| - I trusted the reviews, and I was very disappointed. If Felipito's is the best Mexican food joint in Vegas, then you're better off making your food at home.
The only thing this place has going for is giving you large amounts of food. However, that doesn't matter if there is no flavor to back it up. Felipitos specializes in BLAND.
I have tried (too grossed out to continue eating) the carne asada burrito and beef taco.
The carne asada burrito was horrible. The beef had that exact consistency and chewiness of boiled beef. The flavors were undeveloped and it was grey, not brown! The only thing I tasted were the huge chunks of onions, that was it. The meat didn't even have any hint of salt either or any other seasoning. It was completely flavorless apart from the onions.
The beef taco looked SO GOOD! It looked crunchy, it was very plump, overflowing with melted mild cheddar. Very appetizing. Then I took a bite. WTF! Like biting into a rock! The shredded beef was perfectly cooked. It was tender and brown, but had NO flavor. NOTHING. Major disappointment. Also, their taco shell might be a big health hazard for children. It can cut your mouth. I was expecting a gentle crunch like a chip, but it was like biting into those Kettle brand thick potato chips, but about 3x thicker and 5x "crunchier."
That's not all too, they also managed to take bland to another level. The sauces the food comes with: It's just spicy water. I don't know how it's possible to ruin sauces. You got spicy green water and red water that looks like hot sauce but it's not. It's just red water. Totally not the best place for Mexican food in Vegas.
