El Cerro Grande

We call this place "The Mexican Library" because the building used to be an old library. It's a pretty cool vibe. El Cerro Grande is a great little Mexican restaurant, hands down. It has become the go-to for our group after some of the other local Mexican joints have seen a decline in their quality of food and service. The food there has been some of the freshest I've had out here in the NKY area, and although I usually don't partake, their top-shelf margaritas are killer!My personal favorite dish so far has been the chilaquiles, but my wife won't stop going on about the beef tongue and how delicious it is. The management/ownership is always around and always shows up to chat when we are there. The only reason I pulled off a star is that it can get a little pricey, but I tend to subscribe to the adage "You get what you pay for" and that rings very true here.

Give this place a try. Food is very good and wonderful flavors. Service is great for a neighborhood restaurant. Portions are large and plentiful. Menu is large and can be intimidating, but ask the manager what he recommends. Have not had a bad meal yet. Drinks are strong and big. Always a good time. Definitely will keep going back

This is the third visit and authentic tacos were so tasty! The service was outstanding a very attentive server food was piping hot and tasted like it had been made with care! Time to try some flan!

We love this restaurant! The outside seating is great and the service is always amazing. On our last trip I got the shrimp enchiladas that were incredible but any food I have had here has been so good! We definitely recommend!!

I am not a fan of having green beans, peas, carrots, and corn in mexican rice. Wild. Chile Relleno is basically a chile in an omelet, another shocker. Never coming back.

The service was pretty good, that's the most positive thing I can say.Now the negatives. Prices on menu aren't what we were charged. A child's soggy burrito with beans was $9. That's ground beef mixed with potatoes and it was both greasy and somehow wet. Had to request a second tortilla and napkins to actually make it into a burrito. Menu price said $5.25, but I was charged $8.99 and told menu prices weren't accurate. I ordered carnitas. What I received was flavorless chunks of pork with 2 whole jalapeños statued in. Nothing roasted, literally tasted of jalapeño only. Menu price was at least closer, only $1 off. Salsa provided helped a ton, but this was incredibly bland. Ultimately I would not order either menu item again and the lack of menu pricing means I recommend you skip this altogether.

Food and drinks are delicious and service is always nice. I just docked a star because it can get a little pricey if you're not careful.

BEWARE of what they CHARGE You!!! This is a restaurant that I frequent often because it's very close to home. I like the food. It's flavorful and good. The employees are polite and helpful. I usually do a takeout order when my husband is out of town because he doesn't care for Mexican, usually once a week. Here lately, in the last 6 to 8 weeks, every time I go to pick up, the price is different I order the same exact thing every single time!!! I asked if prices had increased, and yes they did in April. This is Aug 1. Sometimes it's $11 something, sometimes $12 something, sometimes $13 something and tonight $14 something!! For the same exact thing!! I've had enough. I won't be back. Geez no one likes to be overcharged.

It's clean, the service is pretty quick, the service has been good. It's your typical Mexican restaurant to me, which is great! AND it's a bit more expensive than the others. You will have a solid, filling, what you need meal by going here.

It's soooooo expensive to not even be good food. It all was dry and pretty bland tbh. service was also terrible. it was us and 1 other table in the restaurant and we waited 20 minutes before my husband went to find someone to pay. Would go to literally any other Mexican restaurant.
