Let's start with the best thing about Celia's. Salsa!This is currently my favorite salsa in the area. It's got a lovely roasted tomato flavor with just enough garlic and kick. Delicate, but bold.House made chips are also very excellent here. Chips are very important and these guys know it.For lunch I had the seafood salad. It was good, but not amazing. But they were generous with the crab and shrimp and the price was good. I just thought it could use some more pizazz. It was pretty basic. Good service, nice atmosphere and decor, and clean bathrooms.I will come back for dinner, especially in the summer when the patios would be ideal.

I will never go here again... IF I decide to go back, I'll go to San Bruno...I ordered enchiladas for the first time ever...(I usually only order the chicken tortilla soup)... I took a bite and I almost broke my freaking tooth on part of a piece of plastic from something...The waiter barely apologized... like he just took the piece of plastic to show his coworker/boss and I wasn't comped for the meal. They just made me the same exact meal which I didn't even eat... and I ended up paying for my meal and leaving. no tip because why? the manager didn't even come out... rude.

This location has the best Chicken Tortilla Soup--no other Celia's makes it quite like they do. However, the restaurant's shortcomings lie with the hostesses. They are quite unprofessional.Every time I order, I specify no cheese due to my lactose intolerance. Even when I include this in my online instructions or mention it over the phone, they still get it wrong. It's incredibly frustrating, and I always have to double-check my food because they seem unable to do their jobs correctly.The hostesses are so unprofessional that every time I walk in, they are busy goofing around and flirting with other staff instead of focusing on their work. If they paid more attention, perhaps they wouldn't make as many mistakes with orders. I've noticed that when I place an online order in the evening, they either don't receive it or have "accidentally canceled" it. The excuse I always hear is that "the system is new and they weren't aware an order was placed." They've been saying this for a year now, and at this point, it just seems like a lack of competence.

Update to last review. Food was real tasty and service was great. I was pleasantly surprised this time. The place needs a serious renovation though.

Update to my last review - we came to Celia's for a weekend lunch and had a much better experience than our first time around. I ordered the queso fundido and ceviche tostada and both were delicious. We asked for corn tortillas on the side of the queso and it was great to fold the oozy, hot cheese into the warm tortilla and eat it like a mini cheese quesadilla. The ceviche was very citrusy and refreshing. I washed everything down with a super margarita which was not watered down at all, yay! My husband ordered an express burrito which was HUGE. It was easily enough for three meals, so he had plenty of leftovers. The kids got some nuggets and fries as well as a burrito with rice and beans. I'm not a fan of the seasoning they use on their fries but at least the kids were willing to eat them. Complimentary chips and salsa. Chips are fresh and warm, the salsa has a kick to it, it would have been nice to have a milder option.

This restaurant was quite a good find. My friend and I were looking to eat at a sit down Mexican restaurant, other than the ones we had already tried. We decided on Celia's based on our hangout location at the time. I was quite surprised at how nice the restaurant and its staff was. The place seemed quite hidden. If it wasn't for the navigation app, I wouldn't have located the place. The taste of their food was amazing and the portions were quite generously sized. I am so glad we decided to give this particular Celia's location a try. There will definitely be more lunch or dinner outings to this eatery! Thank you for providing such great food, wonderful ambiance and professional service.

Came by for a work holiday get together on a weeknight. We were seated downstairs. There's 3 levels. We were a group of 12 and had the entire downstairs to ourselves. Which meant the waiter took a while to take our order. A few times we were tired of waiting so we went to the bar to get drinks, another time up to the hostess to get a waiter to take our order and once again up to the hostess to pay the bill. There was no bathroom downstairs but we could definitely smell the bathroom where we sat. It was very unpleasant. The drink menu at the bar has no prices whatsoever. Best to ask for prices prior to ordering if you don't want any surprises. Our group got a pitcher of margarita - $42.95 and a pitcher of Poloma - $52.25 with an automatic service charge/tip of 18%. It had a decent amount of alcohol in it. Not super strong and not super light either. Even on a weeknight there was a mariachi band.I only came for drinks. My colleagues said their food was either good or just ok. Portions were large. But ultimately we all agreed we would have our holiday dinner elsewhere next year.

The food was good. I love coming here for the enchiladas. Black beans always good. Rice was delicious but they have very little compared to other times. My husband said carne asada was good as well. Flan was delicious. I like this Celia's because they are quick and the wait staff are friendly. This was on a Tuesday afternoon and it was busy. We sat in booth which is a little old but hey food was good.

Maybe by putting some happy hour prices on your happy hour menu... and it would help if the waiter brought the right thing you ordered

My husband and I arrived around 6:10 and we were seated promptly. We placed our order and then waited...and waited. Our waiter kept saying he would check on the food others have been seated and their food was served. We finally walked out at 7:10 and ended up at chick-fil-a.
