El Cerrito Mexican Restaurant

The food was delicious. I got the lunch special for dinner and it was only 1.00 more at dinner time. The service was a little slow.

Absolutely love it here. Food is outstanding. Margaritas are the best. Staff very friendly. Food comes out quickly. Haven't had a bad meal yet. Barle burrito is one of my favorites.

As a native Californian, I didn't have high hopes but I was completely been away. I had an incredible burrito and the margarita pitcher was a great deal.

Food has excellent flavor butt the building is too small for the crowd waiting to be seated. Wait-staff is always extremely friendly and on top of refills and requests.

This place is usually my favorite spot to get good authentic Mexican food. However, last night night was different.
There was a line out the door, but they were seating people so we decided to wait. After being in line for a while we realized that you have to sign in on paper at the register, but there was no sign, nor did anyone tell us that we needed to sign in to get seated. Then we finally get seated and it took a long time to even put a drink order in, so we ordered our food at same time as drinks. Took about 40 minutes to get our food. My sizzling steak was so burnt that the steam from it made me choke and cough, so a waiter removed it from in front of me until it quit sizzling, then sat it right back in front of me! They expected me to eat it! Once I took a pic of my food they came and asked if it was too burnt. By this point I'm so mad and embarrassed bc we were sitting right in the middle of the restaurant and everyone was watching me! Then by the time o got my food my hubby was done eating. Worst date night ever!
