El Cerrito

Beloved Sharon Heights neighborhood institution since the 1980s with outdoor seating, American breakfasts, fish tacos with mango salsa, carnitas, and cheerful family service open seven days.

El Cerrito gives Sharon Heights a Mexican menu that works across breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Morning choices include chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, machaca, and breakfast burritos, alongside pancakes, omelettes, and French toast. We like the flexibility that creates when one person wants a familiar American breakfast and another is craving eggs with chorizo or chile verde. Later meals bring tacos, burritos, sopes, fajitas, and combination plates. Fish tacos add mango salsa and avocado, while carnitas, chile Colorado, and steak ranchero offer more substantial plates with rice, beans, and tortillas. The Sharon Park Drive location also includes seafood quesadillas and enchiladas among its choices. El Cerrito's appeal is that breadth: a neighborhood meal can stay as simple as a taco or expand into a full plate without losing the menu's Mexican focus.
