Fernando's - Omaha

Great local Mexican restaurant. Was able to directly on a Saturday night that was nice as we were on a tight schedule. Gluten-free options, excellent service and drinks! The marinated meats in the streets tacos were fabulous!

Fernando's has been a family favorite since before it opened. 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 consider Mexican comfort food better than anyone in town. Additionally, their fried flour tortilla chips are unlike anything I've ever found elsewhere, and they're so good that I get an order of bean dip every time I go to the restaurant. The enchiladas and tamales are also top-notch. Overall, they're just an excellent restaurant. Definitely one of my top favorites!

Food was delicious, had the #2 Fernando?s Favorite with a beef taco and a seafood enchilada. Both were delicious. No chips and salsa come before your meal which isn?t a hug deal to me but some of you might find that a useful fact? (if you made it this far give me a thumbs up). Frozen margarita was ok, nothing special but it was drinkable? staff was friendly, restroom was clean but had a sewer smell. Nice little place for lunch!

Absolute disappointment. How hard is to mess a plate of nachos? Dried meat and burnt chips was just the beginning. Tacos were absolutely horrible and not too keen on the service either. Plates were thrown at us and there was a bit of a demeanor from the waitress. Won?t recommend.

We tried Fernando's for the first time on Saturday. Food is great and relatively inexpensive. The margaritas are very small for 7 dollars. They needed several space heaters to keep the rooms semi comfortable (and it was still chilly . The nachos were bomb. Enchiladas, tacos ,and chimichanga were all good.
