Breakfast quesadila

Chelo's is the kind of place that the customers all know the staff name. Its not a big place, and certainly not fancy. But if you are looking for good food, great service and a place you feel like coming back too, time and time again, this is that place. We got the breakfast quesadilla and meat lovers omelet. The portions are always large. The omelet comes with your choice of toast, which we get heavily buttered. You can get a variety of sides and the corned beef hash is pretty good, but today I went with a side of sausage gravy. Everything was great.

Southern Skillet
Kimberlli V.

This was such an amazing find via Google during my recent trip to Cleveland. Perfect classic diner vibes with amazing service, and even more amazing food. I had the southern skillet and my boyfriend had the Country Boy. Both were amazingly large portions, well seasoned and an all around perfect breakfast to start the day off with. I can't wait to come back to Cleveland and try more dishes off the menu!

Veggie Omelet and loaded hash browns
Cameron L.

A few months ago, my dad brought home an omelet from Chelo's and after tasting it, it was only right that I dine in. Chelo's was busy for breakfast but the servers maneuvered through, taking dine in and takeout orders in a timely fashion. They turned tables over quickly and the food came out way more quickly than I expected with the rush. Even with the quick turnaround, I was not disappointed. The food was hot and extremely fresh. The omelet was perfectly seasoned and loaded with veggies and cheese. I highly recommend upgrading to the loaded hash browns, they were delicious and loaded with onions, peppers, and cheese. The inside of the diner is simple, with decor showing the history of Cleveland as well as the roots of the owner. It's not a huge restaurant but it stays packed for good reason. I will definitely be back again.

Catfish and eggs breakfast special.

Great food. Very good service. Some unusual menu items which is cool. A little slow but worth it if you have the time. I come on the weekends.

Nice first time visit.....friendly hostess to start. Not a huge place , but enough room for diners not to feel cramped. Nice selection of breakfast items to choose from. I ordered the meat lovers omelet and it was very tasty. The cheddar cheese made this magic. A bowl of grits and wheat toast. I'm happy with this visit and will come back again!!

Only OK on the food... Many little mistakes on dish. Crazy charges for extras. Not very clean and overpriced for offering.

My husband and I had lunch at Tropical Bay Latin Cuisine on Friday and it was fantastic! We each…read moreordered mojitos, he had the lime and I had the passion fruit and both were absolutely excellent and so refreshing. For food, we shared two appetizers and honestly could have made a meal out of them. The Dominican Flag was incredible: crispy fried plantains, perfectly melty fried cheese, Dominican salami and smoky longaniza, all topped with pickled red onions that added the perfect zing. Every bite was packed with flavor and felt like true comfort food. We also loved the Loaded Yuca Balls; crispy golden yuca stuffed with cheese and topped with roasted pineapple, jalapeños, sour cream, and bacon. The combination of sweet, spicy, cheesy, and savory was amazing. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was great. We'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and did a great job throughout our meal. I ordered the Garlic Chimichurri Shrimp. While the shrimp was cooked well, it had a pretty fishy taste that just wasn't for me, and I wasn't a fan of the cilantro aioli. Several people in our group really liked the pineapple dressing, though, so I'd definitely give that a try if I went back. Next time, I'd order a different entrée because there were several other dishes that looked delicious. The only thing that felt a little off was when we first walked in. The gentleman at the front just stared at us without greeting or acknowledging us, which was a bit intimidating. It wasn't a huge deal, but a simple "Hi, we'll be with you in a moment" would have made for a warmer first impression. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'd definitely return to try something different on the menu. I also had the flan, which was pretty good and the Tropical Bay House which was tasty! ,

Quintaesencia was great to work with in June 2026 at accommodating our large group of 21 women, providing is with ample space, a dedicated server, and even making separate checks for all of us. To the surprise of no one, I love South American food. Okay, I like most ethnic cuisines, if not all, but I really love foods like arepas, chimmichuri steak, asado, empanadas, etc! I looked at the menu ahead of time and settled on some faves of mine, arepas and yucca fries, but others in the group ordered a variety of dishes amd drinks, all of which were delicious! I stuck with water as my beverage because the cocktails/mocktails were a bit too pricey for me. I ordered the trio arepas ($18) and a side order of yucca fries ($5), which were very filling and sprinkled with cheese. I liked my meal a lot although I would like to see a few more types of arepas offered on the menu. Our server, Valeria, was absolutely amazing and served our party of 21 women quickly and efficiently. There was a 3% card usage fee as well as an automatic 20% gratiuiy for parties of 6 or more, so after paying with card, my total bill was $30.54. I left full and happy and hope to come back again to try their other dishes, particularly their pizzas and a creative cocktail or two.

Very sadly, I just saw that the two other locations are closing immediately, just 1 day after our Valentine's Day dinner at the Larchmere location - now officially, the only one left standing. The Lakewood Barroco was in my top 5 favorite restaurants in all of Cleveland and I am super bummed. I hope this last location will stay open for a very long time. As for the Barroco food, it was superb. We went all out and tried a few things on the menu. We aren't big drinkers but I sipped on a strawberry mojito with lots of real strawberries throughout ($14) and my bf enjoyed the "Iguana," a pretty little rum cocktail ($12). We shared the shrimp device and tostones appetizer ($18). The tostones reminded me of a structurally sound latke, or potato pancake! Our shrimp ceviche was doused in lemon juice and mixed with lots of healthy vegetables. This was large enough to be an entree for a healthy eater! However, we still had lots of room in our tummies and we each got our own main dish. I stuck to the arepa and yucca fries combo I love so much, although I switched it up and ordered a different arepa than my usual. I liked my "Ropa Vieja," or braised beef arepa ($22), fine but I prefer my usual pulled pork arepa much much more. The braised beef arepa was like a sloppy Joe in an arepa. Made for pretty good leftovers though! My beloved was feeling adventurous and treated himself to a nice and fatty cut of the Carne Asada and Calentado entree ($38). After tax and tip, our bill was a hefty $130 for the two of us. I'd say that the food, the service, and the ambiance made it worth it though and I hope it continues to stay open so we can come back!!

At first, when I saw that the Korean fried chicken sandwich was $17, I was slightly outraged,…read moreespecially since it didn't even come with fries or any kind of side. Then I got the sandwich, and I was like, actually, $17 is a more than fair price, LOL. For a second, I attempted to eat it with my hands, but its size made it an unwieldy experience. So I ate it with a knife and fork. And it was DELICIOUS. The sandwich came with a big piece of crispy fried chicken that the bun could barely contain. The chicken was fried fresh, so it was hot and juicy. In addition to being hot in temperature, it was hot spice-wise. It came with candied jalapeños, soy chili jam, pickles, and Sriracha. The spice was balanced well with some nice sweetness and a tasty kale slaw that added some brightness to the sandwich. Even the bun itself was delicious. The place is mainly a takeout spot, but there are a few tables if you want to dine in. The water is self-serve. There are cups and a sport cooler in front of the counter.

I pulled up the Chicken Ranch menu online and decided I would try them. It is a small establishment. Tables were clean. There is seating inside and two small tables outside for diners. The manager was explaining they make everything fresh and offered to answer any questions I had. I took a look at the specials then decided on a two piece crispy tenders meal. It came with a jalapeño corn muffin. It was 10 dollars and I chose a chocolate chip cookie with caramel and pecans in it because, why not. My chicken was delicious. I chose hot honey sauce because I was curious. It was so spicy and cleaned my sinuses right up. The sauce came on the side, thank goodness for that. The muffin was OK. It would have been better warmed. The cookie: sooooo good. Because I was being nice, I gave my kid a piece, but next time I will eat it in the car before I get home, like the pros do.
