" Amazing Mexican food right in Ankeny! I’m picky when it comes to authenticity, but this place has got it down. Their salsa is fresh, with just the right kick, and the carnitas were excellent. I brought my family here, and they enjoyed everything as well. I loved that they serve everything hot and fresh. Not too many Mexican places do that, where you can taste the love they put into the food! If you haven’t been to Hernandez, you are definitely missing out. We’ll be returning for sure, maybe even tomorrow! " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me just say that the authenticity at Hernandez is remarkable! I loved every dish I have tried so far. Last week I had the carnitas, which were flavorful, seasoned well and a perfect texture, not too greasy. The staff constantly checks on you, and you can tell they enjoy being there. I had a moment of concern about a long wait once, but they swiftly addressed me and provided complimentary chips while I waited—very thoughtful! Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Two of my colleagues and I decided to try out Hernandez and see what the buzz was about. I ordered the steak fajitas, and they were outstanding—smoky, tender, and generously portioned. The chips served with salsa were a great start, very fresh. The staff were friendly and the service was reasonably quick given how busy they were. Overall, a great discovery, and I’d recommend it to friends looking for good Mexican food in Ankeny! " (*Curated Review*)

The menu is bursting with authentic Mexican flavors, and I couldn't resist ordering the carnitas. They were perfectly cooked, tender and bursting with flavor. The portions were generous, and I loved every bite! I also appreciated how quickly the service was, our server was attentive without being intrusive. If you're craving genuinely delicious Mexican food, this is the place to be! I can’t wait to return with my friends and family. " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me tell you about my experience at Hernandez—truly delightful! One of the best parts about this restaurant is how they make you feel like family. The service staff is exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The ambience sets a relaxed tone, making it the perfect spot for a casual dinner. I loved the birria tacos; they were incredibly flavorful and had that nice balance of spice. Portion sizes are generous as well, and the prices are quite reasonable for such authentic dishes. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking great food and a warm environment. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just came back from a weekend trip to Ankeny, and Hernandez was the highlight of my culinary experience! The taco platter I chose was simply amazing—authentic flavors and generous portions. The margaritas were a perfect match, refreshing and not overly sweet. The only downside was the slow service; it seemed like they were a bit understaffed when I visited. If you can get past the slow service, you're in for a real treat! " (*Curated Review*)

" Hernandez Mexican Bar and Grill is a hidden gem! I loved the cheerful décor, and the service was polite. My friends enjoyed their dishes too; I tried a bit of the fish tacos that they had, and they were really fresh with just enough spice to kick it up. I ordered the burrito, which was hefty and flavorful. No complaints on the food or the service. I plan to return with my family next time for dinner! " (*Curated Review*)
