El Cerro Tacos 2 - Swansboro

The food was good, but unfortunately, the hostess and waitstaff were quite unprofessional and rude. I won't be returning.

El Cerro's Tacos 2 is my favorite restaurant in Swansboro. The food is incredible and truly authentic. My family lives out of town, and whenever we come to Swansboro, a visit to El Cerro's is essential. The staff is very friendly; our waiter even engaged with my daughter, treating her like an adult by speaking to her directly and handing her food personally. I highly recommend this place—10/10!

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant and will definitely return! The staff were outstanding, and the owner took the time to check in with everyone, even sharing some interesting history about the place. My visit was just what I needed. And let me tell you about the food—come hungry! The portions are generous, so if you're like me and prefer to take leftovers home, you won't have any trouble boxing up what's left. I tried my best to finish everything because it was absolutely delicious! Plus, the atmosphere was very clean and comfortable, with immaculate bathrooms as well. Give it a try—you’ll love it!

This hidden gem is the best Mexican restaurant I've discovered near Hubert! Located in a tranquil strip mall, the restaurant is clean, and the staff is friendly and accommodating. I forgot to snap a photo of our taco sampler, which included 12 tacos that my boyfriend and I shared after enjoying a delicious appetizer of fresh pork rinds. Those pork rinds were incredibly fresh! The margaritas were quite large, and the queso was simply divine!

Meal Type: Dinner Price per Person: $20–30 Food: ★★★★★ Service: ★★★★★ Atmosphere: ★★★★★ I highly recommend the carnitas, rice and beans, and the quesadilla with rice. The meal also includes delicious salsa, chips, and refried beans. Everything was exceptional, and I couldn't have asked for a better dining experience!
