We planned a weekend in Erie to visit some of our favorite places, and Enrique's has always been…read morehigh on that list. When we heard they reopened after the fire and were temporarily operating out of the Flagship Food Hall, we made sure to stop by with friends. Unfortunately, when we arrived during the posted business hours (both on Google and at the location), the booth was closed. We weren't the only ones -- at least seven other patrons were waiting and left disappointed as well. It was frustrating to see so many people looking forward to enjoying Enrique's, only to find it closed without notice. This kind of inconsistency feels like poor business practice, and it left us very let down. We truly hope Enrique's can improve communication with customers, because the food has always been worth the trip -- but experiences like this make it hard to recommend right now.

I ordered a brisket taco and pulled pork taco with a side of guac. The brisket taco was by far my favorite. The meat was flavorful and the additional toppings complemented it well. The pulled pork taco was good too, but definitely enjoyed the brisket more. Perfect spot right by the state park with picnic tables and parking. Highly recommend stopping by and giving it a try.

The only thing I will say is that I got the banana pudding and was a little disappointed when the cup wasn't filled all the way up for the price.

The variety of tacos--including beef, chicken, and vegetarian options--was fantastic, and everything was freshly made and delicious. The rice, beans, queso, salsa, and chips were equally outstanding. The members of our organization could not stop raving about the food! There was plenty for everyone, everything was fresh and flavorful, and the delivery service prompt. El Amigo Catering made feeding such a large group completely stress-free at a reasonable price. We would definitely use El Amigo Catering again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for delicious food, generous portions, and wonderful service. Five stars all around!

Always start of with their trio dips that consists of queso , chori-queso dip and the guacamole. Complimentary chips and salsa is served minutes right after you are seated. Though, I must warn you that the service can be very slow and servers tend to be forgetful about parts of your order. Our last visit here they got our order wrong twice and this time they forgot our water and tortilla. I would definitely come back for their food, but might just opt for a takeout instead.

The waitress was kinda rude, who said "the menu doesn't always match the dish." Earlier, when I asked her what kind of meat was in Birria taco, she said "beef and pork". I've never had Birria that's a mix of beef and pork. I don't think she knows what she was saying. The manager eventually came out to apologize, which was nice. But as we were paying, the waitress came out and said "sorry about your experience but it's not my fault", which was really unnecessary. Obviously she's partially responsible if she told me in my face that "menu doesn't always match the dish".

The servers were friendly and the food was flavorful, fresh to order and came out piping hot. Everything came out at the same time for the table waited less than 10 mins for the food to arrive. The place was clean and definitely gave like school sports bar vibes. The owner was friendly and even helped out his staff when the line was getting a little long, which is a sign of a true leader! My only critique is that they need thicker napkins for the table as my party used maybe the entire supply from the table. You definitely get what you pay for here! I will be eating here anytime I'm in Erie! 10/10!

Bad - the TV on the wall is blaring - way too loud and there's no one here. I asked if they could…read moreturn it down. The cashier gave me a look and turned it down one notch - barely perceptible. Haven't been served yet, but I'll return to rate the food. I'm back. The food was a bit bland for Mexican food. However, it wasn't terrible, but mostly a bowl of rice with a few shrimp and grilled vegetable. At $12 or so it was reasonably priced. Now, to get back to the sound level of the TV - part of the problem was the employees had their own music playing behind the counter. I'm an engineer, so I have a db meter on my phone. While we ate I recorded the sound level in the room. It was between 70db and peaked at 90db. I've included a screenshot of the peak sound - you can see the equivalent level on the chart. I don't think I was out of line asking to turn it down (it was louder). A little cultural background music creates a pleasant ambiance. Loud music is just annoying - I won't return.

We waited so long to be asked for our order. Besides asking for our order and bringing us the food and check, the waitress didn't come back. No refills or anything. She could hardly speak English, which I truly don't blame her for, but it doesn't excuse not serving us. The price was terrible. Entirely too expensive for food that lacks quality. The chips and salsa were not good. The only reason I'm giving it 2 stars and not 1 is because the food was good enough. It was not quality but I had no major problems with it. We will not be back.

Of course, that's a shame, but lets hope that the presence of Ernies leads to more people taking the time to get the permits, figure out the logistics, and take this risk. Located on weekdays during work hours at Perry Square, Ernies is a small, locally-owned food truck that offers up Erie's own Smith hot dogs, Italian sausages, hamburgers, turkey burgers, cheesesteaks, steak wraps, BLTs, pulled pork sandwiches, and more. It's a safe menu, sure, but Ernies makes every meal fresh and made-to-order. This means that it takes a little longer (my Italian sausage with onions and peppers took probably 6-7 minutes), but being so fresh and at an extremely reasonable price of $4, it was well worth the wait - especially considering the guys behind the counter were personable and more than willing to chat with me while they were cooking, as it wasn't too busy. From out of town and need to get a fresh Smith's hot dog (aka the best hot dog on the planet)? Here's your chance. As much as I love Sara's for what it is, I've never liked that their dogs sit on the burners for way too long. Here, you don't have to worry about that. Support these guys. They're local... and if they do well, who knows? We could very well see some more of these pop up downtown (how about an El Canelo taco truck, a place with Lake Erie perch fish tacos, Erie pierogies and pepperoni balls, etc.?).
