I've been here several times. Neighborhood go to. There isn't enough I can say about this place. The staff is amazing and the food great. I came in on a slow night, late for a drink at a time of loss. The owners and staff were extremely supportive and caring. They knew something was wrong and gave some extremely heartfelt well wishes. I'm extremely thankful for this place and all the people that work here and / or come in.
I have had many, many celebrations at Celia's #1 every single time we have received the best service, delicious food and best margaritas in town! I will continue coming to this special place for many more years! Fantastic job!
Okay I'm literally amazed! Last night I witnessed something superhuman! lol. but seriously I am really blown away at how it is possible for a single waitress to effectively attend to & service over 35 guests not to mention children & folks sitting at the bar all at one time? Well, the waitress pulled it off and did it with a smile on her face! I was with the group of approximately 20 all ordering full-course meals and drinks. Our food came within total reasonable time I'd guess 20 minutes.
I ordered the carne asada full meal. Unfortunately, carne asada speaking strictly only the meat rate it a 4/10 otherwise the rest was delicious. One of my friends got the fajitas meal which I regretted not getting😋
Shout out to the waitress's
(and waiters) AND the the cooks because y'all are amazing. I had a wonderful memorable experience!
Amazing fajitas and service. As a mexican I found this place to have a genuine mexican taste and flavors. Refried beans and rice were delicious.
Also good value for money. Definitely will come back.
I ordered the Impossible Nachos. It's non-dairy. No cheese or sauce but the nachos were surprisingly delicious. The chips and veggies were nice and fresh. Looking forward to trying other thing dishes here!
An institution that has been here for decades. They must be doing something right! Go for the good margaritas not the entry level ones!
Quality food for an authentic and great place! We ate with 5 people and our bellys were filled for great value!
Great place to stop after spending a day at the park if you want Mexican food. Portions are big so you get your money's worth.
Taco Tuesday is a must, arrived at 6pm for a table, and then worked the menu for over an hour. Great service and food/drink
If you're looking for an old school mexican restaurant, Celia's is the place. For years we'd go to the location in San Mateo or Burlingame . Now we live in the city and this is the place, the origin of them all. (READ the history on their website. )
Great service with good to match. Looking for those cheeses enchiladas you grew up with? They're here. And also margaritas you probably didn't have as a kid.
Parking is a pain, but totally worth it
Their taco Tuesday rocks, with $5 Margaritas and several taco deals!!
We went here for Taco Tuesday, when they have cheap tacos and margaritas. Note: The prices have increased a dollar from what is on their website. We went around 6-7pm and had about a 10 minute wait, but as we left, there was a line waiting outside. The restaurant is pretty big, has a fun atmosphere, and the food was really good. My husband had the mango tacos, which I'll get next time. I had the regular ones, which were good, but his were better. They had a kid's menu - my daughter enjoyed her enchilada. And kids eat free on Wednesdays. The margaritas were good too. My only complaint really was that the restaurant was pretty loud.
