Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

I thought this place was really good! They had great chips and salsa. The chips weren't stale or too salty and the salsa's were delicious. I ordered the "Tampiquena" which has skirt steak, rice, beans and a quesadilla. It was great, it had great flavor and was cooked just like it asked. The waitress was very nice and helpful. I really like this restaurant and as someone that is Mexican, I rarely like Mexican food restaurants.

While visiting my daughter we went there one afternoon. The beef tacos were really good, especially the fried shells. Tried them a second time and they completely destroyed the order. After correcting everything and a freebie of tortilla chips all was well. I will try them again on my next visit home!

My favorite Mexican food joint. I eat hear probably 2-4 times a month. They make the best real cubana torta. They bring 3 different salsas to the table unlike most other restaurants.The avocado jalapeno salsa is so good! Try the verde enchiladas, very good!

I loved this place. Awesome food! I told friends about it took them there and got one of the nastiest waiters I have ever had. I will never go back there even if the food is great.

I only been here about 3 times, and I am very glad I went back. The first time was okay but each time was better. The last time I had the steak chimichanga which was very good! We usually do take-out there though because it's so close to home. Nachos are great too but probably even better if you eat them there.

Amazing staff and Authentic Mexican food!!!!

Everytime I come here I'm a little bit more disappointed. I ordered a taco salad using the drive thru, which was empty. $11.11 and twenty minutes later i recived my order. $11.11 for a taco salad, really? Then there's the service. I felt unwelcome. And like I was being a bother by my order. At least the food did not suck. But, there is much better, much faster, better service, and more reasonable prices in the area.

In the past this was the BEST place to get their carbon tacos, and they were fantastic. They were so good that I would come in at least twice a month. The quality and feeling completely unwelcome was starting, but was not terrible. After my last experience, I will never return. I called in an order for some carbon tacos, and I happily picked them up and raced home to devour them! When my husband and I opened up the tacos, we saw brown rotten cilantro in all tacos, and the meat was the leftover fat you toss in the garbage! At that moment, my husband and I decided that in the future we will go back to our previous favorite, El Rodeo. Never again can I visit an establishment that would serve paying customers rotten herbs, and fat scraps. I did not take them back to the store, I just tossed them in the garbage. They were not even fit for my dogs to eat. No, I did not get snippy with the folks at the restaurant as I know better than to be mean to the folks preparing your food. This was just really awful food.

Thought it was just another taqueria. ..it's quite above average. Everything is better here! The salsas are great...I ordered the 3 tacos in chicken...yum!!...pork...delish ...and the very unique bacon??!!...yes a bacon taco...so bad for you but sooo good! Super reasonable prices with plenty of parking and a very friendly staff with fast service. I will certainly go back:)
(5)Albert J.
This place have the most disgusting chiles rellenos I never will be back bc o did get. Sick will them food
(1)Ashley L.
Great place, was actually surprised by the excellent service and 3 choices of sauces! Highly recommend the 3 steak taco dinner. Only concern is that it's a little crowded.
(4)Andy M.
Finally a taqueria with a drive thru. This place has daily specials and some of these include meals with fries. I had the taco plate and the burrito dish with fries which is the Tuesday special at 5.99 this place is pretty good and as authentic as it can be and I suppose it is part of the Fernandez taco restaurants elsewhere in the suburbs
(4)Carol B.
The food was good. Got tacos. The price was about average especially for the size of the taco. The order was to go but the inside looked pretty decent. We will eat here again and probably give some other menu items a try.

Enjoying my half burrito from last night as I type... this place is great! Full bar, cocktails menu, small karaoke stage, 3 types of salsa that come with the free chips, good food, nice waitresses, Univision on the TVs, and good prices! All of these crammed into a rather small but comfortable restaurant. I read that they have a drive-thru window too?? I really appreciate that they know how to wrap a burrito well. There was meat all the way down to the final bite. And the steak from the tampiquena dinner had such a good, char flavor! 1 guacamole, 1 burrito, and 1 dinner entree was like $20. I docked 1 star for the cheesy lights, not appealing diner looking furniture, and the Halloween decorations (that cackling witch above the front door really scared me). Sorry!

Delicious! Homemade taste. Generous portions. Delicious chips and salsas. Great prices. Good drinks. This is our late-night and after-meeting go-to place. The staff is friendly and ready to describe their menu in detail. It is sort of a fast-food, drive through, but with seats and full service! Nice combination. Often has entertainment during the weekends. Could be a little cleaner.

We've only been here once so I'll stick to 3 stars for now. The food was very good. Based on other Yelp reviews we tried the steak burrito & the al pastor (pork) tacos. I loved the tiny diced & grilled pineapple in with the al pastor tacos, a nice touch! They now give you 3 salsas on the table with your chips & since they don't bother to explain them unless you ask let me tell you: only the really red one is mild. The green, which I've often found to be mild elsewhere was actually the hottest of the three here! The other is more of a medium heat in my opinion. Their house made tortilla chips are a bit thicker than what you might be used to...I liked them but hubby prefers the thin kind. I also tried their Sangria which is red wine, fruit & tequila - delicious and strong! The restaurant was clean, appears to have a full bar, and everyone there was very nice. The food also came out quite fast.
(3)Carlo S.
I've used their drive-up twice to order tacos al pastor and horchata. The food was good and hot (as in not cold). The service was fast and friendly. What else could I ask for?

I had posted that i got sick after i ate here.. Well it wasnt only me, my husband got sick also!! Shame on you!

Los Fernandez is where you come to dine on Mexican food for those people that believe that Taco Bell isn't really Mexican cuisine. If you choose to believe so, go right ahead. For the rest of us, there's Los Fernandez. Most of the times I've been here our groups have sat in the dinning room. They serve you with fresh hot chips and two dips while you wait for your order. The tacos and other menu items are all reasonably priced, just watch out for all the grease you're about to intake. Thankfully I don't eat here too often. Only one gripe, if you order from the drive-thru, they don't through in the chips or dip. Eat in if you wish to attain this freebie. The bonus is that they are open late so if there's nothing else left in Streamwood or Hanover Park after dark, there's always this little Taqueria.

I ordered the enchilada dinner. Besides only getting 2 enchiladas, where as any other Mexican restaurant gives you 3, mine were really watery and had no flavor. I know what a good enchilada tastes like and this place is subpar, at best. Besides the enchiladas, the horchata taste unauthentic and store bought, probably Walmart brand. This is the second time I've been here cause I never judge a place on the first visit. And now that I know it's not a fluke, I'll never go back. The worst part was the $20 price tag for this garbage that they call food.
(1)Ericka L.
This location is closer to my house and I love them! Very good al pastore tacos (broiled pork topped with onions, cilantro, and pineapple) and really good ground beef tacos. I've had some trouble a few times with drive thru orders being incorrect but they are more than accommodating when you bring it to their attention (and they throw in freebies as a sorry).
(4)Ajay S.
Went here with the family. I tried a torta, which was quite good and found the food a bit spicy, which I liked. On the other hand, my wife had the cheese enchiladas, which we're really hot, and she didn't care for them. I can tell they remodeled a while ago, which is good. I'd like to go again, but probably for take out. BTW, parking is in the back, which I didn't care for.

Tacos, burritos, guacamole, soup... This place has yet to let me down!! Generous portions, friendly staff, and they even have a drive thru!! Amazing!!!
(5)Matt W.
They weren't saying BOO, they were saying BOOrito! This will be short and sweet as I only get one thing from Los Fernandez Taqueria - their steak burrito with cheese, beans and lettuce. It's messy and a bit ungainly but OH MY GOD DAMN GOODNESS is it good! Unlike a lot of burrito hausen, their steak is NEVER gamey or fatty. The lettuce is never wilty or gross and there beans are never overpowering. It's the perfect combination of piping hot steak and beans with cool cheese and this great cold core of shredded lettuce running through the center. So delicious. They're across from the laundrioteca and have a neat little drive-thru, I whole-heartedly recommend them and their deviliciously tempting boorito. Yum!

I've lived in Streamwood for over 17 years and have tried every Mexican place in the area. I've been to them all...back and forth on Irving Park and Lake St, up and down Barrington and everywhere in between. You know what I've concluded? This place is the BEST. Eating in or talking it out, I've always been stuffed and satisfied after eating their grub. My choices are always the steak tacos, the burritos or the tampiquena and they all are always great. The steak is always flavorful, tender and lean and they never skimp on the portions in whatever you order. I need all my will power not to gorge myself and make myself sick from over-eating because it's that good. Eating inside, there's always at least two tables occupied. Service is always friendly and prompt. When you are seated, they bring you a basket of warm chips and two delicious salsas that are both amazing. I've been to other places in the area where they actually charge for that....should be complimentary at any good Mexican place. They offer quick refills on them when you plow thru the first basket, too. As an aside, the horchata is top-notch as well. Sweet and cinnamonny, it's like a glass of heaven. They've recently remodeled and the inside looks fantastic. The first time I ate there years ago, the owner, a super-nice lady, was at the counter. I told her how much I enjoyed the meal and she was very pleased. I still see her in there from time to time and tell her how much I still enjoy her food. Glad they have been able to stay in business, unlike many other places in the area. Even a great place can close down, but they're going strong and I hope they can keep it up.

love the food! The Michelada are out of this world! Truely authentic.
(4)Mickey H.
Great traditional Mexican food. Try the soups. Eat soup there, the serving is triple the size. Menudo is ok too. Steak tacos are great. My fav is the Huevos rancheros. Oh and they have a drive thru!
(4)Craig M.
Not my favorite for Mexican food (further down the street at La Hacienda De Roselle is better) but this place has the best horchata and is among the minority of Mexican places that offers free refills of it. That alone makes it worth enduring the mediocre service I've encountered in the MANY times I've been there.
