El Cerro Grande is a family friendly Mexican restaurant with a welcoming staff that is so friendly and amazing. The food is always delicious and served hot. The owners, waiters and waitresses are always smiling and willing to get you whatever you need no matter how busy they are. The cooks are top of the line and I look forward to visiting a couple times a week. I also love the live music and the birthday celebrations. They also have outdoor events during the summer time....

It's all about the taco loco at this place. If you go, get it and you won't be disappointed!!! I've never had a bad dish from here. Every plate always seems to have a ton of food for the price you pay. The servers are always friendly and attentive. I definitely have to say it's one of my top go to Mexican restaurants.

Food was okay. Plenty of meat in my ground beef Chimichanga. Friendliness of staff was just okay. Music was loud but it could be because there were very few customers. Took awhile to get my order taken. Overall I will probably give them another try.
