Wow!! I was thoroughly blown away by how tasty this restaurant was!! So we ordered the birria taco plate, the birria dinner plate, and one goat birria taco! Fire I mean by far one of, if not the best birria I've ever had! That's saying a lot being that I'm from Los Angeles. The service was good and it's a cute ambiance! Definitely will be coming by!
I placed a pick up order and they were very friendly on the phone. Very humble and great service when I got there as well. I normally only get tacos from Chela's or Birria. It was my first time getting a burrito and it did not disappoint. Flavorful and enormous. Enough for lunch and dinner. Would have posted a pic but it didn't stand a chance after the first bite.
absolutely love this place. food is outstanding. service is great. ambiance is beautiful. 11 out of 10 highly recommend.
I don't typically venture out beyond what I know when going to the Horseshoe Casino but this time I did. So here's my review of Chela's with some pics for your viewing pleasure. First off I was impressed with the cleanliness and decor inside the restaurant... even the bathrooms were nice and clean!!! Keep in mind I did visit shortly after they opened so things could be different later in the day. As for the food... I kept it simple and order 3 QuesoBirra Tacos and I'm honestly glad I didn't order any sides as these tacos were definitely loaded with meat and were definitely filling. The tacos were delicious and the consommé definitely added a depth of flavor as well. On each taco I tried 3 different salsa, 2 that are served in plastic bottles and one that was served with the complimentary chips & salsa. All 3 were very tasty!!! The service was spot on and they truly make you feel welcome when you walk in. Again... this was shortly after opening so please keep that in mind. If I had any negative comments or should I say constructive criticism it would be this... I wish they made their chips in house. Nothing beats a freshly made tortilla chip and any restaurant willing to go through the work of making a good Birra should also be willing to make a house made chip. The salsa served with the chips was very tasty but in a container that was too small to be able to scoop some on a chip... so maybe serve that salsa in a small bowl/container? I also wish the Quesobirra Tacos were more cheesy but that's a personal preference. I will definitely be coming here again when I find myself at another WSOPC Event at the Shoe.
Delish quesatacos and they don't skimp on the meat or cheese. The staff were all friendly and my stepmom loved their cucumber juice. 3 people ate and were full for less than $30 (like $29.94). It's a keeper
