Felipe's Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in St. Matthews

I didn't want to give this place even one star but had to in order to get to where I can share my horrible disgusting review and experience with you. My husband and I visited here last night thinking we would eat here because I love Mexican. It was raining hard and we had to park in the back leaving us to walk up the wooden ramp entrance. As soon as we walked in the bathrooms were right there with the small bar area to the left and the hostess stand to the right. It smelled like the bathrooms so bad and was an immediate turn off. We asked for a booth and they sat us in our booth. The table was wet and the guy took napkins from the long table behind us that looked to be pre set up for a large party coming and wiped off our table. First small besides the bathroom was that. Next he asks what we want to drink. We both said water with lemon so again he just reached behind our table to the long table pre set up for a party they may have been expecting and grabbed two waters with lemon off that table and in seconds they were given to us. Next the salsa and chips were also given to us off the table. Then a lady came by with fresh chips and replaced them on the party table with the ones he took off the table to give us. I'm sitting facing this long party table mind you and my husband has his back to the table in the booth. Now not only do they give you salsa they give you a white maybe ranch based dio as well. Here was the biggest red flags to us! How long had these chips and dip been sitting out and then you give us that from the table and bring out fresh to replace what was given to us. Our silverware was also taken off the "party table." We were so grossed out by this time and my husband kept asking where he took the stuff from as he knew but I kept saying that I watched him with my own eyes and then the lady replaced it with fresh chips. We literally had our mouths open with disbelief. We almost approached them about it but decided to just get up and walk out past them hoping that would be enough if a statement. I'm reading alot is decent reviews before I posted this one and Its hard to believe. This place smelled like poop when entering (bathrooms rarely cleaned?) We will not...

I decided on this place for Mother's Day dinner. The place was not busy, only 4 tables occupied. Overall not pleased with anything except son liked the fajitas. The tostada was one tiny little smear of beans, you could still clearly see the tostada. The steak burrito was tough and dry. The rice had no flavor. The meat in the chicken burrito was tough. The chile relleno was good. The salsa verde was so sour it ruined the whole meal. I love salsa verde, but this was way too tart and unpalatable. Beef burrito was dry with no flavor also. We are not picky, we have eaten here before and enjoyed it, which is why we went back. Husband also told server that he wanted ground beef on both combo items, but ordered the tostada (beans) instead of the chalupa (meat) but she should have known the difference as he specifically said beef for both. It does get confusing the two but still she should have listened. She was attentive though except when it was time to pay, I had to walk up and pay the hostess. Even though we can practically walk here, we will not be back.

After a month, I did expect some response, they can respond to the positive, but don't respond to the negative. Just shows how...

My wife and I went to this place for lunch. From the start the Mexican server seemed to have an attitude and really made us feel like we wasn't welcome. Our questions about the food pre-order was met with harsh attitude. Once we ordered, and the food came, my tacos came with some lettuce and a big clump of cheese on top, I asked if they had Cilantro or Pico and he said NO! NOW, what mexican restaurant don't have these items? So, my wife's food came and she was upset because, they to a smaller flour tortilla and put steak in it and called it a burrito it was just folded like a taco the was NOTHING in the burrito but the steak, no lettuce, no rice, NOTHING so, my wife asked a server if this what they called a burrito and she said yes! With a bad attitude! So, the guy comes back over and starts yelling at us for questioning the food , and told to get our and he snatched our food up and told us to get out and don't come back, I guess being black going there you will meet with tensions. We will NEVER patronize these...
