Best Mexican food in town!! Murph is a staple and must see when at el Cerro, he makes the best margaritas and just overall best bartender around! The cowboy chimichanga is my favorite item on the menu.. it’s their amazing shredded tinga chicken, black beans, corn, cheese and spinach all smothered in a warm blanket of queso and finished with rice and beans *insert heart eye emoji* the guac, salsa and chips are all just as addictive as this place is!

A+++ Great food and great service!!! Lunch enchiladas were really good. I like to sub their poblano sauce for the enchilada sauce. THEIR poblano sauce is the best I’ve ever had. Marco and Marianne were outstanding servers! Both were very friendly and attentive. Marianne and Rey also went above and beyond to help me with a couple of ToastTab issues.Thank all of you for a great dining experience today!

Our first of hopefully many visits. Great vibe, friendly staff and Muy Delicioso Comida! I got the Shrimp and Cream, my fiance' got Carnitas Chimichangas and we can't wait to come back and try the Shrimp Diablo that our waitress recommended for next time. Everything was fresh and Delicious!

Sunday Night Party of 6. There was no wait time for a roomy booth to sit in. The aesthetics are very lively, festive and welcoming. The menu features all the classic cuisine you would expect to see. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the classic enchiladas. Comes with one chicken,one cheese and one beef. Comes with rice and beans. Very delicious.

We had dinner with local friends while on vacation and this place did not disappoint! The mini chimis app is a must!! Yum! Loud atmosphere but our kids were probably contributing to that as well so we didn’t mind as much. Good service and food came out fast! Generous portions. Would definitely visit again when in town!
