Great place! We unintentionally went in only 10 minutes before they closed (5:30 on a Friday night) but Felipe was happy to serve us anyways. We had chips and guacamole (also came with salsa), horchata, limeade, shrimp tacos and fish tacos. Everything was delicious and came out in a timely fashion. Thanks Felipe! We'll be back!

Just went and had lunch at Felipe's Tacos and found a couple of black hairs in our enchiladas and the food was below par .... Lukewarm beans and rice and enchiladas the lettuce on the plate was old and brown and fermented it tasted awful I've eaten here before many times, but this is the worst food I've ever had at Felipe's and then to find the hairs in the enchiladas!!!! We will never go back it was disgusting and they didn't even offer to make it right!!! Also I ordered a breakfast torta and I got some sandwich on Bollilo bread!!!

The food is edible but quite bland. It reminded us of Moes (the chain). The salsa bar was a mess with some toppings all over and some bowls empty. The fish tacos were bland and so watery they fell apart. The green salsa labeled hot was not hot. The taco combo was mediocre. The side salad was shredded iceberg lettuce with chopped tomatoes. The beans tasted as though they came out of a can. I give it two stars because the limeade is very good. While not terrible I would not go ever again.

Fresh cheap and no nonsense. My husband used to hit this place up in college and they had a salsa bar at that time. No longer! It's okay, get a classic burrito and get red and green on the side. Utilitarian New Mexican at its finest.

The limeade---amazing. The poco---delicious. Everything else was really bad. My taco meat was inedible in my opinion. Chips were store bought. Seems like they do a few things well and the rest is really not very good.

I felt very welcome here, nice people. Yummy tostadas, rice & beans, limeade is perfect, tasty salsas. Have been looking for a straight up Mexican taqueria, this is the place.

Felipe's Tacos are the only business (not including fast food) in town where you can still get a good lunch for under $10. Fresh, fast and delicious with a salsa bar. I love the fresh limeade and soft tacos.

They have the best burritos in Santa Fe. Their pico de gallo is phenomenal as well as their horchata. The pricing is great for all the good tasting food you get. I would recommend anyone local or tourist that hasn't been to Felipe's Tacos, check it out. It has been around such a long time and one of the few places in Santa Fe that is consistently good year after year.

Best burritos I've had in Santa Fe. Felipe is always very nice and offers suggestions and tells you what's new on the menu. The salsa verde is great. The chorizo breakfast burrito is fantastic. Quality homemade food without the typical Santa Fe price. I always take visitors here over a tourist trap like Tomasita's.

Felipe's Tacos serves the best vegetarian burrito I've had. Huge avocado chunks, delicious proportions of ingredients, and a chili and toppings bar for full customization to your heart's content. Also, if you're leaning toward something on the breakfast menu and it's not breakfast time anymore, Felipe may simply ask you, "What do you /want/?" To which your answer might be a chorizo and egg burrito; but if that's what you want, that's what you'll have. Thanks, Felipe!

Felipe the Burrito Nazi. The burritos are good but that's it. The women who work the register make you feel like they are doing you some kind of humongous favor by taking your order and all you can do is kinda laugh at their white eye liner. The salsa bar is kinda gross, but I know it's fresh so I still eat it most of the time. The line can often be out the door because it's on the cheaper side, on the faster (still not fast, faster) side and centrally located on St Mikes. I'm never yearning for a Felipe burrito, but if someone wants to meet me there I will not complain.

Not a fancy place, still they offer service with a smile + delicious and inexpensive Mexican fare. Good veggie options too... 4 thumbs up!

I needed some tacos, but I also needed something healthy. Where to go? Felipe's of course. This place couldn't survive but for the food. It's in a non-descript strip mall, almost hidden from view off of St. Mike's on Llano St. They hardly advertise and are only open for breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday from 9am-4:30pm(as of 2/1/08) I walk in and place my order at the counter. The #1 Pollo Asado combo. The Pollo being charbroiled, skinless and marinated accompanied by rice, beans and salad. I place my plate down at my table and head to the fresh salsa cart. Time to eat. My fellow diners were a Sikh lady and a scruffy, bundled up old gent. This was right at closing time, otherwise it would have been packed. This is obviously a locals joint. It is also good for vegetarians, or so say the Sikh.

Great burritos at a great price. The salsa bar was clean and fresh, and the staff was super friendly.. A fun little place tucked into a cozy corner. We will def be back to try something else off the menu.

The quesadillas are awesome, I know that is one of the easiest things to make at home, but these guys perfected them.

While certainly not the best when it comes to stand-alone pseudo-taco trucks in this city, the food is actually good and incredibly inexpensive. You can get a chicken taco or two and a bean burrito for roughly $5 and the limeade that they have is really good (and you can get refills if needed). The lunch line can mean up to a ten minute wait and a few of the order people have a dubious grasp of the English language, but that's just a side issue. The food itself doesn't hit the same tier as a burrito or meal in the lower west coast region of the USA, but the prices rock. And if you manage to get Felipe to take your order in person, he's open to throwing you an extra bit of salsa on your burrito if you come by there all the time (IE. This is definately a true "Locals" restaurant. Not the greatest restaurant in town, but definately one of the most inexpensive with a decent bang for your buck.,

Felipe's: we went there after tennis one day last year, on the recommendation of a friend. The front door was propped open, and the place was so full of big, black flies that when the counter person handed me our food, it actually had flies on it. She had no reaction when I pointed them out to her. I know they don't mind eating fly-infested food where she comes from, but hey, Felipe--get sanitary, will you? The corn tortillas were nearly raw, and had the texture of cardboard. The condiment serving area was an absolute pig sty, so I couldn't take the usual chiles for the food, which we left uneaten. The whole visit was a battle with flies. I cannot recommend Felipe's Tacos, because the flies wouldn't let me eat one!

I always get the quesadilla (no carne) and smother it with all the different salsas. It is one of the best things to eat in the world. I get it with a limeade. I don't even bother to order anything else there. My only problem with the place is they seem to be closed frequently when I am in Santa Fe.

This was a favorite of mine in high school, and unlike a lot of the goodies around town that have gone away or become crap, Felipe's hasn't changed much - at all - since then. When working over the summers in college, I stopped there nearly every time an errand took me past. It is just a hole in the wall, so don't expect tourist service, but it is cheap and the salsa bar is fantastic (not sure how a clean fresh salsa bar gets described badly, but whatever, without it, they are just tacos and burritos!). I always stuck to a steak or no carne burrito, slathered with the green chile sauce, pico and fresh cilantro from the salsa bar, with a horchata (limeade is also a good way to go). Just had to write this review at lunchtime, wish I didn't live 2000 miles away right now, grrrr. I go back nearly every time I am back in SF.

Love Felipe's! Fresh food, great chips, I enjoy a rice, bean and cheese burrito, reasonable price. Quesadillas overpriced. I eat what I like and it makes me happy.

my friends and I would sneak off campus in high school just to drive here and get lunch. it is AMAZING. there is no bad dish on the menu and felipe himself is super chill. The #2 with chicken is what got me through countless nights after practice during the week and served as dinner at least once a week for about 4 years. the pico there at the salsa bar is amazing, as is the limeade, and the quesadillas they make. it isn't expensive and it's delicious. go felipes.

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
