    Consistent great food! The Ferndale crew is working really hard to make sure that they do it right, and they're very kind. As far as setting goes this location is absolutely gorgeous for fast food. Kind of bougie and incredibly clean... Probably my favorite taco time around...

    Being from Texas, I have unrealistically high expectations for tacos and for Tex-Mex in general. When I read that the tacos had ranch dressing on them, I almost ran out the door. I ordered a beef taco with no ranch and asked for a side of salsa, guacamole and chips. Holy moly the guacamole was awesome! It's bright and fresh and they don't skimp on the quanity. They also make the taco, burrito sized! I loved the flavor of the ground beef. Mixed with the lettuce and tomato, it transported me back to childhood, when we had build your own taco salads nights. It is pricey, but of course it's the west coast where everything is ridiculous.

    Best fast food in Ferndale. Food is always fresh and made quickly. Staff is always friendly and attentive. I have gotten several large to go dinner orders for the family and to date there have been zero mistakes on my orders ( and my ordering can be like Sally from the movie "When Harry met Sally"). Some of my favorites are the Guacamole and chips. And the beef crisp burrito. With the guacamole and chips you get a bag of chips and a little under 1 Cup of guacamole. Guacamole is fresh and tastes homemade. The crisp burrito is about 2" thick and 8-10" long. A flour tortilla filled with ground beef and deep fried. Similar to a huge taquito. They are delicious. Also to note this Taco Time North West Fresh is immaculately clean It may be the cleanest fast food restaurant I have ever been into. So all you germaphobes can feel safe eating here ( open kitchen too). Do yourself a favor and try them out. ************************************************* If you like this review, please give it a thumbs up. comment and follow me for more epic reviews. Happy Adventuring ; )

    This is by far the fanciest Taco Time I've ever been to, digital menu boards, glass that lets you see into the kitchen, and a fire place for those rainy days make this one a step above the rest. All the staff we talked to was super friendly and they even brought the food to our table. The food was all hot and fresh and I love that they have compostable wraps, containers, and utensils here. We stopped here because I can't easily get it where I live and I was expecting it to be like the one closest to me, which is still quite a drive, with the 90s vibe and typical fast food employees but I'm very impressed. I would definitely return and recommend if I lived in this area.

Walked in as a complete newbie off the street and she took my order and let me pay $20 for 2 tamales/2 sides when I could have had 2 tamales/ 3 sides for $14 on special. I asked her after why she didn't say anything and she told me to look at the menu closer, that I didn't have "common sense". I mean dudddde, I was looking up at the menu, the special was on paper on the counter. Would it be so difficult to anticipate I'd like to pay significantly less for more? Like WT...I was completely shocked when she said she WAS the manager.

(I did not understand that 'avocado cilantro lime' is the dressing, not the ingredients of the salad.) My husband uncreatively copied my order, only with a single change - he had one of his Tamales "wet" (with a green sauce). Since my husband asked for one of his "wet", neither came wrapped in the traditional banana leaf. (Both of mine were wrapped together in one leaf, so that might explain it - they get treated as a pair.) Oddly, though he asked for green sauce, there was only a white sauce visible. Though the container was filled with a sauce, too, which probably was the green sauce. He said it had a "touch" of heat, but not enough to really make a difference. I'm not that familiar with tamales, but I did enjoy these. We both would have enjoyed some sort of actual hot sauce, but even without it, these were quite tasty.

Normally, I would expect the cashier to ask a caller to wait until our transaction was complete. I handed her my credit card and my burrito punch card to record my purchase. She handed back my credit card and the beeper. When my order was ready, she walked the bag over to me. When I got to my car, I noticed I didn't have my punch card, so I went back in and asked for it. The cashier began to argue with me that she had given the card back, but I said I didn't have it. I asked her for a new card, she still argued. Then she grabbed a new card and punched it once and tossed it down. I told her it had 5 punches on it and she begrudgingly punched it 4 more times. Let me clarify that this is my third punch card with this restaurant, and the card is full with 10 punches. I'm have literally spent hundreds of dollars here. But I will not tolerate good food with crappy customer service. Ok, end of rant!

    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 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.

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.

Wish they had some live music or a juke box but maybe they do and we were too busy talking and playing pool to notice or dance. Can't wait to go back for another fun night.
