El Cerro Grande

Like my mom told me their food at El Cerro is just okay. It is not authentic by any means, and it lacks a lot. It left me wanting a lot more than we got. We shared the chicken and beef fajitas for two. One positive is that it came with a lot of meat, peppers, and onions. We had tona of leftovers that could've easily made two more meals. Also, the beans were super hearty and had a nice thick topping of cheese. The chips and salsa were good, with the salsa on the thicker side, which I like.

The negative was just the flavor, not a lot of spice or umph to it. The meat was very dry, like it had been left ln the grill for way too long, and it was barely hanging on. I think that if the meat was less overcooked and the flavor could just step up a little bit it I think it would make a huge difference in the taste. It didn't satisfy Mt craving for Mexican food at all; so I am on the hunt again!

Fajitas - Very Disappointing

My daughter and I dined at the Conway El Cerro on March 3rd at ~ 8 PM. I realize that my expectations of the food served at Mexican restaurants be a bit higher than most being a native of Los Angeles, but the Fajitas served to us on Sunday were a royal disappointment.

They were 'not' brought to the table sizzling with the delicious smells of char-grilled steak, chicken and vegetables. Instead, the contents in the small skillet appeared to have been stir-fried and worse? Contained little-to-no seasoning - the steak and the chicken actually tasted as if it had been boiled in water.

Now, I've dined at this particular El Cerro Grande two before - had a standard lunch combo of three (3) shredded chicken tacos, rice and black beans. It was good; the shredded chicken had cleared been cooked with seasonings.

Perhaps the Cook was having a off-day on Sunday or, really just wanted to quickly wrap things up as closing time was approaching. Either way, there is no excuse for Fajitas tasting this way. I won't be ordering them again.

My daughter loved the kids Mac & Cheese because it was pretty much straight out the box from Kraft and that's how she likes it.

My other daughter killed the taco supreme and she's pretty picky so it just have been pretty good too.

Both the queso and salsa were quality.

I had the fajita burrito which was pretty decent until I was left with just the chicken which I found just okay. So I definitely could have used a higher ratio of the other ingredients.

The price was a little more than I would prefer for the overall meal quality though.

The food is really good. Authentic mexican. Customer service is spot on. Highly recommend

Everything was very nice. As a frequent traveler I have visited many Mexican type restaurants. Some have been poor representatives of Mexican food.
El Cerro Grande in Conway was superior in every way. I had the Chili Rellano combo. I appreciate my delicious lunch.

Running those last minute errands before Thanksgiving and decide to grab some Mexican food to go.

Had Enchiladas Supremo and Chicken Chimichangas. Enchiladas was excellent. Juicy chicken and tasty ground beef and a very flavorful enchilada sauce. Salad and sour cream were in a separate container. Chicken Chimichangas come in twos also very tasty.

Freshly made chips with salsa fresco topped it all off.

Will definitely be back again.

The food is prepared great. They always remember you and take very good care of you. The service is great. Staff is very personable.

The ambience is nice, the music is authentic but that being said the food lacks in flavor and authenticity, menu lacked in variety. I ordered a jumbo burrito and it was filled with mainly peppers and hardly any steak. The burrito was pretty bland when it came to flavor and I only really tasted the cheese sauce. I got the cheesecake for dessert and it was absolutely amazing, moist with light chocolate. I would definitely recommend. Where they do lack in flavor they make up for in service. My server Fredrick was great I never waited long and he was always there with the refill before I got to the bottom of my cup.

We visited today for the first time. Wow, the food was very good. The service was 5 stars . Definitely will be back.

Enjoyed a great, great meal here on a visit to my aunt's and uncle's home. The chips they start you off with are addictive. Fresh. Fresh. Fresh and warm with a nice side of salsa. These might have been the highlight of my meal. I started off with the patron margarita with a sugar rim. Very nice but not to heavy on the Patron which I needed more of
I got the camarones al mojo. Shrimp marinated in garlic, served with rice, lettuce, pico de gallo. Soft tortillas. I had another drink, the Blue Hawaiian--Bacardi rum, Grey Goose, triple arc, pineapple juice and blue Curacao. Very, very sweet and I am surprised I am not in a diabetic coma. Maybe I am and I just dont know it.
