Chicken fajitas were good. Fajitas come with onion and your choice of meat with pico, cheese, sour cream, chopped lettuce and guacamole. There weren't any peppers served with the fajitas. I am used to having some cooked bell peppers with the onion, but this did not detract from the dish. The only real ding I would give is the guacamole. It was not fresh and I don't think it is made at the restaurant. The rice was very fluffy and cooked well. One point I thought was weird is there are signs saying that fajitas are $2.00 more due to food cost increases. Maybe the community can't stomach such an increase without a reason, but in 2021 prices are up across the board. Would rather the menu just reflect the correct price and not be bombarded while walking in about a $2.00 increase. Just my out of town perspective. Would visit again.

Stopped here for lunch on a Sunday, and was very pleasantly surprised at the authenticity of the Mexican food served here. Being from San Antonio, I love TexMex and this place has it! Borracho beans were served prior to the meal and they had a lot of juice and large chunks of mild jalapeños cooked into them. Delicious! My husband had the three crispy beef tacos and I had Enchiladas Verde. The flour tortillas were hot, because they had just come off the griddle. They were so good I bought a dozen to take home. The food and the service were excellent! Bathrooms were clean too!

We came in and they immediately took our drinks and orders. And we’re super fast about bringing our food out. The staff was super friendly. And the food was really good I got the shrimp enchiladas and my husband got the beef fajitas. Made our nights better after a long drive

I'm not exaggerating when I say these are the best enchiladas my husband and I have ever had. From the moment they arrived, we knew we were in for a treat. The sauce was on point, The beef was perfectly seasoned and the cheese was melted to a golden perfection. Every bite was a perfect balance of flavor and texture that we're still talking about. What truly took our experience from great to exceptional was the service. Our server, was incredibly attentive and friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, warm and welcoming. They checked on us at all the right times and made us feel so well taken care of. This restaurant is a must-visit. The combination of incredible food and outstanding service makes it a true gem

Take out. exceptional customer service to order out. And to pick up after I'd walked a little bit and then was back on the road for another hour of driving. I would definitely recommend

They have a large dining area with tables and booth. Nice decorations bar!! Plenty parking as they are located in a shopping strio center. We will be back!

Was driving back to Houston with my brother and we wanted to sit down for dinner somewhere right off I-10. A quick google search had Earnesto’s just off the freeway but a lower “star” rating from couple bad reviews had us cautious , but we took a chance and were not disappointed. The food was delicious and came out fast. The server was very attentive with a smile every time she came by. The restaurant was busy but no loud and the overall experience was great. I took a minute to read some of the lessor reviews and saw it was mostly small things so I knew I needed to share our positive experience. If you are on the west side and want to have some authentic Mexican cooking. Make sure you stop by Earnesto’s!
