" I took my family to Chela for dinner, and we were all impressed with the quality of the food. The mix of flavors in the tacos was excellent, and the freshness stood out. Service was a bit uneven; we had a long wait for drinks at the start, but they were worth it! Overall, a great night out that I will remember! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love coming to Chela. The atmosphere is always lively and welcoming. I tried their churros for dessert, and they were fantastic! I generally prefer a place that serves a variety of appetizers and small plates, and Chela nailed our experience with shared plates. Drinks were strong but delicious. Overall, a great choice for any occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Chela on a Monday for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The tacos were fantastic, loaded with fresh toppings. I also tried their chicken enchiladas, which were top-notch! The staff was very accommodating, and I loved the atmosphere—it felt vibrant but wasn’t too loud to enjoy our meal. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Chela for Taco Tuesday, and we had a blast! Tacos were amazing and looked great on the plate. I enjoyed their passion fruit margarita, which complemented the meal perfectly. However, the service was a little slow when we first arrived, which was a bit frustrating. Nonetheless, I would definitely come back in the future! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chela was a wonderful dining experience. I enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere and the eclectic menu. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us navigate through the menu effortlessly. I ordered the mole, which was rich and tasty. However, I found the enchiladas a bit bland compared to the other dishes, but it was overall a good experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had brunch here after hearing so many good things. The ambiance was perfect—lots of colors and upbeat music. I really enjoyed their huevos rancheros paired with a delicious margarita. The only downside was that the service fluctuated; at times it was fantastic, and at other times we had a long wait. But overall, a nice experience that I'd like to repeat. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Chela was overall delightful. The food was fresh, and I loved the authenticity that they brought to each plate. I had the birria tacos, and they were filled with flavors. The Margaritas were a hit around the table, but though we were there during a rush, the servers did their best to keep up with the demand. I’m looking forward to returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)
