"So good, and incredible size! I couldn't eat all of either one."
"Food was inedible because it was cold and disgusting. There was so much guacamole in the Cheese Quesadilla that it fell out all over the place and the 4 Rolled Tacos was covered in flakey cheese and had a chalky texture and taste. The Side Rice 8oz was good. I will not recommend this place and will not be back."

"best place for street tacos and the first place to do 3 Mini Adobada tacos correctly that I've tried. would order again. Great portions. good value."
"The burrito was a little skimpy but delicious. Skimpy compared to other mexican restaurants version of a carne asada and egg breakfast burrito. But definitely delicious. The chorizo egg and cheese burrito was also very good but small. No complaints whatsoever about the taste or the cost. But the burritos were so small they were flat like a quesadilla. "

"I absolutely loved the Ensenada fish tacos. Best fish tacos I ever had. Not fishy taste at all and all ingredients were fresh. The tortillas were great too and they help up very well did not get soggy."
"Ordered the California burrito. It's a great size, but too much cheese and felt like a filler for the lack of other ingredients. The fries inside were more blanched in the oil than fried. A pool of oil had gathered at the bottom of my burrito as I was eating it. Couldn't even finish it bc of how oily it was. Would order from another taco shop for better quality, taste and price."

"Sausage & Egg Burrito was good, good size and double wrapped like I requested.
Good price compared to other places around."
"We literally order Ferny's at least once per week, and anytime we try a different shop for burritos, beans, and rice, we wish we would have ordered Ferny's. The beans and rice are perfectly cooked and seasoned. We usually each get a Crispy Potato Taco as a starter, and then we have part of a burrito. I get the Pollo Asado Burrito with some additions, and my hubs gets the Chicken Chipotle Burrito. The leftover burrito, Side of Beans, and Side of Rice become a whole second meal! Do not make the mistake of trying another taco shop...Ferny's is the correct answer! "

"I lovvee coming here they have the best Mexican food in El Cajon by far, and ive tried all of the locations in my area! They have very fresh ingredients and SUCH delicious meat!! The tortillas are definitely top tier and it just ALWAYS hits the spot! "
"This place is always tasty and hits the spot! The beans are delicious and the 2 Enas Combination Plate is SO much food. This is our go to Mexican food spot.
My only note to add is that the orders often have something missing, usually something small like tortillas or salsa. We've noticed it's inconsistent with how many salsa you'll get if you order extras or don't add the note, sometimes it three sometimes 12 and everywhere in between. It doesn't bother us much though!"

Tastes just like a homemade generous portion of flour tortillas as well as you can tell in the pictures it looks like a burrito and the homemade Mexican rice with cilantro onions and all the trimmings was perfect!! Made a perfect healthy nutritious meal on a day when not feeling my best. This will definitely help! "

"Yea ima just say it they got the best California Burrito in all of California. I cannot think of anything they could improve it's just a perfect burrito. It is a few dollars more than other taco joints but you get your moneys worth it is a large burrito. Tortilla is fresh and toasted to perfection, they use actual diced potatoes that melt in your mouth with so much flavor and without being greasy at all, the steak is seasoned well and has a nice sear to it, they use high quality Mexican cheese that stays melted 30 minutes after it leaves the restaurant, they also use real Mexican sour cream with the perfect amount. To top it all off all 3 of there hot sauces are perfect and the best ive had. You are missing out big time if you havent tried this place "
"Tortilla Soup is the best I've ever had. it's full of fresh veggies and is a good amount for the happy hour price. Chicken Taco (One Piece) did not come with the rice and beans and drink that it said it would. Taco was good, but needs to be priced different for one taco. Vegetarian Burrito was super good and fresh!"

I gave this store another chance and the guac in my bowl is brown and all I can taste is lime. Yeah there's supposed to be lime in here but I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to overpower everything in the bowl like this. When I spend $20+ on a single meal I expect better."

"I got the quesotaco with steak, and while the grilled cheese looked a little overdone, it had a nice crisp without tasting burnt. They don’t skimp on the steak either, way more generous and authentic than what Chipotle’s been serving lately. Overall, a solid choice if you’re craving something hearty."
