About Ernesto's Mexican Food

Ernesto's Mexican Food has been a Midtown fixture at 16th and S since 1991, cooking with fresh ingredients for lunch and dinner every day of the week. It takes reservations and books group parties, and its catering menu covers events of all sizes.

On Saturdays and Sundays from 11 AM to 2 PM, a breakfast menu adds huevos rancheros, huevos divorciados, chilaquiles with shrimp or steak, a chorizo breakfast burrito and pozole, alongside mimosas, micheladas and Bloody Marias. The regular menu, lunch specials, a kids menu and desserts round things out, and there is a happy hour and online ordering through Toast. The restaurant closes on major holidays including Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas.
