"Really happy to have this new restaurant so close to home! It's amazing how well they renovated. The service was great. The food was seasoned really well. I only gave 4 stars for the food because it was served at room temperature even though we didn't have to wait long at all. The owner made it a point to walk around and great all his customers which was really great to see. We'll definitely be back!"

"I've been eating here at least 3 times a month and I gotta hide them 5 stars atw around the book. Before these guys opened at this location, I was driving to El Sombrero in Byram. Although El Sombrero was my favorite, I gotta tell you I now have 2 favorite Mexican cuisine restaurants! Keep up the great work!!"

"The OG Fernando owner runs this location. Felt like I was at the one original location 35 years ago. Support this location if you want to feel like you are back 35 years ago in time when Fernando's was the best in the state. Just wish there was a mariachi band there. PD. Fernando Taco is still the classic taco here. I love it!"
