About

Bar: Full bar

You might expect a standard taqueria, but Ernesto's Mexican Food in Midtown Sacramento has been serving lard-free, fresh ingredients since 1991. The colorful artwork and salsa music set a spirited mood. Vegetarian options and a full bar with margaritas are part of the draw, and they take reservations. The carnitas are their signature dish.

Yelp ratings sit at 3 stars from over 1200 reviews, so expectations should be measured. Outdoor seating is a plus when the weather cooperates. It's near S Street and close to other local spots like Temple Coffee Roasters if you need a caffeine fix after dinner.
