Had lunch with my dad here, first time eating at Celia’s. Waiter was nice as well as attentive and the food was actually DELICIOUS! I ordered a combination plate with a chicken enchilada and a chile relleno (rice and beans of course) and it was BOMB! The chips and salsa are great also, especially that salsa 👌Plates are relatively large so just beware lol

Celia's is a Bay Area Mexican staple for a good reason. The dining rooms are really nicely appointed and they're always well staffed. The food is solid, but not the best around. Hits the spot consistently and great for large groups. It's clean and there's usually something for everyone on the menu. Happy to come back next time I get a craving for carne asada or queso fundido

I've had take out from this place about 10 times in the past few years and every time the food is hot, delicious, and very home-y. The customer service is excellent, the menu is huge. There are still so many things I have not eaten from there so I'll definitely try to stop by to dine in next time I can. I cannot attach any photos as I always eat the food right away, which can tell you how good it is!
