Los Felix Mexican Restaurant

Everyone was happy with there order. Enchiladas were tasty. Chips and salsa delicious. Good food food price

I went here cause I was really in the mood for a street taco from the food truck and I couldn’t find one… so I walked in to Los Felix and ordered 3 soft Carne Asada tacos to go. They didn’t sell individual,so I had to buy a plate with rice and beans for $12. The beans were pretty good bit the rice was super plain, the tortillas were average, the meat was tough and over cooked. But mostly the lettuce was your standard iceberg style with washed out unripe tomatoes instead of the diced onions and cilantro that tend to come on the street tacos from the truck. Overall it left me very unsatisfied. A few days later I got street tacos from an actual taco truck, 4 of them for $8, and they were twice as good. All of that to say I wouldn’t recommend this place. Keep driving.

Continuing my quest to hit every small Mexican and New Mexican joint in ABQ, I visited Los Felix on a quiet Friday afternoon. It's a sizeable place but was mostly empty at this time of day. My waitress spoke little English so we did the old restaurant dance muddling through each's respective languages. We made it work! The chips were hot and right out of the fryer. The salsa tasted fresh and was pretty spicy. Not too chunky, more liquidy if that's your style. I ordered the Red Chile lunch plate with beans, rice, and corn tortillas. The food took about 5 minutes to arrive, and when it did it looked fantastic. Big chunks of pork and a deep red aromatic Chile sauce. (see picture). I will say, after tasting it, I did find it to be a bit under seasoned. The red Chile was decent, but a little plain, maybe a 6/10. No bitterness (good) but also not a lot of smokiness or saltiness, very little sweetness. Honestly just a little bland. The meat, while generous, was also only lightly seasoned. It
