Chela's Mexican Food

I really enjoyed and Loved ???? my Cuban Torta it was very delicious and yummy ????

The food was good. If you want the home cooked flavor this is your spot! I have had their enchiladas/chilaquiles: the salsa is hand made and not from the can, the birria; bomb with hand made tortillas !

A friend of mine was visiting from Australia and she loves good Mexican food, which there really is not much of where she lives. She also was not interested in the top normal "tourist attractions" in Southern California. We had spent the afternoon in San Fernando, and on the way back home we passed by Chela's and stopped in for an early dinner. The outdoor seating area was colorful and pretty. The dining room was also inviting and very comfortable. The menu was impressive, including all the traditional dishes as well as a huge selection of mariscos. We settled in at a table outside, and the proprietor (I believe) came out and gave us salsa (amazingly good) and chips. Then he came out again and took our order. Though both my friend and I get by in Spanish, there was some confusion on a question, but we figured it out. Then shortly thereafter a very nice young man (maybe the other man's son?) came out to clarify exactly what our order was. Well, I can't say enough about how delicious the food was. I had grilled shrimp tacos (two large tacos piled with lots of shrimp for $7!), and my friend had the fish tacos...again, two generous tacos for $7. We also had amazing guacamole, which we were too full to finish. The sun was setting and the pretty patio lights came on. It was so pleasant. 5 stars for Service; 5 stars for atmosphere; 5 stars for food. On the way home my friend literally said "this is everything I wanted in this vacation!"

Best enchiladas ever! Definitely going back.

First time visiting since seeing Grand Opening sign couple of times prior. Not knowing what to expect , I was blown away by the Chela's Plate and expanded surf and turf menu. So glad to see a new family restaurant in town. Hidden treasure indeed, I hope to see a groupon soon..lol. The best surprise was the cook Mario, who happened to be my favorite at another local Mexican restaurant for over a decade, has brought his awesome cooking talent here.
