About El Centenario Mexican Grill

El Centenario Mexican Grill is a lively restaurant that offers an authentic Mexican cuisine experience. The staff provides exceptional service, going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant dining experience. The food, such as the chicken fajitas and quesabirria tacos, is prepared to perfection and served quickly. The ambiance is inviting and welcoming, making it a great spot for families. Guests appreciate the large molcajete, which is perfect for sharing among hungry diners. With convenient location and good value for money, El Centenario Mexican Grill is a favored destination for those craving authentic Mexican flavors. The Michelada is tasty and better than other restaurants in the area. Don't miss their happy hour margaritas, which are known to rock your world, and enjoy the lively atmosphere with eccentric music. For fans of spicy food, asking for the hot green or red salsa is highly recommended. The whole fried fish with rice, fresh salad, and roasted jalapeño is cooked perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful inside. The portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh, and the presentation is beautiful. Their rice is full of flavor, the veggies are crisp, and everything tastes homemade. The beefy queso dip is heavily seasoned and tasty. The chicken was seasoned well and was so juicy. The combo platter was delicious too. The portion sizes are definitely worth the money.

This place showed up on Uber Eats and we tried it. So glad we did! We got the seafood and shrimp fajitas and cheese dip. Was great! Hope to stop by in person soon.

Unreal. Beyond Reproach. Staff, food, atmosphere, pricing, connection. This is by far the best experience I’ve had in 20 years in GR in a Hispanic (Mexican) influenced location. The Beltline bar is a “staple” add El Centenario and you’ll never go back. ☯️

My husband and I have frequented this restaurant since it opened. We've received good service and bad service...we've experienced very loud (unwelcome) music (not live) and normal volume music...we've received good food and not-so-good food. We continue to return, so (for us) the good outweighed the bad. Until this weekend!

We always go in for dinner...we have the "punch card" (receive one punch for each visit no matter how many meals you purchase) and receive one free...read full review
