One of my favorite burrito places in CU!! They opened up a location at the Yard in Broadway and it is the most cost effective option there! The burrito is huge and I love the tortilla quality. It comes with a green and red sauce, both delicious. Will order from them anytime I'm at the Yard :) as they also have rye fastest service read more

The tacos are absolutely delicious. Tasted like they came straight from Chicago. The ambience was cool chill it was OK. Service was really good. Horchata was not the best though. I will say that the only thing negative I could say about it. Is they made you pay for water they didn't even give you a glass of water made you buy a bottle. That was kind of ridiculous. Otherwise tacos are delicious. If it wasn't for the Water thing they definitely would've got five stars. read more

Got the Mexican street taco with steak, the steak quesadilla, the Mexican corn, and both salsas. Everything was absolutely delicious, and I will be going back later this week to get more! Update a day later: I went back for lunch today because I was craving it that bad! Got three Mexican tacos - 2 steak and 1 chicken along with the Mexican corn. Everything was delicious!! Update later that evening: okay the food truck was in my hometown in my defense... so yes, I got it again for dinner. 1 chicken, 1 steak and 1 al pastor - all Mexican tacos. I'm hooked! read more

Tried it out based off reviews on the food truck. The Mexican Corn was good with a bit of spice. The carne asada tacos were delicious. I tried the turkey and cheese quesadillas, which is the first time I've ever had turkey in a quesadilla, and it was good. Not sure I would get it again, but that doesn't mean it wasn't good. The restaurant prices were different than what I saw on Yelp, but that's inflation for you. read more

This place is amazing. We stopped in for a late lunch en route from Chicago to StL and we were so pleased with the quality of the food. We tried the steak burrito and the three tacos with chicken and beef. This is a place that does simple food extremely well - just a hidden gem of a spot. We'll definitely be back! read more

I was not happy when I wanted to order 2 tacos but was told that I had to order at least 3 tacos. It was odd when a restaurant dictates what the client orders. I thought the customer decides what they want, but not here I understand it's a new rule but one that's not customer friendly. Disappointed... read more

I got a vegetarian taco, Mexican style( cilantro & onion) with added beans, No Corn, extra green sauce. It was really good!! read more

After trying multiple tacos trucks in town, we decided to go with Fernando's food truck for our ~80 person wedding reception. Confirmed the reception details via call and text 4 months before the event, with another check in a week before. However, they did not show up nor reach out: NO CALLED, NO SHOWED. After us calling them multiple times and texting, they eventually responded that they had a family emergency. Though I understand these things can happen, would have really appreciated a heads up. Luckily the venue manager was able to call and get Juanito's Tacos to come save the day. Within an hour, Juanito's Tacos arrived was serving up delicious food. Wish we would have found Juanito's to begin with. read more

Best tacos/burritos in town (in my opinion). Haven't had a bad experience yet - the consistency is what keeps me coming back.

I love Fernando's! I usually go to their food truck which is conveniently located on the corner of Green & Wright, a very busy cross section near campus. They are open around lunch time and are gone by the afternoon. The tacos are ~$3 each and are very generous with the portioning of the meat. I love their steak tacos, and my boyfriend loves their al pastor-- both very rich and flavorful. The workers are very kind, personable, and offer extra sauces to go with your meal. I have very little complaints about this place other than the fact that I wish their food truck was open 24/7! read more

So excited that they opened a storefront in addition to having their food truck. Fast service, super friendly people, and temperature controlled seating in a casual dining atmosphere! We came for their well-known tacos and the best steak burritos in town. Tried the nachos this time too-- definitely shareable portion! Open for lunch and dinner. 10:30a-900p everyday! read more

Amazing, authentic Mexican cuisine / food that's consistent in taste & flavor with homemade red salsa & salsa verde. Nice spacious restaurant as well for dining in. read more

Very rude customer service. Tacos are not worth the terrible service. They will stare at you coming in and not speak and have an attitude while taking your order. Purposely messed up my order and the name of my order. Had an idgaf attitude when you tell them nicely that it's not correct. I worked in food service and always treat food workers nicely, but this attitude and rudeness he had towards me was for no reason. read more

This place is no joke. Authentic flavor, good portions, fair pricing, and clean restaurant overall. Welcoming and kind staff.

Great Tacos! The best service! Definitely recommend. I've had the Turkey Quesadilla once a week all summer. 10/10 recommend. read more

Delicious and good sized portions. We got tacos, burritos and a quesadilla plus corn and nachos. Super fast food prep and friendly service.

Service here is fast and friendly and the prices are fair. Oh and the food is delicious.

It's great to see they finally have a physical store front aside from the food truck. All in all they serve simple and great Mexican food that always hits the spot regardless of what you're looking for. I personally really like the pork tacos and quesadillas but the burritos are also very good. With a few different hot sauce options and variety of options Fernando's is a great place to grab a quick bite for lunch/dinner/ or a snack! read more

I just moved to Champaign in August and I'm excited to try all of the local spots! Last night I got to start with Fernando's. I'm especially fond of food trucks as my mom and I started our own in 2019 (she's still running it out of state). The guy that took my order was very polite and helpful. I was a little thrown off when he said they don't serve rice and beans- a staple at most Mexican food trucks. He reassured me that the burrito was still a good size and he wasn't wrong! I've only had one other food truck before that didn't include beans and rice in their burritos and it was MUCH smaller than the one here. I will say I'm impressed by the pricing based on how much is in the burrito but I do think rice and beans would be an improvement. They act almost as a caking agent and bind all the other ingredients together to form a more solid burrito and provide a little more sustenance. The flavor was good although the meat (Pastor) could've used a little more seasoning and the texture wasn't my favorite. I would prefer if it was shredded instead of leaving it chopped. The hot sauces were GREAT! Overall the ingredients tasted fresh and I enjoyed my food. I hate to harp over something as simple as rice and beans but if I ordered here again I would make some and add them to the burrito myself I would've also loved some avocado or guacamole but that's a song for another time! read more

Small, strip mall location with take out and eat-in options. We had al pastor burrito and taco, and both were great. The mexican corn was also really nice and creamy. All told, a place I'll definitely look forward to returning to in order to try some other selections. read more

I cannot recommend this place enough. Incredible food at an affordable price. Everything is delicious but my favorites are the torta and burrito with either chicken or al pastor. Make sure to get the salsas as well! read more

I ordered 2 tortas and they gave me tacos. I took back the tacos and the guy was mad and had a bad attitude! We are trying to have a good time but that was not. read more

How did I not know about this place? They have the best tacos in town. The Nachos were made the way you want with crisp chips and great toppings. read more

Food was mediocre; ordered burrito that was just not very good. Cashier was smirky when I asked for vegetarian options and suggested there weren't any. Manager stepped in but the experience sucked & I won't be back. read more

I personally think the food truck has one of the best tacos in town. I always get steak and al pastor tacos. The salsa verde and red sauce are equally good. And the elote is really flavorful and spicy. These tacos always hit the spot. However it's always so hard to track them down and know their schedule/location read more

I was in town for a visit and ran into this truck. I looked at the Yelp reviews and decided it be worth a try. I ordered one chicken and one beef taco. They were quick to make it! The green sauce that came with it was amazing. The meat was full of flavor and good price. The photo looks smushed and unappetizing but it was delicious - don't let looks be deceiving! read more

Fernando's - Chicken and beef tacos here. - Food Trucks Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

Fernando's food truck has been making some of the best tacos in the Champaign-Urbana area (along with Los Hidalguense Taco Truck and Maize), and their new location carries on their tradition of simplicity and excellence. I'm partial to their chorizo and al pastor, but I've taken a lot of people here, and I've nothing but praise for the different meat options. While it doesn't appear on the main menu, they also have some other meat options like lengua and tripas. They get your food out quickly, and the guy who takes orders is always friendly. Highly recommended. read more

Best tacos in town! Roberto is a great asset to the company always friendly and ready to help out!!

We've gotten carry out from Fernando's restaurant location 3 or 4 times now and it has never disappointed. I think they have the best chorizo tacos that I've ever had. It is now my husband's and son's favorite burrito in town. My son likes the el pastor and my husband likes steak. I keep ordering the same tacos bc they're just so good! The service is excellent. I wish they had rice and beans and avocado or guacamole but that's not a deal breaker and we will be back soon! read more

Good smaller ran business with great service. Very clean and organized inside. Could use some sauce, but other than that food was good.

This place is solid! You have to try the al pastor. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Best tacos in Champaign.

Hands down the best tacos you can get in Champaign! It's good to see this business grow over the years and the service is amazing. All in all this is a must try! read more

Fernando's isn't always easy to find but it's one of the food trucks that I'll always stop for when I see it around. The two words I associate with Fernando's are authentic and fresh. I love being able to get tacos de lengua (tongue) and other items that you don't usually see around town. The proprietor is friendly and service is quick as you'd expect. The sauces he makes are awesome, although you may want to be careful to choose one that doesn't exceed your heat tolerance-some are pretty dang hot! read more

Better than Maize. I got steak, chicken and Al pastor tacos and they were all incredibly flavorful. Al pastor was my favorite. So good and priced right! read more

My Order Was As Simple As Can Be , Mexican Style Tacos Is The Easiest Taco To Be Made And I Bet Everyone Who Enjoys Them Know What TOPPINGS go on MEXICAN STYLE... !!! And It's Not No American Style Toppings , Very Displeased And I Asked For A Refund And He Denied It , Never Will I Come Back Here ! read more

Fernando's is wonderful. They have some of the best tacos in town, and the price can't be beat. I'm also a huge fan of Maize, and to me, the chorizo tacos at both are fairly comparable in every way except for price. The value of their menu belies the quality of their food. Try one and see if you can resist going back to order four more. Others have said this, but remember that the food truck version is cash only. If you visit their new brick-and-mortar location, you can use a credit card. read more

Fernando's hands down has the best tacos in town. And for just $2 each!! Champaign has many great Mexican places like Wedge, Maize, Huaraches Moroleon but when it comes to tacos... I instantly think and crave Fernando's. They use really high-quality steak and ingredients. The taste is superb. I usually get everything on it, including the spicy green and red salsa. The owner Eric is also a really cool friendly guy! read more

I just called in to get information on their location. The guy that answered was disrespectful and gave me an attitude for not catching his location. I would not recommend a food truck that lacks customer service read more

It was the worst experience ever! First, we went to the address that showed on the Yelp site for takeout and the truck was not there. Then we checked the Facebook page, not at that listed address either. We looked for a post to see if they would post where the truck is that night or a schedule, nothing! We tried to call to find the truck while driving all over CU; no one picked up over 5 calls. Eventually, we found the address through a different website altogether. We got our food and we were missing an item to boot. Not even worth a star!!! read more

This is one of the best tacos in town. Their Mexican style tacos, served on corn, are simple and delicious. I recommend getting three. The pastor and steak are especially delicious. And, they seem like great guys. read more
