Fernando's Mexican Restaurant

I used to love to go to Fernando's in San Mateo, and I was happy to find one in Pleasanton.
The atmosphere was fun, the regulars were laughing it up outside :)

The inside of the restaurant was very authentic, really reminded me of my trips to Mexico.
The service was great, and our food and drinks came right away.  
The plates were really hot, but the food was only lukewarm. It was just ok, not as good as I had remembered. I had the small chile relleno combo, and my husband had a shredded beef burrito. It wasn't bad. It just wasn't " This is SO good "
Usually when we get Mexican food, we both leave Muy Feliz!
Husband doesn't want to go back, he said it was just mediocre.
I think it would be a good place to go and have a few drinks on the back patio, which really was hoppin! I'll give it another shot. I do love Fernando's mexican coleslaw and tortilla chips. The pineapple margarita was refreshing, but I'll need some premium tequila next time.
It's not a thumbs down.....it's an....I'll try again

Wow.  I've honestly never had worse Mexican food in my life.   Which included finding a hair in my enchilada.

Don't eat here...this place is horrible.

I decided to eat in the bar and obviously a locals hang out. I ordered Aros con pollo and it was more like a soup than an entree'. Not all that impressive but I will try it again to give it a fair shot.
