El Cazador - Mexican restaurant in Altavista - 911 Main St, USA

The food was amazing taste more authentic just like advertised. The prices give you a great value for your money. The newly renovation added for a great dining experience. The older waiter could be a little more friendly but I was satisfied with how everything worked out. Will come back and try different dishes.

Just left 2/1/2024. Out to eat with family and ordered a steak. My steak was literally rancid. I took one bite and gagged. I had my husband taste it (yes I know, but I wasn’t gonna suffer alone) he too spit it out. We sent it back and the owner came out yelling and waving a receipt that he had just bought the meat and it was fresh. I don’t care if he killed the cow himself out back minutes before, my steak was spoiled!!! I told him to eat it cause I wasn’t. He then wanted to argue with my husband but I’m going to do my complaining to Yelp, Google, the BBB AND Virginias inspectional services. A table behind us told us as they were leaving their food tasted “off” too and that they fine here often and never had a problem before. The rest of my table (5 other people) had no problems with their meals and they did end up grudgingly taking off the rotten food.

First time eating there with family. Was overwhelmingly disappointed. My 10 year old who is obsessed with all things Mexican food. He Took one bite of the salsa and went blahhh. My wife said the salsa tasted like cocktail sauce. The rest of the dinner was only slighlty better. The service was the real issue. Took almost an hour to get all the food. Just to pay the bill took over 10 min of standing next to the payout counter. Almost no patrons were there, so its not because they were busy. The experience was second by everyone there. As they are all from altavista they said this was normal for this place.

The El Cerrito, has fine Hispanic cuisine. very nice heat on the shrimp diablo. The atmosphere is less desirable than once. as they have TVs in the corners and a radio on at the same time. The noise level is a bit high. The servers are great, courteous, clean and efficient.

Food was okay, steak fajitas were a little tough and rice was underdone. Service was quick and helpful.

Food was good. Friendly service. No negative concerns

The waiters Been on the phone al the time never come to ask if we need something, also i order carne asada and they give me a big chunk of fat

Great food, the service and the place were good
