    I can't believe there's such authentic and delicious Mexican food out here! The corn tortillas are fresh, and the salsa is spicy. We loved the mixed fajitas and the carnitas burritos. And our server was so kind.

    Stopped by on my way to LA from Vegas to have breakfast. It was such an interesting experience. The staff was super friendly and portion sizes were big. The interesting part is the decor. They have so many animals all over the restaurant and hunting pictures. I have never seen some of the animals in real life so we spent the time waiting for our food figuring out each animal. It's such a good photo op as well.

    Honestly, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at this place. The food was absolutely incredible, and the service was impeccable. I highly recommend it to anyone in the area. It's rare to find authentic Mexican food with such exceptional service. I ordered the flautas, and they were a generous portion at a very reasonable price. I'll definitely be returning. The ambiance of the place, with its animals, created a cozy and pleasant atmosphere.

    A Mexican restaurant with a wildlife taxidermy kingdom! Wow I'm fascinated, intrigued, disturbed, and the margarita is good. I'm ordering tacos.. the plates are too expensive for a solo diner. This place is more like $$ imo Pro tip: Don't bring ur vegan friend here But if you happen to be a wildlife illustrator like me, this a great place to get some original photos for your reference library..

    Went there twice in one weekend. The first time on my way to Vegas. We had the most amazing micheladas and I am a michelada connoisseur! The bartender was so sweet and friendly and talked to us the whole time while still paying attention to others at the little bar. The place was quiet and didnt have a lot of people. We came back the next day on the way home. Had again a michelada and this time the green enchiladas and albondigas. I only give it 4 stars because the albondigas were lacking in flavor. All in all I will definitely be back the next time I go to Vegas.

    During our trip home, we found this place right off the freeway. The woman's restroom needs attention. The stalls didn't have a place to hold your purse or bag and the smaller stalls door was too small for its frame and I wasn't able to lock the door and the lock on the larger stall was broken and hard to use. This place is definitely unique in decor with all the life-sized taxidermy animals. We didn't get to sample very much from their menu due to the fact we just wanted to eat and get back on the road. We had decent service. The lady was pleasant and attentive enough, considering she seemed to be the only one on the floor, and they were a little busy with the late lunch early dinner crowd. They serve you what looks like homemade chips with two salsas, a Verde and a Rojo, a green and red one. We decided on a bowl of menudo and a hard shell taco. They offer a white and red broth and we chose the red, It was lacking in flavor and color. I think it's probably because a red sauce is added to the white broth. You can definitely tell that the flavor from the red chilies was lacking in the tripe and hominy. We had to add some of the red and green salsas to our bowls. We took a bite into our tacos, and we were thrilled by how delicious they were. Nothing fancy, just cooked, right. They were filled with shredded beef and topped with shredded lettuce and cotija cheese. I wish we would have ordered more of them. Their menu seemed to cover all the framiliar basic Mexican foods and mariscos. It's suitable for large groups, and the bar seems to have a large variety of alcohol to accommodate a variety of adult beverages. I can see kids being excited to eat here because of all the stuff, animals, and photo opps.

    Never eaten such delicious food under a gazelle. The melted cheese on my Asada burrito was so delicious the zebra wanted a bite.

I ate almost the entire plate and drank every bit of the rich, flavorful stew that came with it. So delicious, juicy, and packed with flavor. I'm currently trying to lose a few pounds, but this meal was 100% worth the calories! Highly recommend this spot especially the birria tacos and the chicken burritos. Definitely a must try if you're passing through Barstow!

We still had about 200 miles to go, and all that was left in the car was coconut water and a few pretzels--not exactly a satisfying meal! I opened Yelp to see what Barstow had to offer, and Chelas Y Carnitas immediately caught my eye. I'm so glad we made the stop. The food was incredibly fresh and tasted like it was made from scratch--which I believe it was. Every bite of our wet, chicken burrito and steak burrito with everything in it, was delicious. Although it's a true hole-in-the-wall spot, that's part of its charm. The service was warm and welcoming, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the food exceeded our expectations. This place is an absolute gem, and it has officially become a must-stop whenever I'm traveling between Southern California and Las Vegas. Highly recommend!
