Just the opposite, in fact. They have multiple locations within Wichita, but we think the original location remains the best.

They started with humble beginnings, and spread to four different locations in Wichita, each offering the Felipe's charm while serving all of Wichita and surrounding neighborhoods. They take good care in their food, and you'll find that you're paying a fair price for the portions you receive, which are more than enough to fill up any customer.
They have fried tacos that'll make you fall in love, but their giant enchiladas will help you stay in love.

Other fare includes fajitas, plenty of combo meals, and of course, amazing dessert. It's hard to pick between fried ice cream, flan, and their amazing sopapillas. They also have what they call a "Mexican banana split" which involves fried tortillas, bananas, and ice cream. Why not try them all, right?
Their hit item, however, is the Flaming Cazuela. This 40-ounce drink has been popular for years, but they're serving them more then ever these days.

It's a drink made with citrus juices, tequila, vodka, rum, and triple sec, with a couple secret ingredients to make it unique to Felipe's alone. It's marked by a signature flaming orange peel, and being served in a bowl. You'll never forget your first one, but you might if you drink it all alone!
Consider adding Felipe's to your bucket list this year, because it'd be a shame if you missed out.
