What has happened to Ernestos? Service was good but food was well below average. Extremely bland. Very disappointed. Completely empty at 8pm on a Saturday. The good ole days are long gone. Plenty of better options are available. Sorry Ernestos. read more

we go usually once a week if not more. I'm very disappointed in Ernesto. the staff is wonderful but the gouging of prices is ridiculous. we used to pay $9.00 for a martini and now it's $13. that's a big difference. the charge extra for cheese for fajitas nickel and dime you like crazy. I took my husband for his birthday because they usually do something nice dessert wise but not this time. absolutely nothing. that is like a slap in the fac to long time cu!! if it wasn't for the staff I'd never comeback. I hate greedy people!!! read more

Super fast service on a Friday night!! The food was 100% worth it and I throughly enjoyed the steak fajitas.

We enjoyed our dining experience! Mikey was very helpful and never let our glasses go empty. The vegetarian taco salad did not disappoint. The enchilada and kid's burrito are flavorful. Restroom nice and clean as well as the overall restaurant. read more

Hours say open until 9, we arrive just after 8pm. Open sign is lit up, but door is locked. Bad business practices here. I wonder what else they skimp on. read more

We love this restaurant! Their food is incredible!!! I highly recommend the smoked salsa they have for the chips. In addition, the servers are attentive and kind. If you're looking for great underrated Latin cuisine this is the place. read more

This place has the best tacos and great margaritas! It's a cute hole in the wall! I love coming here with my husband for date night!

Food was very good and the service was great. The inside was nothing special. We will definitely go back.

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. read more

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! read more

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!! read more

Ernesto's Mexican Restaurant - Platillo Pacifico - Mexican Near Me - Prosper, Texas

Absolutely a disgrace to call this place "fine Mexican food" nothing here is good. All microwaved premade food that's probably been sitting for hours, no idea how this place has this many good reviews. Guess all these people have never had actual Mexican food. To top it all off they have the unmitigated gall to charge high prices as if this was a fancy place with bomb food. All for some mediocre "Mexican" food. Don't waste your time. Drive up the street to Salsa Tex Mex for some decent Mexican food or Gloria's down the street for a better variety of Latin food. read more

My wife is Mexican and we went here for Cinco De Mayo. Hands down the worst meal (not just Tex Mex) that I have ever had. We started with the wait staff not knowing the names of the dishes we ordered. When the food was brought to the table, my wife was given a dish that she did not order. So it was sent back for the correct dish. When the wait staff served the new order we were told that I had her order and the new dish was mine. As we started eating the food texture and taste were similar supermarket microwaved chicken breast patty with a poorly flavored sauce over it. Although the wait staff apologized, the manager never came out to apologize for the mix up. Horrible experience! read more

Service, just awful! The waitress, not friendly!!! Ordered guacamole for BEFORE dinner but it came with our dinners, we told her to take it back. We moved here from California, I've been here one other time and didn't want to come back-food not good. I've had the best in California so nothing compares for me!!!!! I order safe, ground beef tacos so you can't really mess those up!!!!! I won't eat the rice and beans. Not good! Chicken to dry, no taste! Party of 5 and she adds gratuity to our bill, I guess because she knew she sucked?!!!!!! I miss good Mexican food!!!!!!!! read more

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. read more

Been coming here off and on for the past 4 years. Recently had another great dinner there, served both times by the amazing Amanda, who went out of her way to take care of us without fuss or bother. Meal plates are awesome as are the fajitas. Frozen margaritas are excellent without being doused with Triple Sec. Only drawback is the tap beer which has no head. Either poor kegging or too much soap residue left inside the glass. Remedy....drink bottled beer. Will definitely return with the family on our next visit to Dallas. read more

This was my first time here. We had a dinner reservation for 15 last night and our waitress was fantastic and the food was amazing! I am very picky about my Mexican restaurants and the food and this place was 5 star! Thank you for the great food and excellent service. read more

This restaurant is always on point. If you are looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant this is the place to go. I absolutely love their salsa which sets the stage for any Mexican restaurant. Everything is always fresh and service is great. My plan is to try everything on the menu so I will be returning. read more

Hosted 35 folks for dinner at Ernesto's. Staff was friendly and on point. Food was quick and so yummy. Great local favorite!!! Great service and ambiance with a large group. Support local owned and operated!! read more

I honestly don't understand the reviews on this place. It is absolutely the worst Mexican food I have ever had. Save yourself some time and go somewhere else. Or just get a frozen meal at the grocery store and pop it in the microwave, as that will be higher quality than Ernesto's. We got 3 different margaritas and none of them are remotely edible. We did carry out and when I opened the bag with the drinks in it, I was smacked in the face with an extremely strong rubbing alcohol smell. The good news is that if you have any leftover margaritas after you're unable to drink them, you can always use it to clean your floors or sterilize an open wound. 0/10, never again. read more

The food has really gone down hill, but even more frightening is they no longer require staff to wear masks, and have crammed tables so close together that you can feel the breath of the table next to you. We won't be coming here any more. read more

Meh...we thought we'd give this place another shot. And I wish we would have just kept on driving past. We sat at a table for a good 5 minutes before I flagged someone down & asked for a waiter. When our waitress came up, she did not greet us. She asked if we'd been sitting there. I thought that was an odd question because we'd walked right past her to sit & she watched us sit down 5 minutes prior. She didn't ask if we wanted something to drink. I had to ask her to get us something; two waters, sangria & a Miller lite. She came back with the Sangria, no waters & no beer. She said they were out of Miller Lite but had everything else. My husband ordered a Pacifico. She returns with no beer & no waters. Apparently they were out of that too. The manager then came up & told us the supplier they use doesn't bring what they order. He was sorry they didn't have what we requested but they had Corona's. While all this was happening we still didn't have our waters nor did we have chips & salsa. We ended up flagging down the another server who was dropping off chips & salsa to tables & they gave us some. Chips were ok but the salsa left something to be desired. I like salsa with a bit of chunkiness and/or flavor to it. Instead I got tomato soup with little flavor. The waitress still wasn't engaged but I decided to continue with the dinner because maybe she was having a bad day. We order queso to snack on prior to dinner. Then I order a 1/2 order of fajita beef nachos & my husband got a cheese enchilada with steak & a crispy taco. Queso - it may have had two bits of jalapeños in it & had such a smoke flavor to it that it hit the back of my nasal cavity & was not appetizing. Dinner - the nachos did not have a pleasant flavor to them & I could only eat one before I was done. The cheese enchilada with fajita beef & taco was ok. I wish I could say there was something redeeming. Like the waitress was so awesome I could overlook the food being sub-par. Or the food was amazing so I could overlook the bad service. Neither was the case. So this restaurant is off our list of places to go to. read more

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. read more

We love this chain. We found the Kruegerville location first. It's the closest thing we have found to San Antonio Tex-Mex. the margaritas are great. When we get chips we request the warm salsa. The brisket enchiladas are our favorite menu item. I also like the brisket tacos. read more

Terrible service, Terrible Food, Do Not Go! Been living in prosper for 6 years, coming here off and on.... Always disappointed Left today before even getting food... waiting 15 mins with no one stopping by after I finished my beer & chips. So when they finally came, got the check & left. read more

Everything was good Service was excellent and we had 14 people. Orders were right drinks were right.

Good food, speedy service. Get the queso fundido! So good, it won't disappoint. Nachos and burritos are so good too!

Highly disenchanted with this place. But, given that I've moved out this way from Southern California, what can I expect? I had hopes that this would at least be SEMI decent, but once again, the TEX of the Mex just left me with heartburn and feeling nauseated. Carne Asada Y Enchilada.... Disgusting. The margarita and the chips were the highlight. Oh, and the quesadilla. Note: I said chips, not chips AND salsa. All the salsas tasted like they had sugar in them with bo heat whatsoever. Also, to management, please make your waitress/waiters aware that for future reference, please make sure they give the entire party their food. Not just half of the party, and leave the rest on the tray on another table while they go and pick up empty plates from a table across, and then come back without cleaning their hands to serve the rest of the party their food! Entirely disrespectful! read more

I love the garlic shrimp situation delicious and the yellow queso and chips and the margaritas!'

First time here, with my family, and it was very disappointing. 1. The staff seemed put out that we showed up and our server was clearly unhappy to be taking care of us. 2. We stared at the same dirty tables the entire time we were in the restaurant and watched the "manager" continue to sit people around dirty tables. 3. The food was sub-par. Salsa was watery and they only brought us chip crumbs to eat the salsa with. Save yourself the time, money, and disappointment of eating here and go anywhere else, it will most likely be way better. read more

We go to the Prosper Ernesto's at least once every other week and love it. I love the dinner combo with the beef & chicken enchiladas with the queso sauce or I also really like the chicken chimichanga. My husband loves the chicken fajitas and also the chicken chimichanga. The portions are great especially the chicken in the fajitas. They definitely don't skimp on their portions and the chicken is always perfectly cooked and very tender and juicy. Their chips & salsa are wonderful too. Just the right amount of spiciness and the chips are always nice & crunchy. We tend to get there by 5:45 so we don't have to wait, but by the time we leave the place is usually packed. Great atmosphere for a small mom & pop type of place. The service has always been great too. This is definitely our #1 go to Mexican place. read more

Won't be going to this location again. The server was rude and obnoxious. Asked us for our order then started a conversation mid order with a regular. Took 20 minutes to get the margaritas we ordered and the server couldn't be bothered with clearing plates and dishes off when we finished with the appetizer. Messed up my order after confirming twice with me which I thought was odd. If you get the overweight guy with salt and pepper hair and a goatee RUN! He needs to find another industry to work in because he sucks as a server. read more

They now close at 8:30??? Confused. On a Wednesday. I would never turn away business especially in these times. Guess they have it good. Disappointing. read more

Have eaten here prior and not sure what happened?! With that said, this was by far the worst experience that I've had & not sure if I'll be back. Called to place a To Go Order at 8:20 PM tonight after I finished working a 12 HR shift. Was transferred to 4 different people for some odd reason? After that some guy that said he was a Manager, got on the phone to take my Order and was condescending & arrogant to say the least. Placed my Order, arrived earlier than said ready time, picked up my food & all of my food is cold, not fresh, and my steak carne asada wasn't cooked as I requested for it to be when asked. It's as tough as nails, no flavor whatsoever. Very disappointed that this is how this Establishment is serving the fellow citizens of Prosper. read more

We've been going to Ernesto's for about a year now. It is closest to our house and we have never had a bad meal their. They have lots of good options for children, and wonderful swirl margaritas for the adults. This is our go to Mexican place in Prosper. read more

The food was just okay. It seemed a bit pricy for the quality...our waiter was not friendly and seemed irritated we were there. When we asked for corn tortillas he mumbled as he was walking away that they would take some time. I won't be back. Plus it was dead at 1:00 on a Wednesday's. Should've known read more

I like the food here pretty well. The service seems fine too. It gets a little loud at lunch but it was a full restaurant. I will definitely come here again. read more
