About Chula's Bar and Grill

Chula's Bar and Grill is a popular spot known for fresh food and great drinks. The atmosphere is lively, with live music adding to the fun vibe. Customers enjoy warm chips served with flavorful salsa, and the food is made to order with friendly staff checking in regularly. The steak burrito is large and delicious, and the carnitas tacos are a staple on the menu. The rice and beans taste fresher than usual, and the Mexican music creates a welcoming ambiance. The ceviche tostada remains a favorite dish. The restaurant can accommodate gluten, dairy, and soy allergies. The chicken/shrimp fajitas are delicious, and the shrimp diablo can be made hotter for those who like spice. The owner often comes out to greet guests, creating a friendly environment. Customers have praised the place for its clean setting, reasonable prices, and tasty dishes like steak fajitas, quesabirria tacos, and steak tacos with flavorful meat and fixings. The margaritas are outstanding, served in plastic glasses but still very enjoyable. The chips and spicy salsa are popular, and the nachos with chorizo are highly recommended. Many visitors love the hot platter with chile relleno served with rice and beans, a rare treat nowadays. While most find the food delicious and the service friendly, some suggestions for improvement include offering an avocado salsa verde that isn’t too hot, and providing pinto refried beans instead of black beans. Overall, Chula's Bar and Grill is a hidden gem with some of the best Mexican food in the area, making it a place worth returning to.

Food and service are both excellent. Greeted with a smile, food is made to order, so no microwaved dish......I had chicken/shrimp fajitas the first visit and they were DELICIOUS!! Went back second time with a relative, got the shrimp diablo......should have taken the server's advice about the heat, but I didn't, therefore I suffered 🥲 the consequence......she was awesome though and had the heat taken down for me. Owner came out to greet guests and was super sweet.
