Another little Mexican spot that did not disappoint in Springtown. Service was good I mean, we didn't really ask for much but they took care of us and that's all that mattered. Lots of neat decor on the walls I wish I would've taken a little more photos... Next time The food was phenomenal. I do not recall the name of my dish, but it was chicken breast with some sort of cheese on it avocado and then some vegetable vegetables that were all cooked perfectly. My girlfriend got this big bowl of shrimp sausage steak and I think a little piece of some roasted cheese. She seemed to enjoy every bit of it. The chips and salsa were great as well, which is always the reason to go to a Mexican restaurant. If the chips and salsa are not good, then you do not return - am I right? This will be one of our meet up spots for sure. read more

Came here with family after visiting their nearby church. We were greeted and seated immediately upon entry. Our server was friendly and very attentive. The bathrooms were very clean. The ambiance was casual, laid back and family friendly. Both our drink and food orders came out in a very timely fashion. Everyone said their food was seasoned perfectly. We would absolutely be back here again if in the area! read more

El Cerrito - Queso Fundido Melted cheese with beef or chicken fajita, grilled onions and peppers, garnished with small salad. - Mexican Near Me - Springtown, Texas

Great place to grab something to eat. I was looking for something simple and good. I settled on the shredded chicken salad. Great flavor, perfect deep fried shell. My only complaint? The restaurant was freezing! Maybe it was the section I was put in but goodness! Would I recommend? Sure. Will I return? Yes. Worth the price? $15 chicken salad was small. Maybe not worth that. read more

Better than any others I've tried on Jacksboro Hwy. 5.0 - Chips & Salsa 4.0 - Beef Fajitas 4.0 - Bean/Cheese Nachos 4.5 - Refried Beans 4.0 - Charro Beans: Bacon & Jalapeños! 5.0 - Frozen Margarita 3.0 - Beer: out of XX on draft, no Pacifico in bottles, but XX in bottles good enough 4.0 - Facility - simple, old, worn out seats but kept well enough 4.5 - Bathroom - surprisingly nice (relative score for simple Mexican restaurant in strip mall) 3.5 - Service: but we sat at table in the bar read more

Had several men in our group, the service was very good and our orders were delivered promptly. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food. The only complaint we had was they charged a fee for a group. We usually tip better than the fee. read more

Food- hot sauce is runny thin , sour cream was runny like milk, waitress came to the table about 10 times I think she was waiting for me to complain. There was not very many people there for a Friday night I think it's going downhill fast .5 of the wait staff were standing in the corner laughing and cutting up read more

Menu prices are different than the prices they charge. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED! Be very careful! Savannah, the manager specifically stated that her boss knows the menu prices are inaccurate. Savannah stated her boss is aware but has done nothing about it. She stated that the boss has been working on new menus for months. read more

El Cerrito is a great, economical, Mexican food joint. We started with the chips and salsa. The chips were light and thin, and the salsa had a nice flavor without too much heat. The waitress was quick and attentive, and it appeared all the servers had been trained pretty well. They had spinach enchiladas and avocado enchiladas. That's always worth noting. My wife had the spinach enchiladas and was pleasantly surprised. I had the combo, which wasn't on the menu. The 3 enchilada dinner offered chicken with sour cream sauce, cheese, or beef. I wanted all 3, and they accommodated me easily. I also asked for an add-on taco, even though it wasn't on the menu, and they took care of that too! Man, you GOTTA have add-on tacos for $2! Double your profit margins! The enchiladas were filling, but I noticed they were on the small side. At a $9 plate instead of a $15 plage, I didn't have a problem... and I didn't go away hungry. Not the TOP place in the area, but it's probably a solid #2! Way better than the "chain" places up the street! 4 STARS to #ShopLocal read more

Food is good. Never the same employees which could mean management issues. Younger employees seem lazy. They take your order but never refill drinks or take your plates when finished. I feel sorry for the bus boys and understand why they leave the plates behind. Let the wait staff try to carry one of the bus tubs with all those heavy plates inside. Additional staff training would make this place 4 maybe 5 star. read more

We got there and we were seated quickly. The margaritas were not bad! But my kids' drinks were awesome! Food came WAY FASTER than expected. Our waiter was the BEST! The food was decent. read more

I went to El Cerrito for the first time. And as someone who loves Mexican food, I have a lot to compare it to. I was blown away at the taste of the salsa that came with the chips, so I knew my food was gonna be delicious. I ordered the beef Guiso *a hidden menu item* and it was delicious. When I walked in, they hosts was very pleasant, she offered me a table, but I decided to sit at the bar, which is full service. At the bar they had two TV with a sports on. The bar is separate from the rest of the restaurant incase kids don't need to see people drinking. Which I appreciated. All this to say I really enjoyed my experience at El Cerrito, the ambiance was very culturally appropriate and felt like I was in Mexico. I highly recommend this Mexican restaurant to anyone in Springtown, TX or people driving through. read more

I really enjoy this place. A lot of times when you get into rural areas and try lower priced Mexican food it is bland and not good, but not here! Everything here is really enjoyable from the chips and queso, to the tacos, fajitas, I'll eat it all. The service is great. Their sweet tea is legit. Definitely if you're in the Springtown area check it out. read more

I ordered two fajita tacos to go that were $13. I asked for some me I would have to pay for salsa and chips because it was to go and that would be 3.99 , I told him no I don't want chips and salsa. I just want a little bit of salsa to go with my tacos. They give me any salsa at all unless I paid I never heard of a place that sells tacos that doesn't have complementary salsa to go with them. Looks like I'll have to find a new place to buy me some tacos. read more

I liked El Cerrito. The food was tasty, served warm, the beer ice cold, and the service efficient and friendly. In addition, they were open late, so after a full day of work, I was ready for some good TexMex. There is a large variety of menu items to choose from including all of your favorite Mexican food. You won't go wrong with any of the taco plates or enchilada plates. Casual atmosphere. Overall, a good, solid choice for some really good Mexican comfort food. read more

The food was ok. Not the greatest. Service was not the greatest. They over charge in drinks.

WOW! I can understand slight issue but ordering a to go fajita's for two, getting home and - no rice, beans AND tortillas.....really? Luckily we had tortillas and started eating. THEN they call! Letting us know they forgot the beans and rice. My wife mentioned they forgot the tortillas as well. Did they offer ANYTHING other than to drive back while we're already eating with what WE had at home? Nope! I'm not sure who runs this place but that is almost impossible to mess up THAT bad without TRYING. Lost our business and every person I know. read more

Food is on the greasy side also the beef in a burrito was kinda tough and the service was ok

Great food, great staff friendly and efficient but needs a new location or possibly a remodel.

Decided we would go eat here tonight; been coming for years. We had our two year old granddaughter and one year old grandson with us and we stopped at McDonald's and for them some nuggets. The hostess sat us and told us that we cannot take the McDonald's food out of the sack while we are there. WTH for real you are going to deny a 1 & 2 year old their food. Seriously that is sorry! We will NEVER be back! Thought the new management would be better but nope!!! Guess they didn't want our business as well as some others that were about to go inside. We told them about it and they too turned and went back to their car. read more

The restaurant is clean, the staff is attentive, and the food is delicious. The rice had carrots and green beans, and the refried beans were addictive. The chicken in my fajitas were well seasoned, and the peppers seemed fresh. I will definitely return! read more

Hubby & I drive to Springtown several times a year to make our contribution to the Garden Center. This time it was lunch time and we decided to try El Cerrito. They were busy as it was Sunday at lunch but we were seated promptly. Our waiter was very pleasant but kept forgetting to bring my husband a salsa refill. The light & tasty chips were so good the salsa didn't stay around long! Hubby ordered a Chicken Chili Relleno and I had the Spinach Enchiladas. The Relleno was stuffed with yummy shredded chicken and my enchiladas were stuffed with an awesome spinach mixture. The rice and beans and guacamole were really good and flavorful. I'm thinking our future trips to the Garden Center need to be timed around lunch so we can come back! read more

We eat here quite frequently, enjoy the food and the staff is always very friendly. It has become our go to restaurant, no complaints!

Food was ok not great. It's Mothers Day and this was my Mothers Day Gift. They forgot my meal.

And when I call them to tell them I didn't get my meal. The mother as in Mother's Day they blame me!!! This was my first and last time to order here!!! So blame the one who is to celebrated.

Ate there tonight, there was a live cockroach in the chips. Waiter told the manager- who never came to address it. When we were checking out she (the manager) asked how everything was, and the cockroach got brought up- she laughed- I said I was serious, and she tried to blame it on our waiter... poor kid. Management like that is what makes businesses tank. Also- the food was not as good as it has been in the past. 1/10 at best. read more

Apparently, this restaurant is under new ownership. and, sadly, I am NOT impressed. The guacamole was on par with something I would expect from a Taco Bell (too much sour cream, not much avacado). The salsa was watery. The nachos were bland. The beans tasted like something straight out of a can. We also found a lot of small dust like particles on our food. I'm disappointed as this was one of our favorite places to eat. read more
