Let me start by saying everything offered in this restaurant is Delicious. I stated off with a bowl of Lentil soup which was almost a meal in itself. Next for an appetizer I had Empanadita Criolla which is made with ground beef and the fried Calamari. For the main course I ordered Rabo Encendido which is Oxtail Cuban Style meat so flavorful n tender. Washed it down with a Sangria. Finally for dessert Bread Pudding. I was so full but, so satisfied with my meal I highly recommend Felix.
We ordered the sampler plates and they were absolutely delicious.
The plantains were crispy on the outside and sweet and juicy on the inside.
The spinach was creamy and flavorful.
The meats and onion were really well cooked.
Wonderful hole in the wall spot.

(7/12/2023) First time Cuban Restaurant and it was pretty good in my opinion. Service was friendly, and food came fast as well. Oxtail was definitely must try here because it had fatty that easily chewing and delicious overall. Also, Felix Combination was tasty as well that had lots of different ingredients in it. Creamy Spinach also good in my opinion. Because of this place, I would try more Cuban food in the future.
Always a true delight to have a meal at this restaurant.
The staff has been the same for years, they're always kind, always helpful.
Food is prepared quickly but flavors aren't skimped.
My favorite is arroz a la cubana. It's a generous portion and always makes for great leftovers the next day.
Mojitos are refreshing, tasty and loaded.
Never change Felix
Many times I've enjoyed the empanadas, the croquettes, and Cuban sandwiches here at Felix's. Recently, a jazz trio played outside while we enjoyed our lunch alfresco. Sitting outside underneath an umbrella reminded me of eating at an outdoor cafe in Europe.
Lots of food for the price. The service was excellent, as the waiter made sure to take precautions for my gluten allergy. I had a separately prepared red snapper with the sofrito, beans, and rice.
My friends enjoyed the appetizers, paella, and plantains. It was $100 for 5 dinners with appetizers and salad and dessert, no drinks.
Felix's is located in an adorable historical downtown area of Orange, CA. It's very tasty and I have been there twice. I had the shrimp de ajo, which is the Camarones de Ajo (garlic) and it was delicious. The only item I didn't like on my plate were the "tostones", which are a very bland fried green banana cake. It would seem to me that someone should add flavor to them. I have been to Cuba in the past and food is bland, and these are very much like the ones in Havana.
I have been going to Felix for many years. The food is always excellent and the wait staff are awesome. If you like Cuban food that is authentic this is a great place to go. I had their chicken with rice and beans. My wife had a delicious omelette. They have both indoor and outdoor seating.
No wait on a Saturday night. Ordered the Grilled Pork with tres leches dessert - it was all really good! Service was fantastic and the outdoor seating is nice and peaceful. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice dinner in the area.
#buddybeartv says this cafe is uniquely brilliant. A part of the Old Town Orange culture & landscape for many years. Serving 2nd generation delicious, memorable Cuban and Euro inspired cuisine for over 30 years. On Fridays, the fish soup is an absolute go to with the french bread.
Perfect place to travel through food. Great service and ideal place to people watch while enjoying a good meal.
Felix has been serving fresh Cuban cuisine to the orange circle and patrons for over 65 years. Once you see the menu you'll see why. Many options but I personally can't stay away from the shrimp lousianese,the sauce they pair it is hallmarked in my taste buds hall of fame.
I've been going here for decades and just love the food. I had the oxtail and it was delicious and cut with a fork tender. All meals include soup or salad and dessert. The natilla was to die for. There isn't anything fancy about this place. Just super food and lots of it.
Went here for the first time today to order some Oxtails to go. The restaurant itself has a very calming and beautiful atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating. The servers were quick with my order and I was in and out in under 10 minutes with my to-go order. The Oxtail was delicious and fell right off the bone 🤤 Authentic fried plantain and delicious rice on the side. Definitely going to be a regular here!
Amazing restaurant, food beyond delicious and large portions. Felix is the place for authentic and affordable Cuba restaurant.
Our waiter was courteous and friendly. He explained the menu offering for people in party who never had cuban grub. We decided on chicken /seafood dishes plus extra plates for sharing.
Warm bread with drinks came out right away. In Cuba, rice and bean are always serve as a comfort side dish. Plus sweet plantains bananas. Expect lots of carbs.
Arroz con Pollo. Great moist chicken. The yellow rice is season well with paprika and salt. Seafood, shrimp and calamari, wow. Food was well season with garlic, Saffron, cumin, bay leaf salt and pepper.
Be sure to get dessert. Flan and Tres Lethe cake best way to end meal.
We dine in. Only complaint was the smell of cigars/cigs that would waft in the restaurant.
Grabbed lunch with friends here on Saturday. It was a good place to enjoy a meal. Very generous helpings of classic Cuban dishes at a reasonable price. All the staff is friendly and the food I great. Come with and appetite.
This place has a lot of good people who served the customer. They make sure you’re satisfied with the food and the service. They have pretty good deal with the food. If you select the meal, it comes with appetizer and dessert. And the price just incredible inexpensive. . . Since the pandemic, they just serve outdoor dining. But do not worry, at night, they set up the table with heater too...
