This place has pretty good food, especially the carne asada, but it's so pricy that I end up splitting a meal. The mariachi on Thursday nights can be fun or stupid, depending on who you are.

I'm always hesitant to go to Mexican restaurants seeing as its hard to beat my grandmothers authentic Mexican food. But boy, was I glad I did. The food is magnificent and the service unsurpassed. Not to mention the wide array of different drinks and tequila's available in a lively bar. Whether it's a family dinner or a first date, this place is suitable for any occasion. I highly recommend to anyone looking for great food and friendly service.. Just don't tell my grandma! Pros: Authentic Cuisine, Service

For my taste, this spot is ok. I prefer the other Celia's in San Mateo. The service here can be a little slow at times, but for the most part everyone is really polite, and the food is a B-. The bar area can get pretty packed when games are on... I usually order the Tostada Salad, but the ground beef was REALLY greasy! It turned the tortilla shell mushy.. it wasn't that great, even with Tapatio. Their enchiladas are great tho, I've never had a problem with those. P.S. the margaritas and the bean and cheese dip get an A!!

GO TO CHEVY'S. NUFF SAID THE BETTER. THE PLACE IS DATED LOOKING, MEXICAN STYLE SETTING, CURRENT OWNER TOOK OVER THE EXSISTING MEXICAN RESTAURANT. FOOD IS POOR TO AVERAGE, THE PLACE NEEDS A SHOT OF IMPROVEMENT, IE, CARPET, PAINT JOB, ETC. YEARS AGO THIS PLACE WAS THE BOMB FOR AFTERWORK DRINKING AND DINNER, BUT THAT WAS THEN AND THIS IS NOW. THE BAR IS A HOLLOW SHELL OF ITS ONCE HAPPENING PLACE. Pros: None to report Cons: Food is fair to average

First off, I have never done a dinner at this place. I have gone after work with some friends to the bar. We go about once a week and love their happy hour. Sit in the bar and get a free sampler plate with quesdilla, taquitos, nachos and guacomle, all in addition to the normal chips and salsa. How can they do it?! Well considering how long we stay and purchase it's probably easy. I highly recommend gettin some people togethr and going into the bar during happy hour. Get some drinks, chat about and njoy life there. All the servers and the bartenders are great. Pros: prices, happy hour, service

I USED to dine here about every month until the service just got so bad. I've visited 3 other Celia's and this one used to be the best of the 3. The food is still better than most Mexican chains and comparable with family Mexican restaurants, but the service has consistently gotten worse. Be prepared for rude service and long waits. The servers will ignore you even when you flag them down. My friends and I have since opted to do take out instead. Still, we've had bad service. Apparently they started charging $4 for to go salsa!! My last order was taken very rudely. The manager argued with us about getting salsa for free, as we've gotten previously and was more interested in tracking down and lecturing who gave it to us for free, than bringing out our food. Pros: good parking, salsa Cons: service , drinks, manager
