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!

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.

I leave in another eight days to head back home, but I will definitely be making one more stop here before I leave Southlake.

I could only eat one gordita and took the other one home, but I should have known, they don't travel well - are best eaten fresh. I just used my fork. My son ordered flautas and they looked SO good! The staff was very pleasant. They bring your meals out to you. I went back after eating and stood in another line(!) for tortillas and chips to take home. I understand the lines - they have fridges along the wall full of all kids of great foods and sauces to take home! The restaurant was VERY clean and the noise level low. I can't wait to come back for flautas.

"Delicious Mexican Cuisine at La Salsa Loca Restaurant!" I recently had the pleasure of dining at La Salsa Loca Restaurant, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. The food was not only delicious but also very authentic. The owners were incredibly attentive, making sure that every guest felt welcomed and satisfied. Choosing a favorite dish was a challenging task because everything on the menu was so flavorful and well-prepared. From the rich and spicy sauces to the perfectly cooked meats, every bite was a delight to the taste buds. If you're looking for a taste of Mexico right in your neighborhood, I highly recommend giving La Salsa Loca Restaurant a try. You won't be disappointed! read more

Just as great as the food is the customer service, it's a family owned business and they welcome you as such. A must visit ! It's my new go-to returns for sure. read more
