Chelas Mexican Kitchen

We have searched high and low for the last 10 months for the best Mexican food in San Clemente and we’ve had great experiences BUT THIS , BY FAR, is the absolute GREATEST FRESHEST TASTIEST MEXICAN FOOD… hands down!!!!
Monday, Wednesday & Fridays 3pm happy hour food… fish tacos are OUTSTANDING!

My husband and shared a breakfast burrito… sorry I did because I wanted it all for myself! Five different types of salsa to choose from… Our favorite was the habanero.

I highly recommend coming here for not only the food but for customer service as well!

How wonderful that they share … yes SHARE the tips with the cooks!!! That’s really taking care of your people!!

We can’t wait to come back and enjoy the great taste of your establishment

2nd time enjoying their fabulous Chelas chicken salad - just scrumptious! I've promised myself that next time I'm going to try the short rib tacos as of happy hour! Great addition for the area!!

We got take out dinner here tonight for the first time. We had the delicious fish tacos and the chicken salad with its yummy lime dressing! Both items were good size and they have good happy hour deals (2 fish tacos for $6). Another customer had a good sized burrito and said it was super tasty! Casual cute place inside a few tables outside. Beer and wine coming in the fall.

Food is tasty. Fresh ingredients well prepared. Top with any salsa they are all fantastic a couple are very spicy =) The service is impressive. This is our new go-to for take out/patio Mexican cuisine.
