Danny was our server and provided incredible service. Our food arrived piping hot and I had the best Michelada. We had fajitas for two and beef fajita nachos and both were delicious! read more

If your a fan of "Ben's original orange rice" ... this is the place! If you like Calidad tortilla chips ... this is the place! But only order them after noon, they charge for them before noon. Why? If you're a fan of thin, watered down, queso blanco ( to go with your commercial chips)... this is the place! The refried beans had a distinct fish flavor. Guessing they have a dual use skillet. I love Chili Rellenos. When Chelo's opened several years back I would order some to go after eating some there, so good. My experience today found them to have a very thin, burnt, blackened, coating. They apparently use the same queso blanco as filling, sad! As with all good things, it much come to an end. At the very least they got rid of their good cooks, or, change management, or perhaps sold the original Chelo's business ! If you're a fan of a hot meal .... this is NOT the place. read more

If you want all the quality but without all the bells and whistles, fanfare, traffic, and high prices of the fancy pants Mexican restaurants in town, you are better off stopping in here. I've been twice now and it never disappoints. On this latest visit we ordered the veggie quesadilla and the enchiladas Bandera style with all three sauces to make it look like the Mexican flag. Everything was cooked flawlessly and tasted delicious. With their chips and salsa they also provide another sauce that's more orange in color, tangy in flavor, and less spicy. It's unique and delicious! But a fair warning: the chips aren't endless. Any additional baskets cost $4. I get it. Anyways, it will help keep me from gorging myself as always. Service has always been great and prices are much more reasonable than the trendy places in town. The restaurant is kept up in good shape - not a divey hole in the wall, but definitely a hidden gem. read more

This is a cute restaurant hidden in Wolfforth. When you walk in, it definitely feels authentic. I think the prices are fair. The food did not amaze me though. I thought it was average and I finished it, but I don't think it was good enough to come back. The workers were friendly. Two of my major complaints has that it took a long time to get my order. This could be a good sign because it means all the food is made fresh and hot. But it definitely took longer than expected, especially since the restaurant was empty, and I was the only customer. The other complaint for me is that the food is very greasy/oily. read more

Chelo's Mexican Restaurant - Bottom dish is tilapia plate. Top is street tacos - Mexican Near Me - Wolfforth, Texas

If I could give 1 star I would, horrible food, service was ok I don't remember the young ladies name but she was rude.

We found this place not far from our house and decided to try it. We were so glad that we did! Service is friendly, fast, and professional. The restaurant is very clean and well kept. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcome in their nicely decorated, but casual environment. Plenty of festive music, it not too loud. Chips and salsa are very good, and they usually bring two different kinds of salsa. We've only had the fajitas, but they are really good! Good cuts of chicken, tons of vegetables, all perfectly cooked. Also plenty of food for two people to share, and at a reasonable price. Will be regular customers, for sure! read more

Fantastic and authentic. Charro beans were best I've had in ages and the birria flautas special was so tender and seasoned beautifully. 10/10 read more

Awesome authentic food and great salsa. Super friendly service and intimate atmosphere.

Amazing authentic Mexican food,great service , nice small quaint restaurant that's not overly crowded and loud!

I freaking love this restaurant! I grew up around Odessa, Texas, so I was a little spoiled when it comes to Mexican food. Lubbock has some nice places, but I've never found "the one," until NOW! I love the menudo, the tacos-tripa for me, and carnitas and bistec for my husband...the queso blanco, all the salsas. The only thing I don't like is all the running I'm going to have to do to work off all the calories I consume! PS-The staff is awesome and super helpful. They have a rewards program as well-for frequent flyers. read more

The el special is awesome. My go to every visit. Authentic Mexican food made with Love!! You can tell by the packed parking lot!!

Food was great as always and service was also very good. Authentic Mexican cuisine that is reasonably priced

We have breakfast at Chelo's every so often. We have always enjoyed it, but yesterday was fantastic. The very unique green sauce is so awesome, I chose to have it on my chiliquilles. Great dish and great service. It will continue to be one of our go-tos for breakfast. read more

This is the best Mexican restaurant in Lubbock by far. I love this place so much and crave it on a weekly basis. So far I've tried the Carne Asada, Carne Chilanga, Carne Guisada, and shrimp ceviche tostada. All of them are fantastic and I guarantee anything you get will be good. read more

Chelo's Mexican Restaurant - Street tacos - Mexican Near Me - Wolfforth, Texas

We had posole and menudo, great flavor, menudo could have had less grano more meat, service is great, friebdly , either way, it was the best I've had since I moved to Lubbock, I definitely will be back, great job Chelo's read more

The best street tacos we have had this side of Austin. If you order the party portion, they cleverly arrange a whole box with sides and chips for you. I will try other things on their menu, but I can't get enough of the street tacos. Not heavily sauced, not overly seasoned with chili-powder. Just flavorful meat and corn tortilla with fresh herbs and vegetables. The sides, salsa, and queso all prove they belong as well with their deep flavors. They know what they are doing here. I'll be back for the rest of the menu. read more

This was just ok for us. Salsa is really good although a bit too salty today. I'm sure it's different each day as it's homemade. I ordered the lunch fajitas and they were filling. The enchiladas and beans were the stars of the show today. Sweet tea comes in a plastic bottle which seemed strange to us since the unsweet tea is not. Service was excellent. read more

Chelo's Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Wolfforth, Texas

Small restaurant that should be judged by the food alone! We have come 2x in 3 days! There is nothing on the menu that is not worth trying! Service is great & food is even better! Best kept secret in the Hub. Real authentic mexican food!! read more

Awesome service and delicious food got exactly what I wanted all together was a real nice place good mood and good music!!!

We had to wait for a table which we didn't mind. The food was excellent as well as the service. We would be regular customers at this establishment except for being overcharged dinner prices at lunch. If a patron orders fajitas and there's a difference in portion, the server should ask if we want the lunch or dinner portion especially when ordering from the lunch menu. We were charged 12.99 each for 9.99 lunch fajitas plus an up charge for subbing beans for rice. Very disappointing as we would love to go back if they could be trusted. read more

Our family has been frequenting this place for about six months now and this is quickly become our hands down favorite go to Mexican restaurant. If there's a better street taco in Lubbock Texas I haven't found it yet. In addition, I'm very picky about my hot sauce - and the sauce here is legit - not the boring tomato sauce and jalapeño you find so many other places. Due to the fact that I'm addicted to their street tacos I haven't branched out much to other menu items, but what I have had has not disappointed. The restaurant is always clean and the service is top notch. So run don't walk to Chelos! read more

We tried Chelo's for the first time this week. The food is amazing! Everything seems to be homemade from the sauces to the tortillas. We had chili rellanoes, enchiladas, street tacos and Chicken Mole. All were excellent. We can't wait to go back. The atmosphere is like a small diner with super friendly staff. read more

So I walk into restaurant and it says wait to be seated...I wait. Two guys walk in shortly after me and are greeted warmly. I have yet to be remotely acknowledged or even glanced at despite standing right next to the men she greeted. She immediately cleared two tables and I got excited, only to seat those two men. Here I am staring at this immaculately cleaned COVID free table, only to be passed by without acknowledgement again. Finally another waiter sees my overly impressed face and attempts find out why I'm just standing there. I'd like seating for 1 please. Walks away, and comes back to ask me how many people so I proceed to look behind as if I wasn't alone and I respond 1 I think. Still no table for me specifically.... They're shook, and have no idea what to do... read more

GREAT food, reasonably priced. My waitress was very sweet. I will go again. 2 of us had an enchilada plate. It was really good. My son had a chimichangas, we were all very happy with the quality and quantity. Also an cheese queso dip and chips Took it home, popped a Corona Extra light. Ahhhhhh. read more

My boyfriend and I had the best lunch here! We stopped on a whim here on our way from Carlsbad home to OKC, to avoid the fast food gut rot. We are so glad we stopped- not only was our food amazing, but it was quick and the service was great! Highly recommend the chicken fajitas! read more

Food was really good and service was decent. I'm giving it 4 stars because the waitress didn't get my order right. But actually it's about the best Mexican food I've had since moving to Lubbock. read more

I should have realized when i called and everything I ordered was questioned that it was not going to be a good sign. Upon picking up the food I questioned the amount of chips and asked for more. They said I had to pay for more chips and salsa! (I didn't know they charged for this) I counted the meals and noticed I was missing one. The lady who had taken my order argued and said it was all there. NOPE! Finally got the final meal and got home and it was all wrong. Ground beef chimichanga was fajita meat filled with vegetables and a big hunk of tomato. Kids chicken fajita quesadilla only had shredded chicken(not chicken fajita) and no cheese. All around one of the worse meals we have had. Will not return. read more

Great taqueria and regular Mexican dishes. Place also serves adult beverages. Highly recommended
