Reviews for Chelas Mexican Restaurant in Van Horn, TX
Was hoping to get some great home cooked Mexican food here however this would not be the place to get that. I ordered enchiladas... with red sauce. Shredded cheese inside was not melted and was cold. Rice was either old or left out and reused again. There weresome crunchie ones in my portion. Beans had no flavor almost like it was out of the can. Sad there is not a lot of options outhere. Quality of food was poor and pricey. Read more
No beer or wine even though Yelp says they have it. This wouldn't be a big deal, but every table that came in while we were... there asked for drinks. The waitress said they used to have it. False advertising? Half a basket of cold chips which were flourtortillas that had been fried but not salted. Tacos came with a baked potato. I had to ask for butter which was ice cold and thepotato wasn't warm enough to melt it. The carne asada was good. Never got our ticket as the waitress was busy on her phone... Ifinally went to the register and told them what we'd ordered. I don't recommend and we won't be back. Read more
Not enough food for the price. Had breakfast. Ran out of orange juice. Coffee was weak and tasted watered down. Bathrooms... need a good cleaning. The only good about it was the waitress. She was very tentative. Read more
This had to be the most pathetic ?CARNE ASADA TORTA? i?ve ever had in my entire life. First of all, it was on a hamburger... bread! ???????????????, starting with that, the ?TORTA? was already ruined. YOU NEED TO USE THE RIGHT BREAD, in order to call ita ?Torta?. But if that wasn?t enough, as you can see in the pictures, I had a lettuce filled up hamburger bread ?TORTAwannabe?, The Carne Asada was barely noticeable and chopped up in little pieces. Honestly I could have picked off all thelittle pieces of Carne Asada and would not even fill up meat for one plain taco. This is a rip off when it comes to the meatportion and the false representation of a ?torta?. Definitely not coming back and will not recommend this place at all. Read more
The price isn?t bad for the quality of food. I really like their cooking. For a truck driver there is plenty of parking. The... service used to be great, now it?s predictably unpleasant, with the new young server they got their service went from great to a0 star. I spoke with a few trucker-co-workers and they too had the same unpleasant experience with the same young bleached blondgirl. I get there she wouldn?t wait on me, finally she did. A big group of people show up and I?m completely ignored. Shebrought their food out to them first when ?I had arrived? way before they did. I left her no tip. Some people are just not cutout to deal with the public. I was paciente, because finding a spot to park a 53 foot trailer doesn?t come easy. But be aware ofthis, because she does this to many. I gave them a 3 star, because I do like their food and I?ve never experience this before,till sour girl started working here. Maybe she?s lacking Love ???? in her life. I don?t know. Read more
The food at Chelas is good, the service is good, but if you order a large drink to go it's a rip off. $5.78 for two large... drinks, that come in a small cup, and you get charged for a large cup, update the portions are getting smaller also, this is a$5 burrito that fits in my hand, don't think I'll be coming back anymore.

Had this for a take out while checked in Holiday Inn. Would give a lower rate because of the serving size, taste and quality of... their food. I wouldn't really recommend it, it's so oily, the beans tasted weird, those veggies look so dry and not fresh atall.. I really consider this as a disappointing meal. Read more
Find somewhere else to eat for your stop in Van Horn. Charged $15.99 for veggie fajitas which was just peppers and onions and... came with 1 single tortilla shell. The lettuce was brown, the guacamole was a liquid paste. Definitely not worth the price.Dirty table waitress did not offer to wipe. Husband and I both left hungry. Out of all the Mexican restaurants I?ve tried, thisranks at the worst. Read more
