What Hans-Peter Wüthrich doesn't like about Celia's By The Beach:

Ordered delivery. Chips tasted of stale grease. Enchiladas were also very gross, inedible at best.

Nestled by the beach, this family-run restaurant is a beloved spot for both locals and visitors. Guests praise the warm, welcoming atmosphere, excellent service, and a diverse menu that caters to various dietary preferences, including vegetarian options. Popular choices include generous taco specials and hearty enchiladas, which evoke nostalgic memories for many diners. Though some service hiccups and inconsistencies in dish quality have been noted, the overall experience, highlighted by delicious margaritas and fresh ingredients, makes it a fitting destination for celebratory meals or a casual bite. Celia's earns its reputation as a neighborhood favorite with charm and flavor.
