My boyfriend and I stopped by Saturday for a quick drink while waiting for our order at hook fish. We sat at the bar area and the bartender and staff were very friendly! I got the michelada and he got the carajillo. Both were delicious and strong! The michelada glass is huge lol as big as my heart. They offer complimentary chips and salsa and the salsas were very tasty. Brunch menu looked good, would deff come back to try!

A family favorite, and not just my family's favorite, proven by their ample crowds on Wednesday's Familia Nights. We come by at least twice a month, and love the ambiance, food and most importantly, service. From the management to every single service member the team at Celia's endeavors to ensure you enjoy every visit to their restaurant. They have a welcoming vibe, with comfy seating and a large dining room. They easily accommodate children's requests and the drink specials are a true treat these days. We highly recommend this family run establishment. The picadillo is especially yummy! And, did you know, they also host amazing, easy-to-plan parties?! Thank you all for working so hard to serve the Sunset and for providing such a wonderful gathering place for the community. See you soon.

YUMM!!!! Always perfect Gracias' ! I've only ordered from Postmates... Many many, many times!! Their Tortilla Soup, scrumptious!! Pro tip, add cheese & chicken + flour torts!!! OMG delicious chips & salsa !! Perfection. Crispy tacos & enchiladas. I can't get enough!!!

We are unlikely to visit this location as we are not local. Our experience wasn't great but the owner reached out assuring me they had fixed the issues which were service oriented. Because of this I changed my rating. The food at tables around us looked awesome.

This is the greatest restaurant on earth. Four Michelin Stars. Delicious French fries and sopapillas. Warm Mexican decor. Kind servers. Also Phil is great! I remember when we were both in high school, he'd work there.

I was strolling around this neighborhood after lunch and randomly hearing Ska music playing. (I hear music, I go!) Realizing that there was a celebration highlighting four.20 happening, I walked around the neighborhood to kill time and see what was going on. When I saw the sign on the street about the celebratory specials, I figured, 'what the hey!'" And walked myself up in there. I wasn't hungry or even particularly thirsty, just killing time before my flight and a $3 beer is worth a few minutes I think. I'm not sure if anyone was sitting down to eat, but the bar was definitely on one! I took a seat and the experience only went up from there. I ordered a $3 Tecate (class all the way) and the bartender dropped a basket of hot chips and salsa in front of me. (The chips were so good!! Super fresh.) Despite being a bubbly person and having a great job that allows me to be my friendly self, I usually like to enjoy my peace + quiet when dining out. Well, that didn't happen on this trip and I'm glad it didn't. As soon as I sat down, the friendly conversation from the bartender and a sweet couple at the bar began and we were laughing like old friends within minutes. Over time, more folks came in and I loved seeing them all connect and chat about the bar and their lives. I felt like I was in an episode of Cheers. Not a full dining experience, hell, not even an experience featuring a top shelf cocktail. But - a great experience that was well worth the $3 charge.
