Beautiful testimony of the owners of the restaurant on their website. God bless!!
MaryLou B.

A wonderful night was had by all!! I liked the staff, the ambiance, and the food! I ordered carne asada.... beautifully marinated steak that was so tender that I could pull it apart with my hands. Warm fluffy tortillas. Smooth and savory refried beans. Tasty, creamy, refreshing guacamole. And I had a cheese enchilada so that I didn't miss out on my favorites! Delicious chili con carne sauce was smuthered onto the enchiladas! I had a wonderful time listening to my friends and him I enjoyed the warmth of the crispy tortilla chips and spicy salsa. Just enough heat to make you want more. My husband had steak fajitas which was as delicious as mine! I wanted to save room for dessert, because they have some of my favorites! Fried ice cream is my go to.... but I was so full and so satisfied with my meal that I could not spare an inch!!! Not to mention that I drank 3 glasses of their refreshing ICED TEA, because it was perfect with our savory entrees! Our waitress was so friendly, professional, and lively!!! Clean restrooms too.... again I had 3 glasses of tea and had a 20 minute drive home!!! Bless my heart!!! But seriously, God bless the Martinez family and staff!!

Second time here and the food was even better than the first time! We had a huge party (maybe 15 of us with 3 kids) and one server who took all our orders and didn't make a mistake. She was kind, joyous and very attentive to our needs despite us being a roudy group. This time around I ordered the carne asada. Marinated grilled flank steak which came with 4 flour tortillas, beans, rice, guac and pico. The steak was extremely flavorful and was definitely grilled. It was delicious and hot! I really appreciate the hot and fresh tortillas. You have to ask for butter if you'd like but they are perfectly fine without it. Anyways service and food were great. Kudos to the team here!

Chimichanga Dinner
Chris C.

I visited this Mexican restaurant with a friend on Friday. I had heard great things about this restaurant, but had never visited in the almost 2 years I've lived in Texas and the Mesquite area. We entered the building and I was surprised how big it was. I was expecting something smaller, but anyways, we were promptly seated. Our server, Elsa, brought us warm chips and salsa and asked what we'd like to drink. My friend and I finally decided what we wanted to eat and placed our order. When the food arrived, it was hot and was exactly what I'd been craving! I ordered the chimichanga with beef fajita meat and it was fresh, tender and seasoned perfectly. My friend ordered enchiladas with extra tortillas and also loved his meal. The server was excellent, attentive and very kind. The restaurant was clean and a pleasant dining environment. And of course, the food was outstanding! We will be back soon!

I wish this time I had gotten two chicken because they were so good! The beef was good too, but they are more My Husband's flavor style than mine. Nothing at all wrong with them just personal preference. The meats were good quality, and the beans and rice were good too. Mozzarella sticks were nice and crispy battered on the outside with soft gooey cheese inside just like you want from good mozzarella sticks My friend ordered the nachos and let me tell you that plate was stacked. Huge plate of nachos! The place was clean, service was friendly and overall we were just really impressed with everything. Even end of the night food was still served fast, fresh and delicious. Definitely recommend stopping here. Their menu has a gigantic variety so I can almost guarantee you'll find something for everyone!

As soon as we walked in the door we were greeted, seated and brought chips and salsa which I devoured. For starters, we had the guacamole salad and queso. We had to stop eating the queso and guacamole to save room for the main course because it was that good. My wife ordered the ground beef and shredded chicken enchiladas with all the fixings. They were very good with the red sauce and Spanish rice. The beef had a very good seasoning and the chicken had a taste like it had been marinated for a few hours. I had the beef fajitas. The beef was tender, succulent and seasoned well. The only thing that I didn't like was that the fajitas had a sweet taste to it. I believe the sweet taste was from sweet bell peppers or sweet onions, nevertheless, it was too sweet for my taste buds. We enjoyed ourselves, enjoyed the margaritas and the starters, but next time, I'll try some shrimp nachos. I give Ernesto's Mexican Restaurant three out of five drinks. Cheers!

Great ambiance. Seated on time with a reservation. Service was good although often hard to…read moreunderstand our waiter who mumbled a little bit. Our cocktails were all good - and the appetizers were very good. We had the crispy pork belly and the tostaditas with barbacoa. The crispy pork belly was especially delicious and I would order as my own dinner in the future. It comes with onions and sauces and corn tortillas and it's to die for - so crispy and flavorful. We ordered the Bistec enchiladas and they were good but not as good as the appetizers. They give you a variety of sauces when you're seated that you keep throughout the meal - from mild to spicy but I would say the "spicy" is on the mild side. Still good and flavorful but not unapproachable for most ppl. We had the Campechana dessert and it was a little strange. It was basically a vanilla Icecream cake with a crispy waffle cone like layering that was really hard to break until it sat a while. It was oddly addicting but also not that good? I can't explain it. We went to the cigar lounge area after dinner and had Mexican espresso martinis and watched football before heading home. There was little smoke smell but very minimal until it got later. Around 8:30 (on a Saturday night) ppl started smoking cigars and they opened the side windows and being 90degrees right now - it became less enjoyable so we decided to end the night. In the fall that room would probably be quite lovely with the windows open. They have comfortable seating and fire pits. Really more of a 4.5 out of 5. Loved the decor near the restrooms and patio too.
