Ferdinand's Mexican Restaurant

"This used to be a destination for us but boy has it changed. Food was not good at all. We actually didn't eat much of any of it after waiting almost 90mins with 4 small tables in restaurant. Waitstaff was not attentive at all to any of the tables in the restaurant. We didn't complain and left our server a great tip and decided that was our last visit."

"Food was really good but it seems like they need to hire more people! There was only one waitress and the owner was walking around talking instead of helping. Salsa was also HOT like the menu said and was amazing"

"The owner of ferdinand's is an incredible gift to the community, and the restaurant carries with it, the stories of her legendary life. My experience recently has simply been at the bar with a few choice items, and I continue to hope that there will be a fostering of spanish-speaking and Mexican culture locally in a way that continues to counteract some of the xenophobic and misogynistic narratives that I have regretfully come across while eating locally."

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ferdinand's Mexican Restaurant in downtown Escanaba, Michigan, and I have to say, I was blown away by the quality of the food and service. From start to finish, my experience was top-notch. The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and inviting, with beautiful decor that transports you to a traditional Mexican cantina. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome from the moment I walked in the door. Now, let's talk about the food. Oh my goodness, the food. I ordered a variety of dishes to share with my group, including the guacamole, queso fundido, and carnitas tacos. Everything was fresh and bursting with flavor. The portions were generous, and we all left feeling happily satisfied. The bar is well-stocked with a great selection of tequila and other Mexican spirits, and the margaritas were some of the best I've had. The prices are also quite reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and service. Overall, I highly recommend Ferdinand's Mexican Restaurant to anyone in the Escanaba area. Whether you're looking for a fun night out with friends or a romantic dinner for two, this place has it all. The food, service, and atmosphere are all top-notch, and I can't wait to come back and try more of their delicious menu items. Five stars all around!"

"I had the most wonderful dinner here! I have food allergies and the owner was incredibly kind and helped me make appropriate substitutions to avoid my allergies and then she spoke with us for a bit while we aired for our order- she’s so nice! I love the decor, the staff is incredible, and the food was delicious! My friend and I will absolutely be back. The prices were very reasonable, the food was excellent, and the margaritas were very tasty!"
