El Cerro Grande

Great food paired with excellent service!

When a Wilmington local says “Want to get Mexican?”, what they probably mean is “Want to go to El Cerro?”.

This quintessential Mexican restaurant has been a staple in the community since 1991, and is proud to be the first authentic Mexican restaurant in town.

With three locations, classic specials like Taco Tuesdays, friendly smiles and authentic roots, the El Cerro Grande experience never disappoints.

Every location strives to provide consistent, quality food, service based on their founding principles and a great ambience for sharing with family and friends. So come on in and keep the tradition going with their aperitivos (appetizers), nachos, sopas y ensaladas (soups & salads), fajitas, tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas, burritos, especialidades de la casa (house specialties), vegetarian dishes and much more. They have been serving every day—for more than two decades—delicious dishes for everyone!

The Ibarra family adopted the motto “Mi casa es tu casa” over 25 years ago, and they are going strong today because they mean it.
