It took almost 10 minutes just for the waitress to make it to our table to take our drink order. Once the waitress actually got my drink right (brought diet coke instead of Dr.Pepper) she started taking our food order. My girlfriend and I are vegetarians so we asked for no meat on our nachos, which confused her. She asked us to repeat the order and continued to press that we get chicken on our nachos. The waitress wouldnt stop reading our order back to us long enough to hear that I wanted extra sour cream and my girlfriend wanted onions. So when the plates came out, we had neither. Thats fine...it only took 7 minutes for us to get onions for our nachos. Another party members burrito was cold, and the other had burnt chips with her nachos. After we barely made it thru our meal we were being rushed out. The waitress brought the check and took a couple plates, one before she was even finished. A couple minutes pass and another party member finished her plate, literally as soon as she took the last bite the waitress took her plate...this party member didnt even get a chance to put her fork down from her mouth!!! After another minute the waitress came back and was requesting my mothers plate, who wasnt even close to being finished. Once we realized that the waitress was obviously rushing us to leave, we asked for a to-go plate and stood up. AS SOON AS WE STOOD UP the waitress came (basically pushed her way to the table) with a wet towel and was wiping it down. Tl;Dr: the food was bad, the order was wrong, the service was the worst service Ive ever received from any restaurant, and we were being rushed for half the time we were in the restaurant. Honestly, the only way you can enjoy this restaurant is if youre too drunk to realize youre in a terrible restaurant.

I recently moved to Prattville with my wife and we have tried 3 other Mexican places before this one (El Patron, Casitas, Mexico Tipico). I can honestly tell you this is the best Mexican food around here and possibly in the state of Alabama. We are connoisseurs of good Mexican food and are from a town where there are a plethora of Mexican restaurants. We frequent Mexican restaurants weekly, so I can assure you I know good Mexican food. This place beyond exceeded our expectations. Cheese dip is godly. Salsa deserves a Nobel peace prize. Margaritas were actual margaritas, made with fresh limes (mix-free). Verde sauce should be bottled and preserved for future generations to enjoy. Service rivals 5 star restaurants Ive eaten at. The chef deserves 3 Michelin stars. Gustavo, the owner, is a class act and treated us like family. This review may seem comical but I am being dead serious. If you value good local restaurants, go spend your money at this palace. It deserves 10/10 stars but 5/5 will do.

I really like their food, the buffet, and most of the staff. I really wish I could give them 5 stars but I cant for one very good reason. One of the waiters is a bit too creepy. He constantly makes faces and tries to touch your kids when he walks by to check on your table! Yeah, i know, you think he is trying to be friendly, I get it. I thought the same thing. But this is the creepy part. He does it repeatedly when its obvious some kids dont care for him! If a child hides their face and gets close to the parent that means they are scared and its time to move along! If he leaves, I will go back. Till then, they will not get anymore of my business!

Were from NC and in our hometown we have our favorite Mexican restaurant. El Cerritos reminded us of home. Loved their buffet. The first time we went was on a very busy Fathers Day and the food on the buffet seamed much more fresh and tastier, better flavored. The last time we were in Alabama (in March), the place wasnt half as busy and the food wasnt as fresh or flavored/spiced as well. Was dissapointing but, Id give them another chance.

My husband and I LOVE this place! Its such a nice family atmosphere and the food is phenomenal. They are so catering and offer such personal service. I can honestly say when we moved to this area we tried every Mexican restaurant and I didnt like any of them and then we tried El Cerrito and we havent been anywhere since. Well continue to come as long as theyre open!

We are a family of nine. We love the weekend buffet. My kids can eat them out of house and home. All of our favorites are on the buffet. I dont think they can cook churros as fast as we can all eat them. The price is right, the service is spectacular, and I have yet to try anything that I didnt just love.

Super Bowl Sunday and our server was consistently checking in on us instead of the game, AWESOME SERVICE! Food was delicious! Not sure of the mans name but 6:50 pm on February 5th we got the kind of service Id hope for from a "suit and tie required" establishment, well be back again!

In town for a golf trip. Not many choices that arent chains. 12 guys and everyone loved this restaurant. Food is excellent as well as the margaritas! Ate there twice during our trip and definitely will go back. Shrimp fajitas and shrimp tacos with their extra hot sauce was fantastic!

I have been to many Mexican restaurants in my lifetime, but this place takes the cake! Every new dish I try is better than the last! The great food is accompanied by an always friendly staff. You wont find a better Mexican restaurant in the Montgomery area!

One if not the best Mexican Restaurant in Millbrook. The food and service are great. My favorite is the El Cerrito Special. Yummie.
