Editorial Review for Ernesto's – by Kira O'Donnell
The Scene
If you're grumpy and need a lift, visit Ernesto's. The booths are comfortable, the service is some of the best in Sacramento, and the warm chips, delivered as soon as you sit down, are muy bien. The interior is Acapulco meets art deco, and loud salsa music reverberates off the walls in this family-friendly climate.
The Food
The usual authentic Mexican fare--carnitas, burritos, fajitas, tacos--done with a healthy, refreshing flair. If you're into spicy food, check out the tender, hot pork chile verde, a house specialty that's sauteed with green tomatillos, chiles, onions and fresh cilantro. Vegetarians will have a field day with the Navajo Bonanza Burrito, groaning with mushrooms, zucchini, corn and carrots, and a special spicy-citrus chile sauce.

The husband and I have recently discovered the awesome experience that is the Ernesto's weekend breakfast. You start with chips, salsa, and bean dip (complimentary). The breakfast menu has a pretty wide range of choices. I whole heartedly recommend the Huevos con chili verde. Delicious!!! 10 out of 10!! The pozole is also fantastic. The full menu is available as well. Breakfast starts at 9am Sat & Sun. And as always, the dinner and lunch menu is great as well. My favs are the carnitas taco salad, the carnitas plate, and the variety of shrimp (camarones) choices. Service is always great. Outdoor seating is great. Mariachi Fridays! All in all one of my favorite places to dine downtown. Not too fancy, but upscale enough for a date. Good value for the portions and quality. Thumbs way up!
Pros: Food is always great! Service is fantastic. Love the decor. All around great place!
Cons: None!
