| - I stopped at Fernando's during lunch time on a Friday. It was bustling like many of the places downtown during lunch. There was a line like expected, but it moved very efficiently and the people behind the counter were direct, but not in any way rude. They ask if you want all the normal toppings in a nice way and didn't seem to mind many people not wanting different toppings. The place was tidy and what'd you expect out of a sandwich shop.
Now the food. They have a daily lunch specials that make a sandwich a "meal" by adding a fountain drink and a bag of Herr's chips. I ordered the Sante Fe Steak Taco wrap and allowed them to put everything on it that they normally do -- tomatoes, black olives, mild peppers, lettuce, steak, and cheese. Next time I think I will opt for jalapenos. The wrap was toasted, but was really soggy and did not end up looking anything like the pictured wrap, man that pictured wrap looked so toasty and delicious. My wrap was good don't get me wrong, but I was hoping for more. It was a good size for a good price and they throw in any dipping sauce you want, I got their house Southwestern. I really liked what I saw from the subs coming out for other people, so I will go to Fernando's again soon and grab a sub. Maybe I'll even update update my rating.
Again it's losing stars only for the sogginess. Go check out Fernando's to replace your Subway or Jimmy John's sub.
***Edit***
Ordered the Bacon Beef and Cheddar toasted sub. It was good, but again just not great. I still prefer Fernando's over DiBellas, Jimmy Johns, and Subway as far as sub places downtown. It just falls short when stacked up against other sub places.
