This restaurant is located in the heart of what is downtown Yuba City and serves up a really diverse menu. The staff here is super friendly. The inside of the restaurant is brick with high ceilings which gives it a really cool vibe. I'd been wanting to try their food for some time now and it surpassed my expectations in every way. We started with chips and salsa. They weren't complimentary but I suggest ordering them as the chips are thick and crunchy, the pico is piled high with great flavors. My girlfriend, her mother and I looked over the menu. The pasta here stood out to me as I had seen pics on Yelp. They both decided to go with the carnitas plate. Once the food arrived I was impressed by the huge portions, every plate was filled to the edge. My pasta came with two big slices of garlic bread which although really good was strong with garlic flavor, I liked it but my lady was taken back by it a bit. The pasta itself was amazing, the Portuguese pasta comes with linguica, chicken and shrimp as the proteins. So many deep flavors on this dish it will be hard to go back and order anything else! This was one of the best dishes I've had at a restaurant in a long time. This restaurant deserves your visit if you can make the trip, you won't be disappointed. I plan on trying more of their pasta and also the calamari. The chef and kitchen here take dishes to new heights and I can't wait to visit again.

Five stars for the food all the way! I'm only docking one star because they literally, and I'm not exaggerating, have gotten every single order wrong. They just don't pay attention to the details and if you ask for something to be left off, they don't do that. So if they just try harder to customize orders appropriately, I would give them 10 stars. The burritos are incredible, the pasta was very good, although very very garlicky, I highly recommend this place.

Oh my word! This place was heavenly! While visiting my momma in Cali this weekend we wanted to have some lunch before I toodled back home to Reno. My first and her second. It was beyonddd Amazing! Three appetizers and two meals later. Absolutely everything was incredible! The classic and mango margarita...Sooo good ! The waitress knew the menu very well so it was helpful to us deciding what to order. It's very chill inside also. It was very peaceful! Over all absolutely amazing! 10/10!

First time checking this place out. It is small and casual inside with about ten tables in multiple rooms. We started with the honey chicken crisps. I was expecting some heavily deep fried chicken strips - what we got was some lightly breaded, handcut chicken pieces. The sauce was very nice, and you could definitely taste the honey - we wished it had been a bit more spicy. I would come back for the chicken. I also got the Cali burrito, which was good but lacked texture. I appreciate the smooth beans, but the fries were so soft that they were like mashed potatoes. The carnitas were good inside and provided the only bit of texture. I wish the outsode of the burrito would have been grilled or the fries were crispy. I did ask for some hot sauce because it was definitely missing some sort of salsa (I thought it came with Pico, but there was none in there). The man got the wet burrito that he added shrimp and steak. His burrito had rice also inside and had a really good Chipotle mayo sauce on top. His burrito was like a 9/10. There are a lot of menu items, including many seafood options, pastas, soups, and even jambalaya. Staff was friendly enough more like take your order and check in once in a while - no small talk. I guess if you want chips and salsa you have to ask for it - we were not offered but we heard another guest ask for them and they were brought out (may have been an extra charge?). Overall, it was a decent meal, and I will come back to check out the other options. Prices definitely vary from $10-$30, and there was no separate lunch menu.

Good lunch spot in downtown Yuba City. I will start with the positives... the location is great and there is a cool vibe to the area around the spot. Fernando's is in an old brick building and has a homey feel to it. The menu is eclectic with a mix of Italian and Mexican influences as well as some quintessential California favorites like the tri-tip sandwich. All of the food was good and I especially enjoyed the shrimp scampi pasta. For the not so good, our service was a little disjointed and slow. We also struggled to keep our glasses refilled but not the end of the world. At the very end it took forever to get out check and then we had to walk to the front to finally pay so we could get out the door. Again not the end of the world but could have been better. Overall, food is legit so definitely worth stopping in and giving it a try!
