I ordered the Steak & Eggs, which is a T-bone with some side choices. I got a pancake, grits, biscuit & gravy and Pepsi to drink. I gave Felix an average score because the issues are so common. I sat on the patio because it's a beautiful day. I told them I was going there and there were already two occupied tables. My server was very attentive as I placed my order. Another person brought the food. The original server is supposed to come back to ask if everything is all right. She didn't, so I went in to get a steak knife. I got back to my seat and realized there were no pepper & salt on the table. The tables have umbrellas. I thought they might put s&p out when they opened. Nope. Rather than go inside again, I waited until she came back - it seemed like ages. I asked her for it as she started to walk away with her back to me. By the time she wandered back with salt & pepper, everything was cold. I don't eat grits or eggs without s&p. Better to be cold than bland. Thr biscuit was about 5 inches tall and crumbly. Even with the gravy, it disintegrated. The steak was good, but it was not rare, as I had ordered. The only rare place was by the bone, with the rest being medium. It was tasty and easy to cut with the steak knife. Nobody mentioned steak sauce. It could've used some A-1. The waitress FINALLY came back with my ticket and I asked for a to-go box for the pancake and steak. That was a mistake. Anyway, you get the picture. Except for the crumbly biscuit, the food was not bad. The service was abysmal. The server started to pout when I went in for the steak knife. When I first came in. I overheard her saying that there are only two employees that speak Spanish! Crazy white owners in a giant population of Mexican Americans in North Mississippi. I came here only because it's not far from Kroger and I wanted to try it. I thought it would be cheaper. From now on, I will drive over to the Kroger parking lot and eat authentic Mexican American food...
Read moreAs someone who frequents Mexican restaurants, I often run into chain restaurants that prepare their food day(s) in advance that leave it bland, stale, and just terrible. I was brought to Taco Felix by close friends and was far from disappointment. The place was quite busy with a small wait that was worth the wait. The place itself is next to another Mexican restaurant but taco Felix was a lot busier. Upon entering, we were greeted by the entire staff minus the cooks (obviously). It was a very warm and pleasant welcome. Not only were handshakes exchanged but names as well. It's the personal touches that add to the best of the restaurants and this restaurant has so much to offer. My usual test is their chicken soup. Is it fresh or is it done in advance and just warmed up? This restaurant does it all fresh and with this freshness, you can easily taste it. The 🥑 was completely fresh and while bigger than usual, was still good.
The chips and salsa were extremely fresh with the added cilantro to just add the necessary kick. The chicken and cheese was amazing and truth be told. I wanted more but I had my own dish coming. My soup was fresh. Vegetables added to give a first for chicken soup but was very pleasant addition. The staff never let our glasses go half or chips run out. I was doubtful of this restaurant being so far from the city but the other restaurants need to take notes from this place. Until next...
Read moreNo doubt the food was decent and the salsa wasn't spicy so I loved that. But my sister ordered some street tacos (which were so small you literally could be done in two bites) and she said they were overly salty. She then asked me to taste it so we could see what item on the taco was salty so we could just remove it ourselves and not have to send food back, which we hate doing. The server came over and I explained the situation so he took the plate and she ordered a different menu item. She was satisfied with her fajita tacos so now time for the check. I never physically was handed a receipt/ check. The server read all items that were ordered and proceeded to give a total. I'm like no wait! We sent the street tacos back so why are you charging for it. So he said it's their policy if you eat more than half of the dish you have to be charged full price. First of all, it was their fault the food was salty. Secondly, the dish would include her sides as well which she didn't even touch. She only tasted one of the tacos. Instead of removing the item off the receipt I never saw, he says oh but I can give you 30% off your meal. If you can do that why not just take the item off. This was frustrating and something I've never experienced before. This was my first and last outing to Taco Felix. That...
