  Wonderful place to stop and eat any day and time. If you are in the vicinity after 6:00pm it's open. Food oh my excellent. Treatment very good and if you eat pepper they have nice habanneros if you eat real hot pepper Like me, they have nice Jamaican habaneros. El Crusero Restaurant is really good excellent service.

  It's worth a visit for sure!
  
  Really the main reason anyone should go here is for the excellent thought and preparation that goes into the food quality. Portions are large, cheap and incredibly delicious. The iced tea is some real icy taste of goodness and when I was there with a group they gave us a pitcher for refills on our table. They also have friendly waitstaff, who are working hard to get you what you need.
  
  The service could be faster when here with a large group but this place is made for serving only a few people because their kitchen is small. Not recommended for groups but definitely okay if it's not too busy.
  
  SUMMARY:
  5/5 Food & drink quality
  5/5 Iced tea: separate because it's that good!
  4/5 Atmosphere: A/C, nice and comfortable
  3/5 Service: Slow; Good if you're just 1-4 people, but really not for groups
  4/5 Price: Good prices for the portions offered

  The latest addition to the restaurants in Blue Creek as of writing. This restaurant is new (less than a week old at this point), so I will attempt to judge write my review fairly with that in mind.
  
  The Good:
  Really the main reason anyone should go here is for the excellent thought and preparation that goes into the food quality. Portions are large, cheap and incredibly delicious. The iced tea is some real icy taste of goodness and when I was there with a group they gave us a pitcher for refills on our table. They also have friendly waitstaff, who are working hard to get you what you need.
  
  The Bad:
  I've been to this place a couple of times now, and both times seating capacity of ~50 people was a little over half full; The kitchen could not serve food fast enough and groups would get 2-3 meals then wait for 10 minutes. I waited 80 minutes for my food both times I went; so be prepared to wait Seating was crowded and the room was very hot. The wind is very calm in the location so this combination makes it just unbearably sweat-inducing. They are quite understaffed so often you don't get service at your table quite as quickly as you might prefer.
  
  The Ugly:
  Location location location. I can't stress this enough. While the majority of locals that go out try to stick to restaurants that are close and convenient, this place is about 2 miles out from the largest businesses in town and even further away from most of the rest of Blue Creek. That makes it quite a drive and you really spend a lot more time going here than any other competing place. It would be a convenient stop in for travelers, however, given the really long wait times, you'll need a good 2 hour lunch break. Also seasonally, there will be bugs outside, so you get to choose from a decent outdoor breeze and bugs, or quite crowded hot indoor seating.
  
  So keeping all this in mind, I will be updating this review upon seeing changes in atmosphere, food, and service when I can.
  
  SUMMARY:
  5/5 Food & drink quality
  5/5 Iced tea: separate because it's that good!
  1/5 Atmosphere: too hot and insects; no breeze
  1/5 Service: Very Slow; Take some games, or read a book, The few staff members that work here do try, but really not able to handle groups
  4/5 Price: Decently cost effective but not much cheaper than competition
