Walking in felt like I didn’t belong til 1 of the host sat us. Server Andres was excellent and his assistant’s (chip lady & bus man) very helpful. The food was bland but good size. The atmosphere is beautiful but needs dusting in areas the staff doesn’t get. Wish my taco was NOT on top of my enchilada.

This is the cantina on the peninsula you’ve been looking for! Plenty of tables, fresh chips and salsa when you sit, Mexican beers on tap. An extensive menu and daily specials make this a step above your favorite neighborhood taqueria.

A little pricier for Mexican food, but the meals are quite filling. The venue is quite nice with comfortable chairs and the food has good flavor. They are known for their margaritas which are reasonably priced around $12-13 and their complementary chips and salsa had a large portion.

Small parking lot — fits about 6 cars. Otherwise the area has plenty of parking. Love the vibe and the decor of the restaurant. Upon reviewing the menu, the food is on the expensive side for mexican food but the proportions are huge. I had a light breakfast before this and the expresso burrito i ordered was too heavy for me lol

This is a place I go pretty often. The cocktails are awesome and they don’t hold back on the alcohol. The food is very good. And if you don’t want to miss a game on TV. Then your in luck.

Nice place. The food was good. Only complaint is that there are no prices on any of the drinks. Server had to go to the computer to look up each price. I want to know what I’m paying for that marguerita before I order so there are no surprises.

Went to Celia’s in Burlingame because we had enjoyed the Daly City location. Food was good, but not quite as good as the Daly City location. Staff were friendly and helpful without hovering. Enjoyed the chicken chimichanga platter and my friend enjoyed the a la cart burrito.

Best in the Bay. My wife has been treated at Stanford Med since the first of the year. We’ve searched for good Mexican Food each of our 8-9 trips over. Celia’s, by far is the best. Their house,(on the rocks) margaritas are top notch and they’re strong enough to actually taste the liquor in them. Great cocktail. The food is original Mexican fare anyone will recognize. My beef chili relleno and pork tamal were fantastic. My wife’s Asada tacos were superb. Unlike many Mexican places who charge for them over there, the basket of chips is free, well made and bottomless. The salsa is homemade and the best around. We won’t go anywhere else.

I have been to Celia’s once before, and I got the most basic Tostada in existence. It was good, but I never felt like I gave Celia’s a chance to impress. Well, today is my 10th anniversary with my partner so we revisited a place with fond memories. This time I got the Sopitos with chicken and let me tell you, I don’t think I’ve ever had a better dish at a Mexican Restaurant. It was beautifully presented, perfectly cooked and delivered faster than I could have hoped for such a large order. The restaurant itself is well decorated, well lit and invitingly colored. The staff were friendly and quick to assist in all manner of our dining experience. I’ll definitely come back again!
