Filiberto’s Mexican Food

We absolutely love this place. We are from Arizona and would come to taco Tuesday every week at the location in Arizona on bell rd by the Kohl's. So when we heard this place was here we took our daughter out of school so we could have a memory. And this place did not disappoint we go the shredded beef tacos. Absolutely amazing! We were so surprised to see how beautiful this place was. Our server was great. I can't wait to come back!! Thank you for making our week.

The food and service were amazing. As someone from California who spends plenty of time in Mexico, I know good flavors when I taste them—and this place impressed me more than I expected. I gave 4 stars only because the restaurant wasn’t busy during our visit, and I’d like to come back when it’s crowded to see if the food and service are just as good. My husband ordered the fish tacos, I had the carnitas plate, and we shared the rolled tacos and a lengua taco, as pictured below.

TL;DR: This has its niche, but it's not "authentic Mexican" from any particular region of Mexico and there's better Mexican Restaurants in town (authentic and Tex-Mex). Filibertos is a chain restaurant that I would not consider "authentic". I'm not comparing this to other tex-mex restaurants in town. It's a very California/Tex-Mex cuisine that is fast-food adjacent. The aesthetic will likely remind you of Taco Bell (bright and bold). Given that I'm comparing this to more authentic restaurants and Mexican-American restaurants some of this will sound harsh. The salsa has a good strong flavor. It's not what I'm used to, but it has a good jalapeño flavor (smokey/earthy with a little heat). It's served in a shared bowl. The chips are the thicker variety common to some Mexican restaurants. T

✨ What a pleasant surprise this new authentic Mexican restaurant is! 🌮🇲🇽 I loved everything — the flavors, the atmosphere, and the service. They’ve only been open for 3 weeks, and they’ve already won my heart (& my taste buds 😋). Wishing these entrepreneurs much success as they continue to grow and share the true taste of Mexico with everyone! 🌟

Extremely nice and service was outstanding, the salsa bar was really good, you get a lot of food & it was very tasty. Pictured is 1 meal!! We will be back!
