Great food, the best Mexican cuisine in Town. Ernesto and his family made us comfortable from the moment we walked in. He was very polite in conversation and earnest talking about his business. We had our food and were full within 25 mins of arriving. The salsa is one of the best in town. Everything was very fresh and tasty. 10/10 recommend you try Ernestos.

Been twice so far. Plenty of parking spaces, a little smaller seating area but still plenty of seating for small and large groups. With a large group service was still fast and correct,.The menu has alot to choice from to include tamales which some locally dont offer. They have a 32 oz margaritas that is top notch, one is enough for you margaritas lovers my wife can vouch for that. Great staff and clean facilities. I will return and will recommend this place to anyone in the search for good Mexican food or Margaritas.

The food was awful and the chips were from a bag. The water and soft drinks tasted weird. The cheese was watery and lukewarm. The restaurant was dingy. The best part were the margaritas made by the only waitress there

Nice resturant and good food. I had street tacos with lengua and they were excellent. First time I've tried Michelada and it was very good also! We had a small group at the time of opening but still struggled with the server and timeliness. They have very good salsa and the beans are excellent. I'd recommend for someone looking for a nice place to eat as it was overall pretty good.

First and last trip here unfortunately. Salsa was soured and inedible. As well as the queso that I ordered for my daughter's taco. Both tasted expired like some ingredients had went bad. The enchiladas were okay and only thing worth eating. Rice tasted like it was made the day before. Refried beans tasted like they were straight out of a can. Very disappointing. This was a to go order. Staff was very friendly, seemed like a nice place. But the food was terrible.

1st time customer. Came here with my daughter for a quick lunch. The service was great! Our server was great, he was very friendly and prompt. Salsa n chips were good, salsa is, as usually is, a lil spicy, but still so good. Sweet tea was spot on! The food was delicious and hot. The atmosphere was relaxed. Menu is clear and easy to read. There are vegetarian options as well, which is clearly marked on the menu. Very nice dining experience. Highly recommend the Dijon chicken. Plenty leftovers as well. Great place.

We went to Ernesto's at 8:30pm Friday night and the restaurant was empty, we thought we'd go ahead and try it since we've never been here before. Well needless to say I wish we would've went to Papa Grande's instead. As soon as we walked in the waiter pointed to a booth, we asked politely for a table and he pointed to a table and his friendly smile went away, he stood in front of us as soon as we sat down and waited for us to order our drinks and then put in order for our margaritas and rushed right back and stood over us and repeatedly asked us if we were ready to order yet just rushing us. Now they don't close until 10pm. So when our food was brought out to us it was like everyone from the kitchen kept coming out and looking at us. Why?? We don't know unless they were ready to close at 8:30 instead of 10. And as we were our food, it took every thing I had to keep it down. I've never had sweet enchiladas with Thai sauce, my boyfriend's fajita meal which had everything in. It was so hard he could not chew it. It only had four pieces of shrimp in it a bunch of vegetables and I mean a bunch. What little bit of meat there was? He couldn't chew it. The margaritas tasted like dirty soap water. We threw those away cuz we could not drink them and when my boyfriend asked for some more tortillas because I had to eat some of his vegetables cuz my enchiladas were so gross and the waiter got mad because he asked for more and before going to get the tortillas he ran straight to the register and added them on the bill real quick first and then everybody just kept coming out and looking at us and looking at us and saying stuff and seeing if we were done eating and just like rushing us out of there which the food. I am highly dissatisfied with the drinks. The margaritas highly dissatisfied. I wanted to give zero Stars. I will never go back to this place ever again. They made me feel so uncomfortable and for $45 it is not worth it to me and then we decided not to tip him because he never came to our table. Not one time after sitting there over top of us waiting for us to order so we didn't tip him because he never once came to our table to check on us to see if the food was okay to see if we were okay or nothing. They just waited around for us to hurry up and eat and pay. So we decided not to tip the guy and we got the look s could kill. We would have been dead and we always tip our waders and waitresses because of their hard work but not this time. I do not suggest this place for anyone to ever go to just bad experience. I don't know they were having something going on in their life. I do not know but they did not have to take it out on us and plus there was gnats flying around our food gnats that is really gross. We kept shooing them away and shoeing them away.... Zero stars for this place zero

Our go to place is mi ranchito but we decided to give something different a try & regreted it after. The food was okay but I noticed the online menu prices were different than what we paid so either we were cheated out of money or they haven't updated their prices, we were charged a dollar to a 1.25 extra on everything we ordered & although they were still making the food when we got there (they told us 10 mins) we waited over 20 mins for the food to be done by time we got home with the food which was only 5 mins away the food was very cold so it made me question if it was actually fresh. Definitely will be sticking to our favorite from now on!

The chips had an old fryer oil taste. The spinach did not taste fresh.
