" On my last visit, I ordered the big breakfast burrito and it was fantastic! The flavors were vibrant, and everything tasted super fresh. However, I was disappointed in the service as the cashier seemed overwhelmed and wasn’t very polite. I definitely think their food is worth trying, but they could improve their customer service skills to elevate the overall experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this place! My friends and I have been coming here for years. We always get the carne asada fries; they never disappoint! The fries are loaded, and the carne asada is cooked to perfection. Sometimes the service can be hit or miss, but they are always efficient when it’s crowded, and the people are nice. Can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Looking for authentic Mexican food? Ferny's is the place to go. Their enchiladas are delectable, and the flavors are just like what you'd find in a small family-run restaurant in Mexico. The prices are reasonable too! The only downside was the atmosphere—it feels a bit cramped at times, but it didn't take away from the food experience. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" When I moved to the area, I quickly realized that Ferny’s was the place to be for authentic taste! Their fish tacos are superb, perfectly seasoned and crispy. The breakfast burritos are also notable, but the size seems inconsistent. The service has been friendly each time I visited, making my dining experience genuinely pleasant. " (*Curated Review*)

" A truly unique dining experience awaits at Ferny's. The variety of authentic dishes is impressive, and I appreciated their take on classic recipes. I opted for the surprise, the 'Hot Cheeto Burrito', and it was a delight! I also liked the friendly staff and prompt service. Although the space is small, it adds a homely feel. Definitely coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" My favorite dish at Ferny's is the carnitas, melt-in-your-mouth goodness! You can't go wrong with any of their tacos or burritos. Their customer service was friendly and attentive, but the wait time was longer than I anticipated. Still worth it for such amazing food! I’ve been to many Mexican restaurants and don’t think I’ve ever had carnitas this good before! " (*Curated Review*)

" Let me tell you, Ferny's never fails to impress! I often come here for their carne asada fries, which are to die for. The combination of flavors is just perfect! I would say the only drawback is the cramped seating, especially on popular nights, but the delicious food makes that a minor inconvenience in my opinion. " (*Curated Review*)
