Ferny's Mexican Grill - Santee

I have driven by this place several times when I visited town. And finally decided to give in to my cravings. The food was tasty and hit the spot!

Didn't go for the atmosphere but went for the food. I had carne asada nachos and my son had carne asada fries. The meat was tasty and tender with both dishes. There was a lot of food so well worth the . We both had half order. They do put jalapenos on it so if you don't want that tell them to keep it off

I have never been disappointed with the food here. I have tried out a lot of different items on the menu and every single one has been great

Ordered for the first time a while ago based off of a friends recommendation and was surprised at how good the food was! I've lived in east county my whole life and definitely will be going back!

Clarification: I dont like giving 1, 2 or 3 star reviews but id give them a 3 in reality. I have a side business of my own and prefer to give them their flowers while giving them my true opinion so they can improve. So I'm pretty disappointed with this place. The food is amazing but I swear, EVERY SINGLE TIME, something is wrong with the order. If it's not the cooks ruining a burrito by adding items to a burrito that doesn't have said item listed on the menu, it's issues with the cashiers. They close an order before I can enter my rewards info for the points. They're stingy with hot sauce and flat out deny you or give you nasty looks. Worst part, my friend (fernys didn't know this) was shoveling extra hot sauce into his bag. I called the cashier out and she looked like she saw a ghost... God forbid you tip them and they still find a way to make you shake your head. It's either a lack of genuine care for the people keeping them in business or they may be a little slow. Shout out to the one cashier who is ALWAYS fulfilling orders correctly and is genuinely nice is the female cashier who has been there for years, shes on the plus size. I forget her name, but you probably know who I'm talking about if you've been coming here for awhile. Either way, i know you don't care about one person's opinion in the grand scheme of things, but yall need to work on your people skills if you're going to work in the service industry. It's not like I ever hassled any of you or treated you unfairly.
