Went here with a couple girls friends and food was really good. Loved the red salads as it had a Smokey feel. Also loved birds tacos. Great service and great Mexican food

Chela and our server Yubitza were an absolute delight for a weekend brunch! We are a big Mexican food and brunch fans on the food were absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared. The service was even better and friendlier. I wish we weren't moving out of NYC so we can come back here again and again.

We loved the complimentary nacho and salsa, the salsa is delicious. We ordered their mole: it was bitter so I do not recommend. Their steak was slight, not good quality. It was cooked perfectly but the steak itself was really poor quality. The ribs were alright. We also order the aguafresca rojo, which was fresh and delicious.

Their service is amazing! Our server was so nice and considerate. The lady who made sure we had all we need and our water cup is always filled. We really appreciate their service!

Music was extremely loud.

There are very few places in this (or surrounding) neighborhood(s) that offer equally SPECTACULAR food, atmosphere & service. Ronny is a Master Chef & exemplary Host... He & his team are cream of the crop & it is evident in everything about Chela. Two pro tips for you:
THE RIBS & THE ARABIC TACOS!!!!!!!!

GET THEM!!!

Great vibes here for happy hour! $10 tacos and margaritas. The wait staff are super friendly and attentive. This spot has plenty of seating for happy hour, but is absolutely packed during dinner time. LOVE that they serve house fried warm tortilla chips with salsa as you peruse the menu. The fish tacos here were super crispy, but the pickled onions were a bit on the sour side, and the cream was a lot for the small amount of fish. In general, portions are definitely on the smaller side.

We drove 1 hour and 30 minutes to this place for a birthday dinner. we all had a blast! Chela is a great place to enjoy tasty food and drinks! I personally love the chef Angel's dish, Pescado Tatemado and his mole.
If i could, I would give 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for their great food and service😊
we'll definitely be back back soon!
