A new taco shop and cocktail bar has opened its doors in the neighborhood. Called Felipe Rodriguez Tequila House, the fresh addition is located at 900 E. Washington St. in Thornton Park.

Grab family and friends and stop by this new restaurant and bar, which features a variety of Latin food and drinks. On the menu, expect to see classic Mexican dishes like ceviche, tacos, tostadas and quesadillas. The full bar offers a selection of handcrafted cocktails, from The Gringo with Captain Morgan, Amaretto, Peach Schnapps, pineapple juice and cranberry juice to La Playa, with Dobel Tequila, lime juice, simple syrup, orange juice and Grenadine.

According to the business' Facebook page, "Felipe Rodriguez grew up on a blue agave farm in Mexico. He came from nothing, but struck gold with his tequila. The community built Felipe Rodriguez and now he's giving back to the community. He brought his tequila to the United States to share with us."

With a five-star rating out of six reviews on Yelp so far, the new cocktail bar has been warmly received by patrons.

Andrew F., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on May 17, wrote, "This place is amazing, I highly recommend visiting. The entire experience was great and the service was out of this world, definitely coming back soon."

Yelper Melissa S. added, “I had a great experience here considering they are only in their second week of being open. The staff is very on top of things and Jake, our server, was excellent. I had the opportunity to try the veggie quesadillas and the black rock shrimp taco. Both tasted delicious and the ingredients were fresh.”

Felipe Rodriguez Tequila House is now open at 900 E. Washington St. on Tuesday and Wednesday from 11 a.m.-midnight, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m.-2 a.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m.-9 p.m. It's closed on Monday. Stop by to welcome the new business to the neighborhood.
