They have all the old favorites and the latest ones to include birria tacos. A definite comeback and regular go to for our Mexican cravings. A must try.

These were 3 slightly crispy corn tortillas with carne asada, slices of avocado, and the best white cheese! They made a great decision by changing to charro beans from refried beans. We're very pleased, and so happy that we now have a Mexican restaurant so close by!

Prices on the menu don't match what they charged. Brought it up a manager who didn't offer to…read morediscount it to what we agreed to on the menu. Instead told us the online menu shows the new prices. But that's irrelevant since we agreed on menu prices when we ordered. For these prices, I would've expected better service. It took almost 35-40 minutes to get our first dish. Then another 20 minutes for the 2nd dish since they forgot it. Made it up by giving us free dessert which is fine. Birria tacos were okay, nothing special. Birria Ramen was better. One of the waiters didn't seem to know what belongs to what. Had to keep asking for help. Almost gave us the wrong item twice. Seemed a bit disorganized. Ambiance was okay. Felt like any typical Mexican restaurant. Nothing memorable.

It's not big, but they can easily seat 50 people. The food was good, and fresh. I got the chicken fajita tacos, and it was tasty. My grandson loved the rice! He ate everyone's rice on this visit. The service was pleasant and quick. It was a nice lunch for our small group.

My experience was overall really good. You have to understand that this is a Latin Fusion place…read morewhich means they put a twist on traditional Latin dishes. They do have some unadulterated items like fajitas and beans and rice. Other items like the chiles rellenos are half stuffed and then layered with additional cheese, instead of stuffing the poblano pepper with all the cheese. As far as the taste and presentation - delicious and creative! Downside: water has traces of "tap" taste and the menus shown on the reviews are outdated. The server said they change the menu every 6 months.

Lunch with my mom and we shared mixed wings, spicy and honey, for an app, very good! Complimentary chips and salsa as well. We split chicken fajitas (lunch) and Papa ala Huancaina. Great flavor on the fajitas with a nice amount of caramelized veggies. Served with the usual accompaniments and charro beans. The Papa's dish was fabulous. I was skeptical because I asked if it was served hot and it's not. Think a beautifully plated, deconstructed potato salad. If you like potato salad get this! I loved it. Service by Christian was very friendly and helpful. He knows the menu well and his service was exemplary. I highly recommend this family owned spot. Try something off the Peruvian menu, it's way more interesting than run of the mill Mexican food. I will be a regular here. Loved it.

Many times you go and eat enchiladas and the chicken is flavorless, Not Here. Chicken Enchiladas is Very Tasty the chicken itself is seasoned, together with the toppings makes for perfection. The Chimmi filled with Brisket was Excellent. Just the right amount of crispness with a smooth tender center, The sour cream and cheese topping was Delicious, The cheese topping is very good. Everything was served piping hot, Im thinking everything is made from a Family recipe like I say.. made with not only skilled hand but with pride, not many places serve food made with pride. They are Happy to serve you. Very friendly place. The waiting staff is fast to Take your order with smiles and are actually Very happy to give fast friendly service. The Dinning area is spacious with a decorative decor, Solid real tables, not those fake cheaply made tables like Panchos...Really tables for Real comfort, I don't know about yall but to me that means alot, no wobbly water glass spilling tables. Built for a Real Family. It kinda give you a Home Feeling. Most places have plastic fake plants... Well Here they are real. Snake plants, ivy plants and you can tell they are very well cared for. I've eaten in a lot of places that have decor with dust gathering on them, I can mention a few places where the dust hides from lack of real cleaning. Well, be sure this is not one of those places, you will enjoy clean fresh atmosphere here, its relaxing. Ernesto has come a long way for a family restaurant. No commercial hands here, all home made, not stuff out of a can. Theres plenty of seating, so if your tired of the same Ole chain restaurant bla bla. This is the place to go for lunch, dinner or happy hour for a nice meal. They do have a bar , what Mexican Restaurant doesn't...wait take that back...any Real Mexican Restaurant does. Well the menu has great choices, Try them out, Im sure you guys will enjoy the Atmosphere and the cuisine are Great. Oh..don't be surprised if you get addicted to Real Mexican Cuisine.

The server whose name we don't know because he was super rude and walked away before we could ask or say anything. Took my menu away and went to next person while I was mid sentence trying to order. Then completely disregarded my daughter's request and brought her something completely different. Took over 30 minutes just to come to take the order and no the restaurant was not busy and we were actually one of only five tables in the place. Never came back after food was delivered, and had the audacity to charge 30% extra on our bill! This was a graduation lunch for our daughter and it was just horrible.
