San Felipe's Cantina

I had heard good things about San Felipe's, but you have to go there to really understand how good it can be. My service was outstanding, not only was my waitress incredibly nice and knowledgeable, but the other waitresses also seemed helpful and attentive with seating and bringing out our food. The food was fantastic, the best fish tacos I have ever had....and we also had the crab legs, which are onyl served a few times per week...and they were a better deal that if I had tried to buy them and cook them myself from the store. Overall very happy, and we will be going back!

After not eating there for two years because the food had gotten so bad, we decided to try again. Too bad...what a waste of money, the food quality hasn't changed one bit. The food is bland and tasted like it had been sitting out for hours. Their salsa was the only food worth eating...too bad the tortilla chips tasted stale. Terrible. The only thing they have going for them is the atmosphere and the occasional great bands they have on Sunday nights. If you only want a drink and great atmosphere check it out, but don't bother with the food.

My girlfriend and I had a very unpleasant experience at this restaurant last evening. We have both dined there quite a few times in the past, and often bring our families when they are in Flagstaff. Because it was Tuesday night, we each ordered a #1 combo. We noticed that the prices had gone up on the new menu, but that they were no longer charging extra for shrimp. So we both ordered shrimp for our tacos and enchiladas. It was a very rude awakening, then, to see on our check that we had been charged $2 extra for shrimp. When we brought this to the server's attention, her response was "Oh, I thought you were locals, I thought you knew." Yes, I know how to read, and the old menus said there was an extra charge, and the new menus do not. Since when has it been OK to tack hidden charges on a guest's bill? When we protested further, she said she was not allowed to change it, "But you're still getting a pretty good deal." Unbelievable. That is not the point. $2 is not the point. The point is that you can't just add phantom charges to someone's bill without it being on the menu or the server mentioning it upon taking the order. And if a customer raises the issue, all you're going to do is essentially say "Tough..." ? Wow. That's customer service. The food tastes fine at this restaurant, but be sure you double-check the cost of what you are ordering, and be sure to give your check a good reading before you plunk down the plastic.

Americanized mexican food. Kind of bland and very boring unless you're drunk. Had a chicken taco with rice and beans. Chicken was flavorless cubes that you can buy at sams club. Waste of money.

I ordered the deep-fried oysters, which were outstanding. Happy-hour margaritas were well worth taking advantage of. Enjoyed the atmosphere dining at the sidewalk table.

I heard this place and great fish tacos...and man, were they good!! I had some shrimp tacos also that were delicious! Nice festive atmosphere and the service was friendly.

They just came out with a new menu and the food is spectacular. All of the regular items are here, with additional choices like burgers for those who don't like the mexican offerings. Their colorado sauce is the best. Atmosphere is fun/funky; and live entertainment on the weekends is a plus. Specials, both drink and food, are great deals. A place we like to return to again and again!
