We have searched high and low for the last 10 months for the best Mexican food in San Clemente and we’ve had great experiences BUT THIS , BY FAR, is the absolute GREATEST FRESHEST TASTIEST MEXICAN FOOD… hands down!!!!

Love businesses that are loyal to there customers and believe that customers come first! Been visiting this restaurant a few times a month, Went in on a Friday night and they had a DJ music , treats and champagne and beer to celebrate their one year anniversary. The place was very busy, the customer service outstanding, the food hot, fresh, excellent, to top it off place was very clean. Thank you to the owner for valuing us- your customer. It doesn’t go unnoticed, We appreciate it as we spread the word of a great place to eat.

Hidden gem! Chorizo breakfast burrito was amazing! Very cute atmosphere inside. Customer service was on point as well!

I had lunch at Chelas including their steak burrito and a coke for about $18. Nice decorations, friendly staff, and clean. I thought the prices were really high for what is basically a fast food Mexican restaurant. The burrito was good but relatively small for its $15 price.

We got take out dinner here tonight for the first time. We had the delicious fish tacos and the chicken salad with its yummy lime dressing! Both items were good size and they have good happy hour deals (2 fish tacos for $6). Another customer had a good sized burrito and said it was super tasty! Casual cute place inside a few tables outside. Beer and wine coming in the fall.

In town from Arizona, and ordered some burritos. The Grilled Ribeye burrito had very good flavor, as did the MVP burrito. We also ordered a Chile verde burrito wet and it was incredible. Loved the flavor of all the different components to the burrito, AND the salsas were great!

I looked at what people were eating. The tacos definitely looked authentic and the place smelled of deliciousness… so I stayed and enjoyed a plate of chicken taquitos. Nice presentation and they were delicious!

I had an hour to kill and it was lunchtime, so I walked around some food places and walked into Chelas to take a look, and one look was all it took! I looked at what people were eating. The tacos definitely looked authentic and the place smelled of deliciousness… so I stayed and enjoyed a plate of chicken taquitos. Nice presentation and they were delicious! (I posted a photo) Service was good too!

Great fresh food. Generous portions. Music a bit too loud for inside, but outdoor seating avail. Will be close to perfect once their liquor license comes through.
