should not have to pay extra for cheese when my meal had come out with little to none on it in the first place. I even offered to show the photo of the original plate, but that was ignored. Instead, I was told that charging for a bowl of cheese is their standard policy. What frustrated me most was that the server had never even seen the original plate because someone else delivered the food. Yet when I explained that this was not how the dish is normally served, I was told it was normal. As a longtime customer who orders this meal regularly, I can confidently say otherwise. There was no apology and no effort to understand the concern. The issue was never really about the charge itself. It was the attitude and lack of customer service throughout the entire visit. It's disappointing because this used to be one of my favorite local restaurants. Unfortunately, the food, service, and overall experience have steadily declined. After this experience, I don't plan on returning.

This was yet another great experience here as the service was impeccable as always and the restaurant looked great as usual. We started with an appetizer of their Chori-queso which was as good of version of that dish as we've had anywhere. For my main course I had one of their burritos and Mexican rice. I had shredded steak, cheese, and hot sauce in the burrito and it was soooo good. Their steak especially was just perfect and makes me wanna try a whole steak meal here sometime like a Carne Asada. The rice was outstanding as well. This was as good of a Mexican lunch as I could hope to get anywhere and I can't wait until the next one.

This place has continually gone downhill since it opened. The last time we ordered for pickup they…read morenot only messed up our order, they then proceeded to argue with us about what was supposed to come on our burrito until we pulled out the menu and read it to them. We then had to wait another 30 minutes for them to remake our entire order. When we went today to dine-in, the experience was just as bad. We went with an infant who needed a high chair. Both of the highchairs there were broken and did not have functioning buckles. Then, when it came time for a diaper change, there was no changing table and we had to put our diaper mat on the floor -- which clearly had not been cleaned the night before because they had just opened and it was a mess. When ordering, several of us were told that our preferred dishes were unavailable. So, after changing my order to something they actually had, our server then brought me the wrong order and proceeded to argue about it. They also alarmingly stored their beer in the middle of the dining area. So, after this experience, we will not be returning.

She dropped a menu and never came back. When I went up to the bar with my kids she took zero action or acknowledgement told me no manager was available and told me to have a good day. She seemed literally unbothered by it. She stood there with two other waitresses who did nothing. I hope the owner sees this so I can speak directly with them. The restaurant business has enough competition in Cincinnati and NKY. We go out of our way to patron small local business a d clearly our $50 wasn't needed here tonight. A regular chased us out and was extremely gracious as he knows the owners and was apologizing for what he saw. To be really clear this is the taqueria 3

The wait was going to be too long, though, so we opted for an inside table with a view -- which ended up being better anyway so that we could avoid the heat. Cancun boasts a large menu, and everyone got something different. I got the birria quesadilla, which was good. My only complaint is that the paper that's served under the quesadilla on the plate is very thin, and easily tore whenever I cut into the quesadilla. So I had to inspect each bite to make sure I wasn't eating paper. The flavors were great though! I'd get this again. My son also very much approved of the chicken tender plate. The margarita hit the spot, and the prices were reasonable. I would definitely come back!
