Very good salsa!I had the espresso burrito with the Verde pork. it was delicious!My food came quickly once ordered.The only hiccup, it took almost 45 minutes to get my order placed. The place was very packed and the wait staff Seemed spread pretty thin. Probably not a place to go if you have time sensitive plans. Otherwise, this place is great!

We visited for Cinco de mayo thinking it would be a similar experience to other celias we've visited. It was not. The food was ok, except for the tamale. It was the worst tamale ive ever had in my life...and im not picky. It was hard and crunchy. Like, what? The service was slow which was weird considering the amount of staff and empty tables. Had to get up and ask for the check twice. When we were walking out there was a line out the door. You'd think they'd want to flip the tables quicker to seat more customers. Might go back to try it again because every restauranthas an "off" night, but not anytime soon.

The food wasn't bad wasn't the best and it was a little bit greasy but still very tasty. The dining room is the perfect experience. I felt the flavored Margaritas were a bit too sugary but oh, still had a wonderful time

Wonderful Mexican restaurant. The decor and locale were beautiful, the staff was hospitable and kind, and the food was excellent. The carne asada and carnitas were great, the portions were generous, and the salsa was very flavorful. Thank you for a great meal!

We ordered tacos, enchiladas, two soups and Spanish omelette. Everything but the omelette tasted pretty bad. The omelette was OK. This was the worst Mexican food I have eaten lately.

This was absolutely a great place to dine. Food was delicious and the service as well. Definitely coming back

I tried the garlic shrimp platter and a top shelf margarita. I enjoyed the atmosphere here (note: there are TVs).The architecture along with the decor exude authentic Mexican restaurant vibes and growing up in Texas makes me long for places like Celia's as an every once in a while treat.

Celia's is fabulous and finally reopen for business. We loved coming here with our dinner group and it was always so yummy and so easy to get a ton of different food to share around the table.Now that things are open again you can still come in and get that incredible basket of chips and salsa with one of the MANY options on the menu. It is a really packed menu so the food will cater to all pallets.The portions are generous and prices are reasonable. And the staff has always been so kind. So pumped they are finally open again!
