We love this place BUT please stop forgetting and messing up our orders. They misheard and gave us the wrong tacos once and they were not going to give us the correct order. The reply was "oopsies". Then another time they forgot our birria fries when we ordered takeout/pickup and we didn't realize it until we were already on the interstate. The food is delicious but please work on improving customer service and satisfaction! These little infractions make it less desirable to come back. read more

Oh man, picture this: I dial up Chabelitas, craving a tamale apocalypse, and boldly order 30 of those bad boys. That's right, 30--enough to build a fortress or bribe an entire neighborhood watch. But the lady on the phone hits me with the sass cannon: "Are you SURE you want 30 tamales? I mean, it's gonna be like $120," delivered in that tone that's equal parts eye-roll and "30 tamales is beyond our capabilities" revelation. Look, I've slaved over homemade tamales with my family--picture us in the kitchen like a chaotic assembly line of corn husks and masa mishaps, laughing through the sweat. But hey, isn't that literally the restaurant's gig? To crank out tamales whether it's a dainty dozen or a full-on fiesta invasion? I politely inquire why my order is apparently triggering World War Tamale, and she snaps back, "Do you want them or NOT?" like I'm auditioning for a reality show called "Survivor: Takeout Edition." I've haunted this joint more times than a ghost in a piñata factory, and I could pick that female voice out of a lineu...blindfolded. Clearly, business is booming so hard they can audition customers now--must be nice! As a prehistoric patron from the early Chabelitas era (back when dinosaurs probably ordered the specials), I bet if I'd waltzed in person, they'd have rolled out the red carpet instead of the red-hot attitude. Next time, I'll just show up with a mariachi band to announce my tamale conquest. Lesson learned: Phone orders are not for the faint of heart, or maybe Chabelitas just has the wrong Chabala at the phone. Chabelitas, kick that nasty attitude to the curb. Adios to Xabelitas, La Mexicana de Columbus took my order in less than two minutes and I'm OMW to get them now. read more

Great food from here. Very respectful staff. We didn't have to wait long for what we order. I believe they have inside tables but we're sat outside since it's nice. read more

Very hard to navigate overpacked lobby was very hard to order not just the language barrier, but unfortunately, the young person taking our orders was on her phone. Most of time versus answering our questions got one of the appetizers, which is a chips with tajin and other toppings on it, it was good but could've had a better description the case of Brea tacos Hartley had filling and no flavor whatsoever had to use a lot of salt and pepper to make it taste like anything. The latte was the star of the show, but it's really hard to mess that up, so can't really give a lot of praise for that. The fruit strawberry smoothie milk drink was great just pretty small not a huge fan of this establishment not in my top three Mexican places of Columbus. Was not the warm and inviting place you would suspect. read more

Love the mexican snack shop vibes. From peanuts, gummies, conches, etc. I have went back with my blender cup you can get a refill for half off ($10~). Haven't tried their tacos yet but it was plenty of people walking in for take out. Service is great the cashier is a cutey and great help with the menu. Hopefully they add that chorizo torta to the menu read more

Wow I saw Chabelita Snacks on Instagram and TikTok the food looked so delicious and the staff looked friendly and eager to fill your order so I said the next time I go to Georgia I was going to try them out, I am from Los Angeles California I went and I was not disappointed everything was just as everyone said I got the street corn with sour cream and Cheeto dust,the watermelon agua with watermelon squares it tasted like the sweetest watermelon you ever had,I also had jelly palm fruit it's similar in taste to pineapple and orange with fiber most people chew the fruit for taste then spit out the fibers I really enjoyed the food and staff I would go back when I'm in Georgia. read more

Very culture festive service with a smile great music and food to our families and friends come and enjoy

I want to say this establishment has been open for a little over a week now and being the second time for a visit it is time for a review. The convenience of having a place in Columbus that has the snacks (for me the mangonada is a win) is great. Of course there is more to choose from and so far all have been good if not at least ok. If you're one to have those cravings for elotes or tamales (note: tamales are only sold on weekends at this time) or even those mangonadas I would recommend this place. At times because this place is still new it can get pretty busy so be prepared to wait when that happens. I would also like to note that even though credit/debit is accepted there is a sign that does notify customers that there will be a 4% surcharge with your purchase. For this reason I would recommend paying cash however it's not the end of the world if you use card (just remember that surcharge!) I've already been back twice and I do expect to pass through at least a handful of times while I'm here (mainly to satisfy those cravings haha) read more

Been seeing great reviews of this place, so I had to try it today. Im glad they're open on Sundays! I took my daughter & her friend & altogether I ordered 4 tamales, 2 popsicles, a mangonada drink, & 2 extra tamarind straw sticks. The guy at the register was so nice & really seemed to know a lot about the food/business. The shop itself is so cute. I love the bright colored handbag/totes on the wall. They were calling my name, I wonder if they're for sale. They sell a lot of packaged snacks too. Everything was displayed so nicely. We sat outside at a nice wrought iron table & chair set. There may have been 2 or 3 tables outside as well as a couple inside. The drink was just as good as I imagined it being, with chunks of mango, nice flavor that wasn't overly sweet or too artificial tasting. The tamales were a green chile chicken & they were the moistest tamales ever. Great ratio of meat to masa & I love that they were actually spicy! I cant wait to go back to try the elote & some fruit. I just know it'll be good. read more

Best tamales I have ever had!! The mangonada was so delicious and refreshing!! Absolutely recommend!!

We have been a few times and have received nothing less than excellent service and food. Tres leches cake, snacks, Aguas de Fruitas, mangonada, and flan were all wonderful. Fruit water and mangonadas were made fresh with whole fruit! Staff are also super friendly and explained each menu items to other customers without hesitation. read more

So far, I've liked what I have tried here! Very delicious. I always ask the guy what I should get and he never disappoints. Different from anything else we have in Columbus. The people who work there are very nice. It always seems busy so they're doing pretty good. I would recommend coming to try it! read more

Excellent the people is very nice and the snack deliciosossss. Very nice clean place.

I ordered the fruit cup with extra tajin. I'd only ask they let you choose the fruit. I was not given this option. The service was still great, and the store had a laid-back vibe. read more
