Ernesto's Fine Mexican Food

Great first visit to Ernesto’s last night! Our server Edgar was prompt, attentive and friendly. He made good suggestions on food and drink. We were there celebrating a friend’s birthday and had four adults and four kids there. The overall value of the meal was very high with the bill being just under $200 including two appetizers and 2-3 margaritas for each adult.

I finally found a great Tex-Mex restaurant my wife likes too! We have been 3 times now, and the food has been consistently awesome: Steak, Enchiladas, Fish, Shrimp, Poppers, all good. We keep trying new things each time, and they keep amazing us. The wait staff has always been friendly and prompt, with the food and drinks always arriving promptly. The various tequila margaritas are all very tasty, and the bartenders make a custom mango drink with vodka that my wife loves. On our last visit, Paloma, noticing that we were repeat customers, stopped by the table to say hello and thank us for our patronage - a nice, sincere sentiment. This is our new go-to place for Mexican cuisine.

First time here, LOVE it!

I'm not a big fan of Mexican food but Ernesto's changed my mind.

We started off with some drinks, since my stomach only agrees with Vodka, I requested a premium margarita with Vodka base but not tequila. Chris then made me the BEST margarita ever!! He even came check on me for feedback, of course I told him how much I liked it!

For food:
Beef nachos - great!
-- Tender meat and cheesy

Bacon wrapped shrimp - great!
-- bacon crispy and shrimp perfectly cooked

Grill tilapia - great!
-- garlic lime sauce is delicious

Service was awesome as well. Pamela was friendly and attentive. Most importantly, she got our order right and food arrived quickly, and thank you Pamela for relaying my request of drink resulting a prefect margarita.

We'll definitely go back. Highly recommended.

UPDATE: Went there twice more after first review, and you know what? Everything was GREAT!!

All I can say is, their food is GOOD! Tried all protein, chicken, steak, shrimp, fish, ALL GOOD!!

Service: Jonathan, Paloma, Louis, all friendly but not in your face kinda attentiveness.

If you have yet been there, give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

Great Mexican food in McKinney! They are fast to get your food out and they haven't cut corner on the quality of food after Covid - like other restaurants. The staff is nice, friendly and accommodating. Great place for lunch or dinner and the prices aren't over priced - like some Tex-Mex restaurants. I've been eating there for over 4yrs and everything/everyone is always great. Be sure to tip well!

Edgar is the guy you should have as a host! It was my son’s birthday celebration that we went to celebrate. The food was excellent and we had not had it this good in Frisco/Dallas area from last 5 years.
Edgar spoke just a bit of English but he was flawless in understanding our requests and his service was perfect to a T. The food made it awesome and nothing that we ordered was below our expectations. When the food is excellent and it is upscale by impeccable service , you are left very happy. Thank you Edgar for majing our day special. We will come back soon!
