" This restaurant is a real find! The Cuban coffees are out of this world—rich and aromatic, perfect for a caffeine boost. We also indulged in their churros for dessert, which were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The ambiance is lively and colorful, making you feel right at home with family. While the service was a bit slow during peak hours, it was worth the wait. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am always on the lookout for good Latin food, and La Celia did not disappoint! The mango shake was refreshing, but I wished it were a bit thicker. The empanadas were crispy and stuffed full of meat; they were definitely a highlight. The service was friendly, though a bit slow at times. I enjoyed the vibrant decor and buzzing atmosphere, which made the wait more tolerable. Overall, I would recommend trying the brunch here if you can! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Celia has become my new favorite brunch spot! The brunch dish was a delightful fusion of flavors, and the coffee is out of this world. I had the dulce de leche French toast, which I enjoyed very much. Service was quick and pleasant, despite how busy it was. I do recommend making a reservation if going during peak hours! Can't wait to bring my friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)
