Bad service. Unorganized staff. Expect to wait to place an order and for the check. Really wanted to like this place. 1 star.
Went here for my wife's birthday. I specifically told the server. He completely ignored it. We had to keep asking him for basic things. There was a spider crawling across our table. The server ignored that too, we had to take care of it ourselves. Then he was disgusted that we needed a new napkin. The bartender tried to take our plates before we were done. He didn't ask. He just grabbed them and tried to take them away. We were left sitting there for more than a half hour after we were done. The server disappeared. It wasn't busy. There were only 2 other tables. Just inattentive employees.
We have been coming here for years. It is not the same place that it used to be. The experience has been getting worse within the past few years and is now REALLY bad. The prices have increased a lot. Service is slow, inattentive, and impersonal. Extremely high prices and not worth it. Doubt we will return anymore.

Loved eating here and I will be back. I have to admit, I am an enchilada snob and when I eat at a Mexican Restaurant, what I order the first time I eat there are enchiladas. Celia's, has good salsa, excellent enchiladas, I had the ground beef with red sauce, and the obligatory refried beans and rice were exceptional. Great atmosphere. My only complaint is the parking which needs to be expanded but I will park and walk here. It was that fabulous! Thank you, Celia's.

Food is pretty bland and overpriced.
Seating views and decor are visually pleasing though.

Service was great, but the food was so expensive and not good. The rice was super dry and so were the beans. Nachos were not good. We definitely would not come here again.
Excellent service all around😁
Their tacos al pastor, prepared the traditional way, are really good!!

Margarita was good but the food was just OK
We ordered many different plates but none of them were really delicious nor very good something very casual
The portions are very big nothing very
Unfortunately Celia's Mexican restaurant doesn't have a Senior Citizen menu or discount. Just the other day I took my wife for lunch, We both ordered one Chicken enchilada with beans and rice for $25.00 each. The enchiladas were very small and they could have added a bit more " Chicken " We won't be going to " Celia's Mexican restaurant anytime soon.

A good Mexican restaurant which has a large portions. They also have chips & salsa with unlimited refills. The food is kind of hit and miss. I tried fajitas, molcajete, shrimp cocktail, enchiladas & Celia's sampler. The shrimp cocktail was delicious and enchiladas & fajitas seemed decent. I did not like the appetizers.
