The sun never sets on the fun at San Felipe's Cantina with its coastal Mexican fare and its feisty atmosphere and whichever location you choose to dine in, the experience will undoubtedly be good. These restaurants with the archetypal shark's head popping out from above the logo have become legendary in Arizona and their popularity stems from their cool attitude and friendly atmosphere.

Start the day with their tasty brunch options, maybe a hearty burrito wrap with egg and potato along with chorizo or bacon while later on, there are some tantalizing appetizers of beer battered shrimp served with cocktail sauce, perfectly setting the tone for lunch or dinner. Amongst the entrees, the Baja chicken wrap is an excellent choice, bringing a huge flour tortilla stuffed with meat, fried onions, guacamole, cheese, tomatoes and sauce. Delicious apple pie with caramel syrup and vanilla ice cream is the best option to end and a visit is incomplete if you don't try the margaritas, daiquiris and other frozen concoctions.
