Today I was in the mood for some authentic Mexican food (not Taco Bell, although I do love it). Since I no longer live in the Hammond area, I don't get to eat at my favorite Mexican restaurant anymore. Earlier today, I was on a mission to find my new local favorite Mexican restaurant in the area.
I decided to give Fernando's in Denham Springs a try. I decided to try the Taco Salad (a safe and common favorite). It was plenty big enough and the prices as a whole were great.
The taco salad was presented with a large fried tortilla bowl and generously filled with beef, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes (hold the olives please). The food had an authentic taste and was pretty good. The taste stood above most others but not my favorite by far. The salsa and chips at Fernando's, I can pretty much say the same thing for.
All in all, this is a good, safe place for Mexican cuisine and the prices are excellent.
Food Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Cervezas
Service
The service was wonderful. They kept the chips and salsa coming and the staff works together well as a whole. Most importantly, they got my food out fast and fresh.

Atmosphere
Fernando's has a cool authentic atmosphere. The adobe walls and decor make you feel like you are dining on the streets of Mexico. The back of the restaurant features a large bar and stage for karaoke and bands.
