    3 Quesatacos and 1 8 oz. Consome

    These tacos were some of the best I've ever had. I wasn't expecting to find fire tacos in Indiana to be honest. I was pleasantly surprised. Service was quick and friendly. This place would make a good date night also.

    Wow!! I was thoroughly blown away by how tasty this restaurant was!! So we ordered the birria taco plate, the birria dinner plate, and one goat birria taco! Fire I mean by far one of, if not the best birria I've ever had! That's saying a lot being that I'm from Los Angeles. The service was good and it's a cute ambiance! Definitely will be coming by!

    It's been a while since I've had this place. We sat down and dined in this time, and they have really expanded the menu (forgot to take a picture) lol, and the food, drinks and service are just as good as before, maybe even better now. I'm glad to see they now take credit cards as well as cash. Would recommend! _______________________________________ Finally, I tried this place. Really, good food and service were friendly and welcoming. Really enjoyed the birria ramen!! It's a bit pricey, but the quality of food is worth it. Cash Only and a great small, local businesses to support. Would recommend.

    I don't typically venture out beyond what I know when going to the Horseshoe Casino but this time I did. So here's my review of Chela's with some pics for your viewing pleasure. First off I was impressed with the cleanliness and decor inside the restaurant... even the bathrooms were nice and clean!!! Keep in mind I did visit shortly after they opened so things could be different later in the day. As for the food... I kept it simple and order 3 QuesoBirra Tacos and I'm honestly glad I didn't order any sides as these tacos were definitely loaded with meat and were definitely filling. The tacos were delicious and the consommé definitely added a depth of flavor as well. On each taco I tried 3 different salsa, 2 that are served in plastic bottles and one that was served with the complimentary chips & salsa. All 3 were very tasty!!! The service was spot on and they truly make you feel welcome when you walk in. Again... this was shortly after opening so please keep that in mind. If I had any negative comments or should I say constructive criticism it would be this... I wish they made their chips in house. Nothing beats a freshly made tortilla chip and any restaurant willing to go through the work of making a good Birra should also be willing to make a house made chip. The salsa served with the chips was very tasty but in a container that was too small to be able to scoop some on a chip... so maybe serve that salsa in a small bowl/container? I also wish the Quesobirra Tacos were more cheesy but that's a personal preference. I will definitely be coming here again when I find myself at another WSOPC Event at the Shoe.

    Small restaurant with great food. We tried a little bit of everything. The birria ramen was great as well as the tacos, burritos, quesadilla, and chilaquiles. Great prices and a great place to hangout with friends. They could use more help but the wait wasn't terrible for how good the food was.

    So honestly, I was very excited to try this place! However, I am very disappointed in the food and the service!! I will not be returning. My server only checked on me once due to the language barrier she never came back. She ended up having another server check to see if I'm doing OK which only happen one time in that server does speak English. My plate was the Super Chela plate which was $16. Not worth $16 they asked me if I wanted everything on my food, including onions and cilantro, however there is very little onions and cilantro, which makes the flavor of the dish, no flavor barely any cheese on the quesadilla and the mulita. They only have one type of margarita. I guess the special of the day was mango. That was my only option, so, of course I got that I could not taste any alcohol in the margarita at all, so I feel like this is a virgin margarita. I'm just disappointed with everything! The atmosphere makes you feel unwanted specially when there are individuals that speak English and nobody will come and ask you if you need anything else. Can we assist you with anything nothing terrible service here. I will be taking my services somewhere else.

    Chelas sampler

    Fantastic food. Can't recommend the torta and beef taco enough. The difference is the Southern Mexico recipes.

    We loved this place. This is basically an interesting spin on things, 1950s American pop culture,…read moreAmerican breakfasts and Mexican food. The prices are fantastic. The decor is really cool with a lot of 1950s and 1960s style antiques. There's an old jukebox that they are in the process of getting repaired. There are tons of old pictures on the walls and vintage newspaper advertisements. It has two dining rooms and the decorating all sticks with that 1950s and 1960s themes. The booths are in perfect repair and if you like you stepped into the 1950s, even the tables are the old style 1950s tables. It's a very charming place! All of the food was cooked perfectly. The service was impeccable and they are very nice. It's not a fancy place like you were downtown Chicago. It's a cute place that is arguably the best on the strip of 119th Street in Whiting..... At least when you're talking about this sort of style. There's plenty of street parking but they also have parking behind the place. They pay a lot of attention to detail to make the place feel comfortable, even live plants. When you Walk in the door, you notice that the room is painted robin's egg blue. The place is just so cheery it will make you happy.

    Everything we've tried so far has been delicious! Food's always hot with fresh ingredients. And…read moretheir prices are fair, you can actually eat without going into debt, lol. My only complaint is sometimes they forget your chile and condiments.
