I was impressed by the authentic Mexican food on the menu like menudo and lengua tacos. The corn…read moretortillas were well made and cooked. Service was fair and the food was quickly made. I enjoyed the lengua tacos. I did not care for the menudo and threw all of it away after a few bites. I never threw away food I ordered until I tasted that menudo. It was very bare except for a little meat & tripe and a lot of broth & fatty pieces. I would suggest avoiding the menudo and recommend the tacos. The ambiance was simple, clean, and well decorated. Even though it was one of the few places in the area with good lengua tacos, I don't know if I would visit this place again.

I appreciate that the basic dinner salad was generous and fresh, and carnitas had lots of crispy bits. Great flour tortillas served with dinner too. I'll be back. This isn't a place where they are trying to elevate the food to new levels. This is the kind of place that delivers good food for fair prices. Seems family friendly and had Negra Modelo on tap. Nice experience over all. Thank you to all for that.

Several years ago this was a good place to eat but their food is going downhill. I don't know if…read morethey've changed owners or cooks or what has happened. The customer service is still pretty good but their actual food, not so much. It's not horrible but it's barely passable. But it used to be good. I usually get a burrito or chimichanga but they have become bland and tasteless. Which is strange since it's a Mexican restaurant. You would think there would be more seasoning and more lively flavors but that is not the case here. At least not with those two menu items. When I get a dish that includes rice or beans, they are often cold or barely warm. The last time they spread the rice all over the large plate to make it look like I was getting more than I really was. All that did was make the rice even colder. Even the plate presentation is bland and boring. Sometimes all the food is one color and they don't even bother to sprinkle the plate with a garnish of a few green onions, tomato, or parsley to add some color or visual interest. El Cerro Grande's whole vibe these days is "We don't have very good cooks and we also need to cut corners to save money and we don't really care about the details". This used to be our go-to place where we would meet up with friends for dinner, but we have decided to try some other local Mexican Restaurants. It's not that it's a terrible place, it's just not a very good place either.

It's a hidden gem with ample parking space due to being next to a grocery store. If you have a big party, they can accommodate you and they have tables and booths as well. The server is nice, attentive, and will explain anything if you have questions. Food. We were hungry and we ordered chips, queso and guacamole. The chips came out warm, thin and not greasy. The salsa was served in a little dressing bottle and you can pour as much as you want. The queso was warm and delicious. If you want more chips, they will give you more. They are home made. Our expectation was already met with the appetizers. Our meal was good. The kids portion was generous and we took the leftovers home.
