" Came across Chela’s while road-tripping, and what a find! The food here is seasoned beautifully – the chicharrón tacos were out of this world! The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. I will absolutely return for more authentic flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Chela’s yesterday and it blew my expectations away. The spicy salsa was exactly what I needed. The tacos del pastor were seasoned perfectly—best I've had! The place was busy but the staff were quick and attentive. I highly recommend this place as a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. On one hand, the tacos were good, made with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. On the other hand, my friend’s dish had a slight hiccup – the carne asada was a bit chewy. The service was fantastic, and they seemed genuinely invested in our experience. Perhaps some more attention to detail would elevate their offerings to the next level. I would still recommend it for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic tacos, you need to stop here! The food is fantastic; you can truly taste the love that goes into the cooking.

" This is a must-visit restaurant for anyone who loves authentic Mexican food! I devoured every bite of my chicharrón tacos. The quality of the ingredients was evident, and the level of seasoning was just right. I also tried some of their aguas frescas which were delightful. The only complaint I have is that the seating area was a bit cramped, and the place was buzzing with activity, but it added to the authentic feel of the restaurant. Can't complain too much when the food is that good! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you ever find yourself in Barstow, do yourself a favor and visit Chela’s y Carnitas. It’s authentic Mexican food at its best! I tried their flan for dessert and it was phenomenal! The staff made sure we were satisfied with our orders and offered suggestions. I really appreciated their kindness. The only downside? We had to wait a bit for our food due to the crowd, but the ambiance and cheerful atmosphere made it worth the wait. I cannot wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)
