The owners of Casa Fernandez have decided to retire. They have sold their popular Mexican restaurant to the owners of Sonora Mariscos, the same people who own the Carneceria on LH Blvd. Casa Fernandez was very good and this buy out by Sonora Mariscos may make it even better.

Damn! Next to my grandma's menudo, I thought Casa Fernandez's was pretty damn good. I always looked forward to it when I was hung over out there.

They already have a restaurant up on Kiowa and Avalon. Been there about 5 years and a good hole in the wall joint.
Is that the place next to the drive thru store/gas station/car wash. :p

Yes, the place way up on Kiowa has always been good. Their dollar street tacos on Monday and Weds kick ass.

Casa Fernandez is terrible.. I have always read how people like it on here.. I have tried it three or four times and have never had anything good there.

The carniceria makes great food so I'm sure it will be an improvement.

just my 2 cents..................We have been eating there for 10 years +/-

The place was pretty good until a few years ago, then it seem to go down hill somewhat. Maybe they lost there gusto / heart.


Good luck to the new owners.

Casa Fernandez has consistently gone down hill for the past several years,The Taco shop next to Kiowa drive through is always good and if they bought Casa Fernandez the place will be packed!

We ate there last night. Food was very good, wife's margarita was excellent, and very reasonably priced. However my stomach has been doing summersaults all day[emoji15]

Now this could possibly be, due to the after dinner cocktails (and not Sonora Taco's) at 2FF's house that were mixed rather liberally... I was feeling no pain when the wife made me leave [emoji51].

I'll have to try it again before I make a SOLID conclusion [emoji4]

What did you order down there that cost as much as those places?

I had the Shrimp Enchilada and one of the apps. Wife had a tostado. $72 bucks with the 20% tip.

New menu and their prices did go up a bit since Kiowa. We like it and have been back 3 times. They still do the $1 street tacos on Mon & Weds. Full selection, not just beef or chicken. Hard to beat.

I was never impressed. Shitty service and ok food. I had heard that the family has won the lotto many years ago and then opened the restaurant.

Damn!! That doesn't sound right? We are there as a whole family with two beers and were out for 43?
