El Cerrito sits on Base Line Road in Alta Loma, and it is a grill and bar rather than a taqueria — table service, a full bar, and a menu that runs from breakfast through dinner.

Rancho Cucamonga's Mexican bench is the deepest category in the city, and most of it is counter service. A sit-down room with a bar attached is a different job: it takes the table that wants margaritas and a two-hour lunch.

Being on Base Line rather than Foothill keeps it a neighbourhood restaurant, which on a weekend is an advantage.
