I have ordered both a chile Colorado and chile verde in a burrito from Felipe's for decades. The reason I mentioned it is that I saw other people in restaurant had ordered it and thought I'd change up my usual order of the colorado or verde open face with rice and beans. The man who took our order told he me couldn't possibly put chili verde into a burrito and he had this strange behavior that taking my family's order was the biggest burden on him since the housing market crash. He never once looked any of us in the eye and after pointing out that I'd eat whatever the customer behind us is having who proceeded to turn around in the booth and say "yeah, it's a chili colorado and chili verde burrito, I just ordered it clearly so I really don't understand why it would be an issue now." For the man to only keep staring at his pad of paper and firmly saying "we'll we just don't do that anymore" which got quite a reaction from the booth behind me. The man who took my order has probably worked at the restaurant since it opened and he used to be this extremely nice and jolly on top of recognizing all his regular customer's on first name basis. After moving back home and eating here twice, I've had the absolute worst experience and will go out of my way to avoid this restaurant until things turn around. If you think this is a joke then I will remind you that I remember when this restaurant was expanding and put a restaurant in the Bay Area which ended up causing a family conflict because the quality was so far from what people expected. On top of that, as much as I dislike what the place has become, no one else in this country can make chile verde or colorado like this restaurant. Just get the guy some help and give him a much needed vacation. My family and I were shocked at how much he had changed and how openly rude he acted to a basic request such as slapping verde into a tortilla with cheese. I did not realize requests are decided on a whim at this restaurant now. Or maybe it was the fact the family behind us was Mexican and my family is white. The woman who ordered and was eating what I had asked for seemed to think so and was nice enough to even get up and offer me one of her burritos. The man is going to drive off more customers the longer you refuse to acknowledge you have a cancerous employee within your ranks who seems like the manager mind you, which will trickle down sooner than later. I could care less about the racism, karma works wonders on a racist person's life and its not worth getting mad about it because all it does is give more power to men like him.

Best of luck to ya, you'll need it with that guy running the show.

Felipe’s: We only serve things on the menu if we feel like it. You wonder why all your og customers go to Lorenzo’s now. You can’t up your prices and shrink your portions then go on like no one will notice. For the same price here, you’d be better off at Lorenzo’s. They do everything the same but leaps and bounds better and without the strange treatment because you don’t have the same skin color as the employees. I plan on throwing a party when you finally go out of business. Keep on alienating life long customers. All your 1-2 start reviews say nearly the exact same thing as I have. Karma is fickle and she was always collects her due.

Wow now you’re actually posting fake reviews? Going from 3.5 stars to 4.5 stars within a few minutes? You can’t fake your crappy food. That’s the truth. All these 5 star reviews with no responses at all are clearly your attempt to hide your fall from grace. The locals all know to avoid this place from now on. Good luck surviving on weekend warriors. Lord knows you’ll get no luck from him.

Good food reasonable prices. Had the Quesadilla with pork, rice and beans. Large flour tortilla, lots of cheese and pork. Need to cut back on the chips and salsa next time. Good value for the money. Service is friendly and good for a busy place. Food service is quick too. Plenty of parking and the restroom are clean. Looks like you can count on a square meal when you come. Will have to make this a weekly visit.

This place is a classic, I've been going here since I was a kid. My favorites are the beef tacos and the chinichanga. The chips and salsa are always excellent as well.

We received a friendly greeting and were seated quickly, even without a reservation. Endless chips and salsa were a hit. Servers were also friendly and quick to bring drinks and take orders. The food arrived in a timely manner and was exactly what we ordered. Everything was delicious! I have returned many times since my first visit, ordered different dishes, and the food and experiences have all been consistently great. I have brought several friends here who have all loved it. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Always a great meal to be found in here. I have been coming here for 20 plus years and believe they have the very best chips and salsa i have evere eaten. I've eaten everything on their menu and there is nothing that's disappointing. It's been family owned four more years and I'm aware of and the sun just bought it from the parents. The food is consistently good and they're super nachos are famous. I have to go up there on a Sunday in order the menudo. I would highly recommend to anyone that is looking for some unique Mexican food that is a little different than the average place to give this one a try. Tonight service was on point the food was great the service was immediate and the wait staff was super friendly and tentative
