With the beginning of Latino Heritage Month, I wanted to support local places and try somewhere j…read morehaven't been before. Thanks to the reviews here, I decided that this would be the place to give a shot. The place is not glamorous. I didn't see a sign with the name of the place outside, and the inside is minimal. Just some tables and chairs. The menu is a QR code and it's also on a chalkboard. Regardless of all of that, the food is truly a journey into a phenom homemade meal. I had the pepian and my friend had the pollo dorado. The wait wasn't bad at all, as we got there about 45 min before they closed, and we dug in immediately. The meat of my dish just fell off the bone in the most beautiful way imaginable and the fried chicken had the most flavorful and light crunch in just a bite. The tortillas are house made and really add to the experience of it all. I also got a Jamaica agua fresca, and it is one of the best I've had in the area. Just sweet enough without the overwhelming flavor of the hibiscus. Simply put, if you want a perfectly cooked homemade meal with excellent flavors, you have to visit this place!!

The interior in nothing fancy with a few tables donned with plastic table clothes and one tv that had a soccer game on while we were there. Everything on the menu looked delicious. And it all had meat in it but my husband improvised and asked to leave the meat out of a burrito. I went for a dish that is only served on the weekends. The fried fish. My meal was perfect. Crispy skin and flaky and tender meat. If you're picky about what your food looks like, this isn't going to be your jam. My fish was bone in, skin on and head still attached kinda fried fish. It was filling and delicious. My husband finished his vegetarian burrito and stared at my food while I ate. I offered a bite and he broke his diet to try some. And he obviously enjoyed it as he helped himself to more. I have a confession to make, I hate sharing my food but this is too good not to share. The service was a little slow but friendly. Cash only. ATMs are down the road, there isn't one at the restaurant.

I ordered the chipotle chicken taco, salmon teriyaki taco, and the crispy fried fish taco, and all three were delicious. The flavors were unique and really well balanced. The salmon teriyaki taco was a standout for me; something a little different from your typical taco but it worked so well. Great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere. I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

If you're into tacos, you definitely have to check this spot out. I tried six different tacos and…read moreevery one of them was solid. The bulgogi taco was probably my favorite. It honestly reminded me of authentic Korean bulgogi, super flavorful and cooked perfectly. I also had the fish taco, salmon taco, and one of their steak tacos, and across the board the meat and fish were really tender and well seasoned. Nothing was dry and everything had great flavor. I also ordered the drunken brisket burrito, and that thing is huge. I'm not even exaggerating when I say it could easily feed two people, maybe even three. The portion sizes here are seriously generous. I tried their wings too and those were amazing. The mix of seasonings and flavors they use really stands out. Overall everything was flavorful, the portions are big, and it's definitely one of those spots you tell your friends about like "yo, we gotta go back there."

We loved the slow cooked corn and classic Cuban so much that I told him we are going to pay him a visit very soon. Here we are 4 days later. They are located at the Covington Yard. There are two other food vendors on the property. We ordered: -Classic Cuban (8") -3 Tacos Caribbean style w/ chicken -Large order of tots We got our meals less than 15 minutes. Wow! The Cuban sandwich is everything I've expected it to be! Super delish! You don't need hot sauce in my opinion, it's packed with great flavor. Btw, they have mass hot sauces to choose from. We tried 3 different kinds for our tots. My Mr really enjoyed his tacos. The seasoned tots were so good! Not greasy and tasted great with their signature sauce (tasted like a yum yum sauce). All hit the spot!!!! What a great experience and I can't wait to come back again and try other items on the menu, but my fave is hands down their Cuban sandwich!

Newer restaurant but delicious. They are new and are expanding their menu. According to what I…read morebelieve was the owner... at least one of the family members, they started with pastries first and added the rest of the menu recently. First I was shocked to see empanadillas were on the menu. It's what I've always known them by they were delicious. More commonly known as empanadas. Next the mofongo was delicious. A ton more meat than we assumed when it was first placed on the table. Everything was amazing and I would 100% come back. We wish we were closer - but we will be back.

Very disappointing experience at El Cerro…read more Unfortunately, this wasn't just a bad visit. The quality and service have been slipping for a while now, and I've continued coming back hoping things would improve. This visit was the final straw. The problems started before the food even arrived. We were seated in what felt like the loudest and most crowded section of the restaurant, despite there being plenty of open tables elsewhere. I asked if it would be possible to move to a different area and was told someone would check. After waiting quite a while and never hearing anything back, I finally had to ask again. At that point, we were told we could move to one of the open tables, but the interaction felt dismissive, as though we were causing an inconvenience by asking. Unfortunately, the experience only went downhill from there. I ordered the Arroz con Pollo, and when it arrived, it had very little cheese on it (see photo). For a $17 plate, it needs to have at least a fraction of cheese on it that you can see. I asked for cheese on my meal because it did not come out the way it normally does. I was not asking for an extra side order. I was simply asking for the dish to be corrected. When the bill came, I was charged for the additional cheese. I explained that I should not have to pay extra for cheese when my meal had come out with little to none on it in the first place. I even offered to show the photo of the original plate, but that was ignored. Instead, I was told that charging for a bowl of cheese is their standard policy. What frustrated me most was that the server had never even seen the original plate because someone else delivered the food. Yet when I explained that this was not how the dish is normally served, I was told it was normal. As a longtime customer who orders this meal regularly, I can confidently say otherwise. There was no apology and no effort to understand the concern. The issue was never really about the charge itself. It was the attitude and lack of customer service throughout the entire visit. It's disappointing because this used to be one of my favorite local restaurants. Unfortunately, the food, service, and overall experience have steadily declined. After this experience, I don't plan on returning.
