Chelino's Mexican Restaurant

Service was good, fast and friendly.Food presentation laking but tasty, beers are ice cold!

Great margaritas and Mexican food. I desperately needed a Mexican food fix. I got the enchilada platter with shredded beef. The rice and beans were excellent, accompanied by one of their margaritas. It was a great meal.

I hope you know what I mean when I say this spot has small town post-church Mexican restaurant vibes. From the kitschy decor, to the chairs that squeak when you scoot in, to the color palette of the various melamine plates your food will be delivered on. It was an unexpectedly nostalgic experience given that I haven't been allowed in a church in over a decade. Complimentary chips with thin salsa & light-yellow queso to give you something to do while waiting for your frosted mug of Modelo Especial with salt & lime to be delivered are always appreciated. Nothing incredible, but another characteristic contributing to my temporal displacement into my childhood. Gang, all of this nostalgia was blown to bits by the cavalcade of flavors that were to come: the quesabirria tacos. This dish smacked me out of my childish stupor, screaming "Hey dumbass, pay attention! This is new! These drippy bastards are about to physiologically alter your taste buds!" And that they did - it may be the single best Mexican dish I've ever had the good fortune to try. I cannot recommend them enough, though if your digestive tract isn't what it once was on Sundays long past you may wish to toss a Pepcid back before you arrive.

Stopped by chelinos as this restaurant chain is a local one and I had never been to this location the location that was closer to where I live I think was put out of business due to the pandemic. I don't really know but the last time I went it was not a pleasant experience when all the times in the past we're usually pretty good.The Edmond location was the good old chelinos that Oklahomans have known and loved. The salsa was nice and fresh. Guacamole was flavorful and not just avacodas mashed up. My wife got a enchilada plate and a side of the bracho beans. I got a grandeNacho. Mine wasn't bad but I think I would have preferred fajita meat instead of the ground beef. This might have been a menu item but I didn't see it on the menu. Overall though not bad. The one negative was that the staff seemed preoccupied with going over to a table in back part of the dining room and talking and working on like rolling silverware etc. i completely understand the need for this but customer attention should be their highest priority. Sorry I don't have photos my iPhone crashed but I'll make sure and get some next time

The manager was very rude to us when we asked a question, even started yelling at us because we asked him to look at our margaritas. They looked like cloudy water. I've had them numerous times before and knew something was off. The waiter even said they didn't look right. But this bald guy that sits behind the register, I assume is manager, came over and yelled at us saying nothing is wrong they are made the same way for years and no one has ever questioned it. Well, I've eaten at Chelino's for 20 years and I won't be any longer.

Great place for casual dining! The staff were friendly. Food was hot, fresh and super yummy. Will definitely return, and highly recommend!

Bad food like really bad and the restraunt is insanely dirty and the cup wasn't even clean!

Super solid spot. Staff was great, very attentive and very invested in giving you a great experience! Great variety of menu items and the complimentary salsa and queso for your chips was better than you'll find at most places that you would pay extra for those items. My only gripe was that the tamale I ordered was super dry and the cheese on my taco and tostada was just normal cheddar and not more of a traditional blend. My wife's enchiladas on the other hand were delicious and made well! All in all the food was well seasoned, came in good portions, and was served with a smile. I'd like to see them offer aguas frescas, but the fried ice cream made up for it. We'll more than likely come back and try other menu items next time!

The problem is my wife and I eat out together and usually can't finish two full meals and end up wasting food. We will usually order one big meal, for instance Chelinos has a 3 item combo. So we would've gotten 2 enchiladas with a taco and rice and beans. My wife doesn't like the tacos so that would be mine and she likes rice and not beans so I would get the beans and she would eat the rice and an enchilada. We can't save money and have to waste food here because they have a "no share" policy. Kind of a ridiculous policy. Service isn't that good and they don't care about wasting food and also don't care about you saving money. I get it's a business, still kind of extreme. Also, I ordered no tomatoes on my taco it came w/tomato's. They took it back to the kitchen removed the tomato's and brought back the same taco a soggy taco thinking it would satisfy.

Bad service. As a manager you should always lead by example..My family and my baby were sick (vomiting/diarrhea) from the chicken quesadillas not being thoroughly cooked. We called and complained to the manager, and he tried to rush me off the phone also said he needed some kind of proof that we were actually sick from the food. Caesar didn't want to give me the corporate number. He also stated he doubt we'd get a refund just from being sick. He said he'd call himself which we all know is a lie because you're trying to cover up the fact that you messed up and you don't wanna take the initiative to make it right.We've eaten at multiple locations and this is the only one we've had a problem with. By far the worst !Why be nasty to a customer you'd want to return back to your restaurant ? Have the day you deserve Caesar :)
