“taco was absolutely amazing! The flavors were perfectly balanced, the meat was tender and well-seasoned, and every bite was packed with flavor. The tortilla was fresh and held everything together perfectly. You can really tell care went into making it definitely one of the best tacos I’ve had“

“I LOVE her beef soup, the broth is amazing. Dine-in, or carry out you're getting authentic Mexican food. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Stopped by this taco truck and everything was so good! Fresh food, great flavor, and fast service. Definitely worth trying if you’re craving good tacos!“

“I ordered the steak torta on my first visit and it was incredible fresh bread, tender steak, and a really balanced flavor all the way through. I went back the next week for the steak tacos, and they were just as impressive. The corn tortillas were cooked perfectly with that light crisp you want, and the steak was seasoned just right.

The red sauce has a good kick, so if you’re sensitive to heat you’ll feel it, but the flavor makes it totally worth it. Service was quick, prices were fair, and the food has been consistently excellent. I’ll definitely be going back to try more of the menu.“

“delicious fresh food, cooked right in front of you. I love this place!!“

“We found this place on our way to Raleigh, NC from Chicago. Stopped here after reading reviews online. TRUST THE REVIEWS that say this place is good...IT IS GOOD! We just moved to the Chicago area from South Texas, so we know good Mexican food and this place does not disappoint! If you are anywhere near Gary Indiana, you have to stop in to Chela's. It's not fancy at all, but is very clean and the prices are good. We had the Birria Tacos, chips and salsa and several different meat tacos. Then, on our way back from North Carolina, we stopped in again! My fiance thinks this is the best Mexican food outside of Texas. THAT'S saying something! We can't wait to go back!“

“They were super friendly and the food was delicious 😋“

“Places like this will be over looked if you not from the area. This food is great and service is ok, but the hole in the wall spot will have people like me not returning because how are you investing into your business. Why not fix up the place when you are making good money. I don't like investing in places like this.. it looks a mess inside and out.“

“Stopped by this taco truck and everything was so good! Fresh food, great flavor, and fast service. Definitely worth trying if you’re craving good tacos!“

“If you haven't tried Tere's Mexican food, you need to! There is a limited but excellent menu. They have one menu item that I have seen nowhere else but here: deep fried quesadillas. It's not what you imagine.. it's better than that! For a unique experience of authentic Mexican flavor, try one ASAP! Also, they serve tamales on every day they operate.“

“great food been eating here and at market city flea for over 10 years, great people“

“The food is great. It is my go-to place for Mexican food. It's very hard to find good Mexican food near my home. Now, the young lady who takes the orders always has an attitude, for some reason, regardless of how nice and polite I am to her. I do wonder how that impacts their business.“

“They expect you to pay them to be rude. The woman at the front taking the orders needs a different job that does not require her to deal with the public because her communication skills absolutely SUCKS. No worries they have lost other customers and just lost another one and anybody that I can tell. They are definitely not the El Norteno of old so sad after decades“
