San Felipe Mexican Restaurant

Love this Mexican spot! I’ve moved to the area a few months ago and this was the third place I’ve tried and it’s a keeper. Clean, fun, and friendly. Their margaritas could be a little stronger though haha! Great food

Great atmosphere, fast and polite service every time. Try the ACP, nachos or pollo salad. My favorite place to eat Mexican food in town.

My favorite Mexican place in the area! Good food, nice people. Great prices. Delicious salsa. Not a huge fan of their guacamole (I prefer a chunkier guac) but it’s still good. They have great specials daily too.

Went to the location in Aberdeen and it was OK. Don’t get me wrong it was your average Mexican food (which is a good thing). I don’t feel it was beyond most other Mexican restaurants out there. Service was great, the location we visited was clean and neat. I would go back if in the area.

Good food, nice atmosphere, attentive service, great salsa (not chunky) and great lunch deals. Definitely try the Jalapeño Cucumber Margarita, best I’ve ever had!

It got noticeably better this past year. It isn’t just a menu refresh, but they improved on existing standards. Casual, kid friendly, and affordable.
Carolina Chimichanga — Wow. I was not expecting that. The name is kind of gimmicky, but the dish was not. They really know how to do carnitas… the pork was break apart tender, juicy, and flavorful. But my wife and I agreed that was the best dish we’ve had there as well as compared to any other Mexican restaurant in the area.
Salsa and chips are consistently good. Guac is okay, nothing special. Beer is a good value relative to other restaurants… not micro-​brew or anything, but I appreciate having negro especial and modelo on tap… especially for what they charge.
Fajitas got a revamp like I mentioned… we enjoyed it and glad we came back … we will return.

Had a group if 7 and had great service and good food. I ordered the vegetarian combo plate and it was really good.

Worst service I’ve had in a long while… Just like eating in Fayetteville. Will not come back. EVER.

This is close to top of the list of the worst service I’ve had at a restaurant. I’ve been here twice now and both times have been absolutely horrible. I’ve had to flag down servers just to get them to bring me a menu at the bar. Even when I ask for a menu, I have to ask a second time. It’s a shame because I live so close and would be a regular patron if they would fix this.

Food, service, beer, margaritas, and good fun offered here. Too the girl friend out for a date night and we loved it. Clean place and decorative inside. We will come back!!!

My family and I came here for the first time and had an awesome experience. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. It is definitely the nicest Mexican restaurant in the area. The prices are great and there are daily drink specials like $ 1.99 margaritas Monday and Tuesday and $.99 drafts on Wednesday. q

Nice atmosphere. Clean place. Good place to go for a reasonably priced meal.

First time here following others recommendations. Really casual place, but popular, reservations recommended. First off, I noticed the booth cushions were badly worn, many of them torn. I know this shouldn’t matter, but it set a bad impression for me. Our party of 4 was seated in one of the booths, it was small and very tight for 4. After we settled in, a couple of us ordered the house Margarita, one frozen, one on the rocks. Not very good, just bland. any good Mexican restaurant needs to be sure their Margarita’s are good, strike one. They have a good beer selection though.
The chips are fresh and the salsa was good, just the right level of spice. My enchilada special was good, not great, but good. Like they didn’t heap all kinds of lettuce and tomato on top, and each of the enchiladas had ample amount of filling of beef, chicken, cheese or frijoles. Same with my parties chicken burrito, taco’s, and quesadilla. Sampled the molten chocolate cake (just ok) and fried ice cream (just ok).
Service was attentive and excellent. The price/​value is excellent, $ 50 for all 4 of us, including the 2 Margaritas, 4 entrees, and 2 desserts.

This is one of my favorite places to go with the family. I can go here with my wife, two kids (one is grown), and usually a few family friends, and the bill is typically under 50 bucks. That is great for a sit down restaurant. This is half of what I would spend at established brands like Cracker Barrel and the food is a hundred times better. There are Televisions in the restaurant and the staff will often put on whatever you ask them. I like to have the football game or NASCAR race on while sitting with the family. The staff is very, very friendly. I recommend the fajitas, fresh off the frying pan. This place is the real deal. I strongly recommend them and I will continue to give them my business.

My new favorite local Mexican restaurant! Delicious food — their new Tortilla Soup is fantastic and the serving enormous. We also love the quesadillas and nachos. Haven’t had a bad meal yet. Service is practically nonexistent — last visit I had to ask someone to take my money and bring change. She wasn’t our waitress and took it without a word. Someone else brought the change. A little strange, but doesn’t take away from the overall experience, the food is too good!

Wifey, daughter and I went back for dinner one night after work. I originally gave this place 3 stars, but have decided they deserve the upgrade.
We ordered the chicken quesadilla as an entrée for our daughter and the the wifey and I split the chicken fajitas for 2. Plenty of food for everyone, and it tasted really good. Plus, this time around, I decided to get the ridiculously big 32 oz mug of beer…$ 4.00. Can you believe that? Granted, you only get to choose from 3 beers… but a bottle of bud at almost any bar would cost you $ 4.00, and this one is 32 ounces.
So the total bill for our family was $ 22. That is very hard, if not impossible, to beat for a sit down meal with an alcoholic beverage.
THM (Take Home Message): Yes, it’s loud inside, not very fancy at all. The wait staff isn’t overly attentive… but get’s the job done. This obviously isn’t the place for the typical Southern Pines rich, white, retired mafia… but if you have a family and don’t feel like spending $ 100 for a decent tasting dinner… then you should definitely put San Felipe on the top of your list. And again, they have a military discount… which always impresses me.

Definitely the best Mexican restaurant around. The rest of them forgot what real Mexican food was. We keep going back trying new things each time excellent food. The salsa is really good and fresh as well. Fast and hot when we ordered take out as well! Hard to find. Highly recommend the San Felipe Super so you get a taste of everything!

Good food, great service. We’ll definitely go again.
We split the mixed grill fajitas, which were tasty, as was the quesadilla that my daughter had. The salsa was good as well, reasonably spicy. Only negatives on the food: the beans were pretty thin and probably from a can, and the tortillas were obviously brought in on a truck as well, not made from scratch. And the service was great and very attentive.

San Felipe has a wonderful variety in the menu, and everything is delicious! I’ve tried at least 8 different dishes at this restaurant, and have yet to be disappointed (my favorite are the fajita nachos). I’ve been here dozens of times over the last few years, and the service is always friendly and fast.
I recently moved from NC to CA, and one thing I can’t seem to find on the west coast is the delicious white queso dip! I’ve searched taquerias and regular sit-​down restaurants, but have come up empty. San Felipe has wonderful queso (both as a dip, and within many meals), much like most of the restaurants in this area. So I have to respectfully disagree with Christopher’s comparison of NC/​CA Mexican food. When I go back to visit friends and family in NC, San Felipe is the #1 stop on my list of places to eat.

On par with good, authentic tasting Mexican food. The chips and salsa are slightly above average. I ordered one of their specials that had San Felipe in the name, and it came on 2 plates. I wish I could remember more, but at the time we went, we sneaked away from our field training exercise to get some real food, and now that I’m back in California, it’s hard to praise North Carolina Mexican food in comparison.
