El Mono - El Cerrito

Very friendly and welcoming restaurant! Frito Mixto is excellent. We enjoyed the (spicy! ceviche too. Interesting and unusual drinks. Definitely check out this warm and lively neighborhood restaurant.

We’re looking forward to the new space. The current space is not ideal but they’ve done a decent job making it work. I hope it’s not as loud. The most recent night we were there, a table of was so loud it was bordering on let’s get to go boxes. Love the food. Sweet potato chili fries perfectly cooked. Service and general staff super nice. New space opening in March.

The staff at the restaurant were extremely friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was clean and cozy. I have a 9-month-old baby, and the staff showed great patience as he explored and played with the items on the table. Their positive energy made for a comfortable experience. Additionally, the food was delicious. I highly recommend this place.

We look forward to the new room. The current space is not ideal, but they did a decent job to make it work. I hope it's not so loud. The youngest night we were there was a table of 6 so loud that it was on the border to go boxes. Love the food. Sweet potato chilli fries perfectly boiled. Service and general staff super nice. New room opening in March.

The atmosphere is cozy, but the location will be changing soon.
