Maybe the oldest Mexican restaurant in town. The food and service is always good. The salsa is great for those that don't like spicy or cilantro.

Loved the food, plenty to take home. Lots of room in the restaurant and a large menu. Free chips and salsa. The lunch menu is not honored on Sundays. Restaurant appeared very clean. Give it a try, the food is awesome!

Best chips and salsa made fresh daily, great food and been eating there since 1992 when they opened.
What a treat! We were in town and happened to notice this restaurant so decided to stop in and try it.The food was well seasoned and had great portions. The waitress provided great service and the Margareta was huge and strong.We live about it 2 hours away and we'd definitely take a drive out there to go again.

Disappointed in the food and the service. I ordered birria tacos and the meat tasted old. Manager had a chip on his shoulder when I shared my feedback. I happily utilized my refund and supported El mariachi. Better food, better experience. Thanks ☺️

What a great find! We were passing through the area and looking at the place from the outside it is not impressive at all but I'm glad we dined here. My husband and I both had the Pollo A la Crema. Portions are huge and this meal was delicious. We had lots of left overs and the meal was even better then second day. Their chips and salsa are very good too! We had a great server who made sure we were well taken care of. I would highly recommend giving this place a try if you like Mexican food.

I was really excited about this place and hoping to eat some good Mexican food. I ordered a combination plate of a taco and rellano. I took two bites,and threw it in the garage. Absolutely the worst Mexican food I've ever eaten.You should be ashamed of yourself for selling that to the public. I have had better food at Taco Bell.So sad.

I was there today for the taco Tuesday special.
The server we had could not get the order right and when we asked for some cheese dip he asked if we were being rude.
this is the third time he has messed up my order.
if I do dine there again I will ask for another server besides this one.

We had a work lunch and decided to go to El Cerro Grande. The food selection was good and the food was prepared well. The restaurant is clean and well kept. The staff were friendly and took good care of us.
