El Cerrito’s Mexican restaurant in Hillsdale is undergoing complete renovations to their building, nearly doubling their floor space and adding a full bar with a 70-inch television.
Rocha repainted the interior, redid the floor, added more tables, and catered to larger groups by increasing seating room for 80 more people.
“I wanted to provide for sports teams and organizations so that if football players want to come here to have drinks with their teammates, they don’t have to be split into three or four tables,” El Cerrito’s owner Adam Rocha, said.
Rocha purchased five new televisions, including a 70 inch high-definition television mounted behind the bar to stream sports games, and to change the atmosphere to more closely resemble that of a bar.
Rocha also added a full bar, although it is not open yet, and may be hiring a bartender when the bar is opened. The restaurant is awaiting a shipment of bar stools.
Finally, Rocha is planning weekly drink specials pointed toward students, such as college night for students.
Rocha said that once all renovations are completed, he planned to have a grand opening weekend with drink specials to celebrate the occasion.
