I go eat at Ernesto's every time I visit Anthony. My family live very near by and even if I were visiting other family in El Paso, I would still want to at least have breakfast or lunch at Ernesto's. I am from Phoenix and know good Mexican food, and this one is definitely on my list. read more

Ernesto's Mexican Food - Combination plate #2 With free chips and salsa $10.95 - Mexican Near Me - Anthony, Texas

Okay so I have to go to spots when I am in the area and this is one. I love their flautas. I would say everything is amazing but there are several spots in this area and for that reason only, this is my go to for flautas. This is super late but want to make sure you all know what to order. I must say that it does become a family atmosphere after coming so much. read more

Food is always great. The service is always on point and they are nice and friendly! Would definitely go again!

This little place is a complete gem. I have been twice in the last two weeks. The chips and salsa are great. The salsa is clearly freshly made daily with real roasted peppers and packs a perfect punch. I had the menudo both times I was there. It is done very well. The broth is rich and spicy and the tripe is perfectly cleaned and cooked. First visit I had the bean and cheese burrito smothered in red enchilada sauce and cheese. I loved every bite. The second visit, I added some picadillo (ground beef with tomatoes and peppers cooked in). It was even better than the burrito with just beans and cheese. I look forward to my next visit. The place always seems clean and the staff is quite friendly. read more

This is our favorite border/Southern New Mexico cuisine restaurant. We make it a point to drive a few miles just to have their breakfast, which is the best around. Highly recommended. read more

Friendly service! :) .... Sad that they don't have jamaica to drink. They do have have horchata, lemonade, sweet tea, & your other regular drinks. Order a gordita - yummmy! They are small so if your hungry order something else or order like 3 or 4 gorditas. Do NOT get the fajitas plate they do not put bell pepper and the meat tasted like it was from yesterday (my teeth hurt from chewing the meat). The rice is not that good. The beans do taste good. read more

The chile con queso flautas are delicious. Good tasting salsa also. Never had a bad meal here.

This is great Mexican food. We had the gorditas plate and they were amazing. We also ordered the green Chile queso and it was so good that we ended up buying a 16 oz container to go. If you love spicy good Mexican food, this is a great place to eat! The service was great as well! read more

Food is good, service is slow. One employee mentioned that they cannot find people willing to work... I've tried this spot a couple times while in the area, each time, good food, but very slow. If you don't have an hour plus for your meal, you may want to consider a different spot. read more

Try the green spicy chile con queso topped flautas. Friendly staff . Shrimp cocktail was good. read more

Great food and service! Anything with green sauce is my favorite especially enchiladas or chile con queso flautas.

Very fast service. Food was delicious and very hot. Waitress was very friendly and efficient.

It's 3:30 on a Saturday and it's closed. Sign says open till 4. Pfffffft! What the heck? No sign of life!

The food & service is excellent as always. However the boss lady was once again rude. As always. She needs to learn how to talk to people. Her demeanor is angry and rude. Put her in the back somewhere.... read more

NICE LITTLE PLACE WITH "GOOD" BUT NOT "GREAT" FOOD Ernesto's is a busy and clean little place on the main drag through Anthony, NM. It is a local favorite. (And, it "is" in Anthony, New Mexico, not Anthony Texas. Check their Facebook page!) There is no parking lot and parking can be a little difficult. There are a few places along the side of the bistro. Additional parking can be found on the street behind the restaurant. The dining area is comprised of two rooms. There are approximately twelve tables and a few hard booths available. The chairs are the uncomfortable banquet style chairs. The counter at the end of the central dining area is where the bill is paid. You get the picture; this is a most casual place for dining. When I dined there two middle-aged women were running the place. They were very pleasant and did a nice job. There is a lot of customer loyalty found here which helps explain the overly enthusiastic five star reviews. The chips and salsa were on my table quickly and the main meal in about eight minutes of ordering. The salsa was flavorful and had a real kick to it. The sopapilla compuesta was a little on the thin side but it had a nice texture and flavor. The green chile meat on the sopapilla was tender and flavorful. There were also potato chunks in the chile. All-in-all, this was a quality green chile sopapilla compuesta. I also sampled their red chile meat burrito and found the taste of the chile a little strange. I don't know if they mixed up my order but there was no red chile flavor as far as I could tell. The waitress assured me that that was their red chile??? There was potato in the burrito and a little refried beans...not enough to overwhelm the flavor like in some joints. Overall, a decent burrito if a rather strange one.....not sure what to make of it. What to expect if you go: You could have difficult parking, but the place will be well managed and clean (except for the restroom). The service is most friendly and the overall food quality is good. The food is well prepared from what I observed. Not a bad place to get your fill of New Mex food. Restaurant rating = THREE-AND-THREE-QUARTER STARS.....meaning, well above average to good. Five star reviews....forget that. Loyal fans! read more

There smothered green chili burrito is so delicious!! And supper caliente!!(HOT)!!! I love spicy picoso Mexican foods!

During a recent trip to El Paso to visit family we took a wine tour and stopped in Anthony at Ernesto's. The salsa was amazing!! Very spicy with a great taste. I ordered the green chile sopapilla which was so tasty and more than enough to feed one! I would definitely go back next time I'm around. read more

Very friendly place, the sopalpilla with verde is a must have. This was my first visit & they have my business. Definitely recommend. Must try when I'm the area. read more

Overheard two locals talking up Ernesto's while on a flt into El Paso, and boy, are my taste buds thankful for my competent ear function. Upon arrival at restaurant, a diner highly recommended the burrito bathed in green chiles, and I concur. Great flavor with some heat, but not so much as to overwhelm the rest of the meal. Super friendly folks behind the counter, and delicious horchata to cut thru the heat. Que bueno! read more

Love this place! Amazing food, friendly service, great prices. I try and go here whenever I'm in town! Stop in, you won't regret it.

This place is great for breakfast and lunch. Their green sauce is made fresh daily and never disappoints. The staff is always friendly and the service is quick regardless of how busy they are. It is a local favorite where you always feel truly welcome. Amazing restaurant! read more

My go to place for Mexican food when I am in town. Everything is great! Favorites are the #1 red with an egg, Chicken Flautas Banderas, and the red Chile place with eggs. The chips and salsa are really good! read more

One of the best Mexican food restaurants in anthony n.m and maybe even el paso. I always have the chile con queso steak which is a hamburger pattie topped with green chile and cheese and some french fries. I like to add 2 eggs over easy on top of that to let the egg run down the fries and mix it all together and mm mm lol. My wife loves her plato bañado which is a burrito covered in red chile sauce. Very delicious and love the service read more
