Felipito’s Mexican Food

Keep on driving this place has gone way down hill
It’s been awhile since I was here and I’ll never be back

Don’t expect a fine dining experience, but for a good taco with a lot of crunch, I really enjoyed my chicken tacos. Hubby had beef tacos. Salsa and chili Verde have a little heat, but they were good. 4 tacos and a bottle of water was $ 7.60. Nice late lunch, will hold us over til dinner.

Go. Here. Delicious breakfast burritos. And they are HUGE! Two people should split one. We also got chips and guacamole. I was skeptical at first sight, the chips had grated melted cheese and then guacamole spread over them and the guac was more of the creamy variety with no veggies. But they were also really tasty. The chips themselves were great. And pretty cheap — two huge burritos, chips and guac, two medium sodas all for $ 17 (before tip)!

I’ve been comeing to this place for years… and i always get the california carne asada burrito. For me thats the best burrito in las vegas. I have never been dissapointed with it.

I am not sure what all the fuss is about. Mediocre Mexican served out of a run down drive through with some concrete outdoor tables. Eating out of Styrofoam containers with plastic forks just bugs me in general. How is it that the whole rest of the world finds a way to wash dishes and serve salsa in squeeze bottles, but American restaurants are intent on filling up the landfill with disposable plates and little salsa cups and crap?
I ordered the green enchiladas, and they were way too hot for me. Others complain of bland, but the salsa verde is way hot. The food was okay, and if you want a quick cheap dinner, this might be the place. And if they took a garden hose to the dining area, bought a dishwasher and some plastic plates, and scraped the peeling paint, I might even be charmed into coming back.

I read people’s complaints about bland food, and I get it. You ordered a bean burrito. It’s not a big surprise that you think plain refried beans and handmade tortilla are bland, because, well, those are bland foods. Try ordering their super nachos next time — a take out box filled to the brim with corn chips, Carne Asada Steak (or shredded beef, or chicken, or whatever you want), smothered in cheese, sour cream, guacamole, pico de gallo — and add sauces as you choose. You’ll find there’s more than enough flavor there.
This place is basically a walk up to order, 24-​hour mexican food stand, but it also has a drive through, which is nice for hot/​lazy/​take home days. It’s labeled as cheap, and it is; so you can’t go there expecting to get Michelin star service then rail on it on Unilocal because it sucked. That’s like going to McDonalds and getting pissed off your food and service wasn’t at the same level as Gordon Ramsey’s Burgr. If you go there knowing it’s kind of a hole in the wall, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find the service and food are above par.
I live about a block away from this place, and I love it. It’s open 24 hours, so it’s great for that 3 am drunk food binge. They always always always load you up with sauces, pickled carrots/​peppers, and pico de gallo, and they’re always friendly. The food is freshly made, and there’s no extra charge for guacamole on your tacos.
That’s a pretty stellar deal if you ask me. Hands down, my favorite mexican «fast» food place in vegas.

It’s a great spot to come after hours and eat. It’s open 24 hours. It was sketchy at first bc of the area, but the food was good and no one bother us. I ordered a ham torta and they used real ham not lunch meat. My BF got a breakfast burrito and has good chucks of bacon, real bacon. The only thing is the dining outside area was messy/​dirty, but it is outside, so how much can they do?

Tired of the grub in the casino’s, this breakfast burrito hit the spot!

No starts for this mexican food so far selling dirty meat so bad i never had this kind of food in my life so far so please be care about it and also so bad Service

The food is OKAY. Edible but bland. Not sure I’ll be returning.
The food has potential. They need to definitely bump up the flavors. The hot sauces are watered down so it didn’t help with their food.

I’m not sure what everyone else has eaten at this place, but this is probably the blandest, coldest, tasteless excuse for a burrito I’ve ever had ANYWHERE.
Went on April 11^th, 2015 at 11am, and there were a couple of people ahead.
I liked the fact I sat outside, but the overflowing garbage cans were kind of a turn off.
ONE salsa cup for an entire beef burrito, and I wished I had one for EVERY BITE of the flavorless cardboard-​like food I tasted.
I gave up halfway through and tosswed it — sort of — into the overflowing trashcan and left.
Do yourself a favor and AVOID THIS PLACE!!! It sucked, through and through.

24 hr Mexican love it! Fresh horchata and other fresh juices. Food is freshly made too.

Kool spot by the crib open 24 hours got the. Carna asada fries and grilled chicken tacos tacos was ight but the fries was bomb big enough for 2 just sayen

24hrs with drive through and plenty items on the menu! my boyfriend and I were craving a midnight snack and wanted tacos so we decided to try Felipito’s since it was nearby and their tacos are pretty large. We’ve had better tacos, but for the amount given and the availability late night, it was yum!

Cold uncooked cheese enchiladas. Literally cold tortillas filled with cold shredded cheese and lukewarm extremely salty sauce on top. SO Gross. Not exactly cheap either. Brought them back to the window and asked to have it microwaved, was told they «don’t have a microwave». what?! The solution apparently was to drown my «enchiladas» in more awful lukewarm sauce. Which obviously did not help. Judging by the other reviews, this isn’t an isolated incident. Screw this place. I wish we had gone to roberto’s.

It’s cheap, quick and convenient if you’re having the late night munchies after hours of binge drinking. Went here a few times and thought this place was the bomb, but went back once when I was sober and noticed that the food was actually pretty plain and greasy, not to mention the meat is mostly fat and everything has an onion flavor to it.
But four stars to this place for curing my midnight food rages and for having some sick ass churros.

This place sucks. Their rolled taco is mostly tortilla with some trace amounts of beef. How freaking cheap do you have to be to not fry up fresh and meaty taquitos? Seriously, if your only two options are Felipito or Del, then just starve because it will be more satisfying.
I’m going to use the rest of this space to pitch a lucrative Mexican restaurant proposal to some local entrepreneur. The fact that Café Rio is the best choice for Mexican around UNLV is pathetic and you CAN compete with Taco Bell on campus. There are many CA, TX, and other ex-​pats here that don’t recognize Taco Bell as food. Get a lease at one of the many strip mall vacancies around campus that can support a kitchen. Keep it simple, just offer big tacos, filled with fresh shredded beef, chicken, pork, and maybe adobada. Price it under two dollars, don’t worry about the small margins, you’ll make it up in volume. The only other things you should offer are burritos, again, simple, tortilla, meat, cheese, lettuce, rice, and beans. They should be under five dollars. One other thing, make fresh guacomole and chips. Price those nearly to cost of inputs, you will be pricing them similar to the canned guac that felipito offers so you will end up drawing anybody who would have gone here and making money off the inevitable tacos or burritos they order. Only offer specialty Mexican drinks like orange bang, agua frescas, or sugar cane cola. Don’t fall into the delusion of selling syrup and water for high margins, you want keep up image that you only offer the best and tastiest.
You put this together, you will make money. Thousands of college students will be at your door.

Okay, so this was a total hole in the wall, but GREAT carne asada burrito. I would perhaps have given them 5 stars if the 3 rolled tacos had actually first included the gacmole they were suppose to and the cheese was melted. But the carne asada was very good, almost San Diego-​like. The place put the food together in a heart beat but it was 10:30pm.
I have to say, this place is in the memory banks… so close to the airport and the strip (if you have a car). Just do this, order a carne asada burrito and ask for extra gac and if you order the rolled tacos do the 5 with the works.
Glad I found this on Unilocal and for sure 4 stars. oh and this is take-​out only, no seating really and not a place you want to hang.

We used to always grab a burrito from here when we would have our tires fixed across the road and I remember the burritos being a lot better.
Let’s start with the fact that it has a drive they but it looks like it’s never open. It has outdoor tables that look far from clean and give it a boyz in the hood type of feel. (if you have seen that movie you know what I’m talking about).
My boyfriend always orders the carnitas burrito and adds beans and rice. He likes juicy fatty meat. The meat they gave him tonight was not only dry but tasted like it has been cooked a while ago and reheated. My breakfast burrito was ok. They give bigger pieces of bacon than Roberto’s so that’s a plus. Also the green sauce is spicy that was the only part that’s worth mentioning. I don’t think I’ll be returning here in the future.

Wow felipitos, I can’t believe I’m giving you 2 stars after all we’ve been through. Seriously, you were one of my favorite places until you tried ripping us off .
First you make the all day special (5 taquitos with quac, sour cream, cheese, lettuce) 25 cents more expensive AND you give 50 percent LESS meat in it? I feel like the taquito was vegetarian. Sorry but I like meat in my taquitos.
And you think we didn’t notice? I see you. I no longer crave your food anymore and I’m ready to try out the taquitos at Roberto’s now.
I will always remember how I loved the uniqueness of your little shack and the friendliness of your staff, however I get hungry and Id rather go to a place that gives me a decent amount of meat .
Ta-​ta until your taquitos come back … :)
