Food was not authentic. Food service was severely delayed. Guacamole tasted like store-bought guacamole, Mexican Coke arrived already opened, tasting like refillable fountain coke. The weirdest feature of all it is “authentic Mexican restaurant” that is playing 50s American music. Overly priced enchiladas, a serving of just two tacos for $18 for only 2 tortillas with some chicken inside. Don’t be fooled by the high ratings.

Came for the first time today (Tuesday April 9th) with my family and as soon as my family and I came in, the front hostess was extremely unwelcoming since we stepped in. They don't have name tags but whoever was working that day (tall, skinny girl, brown hair in a high pony, Hispanic). Didn't welcome us, nor say a word to us, we asked for a booth and she's like, "no, no booths" all rudely. She seated us but we asked to be seated somewhere else because she seated us directly next to another family. The table arrangements are all close together, with it being empty it was unnecessary to be so close to others. When we asked for another table, she didn't say a single word, she just snatched up all the menus in a bad mood and threw them on the table when we were seated. We got up and left, laughing at the fact someone could be so miserable and carry such a bad energy that it shoos away customers. Keep in mind, it was empty with only one other set of diners.

Waited at bar for 15 minutes until waiter acknowledged me. Had a Cadillac Margarita which was shaken didn't know why he had to water it down that way. Cadillac margaritas shouldn't be shaken. Guacamole was Ok chips were stale and I had to pay $4.00 for them. Not going back ??

I need this place to have more stars. This is the best, most authentic Mexican brick and mortar restaurant in the area.

My Husband & I went in today to have lunch. First of all the Menu choices, not much & no Burritos. The food was tasteless! Also, they don’t give you Chips & Salsa, you have to order them as another meal. I had the Chilaquiles with over easy eggs on top. The sauce was SO Spicy I couldn’t even eat it & my eggs were over cooked. I also had a Chili Rellono, not good!! Chili had seeds & Cheese was not melted at all. My husband had Carnitas, vary Tasteless & Dry!! I Do Not recommend this Restaurant at all for how much we paid, Not Worth It!! Almost $70!!

I used to come to this location when it was Cody's Viva Cantina. It was a great spot for live music 7 days a week. Celia's isn't currently a place for live music but the food is quite good and a good option for a weekday lunch when everything else is crowded. A sound check was going on for karaoke later in the week. I had the Cochinita Pibil, Yucatan style pulled pork with rice and beans. The rice and beans left much to be desired but the pork was excellent. I also liked the tortillas and chips which I assume had to have been home-made. I look forward to trying more dishes and am glad to have found a good restaurant that isn't overwhelmed during the lunch hour.

the Cochinita Pibil is great, service great, interior/vibe/location is all good for me. Ate too many chips and salsa but that's my own fault. See you soon!

So BLAND. I've been here before and it's been better but this last time I went, the food was awful. Like no seasoning at all. The beans and rice were a travesty. The service is always very ok... not super attentive, but personable enough. The pricing is way too expensive. I've seen other posters complain about this as well. Tacos are like $4-7 for just the taco. I won't be going back any time soon...
