If you're looking for a great happy hour, this is definitely the spot! You get a lot for your money with both the food and drink specials. We stopped by around 3 p.m. on a Wednesday and sat at the bar. It wasn't too busy, which made for a relaxing experience. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. For food, we ordered the fish ceviche, taquitos dorados, and the birria tacos. They definitely don't skimp on the portions. Everything is generously sized and perfect for sharing. I especially loved the salsa that came with the taquitos dorados, and the birria was incredibly tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The birria tacos and taquito dorados were easily my favorite and something I'd absolutely order again. Of course, I had to try a few of their margaritas! I sampled the Classic Felipe, Jamaica, and Guava margaritas. The guava margarita was hands down my favorite. Overall, it's a great spot with delicious food, refreshing drinks, generous portions, and excellent happy hour deals. Be sure to check out their happy hour menu, you won't be disappointed! read more

So glad we ended up trying this place. Yelp never fails us, especially when it comes to good Mexican food! We ordered 3 items and split it among 4 people. We're stuffed! Portions are not skimp at all and prices were reasonable! My favorite was the shrimp ceviche. I hate to brag, but my ceviche is the best. And tbh, Felipe's is almost as good as mine! Hehehe. Very fresh ingredients with generous portion of shrimp. This was my favorite item we ordered! Tacolgado were mini quesabirria tacos that was perfectly sized to share. This was really good! Then we also ordered the chicken flautas that was really good! The chicken breast was perfectly seasoned and moist but the fried tortilla was not soggy at all. This was so good! The kids enjoyed this the most. Especially the cotija !! So so good. Wednesdays are 50% off their margaritas which I wasn't able to try but next time, I will! The ladies next to us ordered a few and I overheard how they were all good! The restaurant is family friendly, clean and decor was very cute! Service was very attentive and the servers were very quick. We enjoyed our 1st time and definitely plan to come back! read more

Food is good, but service is lacking. I ate at Felipe's last night by myself and was really disappointed at the service. I sat there for a good 5+ minutes before anyone even came over to take my order. A couple minutes after that, a party of 6 came in and they were promptly served chips and salsa, while I'm sitting there still waiting for chips and salsa. When I finished my drink, no one came over to ask if i wanted a refill, so I finally had to stop a server and ask for a refill. You need to give the single diners a little attention too, especially as many of us are locals and like supporting the local businesses. Not sure I'll be back again. read more

After hearing about Felipe's all over social media, I FINALLY decided to check it out and what better way than celebrating two birthdays The week before, I called to try to make a reservation for a party of 12, but they let me know it's first come, first served (which honestly wasn't surprising because this place is popular ). So our plan was to show up early for brunch and hope for the best. We got there around 10:45 AM, checked in, and were able to secure a table Even though their posted opening time is 11 AM, people were already seated and being served before that...so they might want to update their hours Service was great! We had multiple staff members helping our table and everything came out smoothly Drinks were REALLY good We got a margarita flight, which was super fun to try! Food was good overall, but I do think there's room for improvement. The rice was a little bland, and the beans were a bit too salty Overall, this place is definitely a vibe Perfect for celebrations or brunch with friends. Parking is easy since it's in a plaza , but the space itself is on the smaller side, so be ready to possibly wait for a table read more

Ordered a bunch of food for the New Year's Eve. And then it just still happens to be a one day which they are having a 50% off all Margarita, and that should take advantage of that. It's a busy night so we have to wait for an hour for our food. But $7 for mango margarita and the passionfruit margarita is definitely a really really good deal. Molcajete is a show stopper but is probably more theatrical than taste. It is indeeed very generous in portion and then I don't think two people will be able to finish that. What I loved the most is the fish fillet with shrimp and octopus. Lightly seasoned so fish still tastes fresh and sweet. Rice goes better with its lemony sauce and you still get quite full with all the octopus and shrimp. read more

Felipe's is a small, cozy spot with closely set tables and a large outdoor patio. The staff were warm and proud of their Jalisco roots, and answer my questions about the menu and how things were prepared. We began with bright guacamole and refreshing hibiscus margaritas rimmed with salt, pepper, and flower petals -- well-made, if a bit slow to arrive. My Carne en su Jugo was exceptional: thinly sliced steak and crispy bacon simmered in a rich tomatillo-and-serrano broth with onion, garlic, cilantro, and pinto beans -- a dish I'll remember. The carnitas were equally impressive: slow-braised pork shoulder finished on the griddle for crisp edges, served with beans, rice, guacamole, pickled jalapeños, and fresh tortillas. We're definitely adding Felipe's to our recommended places in Palm Springs. read more

First time eating here (been coming to Palm Springs for over 30 years) and it was probably the best fajitas I've ever had. We also had the house margarita and it was delicious. We sat outside which was perfect. Our waiter, Chris, was very nice and attentive. We definitely recommend this place. read more

A true find you will lot be disappointed. The chicken is seasoned just right . Enjoy

Great early lunch before flight. The staff was prompt and gracious to let us have loong lunch before flight. We sat inside - the decor is lively and festive (not loud). We had the Barbacoa (fantastic flavor) and chile relleno with shrimp (large relleno, large shrimp perfect cooked and the sauce awesome). Price is reasonable (a lesser place would have cost us about same) for quality of food and service. This is first time we've had Barbacoa (quesa-birria) the spices and tender pulled beef were fantastic. Came with a salad of red cabbage and pickled green bean which was v tasty. read more

Food was absolutely delicious. Restaurant was extremely clean. Cadillac Margarita made with fresh lime was yummy. Service was top notch. Will definitely be back. I had carnita quesadillas, very moist and cheesy. Hubby had southwest salad with chicken. Some of the best Mexican food with a great atmosphere. Close to Palm Springs airport too if you are traveling. read more

So so so good! Our bartender was fantastic and the food recommendations did not disappoint!

We yearly visit Palm Springs for our vacation and decided to try Felipe's. When you walk in immediately has a home style look to the restaurant (wish I took photos). Staff there were great, very friendly and answered questions thoroughly. The food was also tasty! I will say that the waffles are very sweet, so if you have a major sweet tooth then these waffles are it. Definitely would come back again one day for their lunch/dinner :) read more

The husband and I popped in here for a quick lunch. This is a pretty small restaurant with about 10 tables inside. They have a good drink menu here and the prices are great for Palm Springs. My one big complaint is that our appetizer came out after our main courses. I really enjoyed my taco salad. It was the best I've probably had in California. They fry the shell fresh and the shredded beef was really flavorful. My husband enjoyed his AguaChile and their house salsa is one of my favorites...chunky with a little undertone of heat. Bonus points for them bringing out a whole bunch of their sauces to try. You can tell the staff actually like working here and care about the customers. The table next to us was a little bit wonky, and before the ladies said anything he was off, trying to get napkins to stabilize the table. read more

Everything was amazing here! My friend got the party private room for his birthday and it was a vibe. He paid $200 and it came with first round of shots and appetizers for the table. I also go a tamrindo margarita and passion fruit mojito. Both drinks were amazing. The steak was okay but I have had other food from here that is much better. Just got something basic this time around. Their tacos here are also great. Our server Mario was so cool. He was singing dancing and just so friendly. I love that type of service. We will definitely be back as we are locals! read more

Really great food and exceptional service. I had the Filete a la Diabla (seared white fish in spicy red sauce) and it was delicious. It was Wednesday and half off margaritas. Woohoo. It's a small casual place in a shopping center with a patio with misters and a parking lot. I sat inside in the air conditioning. It's not a huge place but has a small bar and maybe 10-15 tables inside. Lots of locals and not in the touristy part of town. I'd go back! read more

Solid little restaurant. Don't let the strip mall location fool you. Ceviche was very good with lots of sea food. Service was also good.

The food was so good. None of us had a bad dish. The staff is so nice and helpful. Will be going back whenever I'm in Palm Springs again.

My husband and I recently went to Felipe's for dinner. The food was absolutely incredible. We went around 6:30pm and there wasn't a single table available. We sat at the bar and you could tell that the bartender was super busy but he was still really welcoming and we didn't have to wait long for our drinks or our food. read more

Restaurant was empty when we first walked in. Chose those place due to high rating and reviews. Husband got the ceviche and I got the fish/ shrimp tacos. Their servings are enormous. Then we kept seeing more and more people coming in until it was full. read more

Great staff! Food was delicious. I ordered the carne asada plate and everything was great. Drinks were sooo good. Everything is reasonably priced. I cannot wait to visit again!! read more

Absolutely amazing service! There is no, whose table is it or let me get your waiter. Everyone was so attentive to our needs. Definitely would Caine back if we are in town again. We found the restaurant through TikTok. The food was very flavorful. The bell peppers were cooked to perfection. Hands down to the amazing service we got. read more

I took my son and daughter-in-law to Palm Springs for lunch. Normally, when I go there, I do try to find a restaurant that I have never been to before. Felipe's was nice. We had an outdoor seat with misters which made it cool and comfortable. Jacob was our server who attended us quickly with drinks, chips/salsa and menus. Chicken flautas were very good. My son and daughter-in-law had the Molcajete, which I had never heard of before, and it was quite interesting. They really enjoyed it. My sister had the red beef burrito, she said that it was good but the red sauce taste was different from what she's had before. All in all it was a good day with good food and enjoyable. read more

I love this place. Let's start there. I'm pretty stuck up when it comes to food and idgas that it's next to the airport... that makes is accessible! Lol. Ceviche: 10/10 every time. We love this and that's something I get the moment I get off the plane. It's a big portion so it's best to share. Chips & salsa are great. Chilaquiles is good (red or white). The flavor is on point and the fried egg -- chefs kiss! Lastly the guac - can't complain with perfection I will be back, I love this place, the servers are great. No complaints - only compliments! read more

Found this little hidden gem on our way to Home Depot. So glad we did! Fantastic family-owned Mexican hideaway with the most delicious cuisine, and beautiful, cozy ambience. Greeted and served by very attentive waitstaff, and treated like family! The most incredible homemade guacamole that we have ever eaten...hearty and chunky. My southwest salad was quite tasty and huge--enough for 2 meals! Creamy, rich flan topped off the meal and did not disappoint. We will definitely return and bring friends! Thanks for a wonderful evening! read more

I had to update my review based on my recent lunch here. I had a craving for shrimp so I ordered the shrimp enchiladas. However, I specially requested the ranchero sauce. The chef was happy to do so, and it was fabulous. The shrimp were tender and juicy, with a faint hint of garlic. The lighter ranchero sauce perfectly accompanied the more delicate taste of the shrimp. The refried beans were silky smooth and flavorful. The rice was subtly seasoned. My server was very attentive. Again, I so enjoyed a delicious and well prepared lunch. read more

We had 2 dishes and an appetizer. The seafood tacos were amazing, what we thought was a carne dish turned out to be a stew. Not at all what we expected and it was a hot night so not at all what we wanted. The queso was good, service was just ok. Bill for 2 entrees 1 appetizers and two sodas was over 100.00. Over all I'd say it was ok! Definitely not 100.00 experience and slightly disappointing. read more

This would be a strong 4 Star rating for me. Location-(4) looks much nicer on the inside than the outside; there is indoor and outdoor seating options; really nicely decorated inside but a bit cramped feeling with our table being close to our neighboring table and lack of privacy Staff- (5) all workers are hard-working and really polite and friendly Menu- (4) lots of drink and food options; my margarita was delicious and my wife said she loved her aguas frescas; my asada torta and my wife's shrimp enchiladas were really good but too expensive...my torta was not that large and shouldn't have been $16...and same with the enchiladas at $23 (just felt 20-30% too high); chips and salsa were decent...I thought the salsa was a bit weak read more

My wife recommended this restaurant after going trying it with her coworkers. So I was looking forward to giving Felipe's a try. We started off with a michelada and the guacamole. Definitely one of the best micheladas I ever had and the guacamole was so fresh and creamy. Then we shared the molcajete, it was absolutely delicious. The service was great, I will definitely be coming back regularly. read more
