El Cerrito

We had a phenomenal lunch here today! The food was excellent and service was exceptional. The lovely waiter brought yummy chips and salsa to the table, and I ordered extra guac which was nicely seasoned. For mains we had a pastor burrito and enchiladas suizas - both came with rice and refried beans, and both were absolutely delicious! Portions were so generous we had to take half home for later! We will absolutely be back, what a great find.

I don't want to give a low rating because I know times are tough, but the food here is terrrrrrrible! We ordered at steak burrito and a chicken quesadilla. The burrito was overly filled with undercooked pinto beans and hard rice. There was some little meat pieces if you look for them and a few strands of lettuce. The burrito was dry and crunchy, not good and would never recommend to even my enemy. The chicken quesadilla was cooked in a stenchy old oil and the whole togo box was drenched in the orange oil. Got all over the bag and table, nasty. Old oil is smelly, which this was. I'd never visit this restaurant and would never recommend to anyone. I'm not sure why they have so many good reviews... I would give 1-star if I could without feeling bad.

From the complimentary chips and salsa to the delicious crab enchilada, El Cerrito never skipped a beat, the portions were generous and the food cooked to perfection. Service remained quick and friendly for the duration of our stay. Although, compared to the competition the prices seemed a little steep, ranging from $15-$20 per main dish, personally I'd say it was still worth it though.
