Fresh pressed tortilla, loaded with meat and whatever toppings this steak and chicken burrito was top tier a d then they finish it off on the griddle for a nice char on both sides! Would definitely recommend looking forward to going again. Also didn’t know there were three restaurant options (a fried chicken and a Mediterranean hummus restaurant) at the one on University Ave so it really can be a one stop shop for a variety.

The vegan chorizo was tasty, and there are all the ingredient choices you look for in this type of place. Tasty and filling.

Fresh pressed tortillas!!!!! Need I say more? The ingredients, including meat, are freshly made, and you can taste the difference. I definitely would choose this over the competition

Went here during Drake Relays. I had a burrito with chips and salsa. It was so good! Very filling! Reminded me of pancheros and/or Chipotle style when you make your burrito. The burritos are smaller than pancheros though.

It was okay. The food was tired (had been out awhile) and supply was thin (they were out of multiple items). The dining room was kind of dirty and they had WWE playing on the TVs.

Truly the best burrito in Des Moines. Everything is made fresh daily from local ingredients. The atmosphere is great and owner is friendly and funny while he cooks your food. Great selection and good prices. The chili relano is probably the best I’ve ever had

Fernandos is always a great place to get excellent food. My personal favorite is the Cajun chicken tenders, which now puts canes to shame

Food is a little expensive. Home made tortillas is a plus. Employees not friendly at all.

It was my first experience at Fernando’s today and it was great! There was a line as it was lunch time but they kept the line moving quickly. We didnt have to wait long. They fixed our burritos exactly as we asked amd they were hot and fresh. They are good size burritos so I felt the pricing was fair. I will definitely return to Fernando’s and would recommend to others as well.

Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Building was clean and new. Cashier was very friendly and helped me choose the best meal for my family. I’d say head on down the chicken strips are phenomenal
