Mami Felipa Cocina Mexicana

The inspiration

Mami Felipa Cocina Mexicana sets out to cook Mexican food the way it would be made in someone's home, and its own pitch is that the food is the closest thing to a home-cooked meal . The menu leans on traditional dishes and fresh masa-based cooking rather than anything trend-driven¹ .

What to order

• Mole enchiladas: the mole dishes show up in the popular items and are worth building a meal around .
• Many of the dishes come with handmade tortillas, and the kitchen prepares food to order rather than holding it under heat lamps .¹

What people are saying

Diners again and again describe the food as authentic and homemade, from the fresh masa to the corn tortillas made in house¹ . Reviewers also mention the generous portions and the made-to-order freshness, noting that dishes take a little patience because everything is prepared at the moment¹ . The room itself comes up in reviews too, with the floral, garden-like decor and friendly service giving the place a vibrant, cozy feel¹ .

Why you should try it

It is casual, generous with portions, and the kind of place where breakfast runs into lunch and dinner without missing a beat .
