We had been meaning to try this place, but unfortunately, we won’t be returning. It’s by far the most overpriced restaurant I’ve visited.
To start, every item on the menu is priced 30% over what I would expect, my kid’s soft drink was $5, and every taco had an additional $1 charge just for cheese. On top of that, there was a credit card fee. As we were leaving, we noticed a beer special that would have been nearly half the price had I ordered a different size. When our chips ran out, they didn’t offer to refill them, just took them away.
Overall, it feels like this place is more focused on squeezing as much money as possible out of customers rather than offering good value.
The food itself was decent, but it’s certainly not worth the steep prices.

they charge for a 2nd basket of chips. food was average. never going back
I am SO glad we've come across Chula's not too long ago. We had walked by it time and time again and finally we walked in one day to test it. I wish we would have done so earlier!
I believe ownership changed a year ago - the food is FANTASTIC. My better half has a gluten/dairy/soy allergy and they have been able to accommodate her with so many different different foods!
The carnitas tacos are a staple for our Tuesday nights. The ceviche tostadas are outstanding! Even the rice and beans taste fresher to me here versus other places.
I have posted in a local forum about our experience and it seems that the previous ownership was not as well-received, and a few people didn't realize that a new family had taken over. I highly recommend anyone that loves good Mexican food to give it a shot!
Dietary restrictions: My girlfriend has a gluten/dairy/soy allergy and they can accommodate her, for this we are grateful!

The food was gross and expensive. I got Steak and Al pastor tacos and they both were horrible. very cheap meat and had to wait an additional 20 min at the restaurant for my pick up order to be ready. Al Chile Mexican Grill is wayyy better and close by!

Felt like standard Tex-Mex kind of place, we waited for a host for a good 5-7 minutes, and eventually the owner or helper took is to our table, and brought out mediocre chips with ok enough salsa and said our server would be right out. 15 minutes later still not a soul. Table next to us who sat down before us even commented "I think they forgot about us". After a few more minutes we just left.
Not sure what was going on. But service was definitely crap. Also 3% charge on credit cards, FYI

We were excited to try Chula's, unfortunately we never received service. We were seated and two waitresses walked by us numerous times. After 15 minutes we got up and left. Disappointing.

This is my favorite Mexican food in the area. The hot sauce is actually hot and it's delicious.
