" Not impressed. We were excited to try Doña Chela, but ended up regretting it. The service was inattentive, taking far too long to get our food even though it wasn't busy. The queso wasn't fresh compared to other places I've tried. Maybe I just caught them on a bad day, but I won't be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really excited to try Doña Chela based on all the hype. The food was pretty good; I appreciated the authenticity of the dishes. However, the service was somewhat lacking. Our server seemed rushed and forgot items from our order. An excellent restaurant in theory, just needs to iron out the service kinks. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food! I had the chilaquiles and they set a new standard for my breakfast! Amazing depth of flavor. Service was friendly but a bit slow due to a busy weekend morning. The making of the foods felt authentic, and the ingredients tasted fresh. I will definitely be returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is a must-visit if you want authentic Mexican food in a welcoming atmosphere. I particularly enjoyed the fideo, which is hard to find in most places! A generous portion was served, just as my grandma would have made it. The staff were friendly, contributing to the warmth of the dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)
