The best food!! I got the Wednesday Happy Hour 2 incredibly fresh fish tacos with chips and salsa for 6.00!! My husband got the steak enchiladas which were also great! Excellent tasting food. The chips and salsa are great and they sell bags of the chips there. I like that they play Mexican music instead of radio crap. On tap or bottle beers are 5.00 at Happy hour, which is Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 3 pm to close, but also on Taco Tuesday and Thirsty Thursday. We will definitely be back. I might mention that my husband and I are real food snobs- not that it has to be fancy but that it has to be fresh, clean, and tasty. 😁

I am a huge fan of their chicken tacos. The best taco Tuesday. The cheese and lettuce is so fresh . And now they have two locations.

Great food. Great service. Chill atmosphere. The only thing that can make it better is when they start serving alcohol 🍸 and I was told they will be in the near future. As for the beer lovers, you're in luck 😜

Very delicious burritos. And I love their fresh made guac. Chips are good too. I like the habanero hot sauce but beware if you don’t like spicy hot sauce The service is very good and their menu has many options. Can’t wait to go back. Plenty of parking around this location and the food was made quickly. We went for breakfast

Chela’s is such an amazing spot for authentic Mexican food. They have great deals on Tuesday’s & Thursday’s, and their food is always so fresh and tasty. Jose always offers such great service and we love going there!

Most disappointing burrito in years.

$16 for the ribeye burrito, served with tough and stringy meat. The chipotle barbecue marinade on it is delicious, but they really need to buy better quality meat at that price. The burrito was also built with all the ingredients in separate sections, so you could only get a bite of all guacamole or all cabbage, never a balanced bite.

Service and atmosphere were great. Would have loved the place if the food were better. 2/5, wouldn't recommend.

The vibe is super cute, reminded me of a beach shop in Mexico including Mexican music playing and soccer on the television.

Food was a little disappointing, a bit on the bland side and pricey. Portions are very large.

They do offer several Mexican beers ( bottles and tap) and sodas.

Laura working the counter was awesome, super friendly!

Went to Chelas on Pico on Sunday March 23rd, placed a carnitas burrito order with the woman behind the counter, I told her I wanted a breakfast burrito with Carnitas eggs, cheese, and cilantro, She was confused as to what to charge me because I had made a custom order. After about five minutes, she figured out the bill., I Explicitly stated no onions, no potatoes no rice and no beans. When I got home and opened up the wrapper, the burrito had eggs, Cheese, beans, but no cheese and very little carnitas. I was very disappointed since I did not get the order that I had placed. I’ve been going to Kayla‘s quite often but now I am somewhat conflicted if I should go back again.

The food and the service is always great!

Rib eye tacos are absolutely amazing!!!! The sauce is a smokey chipotle and it hits all the right taste buds. It's spicy good!
The chicken crispy tacos have lots of flavor perfect for the non spicy lovers. Highly recommend.

Chelas has THE Best Mexican food! Everything is delicious, but a few of my favorites are the carnitas, Bean & Cheese Burrito, guacamole, Asada Fries and Breakfast Burritos! Seriously, the best tacos in town! I'm so glad now there are 2 restaurant locations in San Clemente.
