My Neighbor Felix LoHi — Restaurant in Denver

This spot has cookie shots & is decked out for Christmas…

Felix Navidad at My Neighbor Felix in LoHi has returned! We arrived at the restaurant, and we were seated in the main dining room; the entire place was decked out in tinsel and Christmas lights. My Neighbor Felix had a 'Felix Navidad' menu with numerous holiday drinks that we couldn't wait to try.

Our server - Kris - was a doll. She was super knowledgeable on the seasonal menu. She helped us pick out cocktails & food based on our taste preferences.

We started with a round of Santa's Cookie N Milk Shots made with peppermint rumchata, Casamigos reposado, peppermint schnapps, and half & half. The cutest holiday shots I have ever seen! The shot glasses were chocolate chip cookies that we ate after we drank the shot - so fun.

The Coco Caliente was made with hot chocolate, el jimador reposado, chocolate liqueur, & whipped cream. It was easy to keep cozy with this warm wintry, Mexican inspired hot chocolate laced with tequila. The Coco Caliente came in the cutest, winking Santa mug. This was my favorite holiday cocktail of Felix Navidad.

The Winter Coconut Cosmo was made with Tito's Vodka, cranberry juice, lime juice, real coconut syrup, & simple syrup. This winter cosmo was gorgeous & refreshing.

The Mistletoe Margarita was made with Casamigos reposado, apple cider, lemon juice, cranberry juice, & cinnamon sugar. This was a solid cranberry marg with a holiday twist.

For appetizers we started with the Queso Fundido Skillet and the Guacamole Fresco. The Queso Fundido Skillet was made with oaxaca cheese, ranchero cheese, jalapeño, caramelized onions, & goddess hibiscus chips. The queso came to the table piping hot in the skillet and the oaxaca cheese & ranchero cheese were molten & made for melty, creamy cheese pulls.

The Short Rib Birria Tacos were made with short rib birria, red onion, cilantro, tomatillo arbol salsa, corn tortilla, & consomé. The birria tacos were filled with juicy, shredded short rib and made for super savory bites. For meat lovers, these tacos are for you.

The Pescado Frito Tacos were made with tempura battered mahi mahi, chipotle guajillo crema, creamy habanero cabbage, mango-piña salsa, cotija cheese, cilantro, & hibiscus corn tortillas. The fish tacos held generous pieces of warm, battered mahi that were topped with crisp cabbage & cool crema - the texture and temperature differentiation on each...

Edit: I got a bit carried away. Summary: expensive place; mediocre, yet unique and sweet food.

The food was really good, but it wasn't what we expected. If you are looking for typical Mexican food, this is not the place for you. Their flavors are unique and unordinary. The salsa tasted sweet and the chips were made of hibiscus (flower), so they also have a sweeter taste to them.

Salsa trio appetizer: sweeter tasting green and red salsa with a middle mixture of Pico de Gallo, but a little twist of their own.

The queso was a fundido dip and was the amount of about ...a slice of Velveeta cheese, haha. Idk...it was really good, but not much food.

The atmosphere is cozy and pleasing to the eye. The interior design is open, slightly rustic, decorative, and modernized. This would definitely be a fun place for millennials and people my age to take pictures.

Our waitress was a bit...well, off. She seemed like she may be a bit annoyed with us even though we asked for a rational and regular customer item (straws). She gave us two and said, "I only have these, is that okay?" When I was in food service as a waitress, I was taught to be proactive and make sure the customer never needed to ask. My glass was foggy and had lipstick stains... Other than this little mishap, she was pretty good at checking in and refilling our waters...but she just seemed a bit passive-aggressive (slightly) at times. She was good, but just made us a bit uncomfortable and made us question whether or not our non-big asks were rude or not. Just seemed a bit uptight at first.

According to the food and pricing of each item, I would say that it's a little pricey, especially for the portions they give you.

My meal: dinner portion- flautas de chorizo: crispy, sweet touch (almost like sugar, but I'm not a chef so my descriptions are to a T), thick breaded outside, radishes, cheese, and came with smoky black beans and rice with eggs and corn pieces.

For the price, you'd think it was ground-shakingly good, but it was just...interesting, but not like melt-in-your-mouth amazing or anything. I think you can probably find better options around the Denver area.

If you want a fun atmosphere for the girls and you're fine with spending a pretty penny for unordinary, but average-tasting food, this is good for you, haha.

I liked it, but my family was biased. I'm describing this from their...

Amazing food and an even better experience! I’ve visited My Neighbor Felix several times, and it never disappoints. It’s my go-to spot for Margaritas, Guacamole Fresco, or their indulgent My Neighbor Nachos—all perfect for kicking back and relaxing.

If you’re looking for something unique, I highly recommend the Colorado Striped Bass Ceviche. The blend of onion, cucumber, sweet potato, jalapeno, pineapple, and yuzu is divine, and the plantain chips it’s served with elevate the dish to a whole new level. It’s a refreshing seafood masterpiece transporting you straight to the coast.

The Mexican Caesar Salad is a standout! With organic petite kale, Cotija cheese, Felix’s creamy Caesar dressing, and buttery brioche croutons, it’s unlike any Caesar salad I’ve had before. A must-try.

For something hearty, the Carne Asada Fajitas are phenomenal. The perfectly grilled, juicy skirt steak paired with the flavorful adobo sauce, sauteed onions, and chile peppers, all wrapped in a soft flour tortilla, is comfort food at its best. The accompanying rice, beans, and variety of salsas make it amazing for sharing.

And then there’s dessert Cast Iron Sopapilla Cheesecake with house-made horchata drizzle, it’s unforgettable or the House-Made Churros y Chocolate are my go-to!

For Brunch I love to order the Breakfast Tacos loaded scrambled eggs, bacon, black beans, queso trio, cilantro crema, and pico de Gallo.

During the holidays, the festive vibes at Felix Navidad are unmatched. The stunning holiday decor and themed cocktails like “My Hallmark Moment” and “Make it Naughty” are a must to get into the seasonal spirit.

Finally, don’t leave without trying their margaritas! The Mango Sunrise Margarita and Hibiscus Margarita are my favorites – refreshing, vibrant, and perfectly balanced with tequila, fresh lime, and pineapple.

My Neighbor Felix is the ultimate destination for incredible food, stellar drinks, and a lively atmosphere. I highly recommend it for...
