Chela's is fire!! Our favorite is the Birria pizza. It's a must for us every visit. The ramen is amazing too. The tacos are great but the pizza has won us over. 10/10 every time we've eaten there. read more

very disappointing drove from Chicago to try them since it came out on social media set down she took our order forgot to submit it. A different waitress came and asked us for our order again we just got up and left service sucked. If their service is not great, their food sucks. my experience, my opinion, don't judge. read more

I've gone here only about one other time and the Birria tacos were amazing! I by happenstance found out they made a Birria Pizza. I think the skies opened up and rained down ALL of the blessings on whomever had this idea! So on Pi day I decided to get me Birria Pizza. IT WAS AMAZING! It's huge and full of shredded beef, cheese, cilantro and onions...it also comes with two big cups of consomé, tons of salsa and A HUGE amount of limes and radishes! I wouldn't miss this again for the world! Cons: Cash only (ATM is inside for use though) read more

Food was just put together fast and sloppy. Disappointed , tacos were not fried and dipped read more

Gotta be the best tacos eva! I'd go here every single day if I could, they are just that good!

Oh, my goodness! You have got to get over there! We ordered the combo where you get a bit of everything, plus the Birria ramen, and a taco with cheese. Everything was BURSTING with great flavor. The consume had the perfect amount of spice (not too spicy and not at all bland) a child could handle it. The menu is simple and easy to order from. They are practicing social distancing. The restaurant was clean and neat. The service was GREAT! Prices were reasonable. Their specialty drinks like the agua frescas are delicious. I only wish they had a little something sweet on the menu, and parking was a tad limited. The whole staff was friendly and very inviting. Everyone in the restaurant was happy. We didn't hear any complaining, only laughter and people enjoying their experience. If you want a happy mouth, eat at Chelas. read more

Nice place, respectful workers, Good, tasteful authentic food just like my hometown back in Jalisco, Mx

Okay, so have been aware of this queso birria trend that has swept through the country for about a year now. I have had many friends and family members highly recommend a try. The problem for me is that during this pandemic I really have not ventured too far out of my way for food. The nearest place to me serving this dish was quite far, therefore, I just haven't gotten around to trying it. Well until this place opened up and I happened to be in this area frequently. Well how was the food?? It was great! The tortillas being dipped into a mole type sauce before being fried then filled with birria and some queso was an amazing combination of flavors. Then, to put it over the top there is a deeply rich consume broth to go along and sip or dip. Folks I declare queso birria is here to stay permanently! This is a very richly flavored taco pared with its consume that is like a thin gravy, very much like the gravy for a Italian beef sandwich. The two stand out flavors that pop out are the guajillo peppers and the Mexican oregano used to cook the meat. Mexican oregano is actually in the mint family unlike the other oregano used in Mediterranean cooking. These two flavors and slow cooked meat combined with a melting cheese is amazing! read more

Very tasty and not your normal tacos. More flavor and the dipping sauce was on point.

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

Great tacos reminds me of the city. The service is amazing and the birria pizza is amazing.

This spot is fireeee ! I had the birria tacos and they were delicious! Please be warned that the consomé is hotttt !! I'm used to not only dipping but drinking the consomé and burnt my tongue badddd ! But one negative is that it's cash only ! read more

The restaurant was clean and well maintained. The quesotacos were presented neatly, but they lacked flavor. I suppose one has to buy consommé for a more flavorful taco. The birria wasn't as flavorful as what I've had at other places though. They only accept cash, too. read more

I work near here and this place just opened up. The beef and chicken quesotacos are not like everything else around here. Crunchy shell, cheesy, and loaded with meat. I highly recommend the quesotacos. The young lady behind the counter was very friendly and answered all my questions. This is my second time here already and I'll be back read more

Best Birria Pizza ever!!! This place is top notch and their Horchata omg delicious. Cash only but so worth a trip to cash station lbvs

Good Res Birria enjoyed it alot,will be coming back here in the future,plus there horchata was on point

We came in late and they still sat us! Food was great! I recommend the cucumber lemonade!

Food was great. Soft chicken tacos were delectable. The beef was magnificent, it was different than normal Mexican restaurant beef. The beef was great with the gravy. The soft shell quesadillas were the best thing on the menu. The sauce was also very good. The hard taco shells were also different, but pretty good. The service was also very good and our waitress was very nice. The atmosphere was ok, it was a cute little restaurant with quiet but nice, mood setting Mexican style music. Overall, good food, good service, and a cute atmosphere. read more

Food fire. Service really good. Chill spot. Everything about this place was great. Will go again soon.

Wow, the food was delicious and plates very generous. We had the birrias plate, yummy!!! Will definitely be back!

THIS IS THE BEST BIRRIA I HAVE EVER HAD.... period!!!!! It's a drive from me but it's soooooo worth the drive! I will be back EVERY single time i want tacos. I ordered the Birria Quesotacos with consommé and fell in love. 100000000 STARS read more

Chela's Birria Tacos - Birria Quesotaco with consommé - Tacos Near Me - Whiting, Indiana

Excellent, I cant say enough about this place. Firstly they say their food is Birria, whatever that means. I came here to continue my burrito quest that I have been on for years. The burrito is the biggest bang for the buck I have seen, with the most cheese I have received. In addition to that, You get [without asking] 2 big radishes sliced and a rather large container of refried beans. Top that off with 3 contains of hot sauce and 3 mild. I have never done this But I will be back to try their Birra taco's. This place is in the old schoops building in Whiting. read more

The best and more because it reminds me a lot of the aguela recipe. authentic dish come and enjoy it

The food was good. Was not told it was cash only prior to dining in, there was a sticker on the register stating there's a % charge for using debit but apparently they don't follow that. Literally make customers go to the gas station to get money out. Everything is sold separately as well, even though they made it seem it wasn't. Tortillas weren't even included in a to go plate I mean they're literally 49c read more

OMG lol I love everything on the menu and so do my family and friends it's a beautiful surprise in a quiet location you gotta try it

i don't know who is writing these reviews, friends?,relatives? cash only small portions. many better choices.
