Ernie's - La Quinta

The new Fajita quesadilla with chicken had way too much cheese not enough chicken. We often dine at Ernies because its close to home but not really because the food is amazing.

Sat outside this evening because dining room is so cold you could hang meat in there very pleasant outside until the food arrived flys attacked our food! Mediocre service and 3 out of 4 dinners not good. Not a good dining experience

Go for the view, but not the food. Our meals were mediocre at best, and the service marginal. The octopus appetizer was clearly not cooked properly (think rubber in a nice sauce . We did eat it, but I mentioned it to the waitress when she was clearing the table, and I asked her to pass along my critique to the chef. I 'm paraphrasing, but her response was to the effect of Yea, that 's one of the dishes we 've had some issues with ... She then proceeded to bring our bill and gladly charged full price for a dish they acknowledged isn 't up to par (why didn 't you suggest not ordering it in the first place?

I love sitting outdoors on their expansive deck in the warm evening air! Salads and drinks were wonderful. A simple night out with friends.
