Pulled about an 8 black hair out of my enchiladas. I sent the food back and declined a remake, my appetite was GONE after that, just wanted to leave. I figured since I had only drank half of one beer they would just comp that for the trouble but thewaitress continued to give me a bill $7) I layed down a $10 and will never step foot in there again, including the guys I workwith. That was not good business or food service
I always come here with the family or with my man. The atmosphere is always comforting and the food is exceptional as always!! I have to make sure I get my to go boxes too!!
If I could leave 0 stars I would. My daughter in law and my 2 yr old grandson was there and he ACCIDENTALLY spilled cheese dip on the menu so they asked for extra napkins to clean it up and the RUDE WAITRESS made the comment she was not happy he spilledcheese on the menu (that they cleaned up). He is 2, there is no reason for that remark.
Really good food. Delicious and lots of it. Waitress was nice, but drinks didn't get refilled very quickly. Food is pricey, so we won't be there that often, but still, very, very good.
Excellent food and the salsa is amazing! Great service too- drink refills, pulling plates, to-go boxes...the service is on point.This is our favorite place to eat in Monahans.

Our whole family has eaten here for 37 years and it is just better and better. We know the delay, Mr. Fermin and Lilly for this time and to tell you the truth, there are no better people. The food was always the best. We are always looking forward to eating there. Thanks for all the years of service. The Conner family
We lived in Odessa for about 18 years and regularly made the 35 miles trip to Monahans to eat there. The best Mexican food in Basin. Just go inside, tell them, "I don't need a stinking menu and order a Vickie's Special.
We got off US 20 Exit 83 on way to el paseo and drove 3 plus miles. Cute old town with big history. Found Fermin’s on line. Wonderful lunch of taco and Chili Verde which we split. The chips were fresh and light. The picture of salsa below. Very tasty but very hot and spicy. Eyes will water. Tongue will ring but after awhile you get used to. Picture of chili verde gone. Delicious. Dessert sopapilla was last for road. Whole check with extra tortillas $22.90. Excellent service with Sondra. Most beautiful decorated Xmas tree EVER. Merry Xmas
I had dinner there twice this week and I'm really enjoying the new salsa!
I’ve been dining at Fermin's for years, and it remains my go-to restaurant. They always ensure that my takeout order is carefully prepared before handing it to me. When I get home, the food is still piping hot and fresh. The red enchiladas may not be very spicy, but they are packed with flavor, and I love pairing them with an egg. This dish is definitely my favorite to order!
