La Chelinda is a cute and colorful traditional Mexican food focused spot. Upon walking in I absolutely loved the bright colors of pink, blue, and orange that decorated the tables and walls. The wrap around bar that boasted their drink specials. My friend and I were seated quickly and we flipped through their menu. We decided to share an order of their chelinda nachos that were chips topped with salsa, guacamole, jalapenos, and melted cheese. I got their chicken tinga tacos and my friend got their chicken quesadilla. Everything was delicious! The only thing that was missing from my tacos was some salsa, onions, and cilantro. The waiter was super busy, so I was unable to ask for this. However, the chicken was okay and had just a hint of spice. I think it could've had more spice for my taste. I think I preferred the quesadilla and nachos compared to the tacos. The nachos were filling and the guacamole was so yummy and fresh. It paired well with the sangria mexicana--which is sangria with some tequila. It was super big and refreshing!
It was my birthday, so they turned up a song and got me a sombrero to wear. I had a fun time with this! I would come back for more nachos. read more
