It has been a few years since we have eaten here. Came in for a late lunch and the place was empty. The male owner was serving us and seemed very rushed. That was not a good feeling, but then he also did not speak English well. He messed up three of the four items we ordered and of course they all cost more than what we ordered. When we got the bill and told him, he got the cook and we were able to settle everything out easily. We were told that the owner's wife was out so he was serving. We were happy to hear that his serving was temporary :). I am not sure if we received the lunch item or dinner item because our bill was wrong, but I ordered the chile verde chimichanga which comes with rice and beans. It was hot and fresh and absolutely delicious! My partner had the bean and cheese lunch and he loved it as well. The salsa was flavorful and mild. All of the food was mild so next time I will ask for some spice! The restaurant is a good size and festive looking. It was clean and comfortable and the prices were good! We can't wait to go back! read more

It's been a couple years since we ordered take out from here and it was a bad experience unfortunately tonight when we did. Ordered half chicken which husband enjoyed but the rest was thrown out. 4 chicken flautas that were so burnt the meat looked like burnt steak. The chips they added for free were dark brown, the jalapeño poppers over cooked and dark brown was also missing any ranch for dipping. Lastly, we ordered 2 carne asada tacos and the meat was also burnt black and dark brown bits, no lime served on the side for these. After leaving a 25% tip online we'd hoped to have an enjoyable meal but we were disappointed. Also surprised at whoever packaged the food, letting it be served in that condition was concerning. We'll try elsewhere next time we are in the mood for good Mexican food. read more

Always a win here... low key, casual experience... truly, don't expect comfortable seating. It's bare bones table and chairs with soccer playing in the background!! Food has been spot on for each visit. Been here 6 times now and even brought family that were visiting. All dishes have been excellent!! Very reasonably priced, lots of options, including Salvordean!! Ala Cart items include a small salad.... Winning!!!!! Give them a chance!!! read more

Excellent food. Salsa was delicious, rice was perfect, huevos rancheros was awesome. Very delicious restaurant!

Friendly waitress & very good food. It has a homey feel to it as the menu has a diverse selection of Mexican & Peruvian dishes. We were here on X Mas Eve for lunch so it was quiet but there were still a few other customers. I definitely would come back as I like the variety and everyone was happy with their dishes which were very tasty! read more

La tostada de seviche mixta está muy mala porque tiene pura verdura y nada de camarones o pezcado

Great authentic Mexican. Service was phenomenal, ambience was quite. The family had the meals, I had a la carte, tacos and a Verde chicken enchilada. The price was reasonable. A good rival to higher price competitors in Cameron Park. read more

Always delicous.. Great service and wonderful food. Friendly staff. Please support our neighborhood businesses. We will keep returning!

I have been wanting to try this place since it opened but just made it there today. My husband and I shared 5 tacos (steak, ground beef, shredded beef, shredded chicken) and a chicken burrito. All the food was really good, the only con I had was the slow service. read more

Incredible Salvadoran food here in Cameron Park! Lovely setting and very welcoming staff try it if you are in the neighborhood - not far off Hwy 50 We had a wonderful and relaxed meal that was super yummy! Their pupusas are soooo delicious. The artwork was beautiful as well. Their staff could not be more welcoming read more

Fernando's Costa Del Sol - Cheese pupusas for me plus Salvadoran cabbage - Mexican Near Me - Cameron Park, California

My mom and I love this place, they make really yummy veggie burritos and chile rellenos

Average at best. Most likely canned beans. Wanted to like it as it is local but can't say that I would go back.

Good service but when I got home, the rice was crunchy and the pupusas were undercooked.

I love their carnitas fajita taco salad. There are not too many restaurants that have really good carnitas, and they kill it!

Regretfully, I posted a 5 star review on September 4, 2023 that I now want to delete. I've almost always picked up my food to go and I know they run a little slow so I always add 10 minutes to whatever time they give me but today I decided to dine in...what a huge mistake. The service is atrocious and painfully slow beyond anything I've ever experienced anywhere else. There were no other customers dining and there were at least 3 employees in the kitchen. All I ordered was the lunch special and it shockingly took 30 minutes to be served a scrawny enchilada with luke warm watery beans on the plate. I've been a loyal customer for 5 years but I'll never return to Fernando's again, under any circumstances. read more

Consistently good Mexican food at a good value. My current favorite menu item is the chili rellano. My husband loves their enchiladas. It's a favorite with our family, friends, and neighbors. The service is good, and the ambiance is fine - it's nothing fancy, just the basics - but when the patio is open, it's a very pleasant place to be. read more

Ordered the whole fried Tilapia it was fried it was hot, no seasoning just a fried piece of fish , beans and rice ice cold could not eat them. Why would you serve cold rice and beans. I don't understand, people have no pride in their food, salsa was ok. No one in Nort read more

Divine food! Everything we ordered was delicious! We did takeout and that smooth and no issues. We will be back!

So good!!! Food is delicious and consistent -would come back anytime yum yum yum yum

The food is okay. The service is slow. It's like they are missing a manager or something. They made me wait an hour for a to-go order of taquitos. They had said it would be 15 minutes over the phone. I waited in their dining room for my food for 45 minutes. When I complained they offered a refund, but wanted the food back. So I wasted my time for nothing? That's not a refund. I'm not wasting my time again. Taqueria Tepa doesn't waste my time. And they have birria. read more

Excellent food always consistent! Even with the change of ownership, the food has always stayed the same. A hidden gem in Cameron Park.

The food is amazing here. The portion size is nice and full of flavor. Their horchata is delicious. The service never misses. It's a small place so it's not hard to keep an eye on customer needs. I recommend this place for some nice south of the border cuisine. read more

We get take out food here on average-at least - every 10 days with generally the same result - we are always full of great tasting food. We love the tacos (chicken and shrimp), super chicken burrito, chicken enchiladas, etc. If you are wondering... YES, I believe Fernando's has a new owner(s). Went in tonight, and couldn't tell anything has changed...YES, we found the food to have the same quality, flavors, and value that we have enjoyed for 15 years....YES, we will be back - almost every week to enjoy this restaurant's great food. read more

The food is good and the portions are very generous. The serving staff is delightful.. and the prices are very reasonable. I've heard the breakfast menu is really good too. Give it a try! read more

Omg so I did my homework. It is Salvadoran. So the pouposas (sp) are excellent. Lots is melty cheese and mild peppers. Homemade corn tortilla filled with melty lovely cheese. Like a Salvadoran grilled cheese sandwich . Lovely! Melty cheesy good with homemade salsa and slaw. For less than 4 bucks. Then I ordered a tamale of corn or lote. Sweer...like desert tamale with sour cream. So good. So sweet. Also less than 4 bucks. Ordered the homemade corn tortillas. Perfect. OK I live in Mexico. These were Perfect. This is my favorite restaurant up north here. Fresh real food. Great food. When visiting me m in El Dorado Hills I always go to. Great reasonably priced food for handcrafted Salvadoran cousine. Love it. Do not be put off by its humble local. Spectacular! read more

Really disappointing. We ordered to go papusa's they tasted old and greasy along with yucca con chicharones weird tasting cabbage salad. Was not a fan. I really thought this was going to be good food. Oh well. read more

We LOVE Fernando's - it's a local spot. They are quick and efficient consistent and friendly has a real authentic feel to it.. I love those chicken enchiladas, they are a house favorite. My daughter can't get enough of their rice and beans. read more

Food is pretty good. Salsa is good. I always get the shrimp enchiladas and they're consistently good. Ranch on the salads is super watered down (weird), but everything else is good. Service is a little slow but we don't go there when we are in a hurry so it's fine. Ambiance could be a little better. read more

I have eaten here for years there food and service are very consistent, and there happy hour is the best around, we are very fortunate to have this little family restaurant here in our town read more

Best Mexican Food in EDH and Cameron Park IMO. Clean, open feeling and great "CA Mexican" dishes. Carnitas and Verde!!! Lunch special cheaper than fast food. read more

Gosh waitress rushed us thru everything even though they are barely busy. Discrepancy on their menu. The new owner can say whatever she wants but look at the menu. It is clear. Just soo disappointed. Things are tough but if u don't want to honor your menu change it. So we were charged incorrectly. Called back the owner answered the phone and as she did when we were in the restaurant all she did was argue. We have gone to this place since it opened. No more. She is not a nice person and will rip U off. What a disappointment. Cannot support places like this. read more

Everything I've ever ordered has been delicious. I love the banana leaf tamal. Service is slow but not disturbingly so. Always addressed with a smile. I like that. read more

I adore this place and order to-go several times a month. I also bring friends and family here when they visit and they all agree that this place is wonderful. The people are friendly and the food is delicious. Never a complaint and never a mistake made in my orders. Highly recommend if you are looking for authentic Mexican food in the CP area! read more

I haven't been this disappointed with a meal in a long time. Some friends of ours gave us a 50.00 gift certificate to this place as a "thank you", and after eating here- I am starting to wonder if I still want them as friends (Hahaha). Nothing about the food or service is worth coming back for. In fact, the cheese papusa had to be the worst papusa I have ever tried. I ordered it for my son, tried a bite, and immediately realized that this restaurants yelp rating is over-inflated. For lunch, I opted for the carne asada and fries-which I swore came with rice and beans based off what the menu said. Instead, I was served a flavorless slab of tough meat with equally unimpressive frozen French fries on the side. Not even their delicious homemade corn tortillas could save this disaster of a lunch. Trust me on this one, do not order the "so called" carne asada - it is awful. I won't come back. There are plenty of other restaurants to order papusas from that are far better than this place. 5 star corn tortillas, and 1 star food equals an overall 2 star rating from me. read more

We had group of 11 people for a mid-day dinner. Everyone gave us their orders ahead of time, and we delivered our take-out orders to Fernandos around 1 pm. Fernando's was GREAT! All the orders were ready in a little over an hour. Each container was labeled with the person's name, and all the sides were included. The food was really good, as usual. We so appreciated Fernando's care and helpfulness, and they made our dinner a big success. We will definitely do that again if the need arises, and we will continue to do our usual to-go dinners from them for just the two of us. Thank you Fernando's!!! read more

Delicious, well-crafted, fresh food!! I love this restaurant and am so glad it is so close to my house. I often get a la carte items to go like shrimp tacos or enchiladas but I dine there when I have a friend to go with me. We always enjoy it. I think this is the best Mexican restaurant in the Placerville/Cameron Park area. read more

After a long trip we didn't want to cook dinner. Fernandos is right down the street from by best friends house so we placed an order for pick up. The food does take a little while for pick up however we ordered pork and cheese pupusas and chips and salsa. I love their salsa so naturally I order the biggest size. I imagine myself eating it like shots of tequila with their in house made chips as my chaser. The pupusas are authentic and tasty I have always gotten them perfectly hot and cheesy. Prices are reasonable- very family oriented as the culture allows. read more

The super burrito I ordered is HUGE! You definitely get your money's worth, but it is kinda lacking in flavor. The meat and rice was a bit bland, so it was okay. I also got the Salvadorian nachos, which are pretty much like supreme nachos. It has meat, cheese, guac, and a lot of toppings. Again, really big and filling but not much flavor. The meat was dry and bland. Same story with the cheese quesadilla. Overall, this place is okay buy I've had better. read more
