★★★★★ 5.0 Norma Colon · Nov 2025

Food was delicious price was right plate was full even included a salad 🥗 and the service was very good. Very friendly felt right at home we will be back when we are in the area.

★★★★★ 5.0 Caroline DeBrota · Jan 2026

Chill with a large space to sit. All the food is prepared and ready at the counter, and you can ask for whatever you want on your plate. None of the foods were labeled but the server was extremely friendly and helped us out. Absolutely loved the goat and pernil with the rice and plantains. The servings are ENORMOUS and great value--two of us shared a plate and were stuffed! Nice music playing, too. Parking across the street.

★★★★★ 5.0 A-Hole In The Wall · Sep 2025

I don’t think I have ever had a bad meal at Celia’s, and I was coming here before Obama was in office, so that should tell you everything you need to know. Oxtail, pernil, ribs, goat, chicharron, beef patties, pastelitos, maduros, mangu, rice, salad… you name it, it is GOOD here. Cash only. Dine in is best to have it while it’s hot but they gotta lower the music. It’s a restaurant, not a club. Legit my only complaint. Other than that no notes.

This place was great. Food was fresh and good, service was with a smile from everyone and great, and nice lil cozy place with good atmosphere. This was my first time trying this place out but will definitely be back.

★★★★★ 5.0 Sara Stevens · Nov 2025

I didnt go in person but the food i ordered was delicious! And for the price i was happy with the quantity too. I got yellow rice with chicken stew and a side of spaghetti for my son. He devoured the spaghetti and im devouring the rice and chicken. I definitely will order again!
