5 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near Derby

“We have been going to the Las Vaquitas Mexican Restaurant since Caesar and Connie recruited their family and opened their doors to Derby residents. It’s rare to find a place where the owners are in the kitchen and on the floor making sure every guest feels welcome. The food is incredible and service is professional and friendly. I thought the idea of covering the check of a few of their patrons was a sweet holiday idea. When it happened to us, we were incredibly grateful. Huge thanks to the entire staff for showing their appreciation to a couple of regular customers. Please support this LOCAL restaurant, you will not be disappointed!!!“

“By far the best Mexican dinner I've ever had“

“Felipe’s Jr. is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Wichita and definitely one of my regular go-to spots. It’s family-owned, consistently good, and they’ve got a huge menu with plenty of excellent options.

I’ve tried a lot of different things here over the years. The carnitas are outstanding, the birria tacos are excellent, and the Monterrey's are another favorite. Most of the time, though, I go with the beef enchiladas smothered in chili con carne along with whole beans. Their chili con carne is especially good, and both the whole beans and charro beans are excellent.

The restaurant is spacious, clean, well maintained, and the service has always been friendly and efficient. It’s also very family-friendly, with plenty of room, a kids’ menu, and easy parking.

If you’re looking for consistently great Mexican food, generous choices, and a comfortable family-run restaurant, Felipe’s Jr. is absolutely worth a visit. Five stars from me.“
