Reviews for Ernesto's Fine Mexican Food in McKinney, TX

Food was excellent!! Service person got our drink orders wrong...twice! And then charged my sister twice for her food...on her... credit card in error AND took all the cash. Paloma is a great hostess, so personable and welcoming, coming to our table to greetus and chat. Read more

Best Tex-Mex in McKinney. The food is great, and the prices won't break the bank. Well above the likes of blue goose.

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 tequilamargaritas 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. Read more

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 theBEST 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, shegot our order right and food arrived quickly, and thank you Pamela for relaying my request of drink resulting a prefectmargarita. 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, ALLGOOD!! 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. Read more

Food was great, but our server was amazing! I went in for lunch with my mother today, and was happily impressed with the... waitress who had such a nice smile, was very attentive, and had a kind demeanor. Highly recommended Read more

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 pricesaren't over priced - like some Tex-Mex restaurants. I've been eating there for over 4yrs and everything/everyone is alwaysgreat. Be sure to tip well! Read more

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 wasflawless in understanding our requests and his service was perfect to a T. The food made it awesome and nothing that we orderedwas below our expectations. When the food is excellent and it is upscale by impeccable service , you are left very happy. Thankyou Edgar for majing our day special. We will come back soon! Read more

We?ve tried several Mexican restaurants in the Prosper. Frisco, Little Elm, and McKinney areas. Some are very good, others are... just okay. But Ernesto?s is GREAT. The Carne Asada and Enchilada combo is fantastic, as well as the queso blanco with brisket.Sweet tea is also on point! Read more
