Celia's Restaurant

A friend recommended Celia's. The Special Quesadilla was really good and the shredded beef taco was delicious. Will definitely stop again when in town.

This food is disgusting. I don’t like saying that because food is food but this is the worst fake Mexican food I’ve ever had. I ordered a shrimp plate & it literally had 2 pieces of shrimp. They’re very stingy, small portions even with the beans. They also gave us a Chile relleno & it tasted like it was frozen & it was so mushy. Honestly a waste of money, I feel like the good reviews are from people that don’t know real Mexican food & they think it’s the best. I’d be embarrassed to serve these type of plates.

Hubby and I had a wonderful breakfast here. We have odd food intolerances (gf, night shade free and vegetarian) and easily found options on the menu. We love supporting family businesses and quirky places and Cecilia's ticks those boxes. Cecilia, who started the business with her husband in 1994 is still running the restaurant, and her, along with her twin sister and cousin gave us great service and conversation.

I had the chili relleno dinner. Everything was quite good. The salsa was a bit more spicy than the average in AZ but it had good flavor so I didn't mind the sniffles. Even the beans and flour tortilla were good. I initially put 4 stars but changed it to 5 when I realized the only negative I could find was that the rice was just average. Service was good. I never even asked for a refill of my iced tea it just magically happened :-)

Delicious spot for lunch on the way home from San Diego. Cecelia (Chica) our waitress was so friendly, attentive & helpful. The special Quesadilla was an amazing fried dough pocket filled with cheese, just heavenly! I ordered the chiles rellenos, my hubby ordered the machaca with tortilla. Both were extremely flavorful. We ended the meal with Bunuelos, deep fried dough with honey, cinnamon and ice cream on top. Wow!!! Amazing lunch and there were no leftovers, we ate it all. The staff was quick to clear dishes and then clean the tables and vacuum after each customer left. Bathrooms clean & tidy also. Can't wait to go back again. Try Celia's Restaurant, you won't be disappointed.
