Food was good and service was great. Friendly customer service. I had the plate with a chimichanga (chicken) and a crispy taco. The only thing I would say is the chimichanga was more oily than crispy but the flavor was there. I also go the flan and it was delish. We went on a Friday and the place was almost fully packed, the atmosphere was good. The service was still pretty fast even though they did have a lot of people. It seemed they had a lot of regulars. read more

We visited Celia's in Antioch today, and while the service was excellent, the margaritas fell short compared to the other Celia's locations we've been to. My partner ordered a regular margarita and I had the medium, and both tasted weak. The flavor wasn't there, and they seemed very light on alcohol. We're used to the Celia's in Daly City and San Mateo, where the margaritas are consistently strong, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Because of that, we expected the same quality here, but the Antioch location didn't measure up this time. That said, the staff was great. We're hoping they improve their margaritas because we'd love to come back. This isn't meant as harsh criticism...just honest, constructive feedback from people who enjoy Celia's and want this location to be just as good as the others. read more

Not sure what has happened at our favorite restaurant, but the last 4 times we have been, it seems that they have done a dramatic shift in the quality of their food, food comes out cold or even frozen. I understand times are tough for restaurants right now, but the quality of food is not in one of those areas to compromise . There's too much competition out here and I really hope they can get their kitchen issues figured out because we have been going there for over 30 years and the staff is amazing. I would hate to see them go out of business because they cut the wrong corners. Please fix this. Better to take the prices up than compromise quality. read more

This is one of my husbands favorite restaurants. We used to always go to the one in San Rafael or Sausalito can't remember. That is too far from Stockton. Whenever I'm in Antioch, I'll stop and get some plates. The service is really good. The lady at the counter is always super sweet and gets the order just right. The food is always on point. My only complaint today is the crunchy tacos. It wasn't crunchy at all. I was thinking of a crispy shell fried. Nope it was just tossed the grill, nothing crunchy about it. The food was good though. Beans and rice tasty perfect seasoning. The place is pretty upbeat and seems like it always have a good amount of people inside. The food was still warm when I got home and it took me about an hour and a half to get to Stockton in traffic. Yummy read more

Came here for a work birthday and had a great time! The staff was so extremely friendly and hung out and made great conversation with us. You can really tell it's family owned and super family friendly. Just based off of the ambience, the friendly staff, and the decor I would recommend coming here. They were able to seat our very large party of eight, Meaning that this is a very party friendly restaurant. I got the street tacos with pork and they did not disappoint! I have a rather small appetite so 2 was plenty for me. The birthday dessert they brought out was also simply just out of this world yummy! read more

Celia's has that old school Mexican restaurant vibe. The big restaurant vibe, not the little spot vibe. It hasn't been updated in a while; seemingly barely maintained. But it's enjoyable and casual. They have live mariachi sometimes, which is cool. The food is solid. Good chips & salsa. Now, this may sound weird, BUT for many years they used American cheese in their cheese enchiladas. And it was DELICIOUS. It was the main reason I would go there to eat. The last year or two, when I ordered the cheese enchiladas, they had either cheddar or Monterey Jack in them. My favorite item changed, noooo! I was disappointed the first time the cheddar was used, so I asked ahead of time upon my next visit. The waiter assured me it would be American cheese in the enchiladas. (Again, I know: weird...but it's yummy!). When the food came, it was again cheddar cheese in the enchiladas. The waiter swore I was wrong, so I asked him to ask the cook. They told him, yes, it's cheddar. He explained that they got a good price on cheddar, and that the American cheese would be back soon. Unfortunately, the SAME thing happened two more times. The waiter told me it would be American cheese in the enchiladas, and then when I was served, it was either Monterey Jack or cheddar. BOO! Other than that, the service is good. I'll be back...I guess... but I won't order cheese enchiladas. Sad... read more

I've been to Celia's several times over the years. Noticably on the last visit which was this week, I could see that the prices were higher and the portion sizes were smaller. We were a party of 10 and only two people needed Togo containers. I had a delicious frozen raspberry margarita size medium, I wish I would have ordered the biggest one because it was so good. I ordered a combination plate with taco and enchilada. It was delicious. We even got to enjoy the mariachi band. They came over and played a song for my daughter to celebrate her graduation. overall, we enjoyed our time at Celia's and will continue to patronize them. read more

They're beans and cheese are good. I will give them that but $14 dollars for a bean and cheese burrito is a little pricey. Not even a huge burrito its a flat as a pancake bean and cheese burrito no extras and it was to go. Even as much as I love their beans and cheese I wont encourage their thievery.. read more

Been coming here for years! Food is always amazing and it doesn't matter what you order, it's always good. Service is always on point and they will damn near bend over backwards for you. Always a good atmosphere with plenty of customers. The mariachi band that comes in can be a little loud sometimes though. All in all I honestly recommend this place every chance that I get and I will continue coming here for years to come. P.S. The Expresso (yes this is the correct spelling) Burrito is always amazing! read more

Celia's Mexican Restaurant - Antioch - Chile relleno & chicken enchilada plate 10/10 sooooo good - Mexican Near Me - Antioch, California

Elite Mexican Food, here at Celia's. Once you arrive to this restaurant in Antioch, you can find their own parking lot and sign outside. Indoors, it's very much alive: the music, the ambiance and the vibes are awesome. You are greeted by host, and seated Their menu is diverse, with burritos being their popular plate. But their highlight is truly their bar: beer, wine and cocktails are part of their alcohol. When it came to the food, I had their Tostada Deluxe, which is a hard tortilla, with premium ingredients on top, like your meat choice, guacamole, sour cream and lettuce. For $15, it was completely stacked: completely worth it. I couldn't even eat half, so I took the other half home! With a 25% discount, with my Check In, it was an amazing experience w YELP. A return for me read more

We used to live here in Antioch for 21 years and we would frequent Celia's Mexican Restaurant probably every week or two. We just came back for a function after 6 years since we moved away. All the people recognized us and welcomed us with open arms. They were so happy to see us and took wonderful care of us. The ambiance is still the same a warm and welcome place to eat great food. My wife loves their cheese enchilada and compares every single Mexican restaurant to Celia's sauce, salsa and cheese enchiladas. I had Huevos Rancheros and they were amazing as always and my daughter loves their Polo en crema. Even after 6 years of absence the place hit the spot. The people are so nice and the service is great. When we visited in the past it could get really busy and service could take a little bit but this food is worth the wait. There are a few in the Bay Area but the Antioch location is the best! read more

My husband and I recently moved to Antioch and are starting to seek out new local favorites and Cecelia's is a front runner for Mexican food! The restaurant is easy to get to and has ample parking. The area is clean and safe. The inside is clean and nostalgic of a sit down family restaurant. I'm sure it would make a good event venue too. My family and I went twice in one month. To be transparent the second time we had a coupon that had come in the mail. It was still a good value with and without the coupon. The service was great. Attentive, quick and our food was served piping hot. That is really important for me and my dad who was with us. Not all picture, but across both visits we had bean dip (soooo good! Creamy and comfort food), rum cocktails (Good. I'm not much of a cocktail drinker), chimichanga (beef, perfect portion) , a three item combo that included Chile Relleno (batter was fresh and fluffy and the cheese was perfectly melted), cheesy soft enchilada, and a taco (carnitas were meaty and I didn't get gristle), Camarones a la Diabla (favorite) and another tasty shrimp fish I can't remember. The food was perfectly seasoned. Portions were great. Left full and with a bit of leftovers. We even sampled each other's dishes. We really enjoyed both visits and look forward to the next. read more

Came here for dinner one week night. We tried the albondigas soup for the first time and I was pleased. It was quite tasteful and the veggies were fresh.

Celia's always has good food and service. That being said, their rice hasn't been good for a while (under cooked). Also, the portion seems a bit smaller than a year ago. Fortunately, the refried beans are still delicious. I'll be asking for beans only on future orders. The Chips & Salsa are great as usual! read more

The Dendinger's are at Antioch!!! So peeps yes we decided to expand our horizons in the food area! We decided to try this new place here in Antioch. Let's dive in to the place outside! Lots of parking space the place is located in the corner of a stop light. The place outside looks amazing makes it feel like home. When you walk in there is an option to have the door open up automatically or by hand which is amazing for disabled folks. As you walk in you have the choice of going to the bar or being seated in the dinning area. There is also a area where kids could get candy and temp tattoos for 50 cents or 1 dollar. Moving on with the menu and food. The menu was super easy and it explained what the mean came with. Wife ordered the chimichangas with a coke Son ordered the street tacos and a Dr Pepper Daughter ordered a chicken and cream burrito with a Dr Pepper I ordered the fajitas with a coke Wife's chimichangas were so juicy omg was amazing very crunchy from the outside layer and moist and juicy inside. My sons tacos were very plain and that's because he does not like salsa or onions but he did say that the asada was not dry that it did have flavor. My daughters burrito was huge and packed with a lot of chicken she how ever did not like it. She decided to order tacos like her brother. Now let's drive in to the fajitas talk about flavor talk about juicy meat talk about the amazing seasoning omg the chicken was not dry the asada was not burnt. But I will let the pictures speak for themselves judge for yourselves!!!! Now for the dessert yes I had to try the fried ice cream with strawberry sauce on top let me describe to you how amazing this dessert was it was served in a tortilla bowl with strawberry sauce around it and ice cream with cereal packed in it and whipped cream as well it was soooooo AMAZING!!!!! This is a must try restaurant!!!! read more

We have been coming to Celia's for years. We are pretty particular about our Mexican food and think this Celia's is exceptional.

Came here for a work lunch this week. I had only been to Celia's once in my life a long time ago and what I can remember from that visit was not good. I was surprisingly pleased to have had a different experience. The staff and service were great. Very attentive and friendly. I ordered 2 crispy chicken tacos with rice and beans. I've had better tacos elsewhere, but portions were large and filing. Food was flavorful but the tacos were overloaded with sour cream. They also had a lot of juice with them, which is fine but it quickly made the taco shell soggy. I also don't know if the shells are made in house as they looked store bought. read more

My partner and I found Celia's online after passing through on the way home. It seemed to be highly rated on Yelp and Google so we figured to give it a chance. Upon first walking in, it seemed promising as the parking lot was full. It's located in a little rough area of town but that didn't stop us from trying the place. The decor was nice. Not too corny or over the top though dim in lighting. We were sat immediately despite being packed full of people. Chips were okay but the salsa was literally tomato juice with pepper. There didn't seem to be any chilis involved. The food was bland. We were so disappointed after getting the shrimp fajitas and burritos. Microwaved beans, canned sauce and buttered shrimp...no way! Made our stomachs turn. The waitress was nice, however, which made the experience alright to say the least. We left her a nice tip. All in all, we will not be returning. read more

Horrible! I ordered pick-up 1st The lady at the counter argued with me because the Door Dash page that shows order details did not display my name! Then She refused to give me salsa because I was door dash unless i paid for it so I declined.

Please dnt go here. read more
