This place is horrible.Food was disgusting.My enchilada had nacho cheese on top. The tamale was awful and no taste.The tortilla soup taste like a can chicken noodles.The burrito was dry.I do not know how this place is open.I could of gone to taco bell for a better tasting meal.Don't waste your time or money.3 items cost me over $70I was not able to eat the food and put it in the garage. Never again try to eat here.

I was bummed left a big tip and then got home and found my order incomplete.Amazing that Cole slaw is $7:15 sign of the times I guess.

Very bad ServiceAnd food is horrible ? no flavorDon’t even waste your money

Great service from family-owned restaurant. Maria is a great hostess who remembers people's preferences from before.The food is filling and tasty. Love their hard tacos!First drink sometimes weak but the second is almost always strong.

Great family run restaurant. Authentic Mexican food.Drinks are great also!

I just so happen to stumble across this little gem of a restaurant.. This place is by far the absolute best and authentic food from any state I've traveled in! The Chimichanga is to die for ?

I have been going to Fernandos for years.. i got my food to go today around 4:00 to go.. I live in San Jose so I didn’t eat it until I got home.. usually there food and service is excellent.. especially Maria.. however today it was terrible.. I couldn’t eat it.. the rice was a white color and the shredded beef enchiladas tasted terrible.. I called and ask to speak to the manager.. supposedly her name was Ginsella .. she said you can bring it back we won’t charge and bring the rice.. I said can I just get the rice next time I come in.. not asking to replace the whole meal, she said yes bring in the rice.. seriously? I let her know I would be writing a review and she didn’t care.. sadly to say I won’t be back and I hope they find a good manager, if she was the manager.. I will be following up with this.. it’s not like I paid for Taco Bell.. So disappointed… if I could post a picture, I would.. be more professional and kind to your customers…

If you're local you might be treated well as it seems while watching the service here. Foods just okay. Service even worse. I ordered a double shot margarita and when I saw it served he poured less than a shot. The drink was just sour and over poured with mix only. Was not happy with overall experience. Would not recommend unless you're local.

Marina and her staff are the best people around. Margaritas are super good. Try the special shrimp. They're wrapped in bacon and so big. Great place for friends and family.

Food sounded good on menu but was disappointing in reality. Tortilla soup was OK but dinner platter was less than OK. Chicken was dry and tasteless while shrimps and fish has good flavor . I think they are more known for margaritas and drinking atmosphere than food .
