Ernesto’s Mexican Bar & Grill

The food is amazing but on two separate occasions, the manager has been unjustifiably rude. I miss the food but have not gone back. I only leave this review because someone was sharing a similar situation with the same manager so its not isolated to me. Food is great, but know there is a chance you will experience some disrespect and hateful looks from the main guy.

Five months after first review: this is my usual Mexican restaurant now. Sometimes I meet my sister. 11 am to 4 pm special $8 or $9 as the final charge despite the $8 plus tax expected from the menu. I know to say no chips when seated. The salsa is hotter than I like. I dont like the chips either. I continue to get great service. I had the shrimp fajita last several times. I get a steak special when hungry for steak. The portion size is right for me for lunch. The price is right as it includes a soft drink. Other places have increased their prices to the point I no longer go there. My last foot long sub was $13 and made me sick. I cook more at home now. I have a toaster oven with a lot of control. I get eye of round. A1 steak sauce and mashed potatoes. Soft drink from a $2 liter at $1.48. That is what Ernestos is competing against, not two quarter pounders and fries that were great forty years ago. Three weeks later: I had the $8 lunch special #4 chimichanga pork or chicken plus soft drink. There was an extra charge of $1 for pork that was not noted on the menu. They charge $7.49 or $8.49 with no notice on the menu. They charge for using a credit card with no notice. I stopped using my previous Mexican restaurant for such undisclosed overcharges. Good and service still excellent. First time at Ernestos. I drove up and down Emory Dr but could not find it. I even searched two strip malls on Emory Dr. As I was about to drive off, I saw a tall sign in Wesleyan Park Plaza shopping center. I had #17 steak and shrimp with mushrooms and onions, rice and beans. The rice was the best I ever had. The salsa was hotter than I like, but I ate it. They had functional straws, not a half inch peeking over the rim of the glass. Excellent service. The ones I met all had good English. They did try to charge a credit card fee without notice on the menu or a sign at the cashier. Ernesto himself canceled the charge and I paid in cash. I intend to go back.
