About El Mono (El Cerrito)

Info

Hola!

Welcome to EL MONO!

We are proud to have brought to your neighborhood, some of the finest flavors of the mystical land of Peru!

As a small family owned and operated restaurant, we will go the extra mile to bring to you the healthiest ingredients coupled with a memorable experience.

Cheers To Health!

What does El Mono mean? Thought you'd never ask! El Mono is Spanish for "The Monkey." In the Nazca desert in southern Peru there are many mystical geoglyphs drawn by the Nazca people known as the Nazca Lines. These magnificent figures are speculated to have been made sometime between 400 and 650 AD and are so big, that they can only be fully viewed and appreciated from an aerial perspective! One of the most famous and mystical geoglyphs of the Nazca Lines is "The Monkey." El Mono is both fascinating and mystifying, much like the flavors and ingredients of Peru!
