Twice now the chicken in my burrito was pink and chewy. Only happened twice out of maybe twenty visits. But happens enough that I'm gonna stop eating there.

Always genuinely amazing food. Tortas are the best I've ever had. I think they pan fry the bread with cheese to get this really crispy, savory cheese layer on it. It's so good. Employees are always super nice and efficient too. Best prices in town as well. 11/10 I've brought every friend who's visited me to this truck.

I was in the middle of ordering food when they interrupted me to address another customer. I was there first. I left immediately after.

Great Tacos! The best service! Definitely recommend. I've had the Turkey Quesadilla once a week all summer. 10/10 recommend.

I went there last weekend after a night out to go get an elote. It was $3. However, I checked my back account days later and saw that they charged me $6. It wasn’t a big deal, only 3 dollar difference. I left it at that & did not do or say anything at the moment. I went back tonight after a night out to get an elote. I paid the 3 dollars like usual. Since I was there I decided to give the worker a heads up that last time they had charged me more. I did it as a heads up to be more cautious with other clients, I was smiling & relaxed as I said this. The employees demeanor changed & instantly was aggressive, saying in Spanish “honey, your money is leftovers to me. I don’t need your money. Are you sure it was me? It doesn’t matter because I don’t need your money. Here’s your money back. Take your money, I don’t need this money.” While doing this he was aggressively laughing & kept talking over me & getting louder. He kept on trying to shove the money back at me while I repeated “no no no, that isnt what I wanted. I wanted to just give you guys a heads up” He finally gave up trying to shove the money in my hand & opted to put it in the elote bag & shoved it in my hand as he closed the little door in face as I kept saying “I just wanted to give you a heads up.” All the kitchen guys were behind him as he closed the door in my face while I was still speaking.

I ordered steak tacos, the tacos were very dry with a weird texture couldn’t even chew it, it wasn’t seasoned at all… very disappointing because I had them before…

I just moved to Champaign in August and I'm excited to try all of the local spots! Last night I got to start with Fernando's. I'm especially fond of food trucks as my mom and I started our own in 2019 (she's still running it out of state). The guy that took my order was very polite and helpful. I was a little thrown off when he said they don't serve rice and beans- a staple at most Mexican food trucks. He reassured me that the burrito was still a good size and he wasn't wrong! I've only had one other food truck before that didn't include beans and rice in their burritos and it was MUCH smaller than the one here. I will say I'm impressed by the pricing based on how much is in the burrito but I do think rice and beans would be an improvement. They act almost as a caking agent and bind all the other ingredients together to form a more solid burrito and provide a little more sustenance. The flavor was good although the meat (Pastor) could've used a little more seasoning and the texture wasn't my favorite. I would prefer if it was shredded instead of leaving it chopped. The hot sauces were GREAT! Overall the ingredients tasted fresh and I enjoyed my food. I hate to harp over something as simple as rice and beans but if I ordered here again I would make some and add them to the burrito myself I would've also loved some avocado or guacamole but that's a song for another time!

Fernando’s is my favorite of all the Mexican food trucks in Champaign. Through talking to the owner and tasting the food, you can tell there was intention in the way it was prepared. I really like their Torta Al Pastor, but the Tacos are good too! The ingredients taste like they are good quality and they all complement one another. Even the salsas are great, I highly recommend trying both of them. I wish they had more selection of the different Mexican styles of meat - because I know they would do them justice.Overall I’d give it a 4.8/5 - super delicious. The only thing holding it back from perfection is: I’d like it if the meat was slightly more tender. (Granted, what I’m looking for is probably hard to do for a food truck… so not that big of a deal)
I ordered the Nachos and 3 steak tacos. I had it delivered via Uber Eats. And everything was really delicious. The only thing is I requested sauces. And they didn't put them in the bag. But..everything was really good.
