Ernesto's Mexican Restaurant - Prosper, TX

                                                                         
Rating:  4 out of 5 STARS!!!

I have been hearing about Ernesto’s for a while now so I thought I’d check it out today when I was in the area. The waitstaff were friendly and the food is as good as I’ve been told, except for the guacamole. This particular batch was lacking an ingredient or two…hopefully it will be much better in the near future. The chips and salsa were up to par and I found the beef and chicken enchiladas topped with queso and sour cream to be exceptional, and the rice served was delicious. Ernesto’s is authentic mexican cuisine not Tex-Mex and is a gem in this small town. I highly recommend you dine here when in the Prosper or Celina area.  Happy Dining!!

Dos Charros Restaurant Review - McKinney, TX

Rating:  3 1/2 out of 5 STARS!!!

This was my first time to dine at this establishment.  It is located inside a strip center of other restaurants. The decor is simple and basic.  Who needs frills-not this girl...the food was quite good, the service was friendly and attentive, the restaurant was clean, and the pricing is low to moderate - that's all that matters, really.

Our party enjoyed the beef and chicken enchiladas, guacamole, chips, and salsa.  The kids liked being able to cut up the enchiladas without having them fall apart. At the end of the meal, we tried a Mexican Praline. I do not recommend this particular dessert choice unless you love cinnamon, lots of sugar, and a super hard texture like peanut brittle. I do enjoy a good praline but this one fell short for us.

I recommend Dos Charros when you're in the McKinney area or their other branches called Los Charros which are located in Allen, Little Elm, and Wylie.
