It's a Family Story

Don Felipe Mexican Restaurant began as a dream rooted in family, flavor, and the rich culinary heritage of Mexico. With over 20 years in the restaurant business, our family has dedicated itself to bringing the true taste of Mexico to Michigan — one plate at a time.

"We don't just cook food — we share our culture, our memories, and our love on every single plate. Every recipe has a story."

Now proudly serving Sandusky as our 5th location, we bring the same cherished recipes — street tacos, slow-braised mole, sizzling fajitas — to the heart of the Thumb region.

Hands down the best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to! Not only is the food phenomenal but the atmosphere and servers are awesome! The street tacos are amazing and the margaritas are so big and tasty. The Burrito Preferido is HUGE!! Love love love this Mexican restaurant! We don't have any other Mexican restaurants nearby so we're so lucky to have Don Felipe! Great food, great people. Our forever go-to!

My wife is half Mexican from San Diego and we know the real deal. We found the real deal here in Michigan! Taco Al Pastor was made the traditional way with pineapple on top. Incredible!

Ordered delivery via GrubHub for lunch and was not disappointed. Really liked the steak fajitas, guacamole, rice, and beans the most. Will definitely order again!
