Chelita's Mexican Restaurant

Okay so I have three tacos I use to initially judge Mexican restaurants.
Potato & Egg cause that’s a classic and if you mess that up how can I trust you? Carne guisada because that’s all about getting the spice right AND slow cooking the beef correctly, you cant rush art and a tough carne guisada taco tells me a lot.
Lastly a chicharron taco because I feel like that not the most common taco so its easy to slack off on the "less popular" tacos. SO! Where does Chelitas stand? Part of me wants to tell you this place sucks because its already too busy and its getting tough to get a table at my new favorite restaurant as is! So all I have to say is if you hate flavor and delicious tortillas youre gonna hate this place! Lets face it, do you REALLY want to have the best tacos in San Antonio just so your standards are raised and everywhere else now falls short? Its hard to see 4k and go back to VHS, so stay away from these 4k tacos for your tastebuds…

Good food, great waitress and good prices.
Homemade flour and corn tortillas.

Making my way through 20 local restaurants and this was my first stop.
I love that it’s small and cozy.
It definitely gave me “12 years old living off Buena Vista vibes.” The chips were warm and fresh.
Not stale at all and the green salsa was a thumbs up from my husband.
He loved that it came warm.
We ordered 2 Mexican plates and loved that everything is served as if you’re a guest in someone’s home.
Little things like that matter and I feel like you’re more apt to find these touches in places like this vs chain or larger establishments. The puffy taco was fresh and I say this because I often find the shell is old or cooked prior.
Veggies were nice and cold and when a place uses American cheese instead of cheddar, it’s always better! Also when a place uses 100% avocado with zero filler, you can’t go wrong. Lastly, the fajitas were tasty.
My son gives them a 7.5/10.
Tortillas were hot and fluffy just like me 😉.
