Cheese enchilada

Ernesto's was a very interesting experience because it was a toss-up of good and bad things, probably averaging out to a 3.5 star-review or so. My order was the quesadilla dinner, which I got specifically because of a picture on Yelp. I was intrigued because it looked like it was fried, which it was. I really liked it for the first couple bites, but it was so fried (like not lightly, it was not even recognizably a tortilla at this point if it started that way) that by the end of the meal I was feelin' pretty gross. The shredded beef inside was tasty, though. Other than my entree, here's the breakdown: The pros: - The best thing here was by far the cheese enchilada. They use a type of brown sauce that is very hard to find. I know this will likely mean nothing to 99% of people reading, but just in case...if anyone from Indiana remembers Velia's in Winchester, this is the closest we have had to their cheese enchilada since it closed. - The beans were good! - Service (kinda...see cons). We noticed a sign up on the wall that they serve pupusas (a Salvadoran dish that SLAPS) on certain nights and were disappointed that we hadn't hit it on one of those nights. That got us into a chat with the waitress at the register, who told us the owner is from El Salvador. The cons: - Bridging off the last pro--why not serve Salvadoran food!! Would have loved to see some on the menu, probably would have been better than the Mexican food. - Service was pretty slow for a Mexican place. They did seem a little understaffed--there was often no one manning the cash register, so people would be standing there awkwardly waiting for someone to show up to check them out. - Chips and salsa weren't the greatest. Of course, ravenous pre-meal me still chowed down on them, but the chips were weirdly thick and unnecessarily salty, and the salsa wasn't terribly flavorful and its tomatoes and onions were cut into inconveniently too-large pieces. - The rice was just there. It was pretty dry. Overall, not a bad experience, just oddly full of highs and lows.

This is the perfect example of ordinary Mexican food. You'll enjoy it, but nothing special. I did like the chips though.

Do they serve alcohol?

I believe so! Not a full bar but some mixed drinks and most beers.

While visiting the St. George area, we stopped at Cafe Sabor for lunch and had a wonderful…read moreexperience. Our waitress, Elydia, was very attentive and promptly refilled our drinks and chips whenever she noticed they were running low. The complimentary chips and salsa were excellent. The chips tasted freshly made, and we were served two salsa (mild and hot) both packed with flavor. The hot salsa was not as spicy as I anticipated but well seasoned and tasty. I ordered the combo plate with two hard-shell shredded beef tacos, served with rice and refried beans. Everything was flavorful and satisfying. My husband chose the veggie fajitas, which featured a nice medley of mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, and zucchini. He requested black beans with no cheese or sour cream, and the rice and beans plate included a dollop of guacamole. His meal also came with handmade flour tortillas that were soft, fresh, and absolutely delicious. Despite the restaurant being busy, we were seated immediately, and our meals arrived within just a few minutes. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and if we're ever back in the area, we would definitely return.
