I was told that this was a great place for Mexican food. WRONG !!!!! I went there and ordered the #1 tacos and the were horrible. Very little meat, extremely greasy and the worst salsas I have ever gotten in a Mexican restaurant (extremely watery). If you want better Mexican food go to Casa de Elena or Cancun on Camp Bowie. These two are not the best but decent. read more

Had the #1 - Al pastor and the #2. I gotta say my plate was cleaned after I was done eating, no food left to be seen on it. The al pastor was fresh and cooked to perfection, the beans and rice were on-point when they're usually an afterthought at most places. The restaurant was clean, the kitchen was clean, the service was great. Highly recommend this to anyone that wants to eat some delicious food at a very competitive price. read more

Always delicious and truly authentic! Friendly service! Have never been disappointed here, I love the burritos with verde salsa

Three words, carne asada burrito. If you like authentic Mexican, stop in here. The burrito is clearly my favorite. It comes with rich n' creamy refried beans, gooey cheese and zesty spiced asada. Everything a hardy burrito needs to satisfy a hungry stomach's needs! read more

We tried them out for breakfast this morning. The food was really good, the staff is friendly, and the the prices are good. We'll be back.

Better authentic Mexican places in Fort Worth but if you are in a hurry this might be the place for you! They have a drive thru option and the service is pretty fast. read more

Authentic cuisine. The tacos were excellent and the Thursday Special (enchiladas) were extremely filling. Lastly, make sure to try the Horchata. It's perfect for these hot Texas days. read more

This is one of those mom 'n' pop shops that you kind of don't want to tell anybody about because you don't want it to get busy and pricey. Here's the deal, gringas/gringos, this place is legit! There is no better place in Fort Worth to get some authentic Mexican food than Ernesto's. Their Horchata is amazing. Their tacos are perfectly cooked. Their staff is welcoming and accommodating even if you walk in looking bewildered an speculative. I have a great co-worker who let me in on the Ernesto's secret and she wasn't lying. You need Mexican food? Yes, you need Mexican food. They've got you covered. read more

When I drove up to the window, I was greeted with a warm smile! As it was my first time, he patiently let me review the menu, which I appreciated! I ordered the #1 taco plate, spicy, and it was soooooo delicious. If you want yummy tacos, try Ernesto's! read more

When I'm craving authentic Mexican food this is one of my spots. They try to cater to tex mex fans a little but it's mostly authentic. The flautas are the best I've ever had at a restaurant. Not to mention their molé. I just wish their enchiladas had more flavor. They have really good homemade aguas frescas. Cash only but I don't mind cause the food is good here. I only order through drive thru but you can always order ahead. The family is super nice. I've never had a bad experience here. read more

Tacos Ernesto - Special: Enchiladas estilo Guanajuato with carrots and potatoes. - Mexican Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

I was in the area and had been reading the reviews for Tacos Ernesto and decided to stop in. I wasn't disappointed. Since it was Friday I ordered the special, a fish and shrimp Mexican stew. The bowl, when it was delivered to my table, was HUGE. I wasn't able to finish it. It was accompanied by tortillas and rice. The fish stew was very delicious and seasoned perfectly. You need to be careful since some of the chunks of fish had large bones in them. I can't wait to return and try some of the different taco fillings. One important thing to know is this is a CASH ONLY restaurant. read more

Okay so let's start from the top and work our way down.... Welcome: When I entered the establishment, the one waitress that was available was friendly and happy to have us. The place is quaint with about 7 or 8 tables so I guess there wouldn't be a need for more than one server. The decor is modest and the menus are already on the table under a clear plastic covering. Starters aka chips y salsa: The salsa was delicious, I mean really good with a nice kick to it that I definitely would enjoy more of at any point in time. The chips I didn't enjoy as much because they were cold and weren't thin and crispy. I felt these chips were purchased at Sam's or Costco. I also ordered a side of Queso, which I pretty sure came out of a can so please feel free to skip that. Meals: My friend went for Pollo Enchiladas and also two tacos with Asada and Pollo. He really enjoyed the Enchilada plate with rice and beans. He stated that everything had a good flavor to it. I didn't steal any off his plate so I can only go by his recommendation to try it if we ever return. He wasn't too thrilled with the tacos though, particularly the Asada. I had four tacos: Buche (belly), Asada, Pollo, y Carnitas. I wasn't impressed with the tacos myself. I didn't like that my verde was put on the taco before they bought them out. I prefer to pour on my own sauce if I feel like my taco needs help so in this case I really make a good call on the actual meat flavor itself because it was drowned out by the sauce. Overall I would probably return and try the tacos and tell them to put he sauce on the side so I can make a sound decision on rather to keep this place in regular rotation. read more

So I drove 10 minutes to come here and on Apple Maps it does say that they do except credit cards when I got to the door to my surprise I was shocked to see that they do not except credit cards and they have two big signs that they cash only I did not go inside to ask because the science are so bold that anyone should be able to read them so just to let you know they do not accept cash which is very very outdated in my opinion this is 2022 everywhere should except credit cards that is so stupid I think no one should come here because of that read more

CASH ONLY RESTAURANT! First visit here and I loved it. The restaurant is tiny and clean. I'm a big fan of spicy food. Not food that's hot just for the sake of being hot. But food that has a sinister little kick, or does lingering smoky-hot dances on my tongue or brings a bright splash of heat followed by other flavors. The sauces I had here did that. The salsa is on point with cilantro and a tangy front followed by lingering heat. The chicken in chipotle chili and green sauce was wonderful and juicy with that smoky heat that didn't mask the sweet chicken, cilantro and onions. (Server said if I'd ordered red sauce it may have been too spicy to finish!) And the guac, though a bit small in portion, was delicious and chunky. Servers were great. Give this place a try. read more

Muy rico! This place was excellent. We had two asada tacos and one pork in red sauce. All very good. I loved their salsa. The beans were so good that I had to add on a flour tortilla to eat it with. When I visit the area again I will definitely come here. Very affordable too! read more

Tacos Ernesto - This is how REAL Mexican food is done folks! The Lengua Tacos alone were worth the trip! - Mexican Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Best migas in Fort Worth, IMO. And the breakfast burritos are excellent as well. Bring CASH! They don't accept credit cards.

Great tacos, breakfast burrito's are to die for, and the prices are very reasonable. I love this place!

Simple good tacos. Cash only. Good rice and beans too. The dining room is really crowded. Plants in the way and a suboptimal table layout. read more

The food was good but it was a Very small place and too pricey they charge for literally everything. They charge for the chips and salsa its not free the first time they charge salsa for tacos when other places we always get some salsa with tacos but other then that the ladies working were nice. read more

The vibe in this spot is so inviting and the staff so friendly! The restaurant is small, but well decorated and clean, I felt like I was visiting a family members house not a corporate food court. The staff are very kind and friendly as well, again I felt treated like family. Loved their torta and the huevos a la Mexicana, the staples rice and beans were excellent as well. My boyfriend loved the chiccarones tacos and is always down to go back when we are craving tacos. They are cash only though so don't forget to run to the ATM beforehand! read more

Very disappointed on the service they gave me when I called to let them know that my order is not what I have ordered. Lady on the phone was rude and continued to talk over me, then hung up call. After calling back she then told me she was busy and had no time to talk to me, she will give me my money back without asking for any of my information. I had ordered mole and they just gave me chicken with hot sauce on top of the chicken. This place is a joke. NO manager skills and no owner on site to talk to. I would not recommend this place to anyone.. read more

There's a song about this place for a reason ("Queso Blanco" by Quaker City Night Hawks). A little hidden gem. Location is a little sketchy, don't let the neighborhood scare you off though. Sometimes little hole-in-the-wall businesses are the best ones. The street tacos are really good and priced well. You can get a taco combo plate and mix and match. A side of crema or guacamole, however, are a little overpriced. I tried the cow tongue which was my favorite flavor, unfortunately it made my stomach upset. That happens though with new, different, foods sometimes. They have Mexican sodas and horchata (yummy) too. *Payment is CASH ONLY. read more
