We were given chips and salsa and asked for our drink order (they serve Coke products and other bottled drinks) and given the menu. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. We ordered dinner.

The cheese sauce is fantastic! The portions are fair for the price. The restaurant was clean and Latin pop music played over the house system. A really bright and colorful mural is along one wall, a Frida Kahlo quote on another and the restaurant name on the other. We plan to return and hope to try breakfast another time.

My other friend got the Enchiladas Suizas--she said the pork on top was fall apart tender & delicious. Great margaritas! We went traditional, on the rocks with salt. Can't wait to go back-one person said it was the best Mexican good she'd ever hard& another said 'let's go here every dinner next time we come back for retreat'! Thank you, Don Felipe's!!!

It wasn't worth the drive as the chips to start were old and stale and the salsa was flavorless (had to add salt and hot sauce to make it palatable). They didn't mention they were out of the item I wanted which should have been a red flag as the replacement was not that good and also was lacking flavor for Mexican food. The worst fed chimi looked good and she said it was. The beers were cold and service was average. Based on the food, we wouldn't recommend it.

The restaurant itself is bright, colorful, clean, and really well designed. I loved the clever bench seating, the bar was well stocked, and there's outdoor seating plus an upstairs area that looked really cool. They also have a walk-up taco window outside, which is a fun idea. We sat in the bar area, and the service was amazing. Everyone was friendly and attentive. The food, though, was really underwhelming. Almost everything we tried lacked seasoning and flavor. I ordered the chicken enchiladas, which had very little chicken and were pretty bland. I did like the very thinly sliced jalapeños on top. The rice was nice and fluffy but didn't have much flavor, and they serve black beans, which just aren't my preference with Mexican food. The house-made salsa was surprisingly sweet, and I was disappointed that the chips didn't seem house-made. If I'm going out for Mexican food, fresh chips are one of those little things I really look forward to. My husband ordered tacos at $6 each, which felt pretty steep considering we're used to excellent tacos in the $2-$3 range. His carne asada was cooked closer to medium rare, which wasn't what we expected at all from carne asada. The queso was another disappointment. It tasted very similar to Rico's cheese sauce you can buy at the grocery store. Overall, great service, great decor, very clean and a fun atmosphere, but the food just didn't match the setting or the reviews for us. At these prices, I expected a lot more flavor. Unfortunately, we left pretty disappointed.
