    This is an awesome Mexican restaurant tucked into a random strip mall in Lafayette--so pretty unassuming from the outside. Upon entering you're greeted by tons of colorful chairs, tables and walls. We were seated and ordered an Horchata while we waited for our fajitas. The horchata was delicious-a little bit thicker and more flavorful than the average restaurant. The fajitas were really tasty, but what stood out were the fresh, stewed beans in place of the mortar-like stuff that one normally gets. Also the homemade tortillas that came with the fajitas. Everything there was so fresh and unique!

    Chicken quesadillas. I couldn't come close to eating it all.

    Great food! Authentic Mexican choices on the menu. Reasonable prices. Great atmosphere. The service was friendly and accommodating. No alcohol, if that's part of your expectation you will be disappointed. Super busy carry out business. We loved it

    The lighted sign saying OPEN!

    Showed up at 8:15pm, and they wouldn't serve me. They close at 9pm. Call ahead I guess to make sure they are actually observing their advertised hours of operation. Plenty of other Mexican restaurants in Lafayette, though!

    Steak tacos. On flour tortillas. Onion and Cilantro.

    It was the perfect stop after the football game at Purdue. Very small, but not busy. Service was great and quick. Food was delicious.

    I've been reading about Fernando's on Yelp recently. I didn't realize they have more than one…read morelocation. Only discovered this when trying to make a reservation on Open Table. It appeared they do not take reservations for the Broad Ripple location on Open Table but they do for the one on Mass Ave. Good to know. I was there on a Monday night so it ended to not being as issue. I probably could have called to make a reservation too. The food did not disappoint! Fernando's lives up to the hype. I really enjoyed the Enchiladas Rojas and Caipirinha flight of seasonal flavors. Mango was phenomenal! Service was great, the decor is cute and the restaurant is clean in a fun neighborhood. What more could anyone ask for?

    We picked Fernando's to celebrate my friends birthday . We love Mexican food, so we are always…read moreexcited to try new Mexican restaurants. We were a little worried how crowded it would be since we couldn't make a reservation. But we got seated right away. Overall, the service was excellent. Our waitress was very sweet. The wait staff was constantly clearing off our table whenever we had dirty dishes. I would say the food was average. I ordered the mole enchiladas that can with rice and beans. I also ordered a guava margarita that was really good. My friend ordered a mocktail and it was really beautiful. Always appreciate a place that can make a beautiful mocktail. We enjoyed our dinner. Based on the service I would definitely return and maybe just try a different dish.
