Fernandez Family Restaurant

In the age of fast food, Fernandez Family Restaurant is a testament to the virtues of slow cooking, and a place where you can see the food you're about to order—the sweating chicken and pulled pork, the yellow rice and beans, the tender fried plantains. In its easygoing way, it combines the appeal of an ethnic eatery where you can hear people chatting in Spanish and of a friendly restaurant that's comfortable for anyone who drops in.
