As always, friendly prompt service. Park behind the building (north side), fewer cars & more shade. Today was a $12 biscuits & gravy special, with eggs & bacon. After my morning hike along the Salton Sea, this is a perfect breakfast. My photo is not the best but I was too hungry to waste time taking a 2nd photo. Breakfast was great. Plenty of tables, and lots of great hot coffee. read more

Place is amazing after one has hiked in 99 degrees weather at Anza State Park lol There was no food nearby as we kinda drove up along the coast of Salton for the hell of it. So def convenient. It's connected to the market as well which is nice and handy and they have all sorts of things that one might need for a pit stop. Got the classic Avo Cheeseburger and Mushroom Swiss with added avo. It wasn't bad, just wish the buns were toasted a bit more. The avo portions was huge so I do like that. Staff was also very prompt and nice! Their fries were thick cut so I wasn't too much a fan of those. I also really liked that they had the large glass bottle cokes too!! I feel they are rare to come by lol Great spot for fuel! Lol Since In N Out is further out. read more

I have been to the location in Cathedral City as well and they are both really good. :) I place my order over the phone and once I arrive the food is ready. My go to is the breakfast burrito with ham, bacon and sausage! It is really big, I share mine with my hubby, it has really good flavor! I have also tried the fries, the fried zucchini and onion rings! All really good. You have to try them with their ranch, it is delish! (I forgot to take pics, we were on a road trip, so we ate while driving). The staff is friendly, they are a little busy but are quick at taking the orders out! Must try this little spot. :) read more

Philly cheesesteak sandwich is really just carne asada on bread with onions and peppers. Nothing too great not horrible about what you can expect from a truck stop in the middle of nowhere where read more

the Burritos are no good they stuff them with everything else besides the meat and specially the carne Azada burrito

Lady on the phone incredibly rude. Didn't even bother to put an order in. Needs to work on service

Oh my gosh! The steak quesadilla is amazing, the spicy chicken sandwich is good, too. People seem to rave about the burgers. Everything here? Homemade. The staff really nice... But that steak quesadilla. Amaze balls. Really. ¡Bien hecho! read more

Horrible service, they gave me this on a $10.25 carne asada fries. No guacamole just 4 pieces of avocado. Unacceptable do NOT COME!!!! read more

Stopped in here to get gas, decided to try them out I've seen them before while coming back from our weekends In Glamis. My husband asked for a munedo and it was missing the corn . It was only half way full . I ordered a large one and they looks like I got a child's. Although it was tasty it's missing the corn and the large portion that you pay for. Undecided if I order her again. read more

Great asada burrito. I can't speak to the rest of the menu but the burrito was spot on. It was a tasty surprise and I'll be back again.

We've been here before & the last time I had the machaca burrito that was soo good but decided on the chilaquiles which were also delicious with refried beans & a fried egg couldn't go wrong with that! The workers were friendly & attentive to anything else may have needed when dropping off the food at our table. read more

Chelos - Red Chilaquiles & a Mexican Coke - Mexican Near Me - Mecca, California

When you live in the middle of no where your limited on where you can go for fast food. I have been putting off reviewing this place because it's decent. I normally get the chicken salad but change it up with the fried chicken plate sometimes. Today I decided to try the steak salad and let's just say I will never order it again. It's bad enough that usually the lettuce is sitting in water that has to be drained off especially if you're not going to eat it right away. As per usual I had to drain off the water but my biggest issue is the amount of fat and gristle they put on my salad. Clumps of fat mixed in with the salad is something I'm just not down with. Also it is just the pre-bagged iceberg mix. I'm not sure if they just have it floating in water and scoop it out and throw it strait in the container or what but be prepared to add paper towels or napkins to the container no matter which salad you choose and flip to drain, as well as there will be some turned lettuce you will need to pick out. read more

First time here this morning, great Chilaquiles plate, they were so good. The beans & eggs on the side were good too. My husband got a machaca burrito & said it was good as well, although smaller than most breakfast burritos. It's out of the way for us, but when in the area, I would definitely go back. read more

I love it to mucho chelos burger and they are so good too and all ways I go to eating their

Getting that late night craving, I decided to give Chelo's Burger a try. I got there at 8:40 PM and I did not realized that they closed at 9PM. Even though it was almost closing time, the employees still kept a smile and took my order and cooked it fresh and quick! My first time being here, I chose their Bacon Avocado Cheeseburger with fries. It came with bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, onions, thousand island dressin, cheese and one beef patty. Man, the burger was good and juicy! I enjoyed every bite of it! Good place to grab a nice and juicy burger. Hopefully ill be back soon to try more of their items on the menu! read more

Chelos - Bacon Avocado Cheeseburger with fries! - Mexican Near Me - Mecca, California

I'm sad that I don't live near this spot or I'd come here all the time. I got the club sandwich and short stack pancakes. Both were very delicious and prices weren't too high. My grandma who said she wasn't very hungry destroyed those pancakes haha. Definitely a good spot to stop and have some food to get away from the road for a bit! read more

Good is good, service not so much! I work in Mecca for the summer so Chelos became my go to since it was the only thing g close by.

Carne Asada Burritos Chelo's in Mecca has great menudo and offers red oil chile which makes it BOMB! I visit this location once or twice a week. They have crushed ice just like at Sonic for cheaper. I've had their breakfast muffins and breakfast burrito also their carne asada burrito all super delicious. The gals have good customer service skills and usually the wait is not too bad. I highly of this spot!!! read more

Don't let its location fool you. I have eaten here several times and have not been disappointed. The country fried steak breakfast and the huevos ranchero are legit. The staff is nice and the service is quick. read more

Chelos - Huevos ranchero - Mexican Near Me - Mecca, California

This restaurant is located in what you may call a "food court" that includes this location, Subway, a yogurt store and a check cashing branch. Although it is labeled as a Mexican food spot (which it is), they also have a very wide variety of choices. Things like Club Sandwiches, Onion Rings, Burgers, Carnea Asada Burrito, etc. Also, an all day breakfast menu that didn't look half bad... A guy next to me had steak and eggs for lunch and it looked rather tasty! The only photo for this location was taken by me, of what I got. The ever illusive double cheese burger and fries with a coke. The burger "with everything" has lettuce, tomato, chopped onions and thousand island dressing. The burger was VERY GOOD, but very very greasy... But hey, if that's what your into! Big portions too! I'm a big cat and couldn't finish my whole meal. Now, why you may ask, did I only rate it a three? Service: Very slow, waiting at the register as the people talked in the back right in front of me for about 3 minutes. Price: I paid $9 for the entire meal. Now yes that's not all that bad, but there is a Del Taco about 30 yards away that I could get the same meal for 6$. CLEANLINESS!!!!: The table I was eating on was not cleaned (none were) and there was more than once occasion where a fly either landed on my table, head, or FOOD! Overall, the rating of A-OK is the best I can do... read more

Food can be hit-or-miss sometimes very good sometimes not so much Their hamburger patties are tough Around October or November of 2016 they said they were going to add a $0.75 surcharge for all debit card and credit card orders so I quit going here unless I had cash I used to enjoy getting breakfast here particularly pancakes and their pork sausage which was pretty tasty but now that Denny's has opened right next door their food Denny's food puts Chelos food to shame read more

they have the best cheeseburgers w fries they're so quick to take and make your order!!! its clean, too.

Definitely recommend this place! Food is really good. They are always busy but they don't take long in giving your food.

Got a breakfast burrito, tasted good and was of decent portion. Next time ill get a burger, since those looked great. Will stop by again if im in town read more

It's a travel stop, in a food court, in the middle of an Agriculture Mecca. It's a go to stop for the Machaca Burrito, would be hot for some, ask for an extra salsa which is GREAT! If you tip at time of order the Very Friendly Staff will take Very good care of you. If you're a smuck, you get what you pay for, remember, it's a food court. This five star is for the best spot in the "area", for the Machaca, for lunch or breakfast on the road, I'm not taking a date here, but good food on the road. read more

I've been in there a many times on my trips to to I.V.. I have ordered burgers, sandwiches and breakfast burritos. I ordered the bacon breakfast burrito and when I hit the road I pulled it out and unwrapped it. It was a lot smaller than usual and after two bites I Pulled over to unwrap it. It was mostly hash browns, eggs and no bacon and no cheese. I wrapped it and stopped back in there on the way back to the I.E. and spoke with the asst. manager. I explained the situation and she took the burrito to the back room to inspect it. She came out and told me the bacon was chopped into little pieces and the cheese was melted? I told her no and asked for my money back. She wouldn't acknowledge a refund but repeated the chopped bacon pieces and melted cheese. I wasn't in the mood to argue so I said keep it, you got me for $8 bucks and walked out. If you're going into the I.V. there are other good places in Main Street Calipatria and in Westmoreland with their brand new truck stop. read more

Outstanding small hole in the wall..!!! Shredded beef burrito!! And bacon avocado burger..!! I will stop here again !!!

A lot of options to choose from food wise/ but not a lot of options as far as restaurants. I had the huevos rancheros. I give the food a solid 4/5 decent food decent prices. Either that or I'm really hungry!! read more

Wow I have never in my life had something with so much salt! And pepper! Also please stop placing the order paper on the actual food it's disgusting! Gas side didn't even check my ID for alcohol purchase place needs some work. read more

Great food stop headed up to Joshua Tree. Noticed they had an A health rating while we were there too.

Just thinking of this place makes me hungry! While not exactly pretty, their burgers are amazing and I have yet to find a worthy contender for their seasoned fries. The only reason I give give this place 4 stars is because I have yet to expand my horizons and order something other than burgers and burritos haha. Also, great staff! read more

Went for a ride with friends today down to the east end of the valley. We stopped to see the Mecca travel center and decided to eat at Chelo's Burgers and we were not disappointed. It's very clean, the food was good and the service was excellent. Such nice people especially at the burger place. Chandi should have those young ladies training for his other establishments, much better service out there. By the way we had burgers, and two in the party had omelets, all delicious. Thank you for this experience. read more

Not bad. I had the carne asada burrito which was very good. It was a little greasy but not too greasy. Service a little slow but not too bad. Most defiantly would eat here instead of the filthy Del Taco next door. read more

Great spot to gas up and grab a tasty breakfast burrito to go. Not bad for $5.55. Pleasant service with a smile
