El Cerro Mexican Bar and Grill

El Cerro Mexican Bar and Grill is a colorful and flavorful Mexican restaurant that’s found in the heart of Havelock along Main Street / Highway 70. A local favorite for budget-friendly and traditional Mexican fare, the wide selection of food and drinks will appeal to both lunch and dinner patrons, as well as visitors and Havelock residents alike.

The interior is as colorful as the outside, with a range of booths and tables as well as a bar for Happy Hour patrons. The menu features all the Mexican classics, like tacos, burritos, tamales, chalupas and enchiladas, as well as a nicely vast selection of stand-outs that elevates the classic Latin fare. Local favorites include the Carne Asada burrito, the El Cerro “cheese steak” and the Camarones Chipotle, which boasts shrimp, grilled onions and chipotle salsa with Pico de Gallo and avocado. Lunch specials are available regularly, and thirsty patrons will want to wash down a satisfying meal with an ice cold margarita or other tropical drink, which is available in individual or pitcher sizes. (Drink specials may also be available on certain evenings.)

A favorite with the local crowd, El Cerro Mexican Bar and Grill is a great spot for a lunch or dinner with Latin fare that combines the traditional classics with tasty and unique cuisine.
