Quite authentic mexican

You can veganize your plate, just don't take anything non-vegan. They have veggies, several types of beans and wrappings, rice and toppings such as guacamole or cilantro.

Pros: Tasty food, Healthy option

Cons: Maybe add a vegan protein (besides beans)

Not bad!

I would not call Felipe’s a destination. It’s the place you go for decent, inexpensive fare when you’ve been out drinking and need a late night eat. The salsa bar is legit though.

Good, customizable Mexican food with lots of vegan options

Lots of veggies, sauces, beans, and guac you can get as a veg, with the beans and rice advertised as vegan on the menu. Guac is free which is always a plus. Good seating options. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful and we left satisfied and full.

Delicious vegan bowl

Ordered the vegan bowl from the menu. Everything in the bowl was delicious, fresh, and authentic. Very different from a big chain burrito place. It doesn’t seem like they make this menu item often, so likely good to remind/ask what is and isn’t vegan. Yummy condiments including traditional pickled carrots.

Pros: Fresh and flavorful, Inexpensive

Fresh & Delicious

Great vegan options. Like others have said, it’s “Chipotle” style where you add to your burrito down a line. Workers are fairly accustomed to “vegan” 1/4 knew what that meant haha but I was informed the guacamole IS indeed vegan now… we’ll see how I feel later tonight (I have digestive enzymes ready).

Pros: Make yourself , Fresh, Fast

Cons: Not all vegan, Parking

Okay Mexican dive

I had to be very vigilant to make sure that what they served me here was indeed vegan; the servers themselves were not quite clear. However, I did find a vegan bowl that was okay and reasonably priced.

Decent Mexican

This place serves meat but you can build a veggie/vegan bowl or burrito. It tasted fresh and it was pretty tasty. The guac wasn’t extra, which was great. Not mind blowing, but a decent option in a pinch.

Pros: Vegan bowls, Affordable, Fast

Beware the guacamole.

Bartender told us they put sour cream in the guacamole.

just ok

Visiting and it’s very basic. I’ve had better, but definitely had worse. Easy to order and you can watch them and make sure your food isn’t going to have mistakes.

Tasty

Nice Mexican fast food restaurant having really tasty food. However, you have to take care, that the stuff prepares your order really vegan, as you asked.

Pros: tasty

awesome find

Really good food - like someone had previously said, just order stuff without the cheese. You basically choose your base (burrito, taco nachos) then choose your toppings. They don't keep the vege stuff separate from the meat stuff which some people might not be keen on. And they use soooooo much plastic (cups, cutlery)

Decent Mexican food!

There isn't much to say except this place does decent mexican food! The beans are vegan so it's easy to construct vegan options (and the staff know what vegan means, which is a plus!). Very quick service and plenty of seating, it is what it is! :)

Good food, decent value

Subway/Chipotle style restaurant with much better food. It used to have bargain prices, but that has changed in the last few years. Maybe it's just me, but I've also felt the quality has gone done a bit. Nevertheless, I still need my Felipe's fix occasionally and it rarely disappoints.

Pros: Good location, Decently priced food, Better than competitors

Cons: Smaller portions

Design-your-own burrito

Felipe's is open late, so that was a life saver for a hungry vegan out in the French Quarter. I like that you can see what they are putting in your burrito and c customize it so there are no mistakes, but they do tend to go VERY fast, so be clear with what you want ahead of time.

Fresh Mexican Food at a Great Price

This restaurant serves fresh burritos/tacos made to order (like Chipotle or Qdoba). They offer grilled veggies, and also beans and guacamole, in place of meat. Very reasonably priced and fast service.

Pros: excellent food, inexpensive, fast service

Cons: can be noisy (bar inside restaurant)

Guacamole IS NOT VEGAN

I go to this place all the time and do like the food and service but have to fight to get plain avocados because they won't make their guacamole vegan and it's very frustrating!!! They always roll their eyes when I ask for avocados...think they're trying to stretch out their guacamole by adding sour cream, not very nice!! especially considering guacamole is traditionally VEGAN!! It's also very frustrating talking to the Mexican cooks as they don't understand English and their eyes just glaze over when they look at you....SO deal with the bartender only and you'll get by and DO ask for Vegan guacamole!!

Pros: fresh, service, cleanliness

Cons: non vegan guacamole, cooks that don't speak english, not accomodating customers the best

vegans for felipe's

I got a simple bean and veggie burrito -- delicious. The second I walked out the door I was daydreaming about returning the next day. The veggies were fresh and perfectly grilled. Instead of plopping the veggies in the tortilla, as if they are a side note, the preparer first selected large pieces of each type and sliced off the amount that was for my burrito :0). Also the guacamole was perfecto.

Pros: clean, nice tables, easy and quick

Cons: busy, tables fill quickly
