" An absolute must-visit! The enchiladas were delicious, the ambiance was festive, and the staff were welcoming. I was particularly impressed with how quickly our food arrived, especially for a busy Friday evening. I can't recommend this place highly enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a disappointing experience at Ernesto's. The service was dismissive, and the food lacked the freshness I expected. I ordered the fish tacos, and they seemed like they had been sitting out too long. While the vibe of the place was good, I don't think I will be returning any time soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Ernesto's on a Saturday night. The wait for a table was over 30 minutes, but it was worth it! The atmosphere was lively and vibrant. I ordered the guacamole and it was fresh and delicious. The main dish, chicken fajitas, was also satisfying in terms of portion size. The service was a bit slow, but we were informed ahead of time. Overall, a pleasant experience, and I'll return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Ernesto's for the first time last week. The food was average, but the ambiance was fantastic. I particularly enjoyed how the staff interacted with their customers. I'd give it another shot but with lower expectations on the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very mixed experience at Ernesto's. I absolutely loved the ambiance, it felt authentic and welcoming. However, my food was lukewarm and not as flavorful as I remembered from previous visits. I hope they can work on their consistency! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a bit disappointed with my visit to Ernesto's. I was looking for authentic cuisine, but the seasoning in my dish was lacking. The service was decent, but we felt a bit neglected since our server was often occupied with other tables. The atmosphere is cute, though, so that's a plus. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ernesto's quality has been steady over the years. My go-to dish has always been the enchiladas, which never disappoint! The service is generally good, and it's a great place for family gatherings. " (*Curated Review*)
