Celia's By the Beach Reviews

Going to be honest here. I live 1 block away so i realllly want this place to be good... food is way overpriced unless you go on taco Tuesday. And the food is soooooooo soggy. Not sure what s going on back in the kitchen but they may as well call it enchilada soup and super soggy tacos.

Small place
Family friendly
Great menu
Very friendly staff
The food was very good
Had the mole and enchiladas. Salsa was very good put it on everything.

Super friendly staff, generously portioned and tasty margaritas, many good tequila options, heavily customizable menu for all tastes for adults and kids alike. I've been enjoying their take out option since covid lockdowns and it's nice to eat at one of the separated tables as well.

The margaritas are outstanding. Like, we got one large one to share with our food. After we were done eating (at the outdoor tables around the corner), we decided to go back and get two more margaritas for home. Both original and strawberry are wonderful. The enchiladas were flavorful. The veggie chimichangas were so-so (a little too doughy, too much grease, and not much flavor). The sides (beans, rice, and coleslaw) are all spot on. The chips are light and perfect vehicles to scoop said rice and beans into the mouth. The salsas are a little disappointing, on the very very mild side.

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!

The food is good but definitely over charged! I came here yesterday to order the Impossible Nachos (which are yummy btw). When I walked to the window and asked for jalepenos, I was charged an extra $2.75. I've never been charged for this before and it's my understanding that this meal comes with jalepenos. The waitress response was "we charge for everything here". Which was shocking because I've never had to pay for this before (it's even listed on the menu as an ingredient for the nachos).

Nevertheless, The food and drinks are great, but I really feel taken advantage of after yesterday. After I paid almost $3, the waitress brought this small container (see pic), I hung my head down with discontent and just walked away. I used to come here every Taco Tuesday but will not be returning. This was my worst experience here during COVID.

Their mexican american food helps me defeat my enemies.

House tacos were soggy, bland, and overall mediocre. I have a decent tolerance for mediocre food, and I won't be going out of my way to get three again. Mole cheese enchiladas plate were much tastier, but at $21 for 2 enchiladas, makes it a hard item to order regularly. Patio seating was a nice touch, and it's a local place that's well loved. Come for the atmosphere. Food is secondary here.
