On the El Cerro website, is a statement about how El Cerros began, "Their goal was to open a family…read morerestaurant that didn't just serve Mexican food, but gave the Grand Strand community an experience of Mexico." Right after that statement is a picture of about 10 Mexican bandits wrapped in bandoliers which hold about 200 individual bullets each. Is that the kind of "experience of Mexico" they were meaning? Just kidding. Sort of. I spend too much time looking at sub-text, I think. Bandoleros and bandoliers aside, lunch was fantastic. Maybe the servers are used to folks coming in packing because my server was excellent--helpful, deferential, not in the sucking up way, but in the I've Got Something Good And Want To Share It With You way, and was able to keep my salsa mainline drip going without prompting. I thought the chile relleno on the side I ordered, would be a little baby poblano stuffed with some cheese, but when he asked what I wanted on it, I shrugged and said chicken. What arrived was pretty much another entire lunch--a giant pepper topped with cheese and chicken. A great, soporofic meal. I took an hour nap after. I dreamed of Salma Hayek.

It's located close to McCleod hospital and seems to be a popular spot. The pupusas' are delicious and their tacos are on point. Make sure to try their salsas. The restaurant itself isn't anything fancy but it seems clean. The service is good and I heard the server explaining to someone what goes into a pupusa which if you've never had one I highly recommend that you try it.

We settled on Taco Mundo Kitchen y Cantina and it was a great choice. It was very busy but the service and food delivery kept us on track to get to the show. Tamara was the bartender and she has a dry sense of humor that I found great (I'm sure some people wouldn't get her - I did) We did a cheese quesadilla, which was perfect to split. I also had a Cliente super (habanero as opposed to a normal with a jalapeno). It definitely had a bite.

Since they opened 4 years ago, we always make a point to dine at Roca Roja. This year was…read moredifferent. While the food was delicious and drinks were flavorful, the atmosphere and service left me underwhelmed. Plus the tables and chairs looked tired and well worn. Our drinks were ordered first and not served until after we started eating...and only after a couple of inquiries. They were quite flavorful. Especially the cucumber jalapeño martini. It appeared the only bartender was also waiting tables. The kitchen staff were the highlight of our experience, because our food was delivered at the speed of light! Carnitas Verde were tender and mouth watering. They were so good that I ate them with a fork vs wrapping them in a tortilla. The verde sauce had the perfect amount of heat. Plus the portion size was generous. We sat inside by the door to the back porch. Unfortunately the door leading outside didn't close properly, so every time staff went outside, we were blasted with nuclear hot heat. Even after closing the door ourselves and mentioning the issue several times, it appeared the staff was unable to keep the door closed which made for a very unpleasant dining experience. I think we were all sweating profusely and ready to leave quickly to get back to the comfort of our AC! Our table service for 6 was also subpar. We had to repeatedly find our server to ask for drink refills and finally our checks. When preparing our checks, he came back to the table 3 times to ask us which orders were on our 3 checks. Even then our checks were incorrect. We simply decided to pay without attempting to rectify the error with our server. I understand staffing can be a challenge. Besides the bar, the restaurant appeared adequately staffed for a 5:30pm dinner service. Possibly they were having POS issues. Maybe it was an off night. Or maybe our server was new and inexperienced. Bottom line, I'll have a difficult time convincing my family to indulge me with my annual visit to Roca Roja visit next year.
