My Neighbor Felix, Centennial

My Neighbor Felix has officially opened their doors in Centennial and we couldn’t wait to check out the new location.

We arrived and we were seated in a booth downstairs by the bar - this My Neighbor Felix location was massive and had two stories. The place was packed; I highly recommend making a reservation. The aesthetic of the restaurant was lively and fun with lots of Pan-American décor including Mexican star lamps, neon light accents, & greenery walls.

Our server Mariah was very sweet and made sure we had everything we needed during our meal.

We started off with margaritas. The Hibiscus Margarita was made with hibiscus infused tequila, fresh lime, and pineapple.

The hibiscus gave the marg a nice lemony, cranberry tartness.

The Spicy Margarita was made with Tanteo jalapeño tequila, agave nectar, fresh lime, and habanero crystals.

The spicy marg had heat from the jalapeño and the Tanteo tequila provided a smoky Chipotle after taste with habanero notes from the salted rim.

For Appetizers we had the Open Faced Quesadilla, Chile Relleno and the Queso Fundido Skillet.

The Open Faced Quesadilla was made with queso trio, caramelized onion, sweet peppers, cilantro crema and flour tortilla. We added on steak.

The Open Faced Quesadilla was our favorite appetizer! The flour tortilla was lightly crisped and generously coated in the trio of melted cheese. The crunch of the tortilla and chew of the cheese went very well with the meaty steak bites.

The Chile Relleno was made with a tempura battered Anaheim pepper, chorizo, Oaxaca cheese, tomato frito, and pickled white onion.

The fried pepper was stuffed with loads of melted ooey-gooey cheese and lightly spiced chorizo. The pickled white onion added a crisp tang.

The Queso Fundido Skillet was made with Oaxaca cheese, ranchero cheese, jalapeno, caramelized onions, and hibiscus chips.

The queso was mild with a buttery taste and hint of salt. The Oaxaca and ranchero cheeses melted together for solid cheese pulls.

For Entrees we had the Carne Asada Fajitas, Tequila Shrimp Tacos, Lobster + Shrimp Enchiladas and the Pan Seared Atlantic Salmon.

The Carne Asada Fajitas were made with grilled skirt steak and veggies and served alongside beans, rice, cheeses, and sauces. The fajitas were a 'Tablas Fuertes For Two' entrée, meaning a very large portion.

These fajita were massive! The strips of carne asada were hot and smelled of lime juice and marinade. The steak topped colorful, grilled fresh veggies.

The Tequila Shrimp Tacos were made with citrus marinated jumbo tiger shrimp, jalapeño avocado coleslaw, cilantro crema, cotija cheese, radish, and cilantro.

The jumbo tiger shrimp made for meaty bites bursting with citrus that took my taste buds on a tropical getaway.

The Lobster + Shrimp Enchiladas were made with poached lobster, black tiger shrimp, avocado, tomatillo salsa verde, cilantro crema, pickled red onion, and smoked salt.

These creamy enchiladas were generously coated in savory tomatillo salsa. The lobster and shrimp added a sweetness to the dish and the pickled red onion provided some bite.

The Pan Seared Atlantic Salmon was made with serrano chile, roasted potatoes, heirloom tomatoes, and chimichurri.

The salmon fillet was flaky with a mild flavor of umami and butter. The heirloom tomatoes provided nice acidity to the fish.

For dessert we had the Cast Iron Sopapilla Cheesecake made with a cinnamon puff pastry filled with cheesecake, topped with caramel and housemade horchata.

The Sopapilla Cheesecake is a must order - it had all of us drooling and we finished every last bite. The cinnamon puff pastry had a lightly crisped exterior & doughy interior that held the silky cheesecake filling. The sweet pull in texture of the pastry against the creamy cheesecake was everything.

Big thanks to My Neighbor Felix, Brooke and Mariah for hosting us!
