🌮 Felipe’s Taqueria Celebrates 10 Years in Naples with a Community “Tacoversary” Fiesta

A Decade of Flavor, Family, and Community Connection

Felipe’s Taqueria is celebrating a major milestone in Naples—10 years of serving scratch-made Mexican food and welcoming guests like family. On Friday, October 24, both Naples locations will host a Tacoversary Fiesta, filled with music, $10 lunch specials, happy hour deals, and heartfelt appreciation for the community that made this decade possible.

For Felipe’s, this celebration is not only about great food—it is about people, relationships, and shared traditions that have grown over the years.

🌴 From New Orleans Roots to Naples Tradition

Felipe’s first opened in Naples in 2015 with one goal: bring authentic, made-from-scratch Mexican cuisine to Southwest Florida. From day one, the community responded with enthusiasm and support. Over time, what began as a new venture soon became a beloved local favorite.

Today, Felipe’s proudly serves guests from two Naples locations:

  • Park Shore Plaza – 4255 Tamiami Trail N.

  • Logan Landings – 2220 Logan Blvd. N., Suite 810

Families stop by after beach days. Friends gather for happy hour. Visitors return each trip because Felipe’s feels like home. This connection is what the Tacoversary is truly celebrating.

💛 Honoring the People Behind the Tacos

At the heart of Felipe’s success is an incredible team. Every burrito rolled and every margarita poured is crafted with care, pride, and consistency. Many team members have been part of Felipe’s journey from the very beginning. As a result, their dedication has shaped the culture and helped Felipe’s become a trusted name in the community.

🌟 Celebrating a Decade of Leadership: Jairo Navarro

Jaira Navarro is named Manager of the Year

When Felipe’s expanded to Naples, Jairo Navarro moved from New Orleans to help lead the way. Ten years later, he continues to serve as Multi-Unit Manager for both Naples locations. His exceptional leadership earned national recognition in 2019 when he was named El Restaurante Magazine’s Manager of the Year.

“Jairo is the kind of leader who never asks for recognition — he earns it every single day,” says co-owner Pike Howard.

Jairo’s commitment has helped shape a culture focused on teamwork, hospitality, and growth.

💪 Resilience Through Every Challenge

Living in Southwest Florida brings beauty—but also challenges. Over the past decade, Felipe’s has weathered hurricanes, power outages, and unexpected disruptions. Each time, the team came together to serve the community, not just reopen.

After Hurricane Irma, Felipe’s became a source of comfort and meals for neighbors in need. During the pandemic and recent storms, the team showed resilience, compassion, and dedication. This spirit of community support remains a core part of Felipe’s identity.
