Reviews for Chela in Brooklyn, NY
Great food!!! Everyone was nice but I feel management could do a better job. Restaurant was fully staffed and still the server... didn't check on us as much as they should have. The food has a great twist, check out how they make their brussel sprouts. Theycould of been cooked a lil longer but still really good side dish. Their yuca fritters come in a ball form, super soft, withcheese in the mix. I ordered their ribs!!!!!!!! Oh em geeeeeeee, to die for. Finger licking good, I mean it. Think stickygoodness that feeds your soul. So happy I ordered it. Def going back and maybe sitting in the front area. Oh , they forgot tobring a bday dessert for my friend. That's why we were there to celebrate him. Hope to taste the dessert next time. Read more
It's quite expensive for what you get but the food is tasty. We got served by a lady who didn't speak English so that was a... tough. Drinks were great here. I think the vibe here is better during the day from other reviews. Bathrooms were clean. We spentabout 75 dollars per person with 1 to 2 drinks here. Recommend the beef tacos and the ribs. If you look for value in yourmeals, my rating reflects it. Read more
Vibrant and beautifully decorated with a ceiling art mural above the bar and others located throughout the restaurant in this... warm ambient atmosphere. Stopped in for dinner, grabbed a seat at the bar and enjoyed friendly conversation and great servicefrom Alex the bartender. For cocktails I very much enjoyed the Cosita and the Brunch Baby, both with fruit forward ingredientsand well crafted. For my entree I ordered the highly rated and recommended Chicken Enchiladas Suizas and........ they were theBEST I've ever experienced and I've eaten at thousands of Mexican restaurants. The quality, portions, flavor and presentation ofthis dish was executed to perfection. My friend ordered the Salmon and it was also very delicious and plated beautifully. I'dhighly recommend this establishment. The staff were very friendly, accommodating and polite. Bathrooms were very clean and wellmaintained. Had a wonderful time here. On street parking is limited. Took a nice walk here from where I was visiting. Read more
Went here for brunch. The cuisine is Mexican cuisine from the Oaxacan region... this wasn't the cheapest brunch as for 2 people... it def will cost you a bit BUT the food is tasty. All the enchiladas came with a side of rice and beans. The drinks aredefinitely strong and the service was attentive without being pushy. One thing I did notice was that for the enchiladas we had,the chicken was cubed instead of the usual shredded chicken. All in all I'd recommend.. there is a garden but I opted not to gothere as I had my infant in the stroller. Read more
So tasty and the service is amazing! We loved everything. The chorizo is delicious. The servers and support staff are great; we... never waited for anything. I would suggest the bottomless mimosas for brunch. Read more
