Casual cantina for made-to-order Mexican food & Latin cocktails
"This locally owned multi-location taqueria is known as much for its community outreach as its small-batch, made-from-scratch Mexican cuisine and hand-squeezed key lime margaritas. Felipe’s, consistently named a top Mexican eatery in town, pays homage to traditional nachos and burritos, while also offering lighter options like the vegan veggie bowl. The make it your way option lets diners swap out proteins, sauces, and tortillas, as they please." - Beth D’Addono
"Fuel up at the French Quarter location of Felipe’s with signature tacos, burritos, and potent margaritas. Order from the satellite bar for margaritas to go or take a break from the madness and dine in. Try a caramelized pork al pastor taco, bright with notes of pineapple and gaujillo chile, also available in a bowl." - Beth D’Addono
"This causal cantina may not win any awards for traditional Mexican food but a piled plate of Felipe’s nachos sure fills the belly. Tables available or pull up a stool at the bar. Note: those suddenly finding themselves in need of umbrella drinks should head upstairs to the perennially cool and dimly lit Tiki Tolteca." - Allison Alsup
"Felipe’s Taqueria, arguably New Orleans’ best Mexican food chain, has reportedly fired multiple employees across its restaurants who couldn’t provide proper legal documentation following a federal immigration investigation. After the investigations arm of ICE, Homeland Security Investigations, conducted an audit of employee files and flagged a number as potentially fraudulent, the chain allegedly gave the employees an opportunity to provide appropriate documentation, firing those unable to do so. Additionally, The Advocate reported on a text message sent out via social media alleging that Felipe’s waited until last Wednesday to alert those staffers flagged, because they thought doing so before Mardi Gras “would leave them short-handed.” The message claims the company fired 10 people and hired a “whole new batch.” In response, a restaurant spokesperson countered that some employees resigned and others later stopped reporting to work after being given five days. With locations in the French Quarter, Uptown, and Mid City, the fast-casual Felipe’s has become a popular spot for margaritas and affordable, customizable cantina food. It was co-founded by a man from the Mexican state of Oaxaca, who opened his first Felipe’s in Cambridge, Massachusetts, following up with the Uptown New Orleans location in 2006." - Clair Lorell
