Good clean restaurant the food here tastes very good I love the taquitos here . Also the staff are very friendly here

Best Mexican Cuisine ever! I've been going to CELINDAS for years! The owner is very passionate about the cooking and so so friendly! We moved to Arizona and miss CELINDAS terribly! You gotta go!!

Stopped in because we were hungry, drove by, and said why not. Caldo de Res was absolutely delicious and the fajitas were too!

AMAZING FOOD, AMAZING AND GENEROUS OWNER! Nicest restaurant to be at and enjoy food with great people that will take care of you and make you feel at home. Order anything on the menu and you won't be disappointed because everything is made with care, quality and love!

Amazing special today. This was a melt in your mouth sea bass that I would gladly have again every day if I could. Cooked perfectly and the salad was a perfect match.

Amazing experience here today at Celinda's Mexican Restaurant. Party of two on a Friday around 1 pm. Inside and outside seating available! Parking is a bit limited. One small lot in front, on the gas station side and a bigger lot one on the back. Clean restaurant, very well organized, very clean bathrooms. Excellent choice of decor, great scene (All about racing, fast cars and bikes.) Our cashier/front host/waiter, was Mirian. Great customer service, very helpful and kind. As well as the other lady and the manager (I think) who was cooking. The food was soooo delicious. The Taquitos and the enchiladas plate were full of flavor. My taquitos were nice and crispy. Rice and beans had excellent flavors and so did the guacamole. The food was ready within minutes. Fresh ingredients, fresh products. Amazing experience, good prices, good amount of food!
