Clear your Friday lunch schedule. National Quesadilla Day is coming, and Felipe’s Taqueria is celebrating with a deal worth wrapping your hands around.
On Friday, September 25, 2026, guests can enjoy a Felipe’s quesadilla for just $7 from 11 AM to 3 PM at all Felipe’s Taqueria restaurants in the New Orleans and Naples areas.
We’re calling it the Quesadilla Lunch Break, because a hot, freshly rolled quesadilla is a much better way to spend your Friday afternoon than eating another sad desk lunch.
Here is everything you need to know:
The promotion is available during lunch only, so arrive before 3 PM to take advantage of the special National Quesadilla Day price.
Whether you are stepping away from the office, meeting friends for lunch or simply looking for a good excuse to start your weekend early, the Felipe’s Quesadilla Lunch Break has your Friday plans covered.
When many people picture a quesadilla, they think of a flat tortilla folded in half, cut into triangles and served on a plate. That is not how we do it at Felipe’s.
Felipe’s Taqueria was inspired by the street taco carts of Mexico, where flavorful food is prepared fresh and designed to be enjoyed without utensils. That street-food inspiration is one of the reasons we roll our quesadillas instead of slicing them into wedges.
Each Felipe’s quesadilla starts with a flour tortilla and melted Monterey Jack cheese. Guests can then choose their protein and customize it with Felipe’s small-batch, scratch-made ingredients.
The quesadilla is rolled tightly, toasted until golden and wrapped in foil. The result is crispy on the outside, warm and melty on the inside, and easy to enjoy wherever your day takes you.
The best way to eat it is just like a burrito: peel the foil down as you go and enjoy it one bite at a time. No fork or knife required.
The quesadilla is not a supporting character on the Felipe’s menu. It is our third most popular entrée, behind only the Super Burrito and Bowl.
That popularity makes sense. A Felipe’s quesadilla delivers the comfort of melted cheese, the flavor of your favorite protein and the freedom to make it your way.
Guests can keep it simple or build a combination that is entirely their own. Choose from Felipe’s proteins, add fresh toppings and finish it with one of our house-made sauces.
It is filling enough for lunch, portable enough for a busy day and customizable enough to keep every visit interesting.
On National Quesadilla Day, you can experience this Felipe’s favorite for only $7 during our special Quesadilla Lunch Break.
One of the best things about ordering at Felipe’s is the ability to make your meal your way. However, a great quesadilla does not need to be overloaded.
Our pro tip is to keep the toppings simple and let the toasted tortilla, melted cheese and your selected protein remain the stars.
Pico de gallo is an excellent addition. The tomatoes, onions, peppers and fresh citrus add brightness and texture without making the quesadilla too heavy.
Then choose a Felipe’s sauce to bring everything together. Whether you prefer something mild, smoky, creamy or spicy, adding a sauce is an easy way to give every bite an extra layer of flavor.
If you are deciding how to customize your National Quesadilla Day lunch, start with this formula:
Sometimes the simplest combinations are the best ones.
The quesadilla has a long history in Mexican cuisine. Its preparations and fillings vary from one region of Mexico to another, but the essential idea is wonderfully simple: combine a tortilla with delicious fillings and cook it until it is warm and satisfying.
Depending on the region, quesadillas may be prepared with corn or flour tortillas and filled with different cheeses, meats, vegetables and regional ingredients. They may be cooked on a comal, folded, fried or prepared in other styles that reflect local traditions.
There is even a famous debate about whether a quesadilla must contain cheese. In much of Mexico, cheese is expected. In Mexico City, however, guests may need to specifically request cheese in their quesadilla.
At Felipe’s, there is no debate. Our quesadillas feature plenty of melty Monterey Jack cheese, and the first cheese added to your entrée is always on us.

A quesadilla may look simple, but great ingredients make all the difference.
Felipe’s is a scratch kitchen. Our team prepares our proteins, salsas, sauces, guacamole and toppings in small batches. That commitment to fresh preparation gives guests more ways to create a lunch that fits exactly what they are craving.
You might choose a classic chicken quesadilla with pico and salsa. You could go with carnitas for rich, slow-cooked flavor or choose al pastor for a combination that is savory with a touch of sweetness. A roasted vegetable quesadilla is another satisfying option.
However you build it, your quesadilla is rolled, toasted and prepared to order.
That is what makes the Felipe’s Quesadilla Lunch Break more than a discount. It is a chance to enjoy one of our most popular scratch-made entrées at a special National Quesadilla Day price.
A $7 quesadilla leaves plenty of room to add something extra to your Friday lunch.
Pair it with chips and one of Felipe’s house-made salsas, add an order of queso or enjoy it alongside fresh guacamole. At Felipe’s, guac is not extra when you add it to your entrée.
If your Friday schedule allows, a quesadilla also pairs especially well with one of Felipe’s hand-squeezed Key Lime Margaritas. Choose a margarita on the rocks, frozen or swirled with sangria.
Not drinking? Add a refreshing agua fresca or another cold beverage and enjoy a quick lunch before heading back to your Friday responsibilities.
We cannot make your afternoon meetings disappear, but we can make lunch considerably better.
