What our guests are saying
We had such an amazing experience at El Cerro Grande, and our server Christian made it even better! From the moment we sat down, he was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. He stayed on top of everything without being overbearing, made sure our drinks were always full, and checked in at the perfect times. If you’re dining at El Cerro Grande, definitely ask for Christian — he’s the best! We’ll absolutely be back because of him! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We’ve been here a few times and every time we’ve had a great experience! They’ve been very accommodating when we’ve had larger parties. The staff are very attentive and nice.

Went there around lunch time on 12/7/25 with about 10 heads including crazy kids. Our waiter was top notch and all staff was smiling and quick to help if we needed anything. I’m not the type to leave a review but this experience left me no choice. Susy the manager I think her name is really has the place at a 10/10
