Ernesto and Grace Torres put a fresh spin on classic Mexican food at Ernesto's. Their kitchen team crafts nine signature sauces, each promising a unique blend of flavors for your plate of seafood, steak, or chicken. So pick your favorite and order it smothered on a grilled filet of cod or red snapper, plump jumbo shrimp, or lump crabmeat.

For a more traditional dish, opt for the classic mojo de ajo sauce, a blend of butter, parsley, and fresh garlic. If you like your seafood spicy, then try the diabla. True to its name, this sauce brings the heat with chipotle peppers, plus onions, garlic, and butter. The Acapulco sauce might be your best bet if your taste buds are craving something tropical. A mix of coconut, pineapple, and orange liqueur with savory green onions and butter, the Acapulco complements any of the seafood dishes. You can also mix and match two sauces if you're having a difficult time choosing just one.
