Absolutely some of the best tacos I’ve ever had – my opinions have been reinforced by friends. They make a true El Pastor which is so very hard to find with the sweet chucks of pineapple and the pork cooked just right. I may need to go there for lunch now, this review is making me hungry.

First visit, I had the “famous” wet chili verde burrito. The verde sauce was nicely mild and flavorful. The pork chunks were good quality, no fat or chewy pieces. It’s a big burrito, nice sized serving @ $14.75.
Staff was OK, store clean enough.
I must comment on the pleasant “Mexican music”, seemed to be contemporary, nice to listen to while eating.

Burrito tastes ok, it has too much rice, too little meat and comparing to other places I’ve been they lost on price and portion. Spending over 16 still hungry afterwards.
Restaurant is clean and nice decorated is the only positive. Customer service was good too.

The vibe is super cute, reminded me of a beach shop in Mexico including Mexican music playing and soccer on the television.
Food was a little disappointing, a bit on the bland side and pricey. Portions are very large.
They do offer several Mexican beers ( bottles and tap) and sodas.
Laura working the counter was awesome, super friendly!

Most disappointing burrito in years.
$16 for the ribeye burrito, served with tough and stringy meat. The chipotle barbecue marinade on it is delicious, but they really need to buy better quality meat at that price. The burrito was also built with all the ingredients in separate sections, so you could only get a bite of all guacamole or all cabbage, never a balanced bite.
Service and atmosphere were great. Would have loved the place if the food were better. 2/5, wouldn’t recommend.

Great tasting food overall. Good portion size for the price. Helpful staff.
I’ve had better loaded fries, but the ribeye burrito was excellent. Their habanero salsa was very hot but flavorful

The burrito steak and the nachos have been quite satisfactory. The customer service has been somewhat inconsistent, with no eye contact when interacting with a customer, no smiles when interacting with staff, and no ability to listen to customer requests in a manner that aligns with impatience resulting in food orders being incorrectly processed.

UPDATEs : 9/19 ANGEL IS A PHENOMENAL EMPLOYEE !! He is such a great addition to your staff. Keep him!!!
We were in on Monday… This past week with a large group and he took such great care of us! It makes our decision to come back and grab food here so much easier knowing that he’s he dishing it up. We love CHELAS!!!
We have searched high and low for the last 10 months for the best Mexican food in San Clemente and we’ve had great experiences BUT THIS , BY FAR, is the absolute GREATEST FRESHEST TASTIEST MEXICAN FOOD… hands down!!!!
Monday, Wednesday & Fridays 3pm happy hour food… fish tacos are OUTSTANDING!
My husband and shared a breakfast burrito… sorry I did because I wanted it all for myself! Five different types of salsa to choose from… Our favorite was the habanero.
I highly recommend coming here for not only the food but for customer service as well!

I had lunch at Chelas including their steak burrito and a coke for about $18. Nice decorations, friendly staff, and clean. I thought the prices were really high for what is basically a fast food Mexican restaurant. The burrito was good but relatively small for its $15 price.
