Taco Felix

We were coming back from our boat rental at Sardis Lake on the 4th of July and we're hungry as bears coming out of hibernation...got off on the Hernando exit and the Only Restaurant that was open was Taco Felix...we had read good reviews so ...Dang! Staff was overwhelmed like crazy - people just keep coming. Excellent Dinner, Excellent Frozen Margarita. They literally ran out of food about 8pm and had to turn folks away. Worth the trip if you don't live in Hernando! 😻

As someone who frequents Mexican restaurants, I often run into chain restaurants that prepare their food day(s) in advance that leave it bland, stale, and just terrible. I was brought to Taco Felix by close friends and was far from disappointment. The place was quite busy with a small wait that was worth the wait. The place itself is next to another Mexican restaurant but taco Felix was a lot busier. Upon entering, we were greeted by the entire staff minus the cooks (obviously). It was a very warm and pleasant welcome. Not only were handshakes exchanged but names as well. It's the personal touches that add to the best of the restaurants and this restaurant has so much to offer. My usual test is their chicken soup. Is it fresh or is it done in advance and just warmed up? This restaurant does it all fresh and with this freshness, you can easily taste it. The 🥑 was completely fresh and while bigger than usual, was still good. The chips and salsa were extremely fresh with the added cilantro to just add the necessary kick. The chicken and cheese was amazing and truth be told. I wanted more but I had my own dish coming. My soup was fresh. Vegetables added to give a first for chicken soup but was very pleasant addition. The staff never let our glasses go half or chips run out. I was doubtful of this restaurant being so far from the city but the other restaurants need to take notes from this place. Until next time, Jonathan
