    Beef burrito
    Nicole M.

    Very unassuming from the outside, but a hidden gem. Absolutely delicious. Tender beef, very flavorful salsa. Great service. Not a sit down place - you walk in, order, they bring it to you. Would absolutely go back and would highly recommend.

    Wow, we love it here. The food is so fresh and handmade very authentic. Made corn and flour tortillas. The meat is juicy and flavorful and very moist... sauces are tasty and just the right spice and the host is super friendly and customer service forward. Make this is your new favorite like we have.

    Sorry I couldn't post a "pretty" photo of the food. I forgot to take one because I was so excited to dig in! The carnitas taco was my favorite! It was so so good! The people who were working were smiley and very nice! I felt really bad because we accidently stayed until 15-20 minutes to close but they were not at all pushy which was very appreciated. Definetly a hole in the wall, definetly good!

    Burrito

    Fast friendly service. The location is easy to find with ample parking since it's located in a strip mall. I ordered all of my roofing crew carne Asada burritos with a large bag of chips, salsa and guacamole. The salsa was delicious! The burritos were tasty, I wish there was a little more meat in there but overall the taste was good and I would come back. The dining area is small but very clean.

    This restaurant is INFESTED with giant black flies! So gross!

    Good food and fast enough you can use it as a "to-go" place, but also a decent place to sit down and eat at.

    Go for the tacos. Other dishes could be more flavorful. Enchilada sauce kinda bland. But tacos and tamales good.

    Best street tacos hands down - and so much more affordable than Tacovore. Always fresh and always on time!

I was greeted right away and told to pick any seat. There isn't a traditional bar area, just seating throughout the restaurant. The space itself is really cute and welcoming, although it was very quiet with only one other table occupied during my visit. After looking over the menu and hearing both the online praise and my server's recommendation, I decided on the birria plate. It arrived in a reasonable amount of time. One small detail that stood out was the presentation--the consommé was simply spooned onto the plate, which made everything look a bit messy. The birria itself was tender and flavorful, but it still felt like it was missing something that would have made it memorable. The rice was disappointing, using a frozen-style vegetable medley with lima beans, which, in my opinion, didn't belong in the dish. The beans on the side were fine, but nothing particularly noteworthy. At $28, I expected better quality, a more polished presentation, or a larger portion. While the meal wasn't bad, it didn't live up to the glowing reviews or justify the price, and I left feeling underwhelmed.

So I called to see if it was something I could pick up tomorrow, as I really didn't wanna drive back again tonight. I ended up getting Erin, the owner, who was so kind about the situation. She remembered writing down my order and didn't question me saying my item was missing. She didn't need to go ask the cooks or question if I was lying. I get the need for it sometimes, but it just felt very kind and genuine how she handled it. Seriously, 10/10 with customer service. I have been going to Chula's for years now. The food is great, I love the creamy enchilada sauce. I have had good experiences and bad experiences here over the years. Erin's positivity really made me feel like those bad experiences were an employee having a bad day vs the standard she keeps for her restaurant. I will continue to keep coming back just to make sure I am supporting her. It doesn't cost anything to be kind, but you can make a difference on another person's day with it.

It was a Thursday night so it wasn't too busy and we were able to get a spot in the parking lot without any issues. We were greeted immediately by a friendly hostess and shown a table. We got chips and salsa for free (a staple!) while we looked over the menu. I got the pollo a la crema and my partner got the steak fajitas. My food was great! It came with three tortillas, I got flour. My partner's food also came with three (flour) tortillas. You have a choice of corn or flour when you order. The chicken and crema sauce tasted so good! I wish I had a spoon so I could drizzle the sauce over the chicken in the tortilla but I just ended up dipping it instead and that worked fine. The steak fajitas were also good! The rice and beans were just okay, they didn't seem to have much seasoning and needed a lot more salt. We were seated in a cozy little sunroom with a bar. The whole place looked very clean, even the fake plants way up by the ceiling didn't look dusty at all. The people working here were very nice and attentive. The prices were also very reasonable for the amount of food we got - I have lunch for another day! All in all this was a great spot! I definitely want to try more things on the menu. Just be prepared to have to salt and pepper your rice and beans if you get some.

But for the most part very good the enchiladas are fabulous, the tlayuda delicious and many other meals. I genuinely liked this place. But after tonight, I have to say that the complete lack of respect shown toward the food was mind-blowing. There were three things tonight that simply could not be forgiven. 1. The Ceviche Trio The pulpo was chewy as a bouncy ball wrapped in rubber bands--completely inedible. The fish had no salt, no acidity, and was cut so poorly that I made the joke that the cook must have forgotten his knives at home, thrown it against the wall a few times, and said, "Well, that's good enough." The shrimp was effectively a cheap riff on shrimp cocktail, if they had remembered to clean the shrimp before serving it. I've had better ceviche from Taco Bell. Granted, that was from a vagrant selling what I thought was ceviche outside Taco Bell, so take that for what it's worth. Either way, it was loads better. I hope it was fish. 2. The Al Pastor Tacos -- "Served Table-Side" When you read that something is being served table-side, you imagine someone coming out of the kitchen with beautifully marinated, succulent pork piled high on a proper trompo, topped with pineapple, slowly roasting and caramelizing away as you wait for it to be carved right there at your table. Instead, out comes a busser with a trompito, spinning a metal skewer and attempting to give the meat some sort of roasted effect with a blowtorch emblazoned with "Ace Hardware." He then passes me this metal box containing room-temperature, dry pork that tasted like it was made with a seasoning packet. Not to mention there was no practical way to eat it. You basically had to tear the meat from the skewer with your hands because the apparatus was so cumbersome. If the butter knife provided had actually been capable of cutting the meat, it would have fallen directly into my lap. It was as if they took the iconic mid-century dish made famous in Mexico City and decided to serve it à la Easy-Bake Oven. This was an absolute failure of a dish from concept to execution. 3. The Pork Fajitas We have all had and loved fajitas: sizzling meat, onions, and peppers arriving at the table still sizzling away. This was not that. This was stew meat in a puddle of broth. Soggy and overcooked, with no caramelization and barely any flavor. One Positive My brother said his pork belly tacos were nice. And honestly, that's part of what makes tonight so disappointing. We've been here several times. I genuinely liked this place. I understand that not every dish is going to be a winner, and I've certainly had meals here where I thought, "Well, I won't order that again." But tonight wasn't a matter of one disappointing dish. It was three dishes that felt like nobody involved had any respect for what they were supposed to be.
