The breakfast here is yummy and filing! The machaca, salsa, and tortillas. The waitress was very fast and made sure we always had coffee while we waited for our food. We love going right when they open at 7 am and they always are ready to serve us and great us with a smile. The tortillas are my favorite with the salsa with any of the dishes that I have ordered. You know what they say when the salsa is good you know the rest of the food is good.
They have a very good selection of menu items, both American and Mexican. Very good service. Prompt and courteous.
Went on a Thursday during lunch and even though the place was full, we got fast service. The food was great, we spent about $20 per person, and my coffee cup was always full. All the food had a home made taste and the environment was very comfortable. It was my first time here and for sure will be back.
First time here. The food was good. I got the Huevos Rancheros. They were hearty. A decent, fair price.
I've been to this location twice now and have had a great experience both times. The food, service, and time from order to food arrival were great! The comida corrida included caldo de res which was generously served. Great job guys, We'll be back soon!
I’ve been there several times now and have tried many different things. From the Burrototes to pancakes, French toast, enchiladas, burgers, menudo ( to name a few). I have yet to be disappointed. Salsas are good, everything is cooked well. I’m glad I found this place.
The food was very good. It's much bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside. We had breakfast, but I think anything on the menu is available all day. We arrived around 915am, and there was a wait. By the time we left, there was an even longer wait. Unfortunately, I didn't get too many pics.
Ernie’s is a hidden gem. The entrées we selected were excellent. My only advice is come hungry, the portions are generous and hardy!
