" Great spot for a casual meal! I tried the carne asada and it was cooked to perfection. The kids enjoyed their meals as well, and I liked that they had options for everyone. Service was quick, and the vibe was friendly. I would say it’s a solid choice when looking for tasty food in a laid-back setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must share my love for this new restaurant! The carnitas were so tender and had this rich flavor that left me wanting more. The ambiance was pleasant and the staff were friendly despite being busy. The only downside was the wait time, but all things considered, it was definitely worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have tried Celaya TexMex multiple times and can confidently say that the fish tacos are the best I've encountered in town. The flavor of the fish was delightful, and the fresh toppings made all the difference. The staff is consistently friendly and the atmosphere is cozy, perfect for a dinner out. The one downside? They can get pretty busy on weekends so be prepared for a wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" The service was top-notch, and they handled our larger party with finesse! The security staff was also helpful when we had a little delay getting in. The food was generally good; however, the tacos I ordered felt a bit greasy for my liking. The ambience added a fun touch to our dinner. I'd consider coming back, maybe on a day that is less crowded. " (*Curated Review*)

" The veggie burrito was fantastic! It was loaded with fresh ingredients, and the flavors were spot on. Celaya TexMex really shines in their commitment to using quality produce and seasoning. The major highlight of the night was definitely the friendly staff; they treated us like VIPs! However, I wasn’t a fan of the overly sweet lemonade they served. Still, I left very satisfied and looking forward to my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" The tacos were loaded with delicious toppings! I admired how the owners kept checking on us—that personal touch was nice. The only downside was the price slightly higher than expected, given the portion size. Otherwise, I had a great experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)

" A decent enough experience. The portion sizes were generous, but I found my burrito to be a bit bland. Service was good, and the atmosphere was vibrant, but I wish the food had more flavor. I might give it another try, but I’ll choose different items on the menu next time. " (*Curated Review*)
