Review: I've been eating here for years. I would recommend it to anyone! The service is excellent the food is great and there is NO wait. You order your food and before you can enjoy the wonderful chips and salsa... your food is on the table. If you've never been there it's a must.

Review: Excellent service, very attentive and we have enjoyed the food every time. We are frequent customers of the North Myrtle Beach restaurant. Salsa is wonderful and prices are very reasonable.

Review: I live across the street from El Cerro Grande in Garden City. I've eaten there twice and once at another branch. As Mexican food, I think it is the pits! Very poorly prepared and inauthentic. I am a native of Los Angeles and have eaten Mexican food since I was a child. I have eaten at both "gringo tourist trap" type Mexican restaurants and also very authentic ones in Mexican neighborhoods. Anyone reading this who feels that I'm full of it, I wish I could take you for some of the wonderful Mexican food available on the West Coast. The benchmark to rate a Mexican restaurant's food -- many believe -- is how well they prepare a chile relleno. To me, those at El Cerro Grande are so horrible they are off the scale. And, the guacamole sucks! I was shocked that the food served there is prepared and also consumed by Mexicans. I would love to be writing this in praise of the restaurant because since relocating to this state 18 months ago, I have found but one decent Mexican restaurant, which is very frustrating. I won't name it here, but it's on Highway 17 Alternate a few miles from Summerville. You may think I sound like a jerk and that I should go back to Los Angeles, which I do twice a year, but I think I have the credentials to know good Mexican food, and El Cerro Grande is malisimo (terrible)!!!

Review: Our experience was way below standard for us. The restaurant was lovely, but if we saw our waiter more than 3 times, it was a lot. The food was luke warm when it arrived and the waiter never came back to check on us. Being all mexican food, we had no idea what most things were and no explaination on the menu. We eat out alot and now think that El Patio is superior to El Cerro Grande. The cost was pretty good, if you knew what you were ordering. They never offered us any sauce to go on our tacos or any condiments, for that matter. We probably will not return.

Review: A great casual dining experience. Food has always be great and many different dishes all with their own unique taste. The salsa are great, be sure to ask for the free HOT salsa rather than the complimentary standard salsa they bring = green salsa if they have it that day. Very good prices, especially during Happy Hour.

Review: I have eaten at El Cerro Grande since they opened in the late 80's. I have never experienced the problems or service that the person above claims. It is one of the cleanest mexican restaurants I have been in. The food is superb and always hot.

Review: I'm a local and I love El Cerro Grande. I think they have excellent food. They also have a good variety to choose from. The waiters are always very friendly. It is all around a great place to eat for someone wanting some authenic Mexican food. Everyone I know who enjoys Mexican food loves El Cerro Grande.

Review: I have found roaches in my food twice there. The first time was in the nachos and I thought it might be an isolated incident. I informed the server (Frank) and he said there was no extra charge for bugs. The second time was in my entree weeks later when I finally got up my nerve to go back. I quietly told my server and asked for another entree. He came back with food in To-Go boxes. When I got home he had packed up the roach food. There was no language barrier there because he spoke English and I speak Spanish. I am also a 50% tipper so it was not punishment for bad tipping. They just don't care.
