"Beat Mexican food in town!! Murph is a staple and must see when at el Cerro, he makes the best margaritas and just overall best bartender around! The cowboy chimichanga is my favorite item on the menu.. it’s their amazing shredded tinga chicken, black beans, corn, cheese and spinach all smothered in a warm blanket of queso and finished with rice and beans insert heart eye emoji the guac, salsa and chips are all just as addictive as this place is! I don’t even live in town any more but I’ve been going here since 2012 and always make a point to stop in when I am
In town! Service, food, staff, and ambiance is always top notch. Just go!"

"Maybe put a sign on the door facing the street that the host podium is located at the side entrance to avoid confusion. The dish In the photo is called a Barilla, not listed below. It was delicious. A crispy fried Taco shell with Shredded beef and cheese served with a unique dipping sauce, Cilantro, red onion and Avocado. The beer was a 22 Oz."

"COCKROACHES on our table!
You wouldn't think I would need to say anything more, but it gets worse. I thought I should let someone know about this disgusting situation so I asked for the person in charge (who I believe was the owner). When he arrived , he made no attempt to pacify any of us at the table. In fact he was quite rude and nonchalant about it all. At the very least an apology and attempt to make things right should have come from him. I highly recommend you avoid this establishment. If not for the bugs then at least for the extremely horrible service."
