This month’s featured restaurant isn’t new to the community. In fact, many of you have undoubtedly enjoyed authentic Mexican food from Los Cerros as far back as 1989 from one or both of their previous El Sobrante locations—the former Lucky shopping center on Valley View Road or their more recent location on Appian Way across from the Post Office. However, in August 2015, "Los Cerros Mexican Grill moved into a new, larger location in the Sunset Center on Valley View Road across from Adachi’s Florist. Whereas their previous locations were more conducive to take-out dining due to their smaller size, the new restaurant offers ample restaurant seating for approximately 60 guests in the dining room, and an additional 40 guests in an adjacent banquet room. The owners of Los Cerros, Eduardo and Gaby Guzman, spent nearly a year remodeling their new location, formerly occupied by The Lion’s Den and later, Tina’s Place (before it relocated to Pinole.) During the remodel, they remained open for business at their Appian Way location. The owners completed much of the remodeling themselves, and have transformed the location into an inviting, brightly colored and decorated dining location. The interior walls are painted various bright colors, highlighted by a beautiful handpainted mural of Veracruz on the right wall as you enter the restaurant. Recessed and track lighting, and natural light from the arched windows, light the interior, accented by brightly colored string lights. Various decorative accents such as ceramic and metal sun sculptures accent both the interior and exterior walls. The dining area includes booths as well as beautiful wooden tables with high-backed chairs. Clear, decorative beveled glass partitions separate the booths. The kitchen is visible behind the front counter, making the overall look and feel open and spacious. restaurant review 4241 VALLEy VIEW ROAD, In EL SObRAnTE | 510-222-9955 El Sobrante Neighborhood Favorite Expands: Los Cerros Mexican Grill RIbEyE PHO By Vickie Lewis CHILE RELLEnO AnD EnCHILADA MEAL
