Excellent service! Excellent food! We walked in and were served immediately. Several of the wait staff came out immediately. Drinks? Immediate. The food came out right away too. And it was really good! I had Ernie’s Carne Asada enchiladas and they were perfect. It was a Thursday and it was fairly busy, but they were on the ball.
Loved the Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) decorations inside the dimly lit restaurant. The chefs cook the food extremely fast, and the servers are prompt. Everyone dresses up professionally with a tie. Food is overall good, and they do provide chips and salsa as appetizer to start. We had carnitas de puerco, ground beef burrito in restaurant and fajitas to-go. Great portion sizes.
2nd time at Ernie's Mexican Restaurant. We just ate here today. I ordered the wet veggie burrito. It was actually really good. The blend of veggies, cheese, beans and the sauce all came together. The ambience is really an experience. It feels very much an authentic vibe - the decor takes you to Mexico. The service was great, waiter was very attentive to us. Refills came without even asking.
There is parking lot, and street with meters.
Recommend this place if you are looking for good Mexican food and ambience.
(May 2023) - Dinner. If you want something light but filling, order the albondigas (meatball and veggie soup). It comes with a side of rice.
We held an event there, the catering was great, staff professional and responsive. The food was good, fast and plentiful. The drinks were great and dessert terrific. I wholeheartedly recommend this family friendly restaurant especially for group gatherings. Nelson was amazing and made certain we had everything we needed and wanted.
Johana, the catering manager put together a large memorial luncheon/repast with 2 days notice.
She made sure that we were well taken care of by Nelson and Hugo. They were so kind and attentive. The food, drinks, desserts were exceptional. Everyone went out of their way to accommodate us during this difficult time.
A true neighborhood treasure that made us feel right at home.
Thank you, Ernie’s!
It's a classic Mexican American restaurant. Excellent service. And decent food. Also full bar. On the Toluca Lake Boarders with North Hollywood. About a mile from Universal Studios.
Great Mexican restaurant. Friendly staff, free salsa and tortillas when you arrive, and the food was delicious. Excellent, definitely worth a visit.
Always my go-to spot for drinks and dinner after working too many hours. Staff is always friendly, tons of menu options and everything is consistently delicious. Great mojitos, and solid happy hour. Laid back comfy restaurant that has exactly what you'd hope for.
This was an exceptional choice for dinner! We arrived around 5pm and sat down right away, but the place filled up quickly. The staff were wonderful & the food was excellent!
