Chela's Tacos

The tacos were good but I was disappointed with the lack of chorizo in my chorizo con papa taco. Anywho, the portions were large. And service was very prompt.

Living in a city that offers hundreds of different Hispanic cuisines, it can be difficult in finding that diamond amust such a rut. CHELAS TACOS may be one of the best places for tacos of any kind! The egg was moist and the bacon was flavorful. And the Al Pastor? HOLY SMOKES - one of the best prepared pork I've had in ages! The only critique was that the tables weren't totally clean and their scratch made salsa had an almost sweet tang to it? Definitely not my cup of tea for tacos sauces but my gf definitely enjoyed it! I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a change up in your taco Go-To's.

Literally the best Taco I've ever had! Get the Cilantro Chicken Taco with the green salsa. It's AMAZING!!!

Stopped here after a day at the Witte Museum. I've been to the food truck before, long ago when it was parked on the corner of UTSA blvd. And Utex blvd. The restaurant was a bit busy at 11am on a Saturday but we were greeted right away and the line to order went by quickly. I didn't know what I wanted but took their suggestion of Cilantro Chicken plate and W O W! It was amazing, super juicy and full of flavor! The prices weren't bad either!I will totally be back!

O Chela's, Chela's... wherefore art thou Chela's...? Don't mind me... I just got done watching that horrible Leonardo version of Romeo & Juliet and Chela's popped up in my head. I don't believe there is ANY correlation between the two whatsoever. I'm weird like that.My go-to at Chela's? The shrimp taco on corn. Plump & satisfying accompanied with thin slices of grilled sweet red onion, white onion, green bell pepper, and whatever other flavorful goodness is incorporated within this luscious mix. I've tried other tacos they offer like the gringas, carnita, asada, & barbacoa but the tacos de camaron are my staple. Service has always been friendly and the prices are fair for the amount you get (not to mention the full on flavor that's included).

I don't know if this is the same food truck that used to be parked outside of University Oaks by UTSA back in 2012, but if it is their food is straight fire and their prices are even better. Great value and never been disappointed unless they aren't open

Ok, so I ordered an overpriced taco from Chela's at the Block a couple of weeks ago. It was $10 and I was told it was pretty big, so I went for it. It was pretty strange actually. It seemed to consist of a HUGE chunk of some sort of fried cheese. I can't recall exactly what else was in it, but it really wasn't very good. Given my overall experience with Chela's since 2011, I will not ding them too badly. Everything else is good and pretty consistent. I just wanted to let y'all now that they missed it with this item. I wish I remember what it was called - but I can't find it on their menu.

Reviewing: Shrimp Taco and Chicken Cilantro Taco (not recommend)First of all, this food truck is in a good area because it's near UTSA and at The Block with plenty of other trucks around so there's a great atmosphere. Secondly, the people working at the truck are really friendly. But honestly, those are the only two things going for this place.FOOD: First of all, the tortillas are no good. They do not taste home made and have the equivalence of a very cheap, stale grocery store bought tortilla. My two flour tortillas for my tacos came out hard and crispy in not a good way. Moving on, the shrimp in the SHRIMP TACO also did not taste fresh and some of them looked like old shrimp dried out. Lastly, I heard many good things about the CHICKEN CILANTRO and was really excited to try it, but reality didn't meet expectations. Honestly the cilantro sauce was pretty good but the chicken was so dry underneath that I couldn't even appreciate the sauce. The red sauce on the side was also very watery, but the green sauce did have a better spicy kick.PRICE: I paid $8 for two tacos. This truck has good reviews so I don't know whether I ordered wrong or they were having an off day, but my experience was sadly not very good.

When I go to The Block, Chela's Tacos is the only food truck I stop at. I've tried a bit of everything from the tacos to nachos, it's pretty good. Prices should be a lot cheaper though. $10 for nachos? I could get a lot more nachos at Chachos for the same price. Tip- if you come on Taco Tuesday's it's $1 for mini tacos.

Awesome food and excellent service .... Done both the taco truck and in house. Both are Amazon g
