El Celaya Mexican Restaurant

Me and my spouse visited Celayas today, it wasn't busy and our servers were as attentive as they could be given this was our first time in Celayas. The food was perfect and I had plenty of time to choose from the menu as we were not rushed. I had the Jose special, to me it paired so well as a chicken and steak mix with a blend of grilled mushrooms, onions and peppers with cheese sauce over top a bed of Mexican rice. But I was a little disappointed looking at my spouses plate, the shrimp Celaya dinner, just how it was plated, the mexican rice laid flat with too much sauce but really good shrimp on the huge plate and when reading the menu for it we expected a little bit more avocado instead of two slices on top of shredded lettuce when the salad could have been served on the side and the rice it could have been bowled on the plate with the shrimp and a little bit of sauce ladled over the top with the beans on the side but my spouse did like it.
We didn't mind the non authentic Mexican feel, it felt like sitting in a diner, but paying for the extra $3.99 charge to use your credit/debit card was really the only thing that really bothered me about coming back. And just wanted to say thank you to the staff for one putting lemons on the sides of our waters, for giving us plenty of time to choose something to eat, and for serving us to the best of your abilities.

It was okay. The margaritas were great and the chips also but that’s where it stops. I honestly think their tamales are canned, and just warmed up in the microwave. Their cheese sauce taste like its canned as well. It’s also so hot in there, we were sweating while we ate. We will just stick with Maria’s. Charging 3.99% for using your debit card is a little much as well. The food definitely wasn’t worth $50.00.

Have eaten at a lot of tex-mex restaurants and this is the best yet. Service and atmosphere are great

Order the tacos. The meat was gross. Won't order that again. Use to Always go here cause they had free cheese sauce. Not any more.
Since they remodeled, prices are higher, portions smaller.

It was ok. Not somewhere I want to return to. It was also very hot & had a lot of flies. The workers like to chat more than work. I waved one down for something & she didn't get up. She just motioned for me to get my waiter.
