" My partner and I visited La Celia for lunch last week. The atmosphere was vibrant, full of colorful murals and lively music that really set a festive mood. We tried the flan and the carne asada. While everything was delightful, I found the carne asada slightly overcooked. The service was prompt, and our server checked in on us often. I would love to come back to try their brunch menu sometime! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our meal at La Celia was filled with wonderful flavors and friendly staff. I had the empanadas, which were everything I hoped for. The service staff was attentive without being overwhelming. While the atmosphere is cozy, it does get a bit loud during busy times. I definitely plan to return and try more dishes on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved the torta de chorizo! It was packed with flavors and incredibly satisfying. The portion size was just right, too—not too much but enough to enjoy. The café de olla was a delightful touch, perfectly sweet without being overpowering. The ambiance was charming and artistic, enhancing our dining experience. I appreciate the attentive service; our server was always around when we needed assistance. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I absolutely loved my experience at La Celia Latin Kitchen! The moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that sets the tone for a delightful meal. I ordered the chilaquiles, and they were hands down the best I've ever had! The flavors were vibrant, and the portion size was just right. My friends tried the mango tamales and commented on how delicious they were. Service was friendly, making the entire experience enjoyable. I'll definitely be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Celia Latin Kitchen is a colorful, inviting restaurant that serves delicious Latin dishes. We ordered a variety of small plates to share, including empanadas and ceviche. While I found the empanadas to be fantastic, the ceviche lacked a little bit of the zest I was expecting, which was disappointing. However, the ambiance and decor were lovely, making for a pleasant dining experience overall. The staff was friendly and eager to help. " (*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*)
