Best meat and service in town!! Felipe's as the neighborhood calls it, is a great store. It's run by a husband and wife and children in the waiting. It's always a delight to be greeted by your name and a big smile by Felipe and Louisa. At Felipe's, you'll find a newly remodeled meat section; a bigger cooler for veggies and everything you need to run a house. If you're in a motor home, they have the cutest little tiny containers, which will fit in your cupboards. The meat is cut to order and they have the best Prime Rib and filet mignon in town. If you're having a party, order your party plates and add some cheese and vegetables.

Ask them for "carne asada preparada" if you want to have a barbeque. They will thinly slice the meat and soak it with juices and spices and wrap it tightly to marinate as you drive home. In a couple of hours you will be having a wonderful bbq. This meat cooks fast over mesquite; don't overdo it!
