Sign on the desk upon arriving immediately tells you to give the servers a break they at least showed up. Immediately seated in a large booth with a tiny round table. Took awhile for anyone to come over, despite seeing staff anda manager pass us. No free chips salsa, no biggie. Chips are DELISH! Best part of the dinner. Ordered: Chicken Quesadilla Chili Relenos No BEUNO. Chicken tasted reheated and from a pre sliced bag. Quesadilla filled with an over abundance of whatlooked and tasted like Colby Jack cheese. Chili slop was nothing more than a bag or two of cheese heart attack dish. Didn?tfinish either dish and didn?t take leftovers. Too much cheese covering the lackluster chicken. Dessert: Fried Ice Cream:DELISH Price: Fair Service: Slow Recommendation: Maybe not go on a busy understaffed Friday night. Parking is limited on busynights.

We've been going to El Bee's (same recipes, although the menus have diverged a little) forever, and we've been loving Fernando's, too. It's true, it's not traditional or authentic Mexican;it's definitely Americanized Mexican (with no shortage of cheese on everything). However, Fernando's does what I considerMexican comfort food better than anyone in town. Additionally, their fried flour tortilla chips are unlike anything I've everfound elsewhere, and they're so good that I get an order of bean dip every time I go to the restaurant. The enchiladas andtamales are also top-notch. Overall, they're just an excellent restaurant. Definitely one of my top favorites!

Gluten free options, excellent service and drinks! The marinated meats in the street tacos were fabulous!

Tonight I came in with my family of 6 around 8 pm (less busy time) and was asked when ordering drinks if we were ready to order. We declined andordered an app. When she came back with the drinks she asked again, so we ordered. Just minutes later all the food arrived, withno appetizer. When I asked about the appetizer she said she forgot about it and would put it in. When she finally brought it outit was cold. I asked for a new appetizer and then waited to eat my meal until it arrived. While eating the appetizer, she askedme if I wanted a box. She rushed the check, and waited at the table for my husband to sign the tip receipt, immediately takingit once he finished signing. People go out to restaurants to enjoy a meal, not to be rushed through it. Slow down. Let peopleenjoy their drink, appetizer, etc. Don?t make them feel like they?re the one thing standing in the way of you cashing out andgoing home.

Seven dollars for a small basket of chips and salsa seemed inappropriate. Do not recommend.
