    Tacos Al carbon
    J R.

    First time at Ernesto's. I ordered a sangria margarita and it was fabulous! Chips and hot sauce were great, cheese dip was good. No complaints from us on the food. I'd definitely recommend. The restaurant was decorated nicely and seemed clean.

    Three mamasita margarita- it's a flight of mini mango, strawberry and peach frozen margaritas!

    Enjoyed a wonderful meal on the patio! I started with a drink from the bar menu - the Three mamasita margarita. I confirmed that it was a frozen margarita, cuz I dont care for "on the rocks!" I guess I imagined a swirl of the three flavors in one big glass. Well, it comes out like a flight of margaritas in these cute little glasses. You get one each of strawberry, peach and mango. It was yummy! My gkids wanted to try some, but I said no, this is gma's adult slurpee! For my entree I chose the David's Brisket Tacos. I love brisket tacos on a corn tortilla. It was so delicious! There were 3 on the plate, I could barely finish one with all those mini margs and chips! The weather was perfect to sit outside. Our server took great care of us. Sometimes you can get forgotten about when seated on the patio, but this was not the case. Had a great dining experience and I'll be back!

    We moved to prosper a little over a year ago and had no idea this place existed! It's very hidden but close to Preston and first. So thankful we stumbled in here after trying Anamias (too long of a wait). Our server was fantastic, friendly and helped us make great choices for dinner. I had the platillo Pacifico and it was delicious and SO much food. My husband had the carnitas burrito and enjoyed his as well. The chips are thin and crispy- just like we like and our daughter gave her approval on the salsa. That's saying a lot coming from this picky 9 year old! Tried the premium margarita and the swirl and have to say the swirl was my favorite. Loved the interior decor. We will definitely be back!!

    Queso to go was only filled 2/3 of the way. What a rip off.

    Poor quality control. I ordered queso with beef and the container was only filled 2/3 of the way! The shrimp tacos had no shrimp. This place is a rip off, I won't be going back. Man taking orders over the phone was rude and aloof.

    If I could give this place 0 stars I would. For starters the waitress had no clue what she was doing. She messed up our orders at least one time each person (party of 7). We were gracious and tried to bare with her until three meals came out wrong. At that point we are already frustrated. Then we were each given our checks and four were incorrect. After 6 out of 7 were given back we proceeded to wait another 40 minutes for the last card. Absolutely awful food and horrible service. Take a look at my chicken down below.

    Really delicious food! That's the important part …read more.. I was craving Mexican food and hubby NEVER turns down the chance for Mexican food, so when I suggested Mi Chante he was all in. A new location (Providence Village) just recently opened right down the street from our house and I've been excited to try it. We were near the original location (Prosper) on this occasion so that's the location we ended up trying first. Boy oh boy I really hope the Providence Village location is as great as the Prosper location. All staff we interacted with were super nice. The manager (?) even stopped by our table to check that everything was going well. This used to be a common thing restaurants did many years ago and was a pleasant change of pace/return to good customer service practices. There was not a single thing we ordered that we did not enjoy. Everything was seasoned perfectly and prepared with care. We can't wait to return for more!!

    Mi Chante in Prosper has a nice mid-scale feel, though it's not overly decorated like many Mexican…read morerestaurants--aside from the bar area, which has a bit more character. One downside is there's no real waiting area, and the host system uses a paper list. We ended up being forgotten briefly and watched a couple of parties who arrived after us get seated first. The margaritas were very good and definitely a highlight. Chips were solid, but the salsa tasted pretty generic and didn't have that fresh, homemade flavor. For the food, everything was good but not great. The style leans toward Americanized Mexican cuisine and could use a bit more spice and depth of flavor. The mole enchiladas were decent but mild, and the arrachera was well prepared and cooked properly but also a little lacking in seasoning. The rice and beans were quite good, and the dishes were nicely plated. Service overall was fine once seated, and prices felt reasonable for a mid-scale restaurant in the area. Overall, a good spot for a casual Mexican meal, especially if you enjoy a good margarita.

The photos make it look very lively and fun so imagine our surprise at happy hour on a Friday walking into an entirely empty restaurant! Two couples inside and a couple guys drinking on the patio. We still decided to stay because we were hungry and the place itself is super duper nice and cute! We opted to sit at the bar where we were kindly greeted and two TVs playing football with no volume (which I love)! The barstools were very comfortable as well. Ordered two of the BEST margaritas I've ever had with the gran marnier! I now want all my margs made this way. No need for a second! For food, the enchilada verde and the taco lunch plates were pretty dang good. No complaints there and the servings were reasonable and not too much from the lunch menu. No leftovers. Really enjoyed the verde. Chips and salsa were something to write home about! Amazingly toasted and crunchy, I should have asked for a bag to go with just those chips! Very good! All in all, the staff was too kind and it happened to be my friend's birthday so I "snuck away to the restroom" and told our waiter and he surprised us with a perfect tres leches slice that was absolutely delicious! For lunch and margs I spent $65 and he treated us with that dessert and I felt like that was so sweet! Thank you team at Lalo! You guys were great and I now actually like that the restaurant was slower at the time but I do hope they pick up because it was a great place for us! Enjoyed very much and if we are ever back in the area we will stop through.
