If you want a place that looks like a Mexican restaurant, this is the place to go. The ambiance was…read moregreat and it felt like the many Mexican restaurants i have back home in Colorado. The staff was friendly and the food came out quick. Unfortunately, that is where the positives end for this restaurant. The flavor of the food was severely lacking. It was noticeable in the salsa that was served with the chips and the 2 entrees I ordered on separate occasions. The consistency of the salsa was way too liquidy, almost as if the salsa was watered down. The flavor was dull as well. The first time I came here I ordered the chinichanga and the second time I ordered chicken enchiladas. Though the chimichanga wasn't bad, it wasn't good either. The chicken enchiladas were also severely lacking in flavor and just bland. Everything needed more flavor. This all wouldn't have been so bad if the prices were reasonable but they were quite high and not worth the value. Between expensive food and dull flavors, I would not reccomend dining here until things change.

We originally ordered New Mexico Tamale Company through DoorDash for our Christmas Eve dinner, but…read morethere was an issue with the order on the 23rd and it never went through. When I called the restaurant, Dora had no record of what I ordered -- completely not her fault and entirely a DoorDash issue (and my own ordering ignorance). What happened next is why this place deserves five stars. Dora took my order over the phone and made sure it was delivered by her partner on Christmas Eve. They absolutely saved our holiday dinner. And the food... wow. The tamales were moist, tender, and incredibly flavorful with just the right amount of spice. The traditional rice tasted fresh and homemade, the beans and cheese were full of flavor, and the biscochitos were the lightest, most delicate cookies we've ever had. Between the incredible food and the genuinely kind women running this business, New Mexico Tamale Company is a place I can't recommend highly enough. We will definitely be back.

I am giving them a 3 star only because they are new. If I had this type of an experience at an…read moreestablished restaurant, I would have given them a 1 star. Perhaps things will improve over time. My son and I decided to try out the new Mexican restaurant in Ferndale, and that was a mistake. First for reference the restaurant wasn't that busy, they had 5 tables with customers (counting us), and 2 wait staff serving those 5 tables. The first thing we noticed was that the service was really slow, then we noticed that between the two wait staff one of them was doing a really good job and the other was really slow and far less attentive. The service was super slow to even take our drink orders, another group than came in after us had their drinks before our waiter even took our order. After a while we noticed that the tables on the other side of the restaurant were getting chips and salsa, but not on our side of the restaurant. Apparently with our waiter chips and salsa were items that needed to be ordered, rather than just bringing them to the table at first contact like the other waitress did. This really lacked any type of theme. The bar area had some Mexican tequila, but as far as the theme, it looks like a big warehouse that was converted to a dance hall that is now being used as a restaurant. For ambiance in the restaurant they had a TV with a message on it from Pandora saying "Are you still listening", which makes me think that they had some type of music on, but that Pandora timed out on the streaming. My son (22 years old) described it as cafeteria style seating and that it felt like eating in a cafeteria, not a Mexican restaurant. Perhaps that's enough, but next came the food. Looking around the restaurant as we were seated I notice that all the plates on the other tables looked like huge piles of rice and beans, and I wasn't in the mood for a massive pile of rice and beans, so I decided to order the Taco Salad. The salad was describe as this "Taco Salad: Lettuce, tomato, cilantro, and choice of meat topped with sour cream and avocado". Ok, that sounded really good to me, and there was even an option to get it topped with carne asada, or carnitas for a minimal extra charge. Yumm, that sounds good. Well when it arrived, perhaps a better name for it would have been the rice bowl. It was one of those tortillas fried in the shape of a bowl. It was mostly filled with Mexican rice, and it was topped with a light sprinkling of lettuce, cheese, salsa, guacamole and ranch dressing. Now keep in mind that the whole reason that I ordered the salad was that I didn't want a pile of rice or beans, and what did I get, the salad "rice bowl" that was mostly rice, and barely salad. So then I wanted to bring it up with them that I had not ordered the rice bowl, and that I was expecting salad items in my salad, and not a pile or rice. However it wasn't until after my son had finished his meal and we were ready to leave that they even came back to check on things. When it came time to pay, they didn't seem to know how to use their credit card machine, and after fumbling around with my credit card for a while, they said that they could only take cash. My rating (scale of 0 to 5): * Atmosphere... 0, its a warehouse space. * Service... 1, the service from our waiter was horrible, it appeared that the waitress did a good job with her tables. * Cleanliness... 5, the area was very clean. * Food... 2, maybe its just me to think that a rice bowl is not a salad. Perhaps they need some time to work out the kinks, train the staff to be service oriented, improve the atmosphere and for the chef to learn how to prepare what is stated on the menu. Give it a while, but for now I wouldn't recommend Don Samuel Mexican Grill & Tequila Bar. Any of the other Mexican restaurants in Ferndale or Bellingham would be a better choice.

This restaurant/nightclub in Ferndale was an unexpected delight Pacific highway and industrial…read moreroad. It is north of Pacific Commons Center. The two of us were amazed by the attentiveness of the server, and both owners. Charming people and good food. This place gets packed on Thursday nights when they have line dancing ($5 cover includes instruction) and often has specialty international and Latin music in many saturdays. Sunday's they have family style events and karaoke. There is ample free parking and easy access from Pacific highway.

On a recent Saturday I headed north to Ferndale for a friend's 50th bday soiree at a popular local…read moreMexican restaurant. After sipping on some margaritas and nomming a quesadilla, we all headed to the after-affair at nearby Outlaws. Confession: even though I'm a dive bar fanatic and lived in nearby Bellingham for many years, I had never been to Outlaws before! Well, now I'm kinda regretting that. This place is what you'll find in a lot of dive bars: kinda dark, but with a lot of neon, and a lot of locals hanging out on a weekend night. In other words, it was perfect! Having already enjoyed a couple of margaritas and facing a long drive home later, I settled on a pint of my trusty fave, Mac 'n Jacks, while the bday crowd enjoyed a variety of shots and (apparently very strong) cocktails. We played some pool, sat around their HUGE communal table, and just enjoyed each other's company while the 80s tunes played and the bar filled up. While I didn't get to try any food while I was here, there are rumors going around that their wings are amazing - so next time I'm up that way, I'll have to check 'em out.
