    Perfect little accidentally find. An adorable little roadside taco shack... and I mean that endearing. Fantastic margaritas, yummy queso and absolutely the best homemade flour tortillas I have ever had... the best tacos in St Thomas.... PROMISE!

    Taco 14 and 19, Cajun shrimp were so fresh and the homemade tortillas were awesome!!! The pepper tuna was a cool twist to tacos!

    My husband and I are obsessed with triple D and Guy needs to fly his red convertible down to the islands and check out this spot. Awesome taco spot with great food, drinks, staff, and atmosphere. We had 7 1/2, 9, 24, 19 and they were delicious! Cool twist to tacos! Our waitress was the owners daughter and she was adorable and so kind. The bartender was knew of our small town back home in the states. Small freaking world! We had an amazing experience and delicious food!!! We heard that the food in USVI was nothing to write home about, but this spot was a gem!

    Let's taco about it!!! Best unique tacos I had in the Caribbean! These flavors were put together just perfect! Freshly squeezed margaritas were refreshing and on point! Tried the queso dip with three different toppings and whoaaaaa! It was fire!!! Great service and atmosphere! If you can't decide what to eat go to Tacos Chelles and you won't be disappointed!

    This roadside taco shop is excellent. I'm vegetarian and have pictured here all of their vegetarian options. Highly recommend you stop by this airy and authentic gem.

    Seriously the best Ahi Tuna taco I have ever eaten!!! So good - highly recommend this spot if you are in the area. The ahi tuna taco was served in a crispy wonton shell which tasted amazing! I also ordered the queso blanco which was delicious! They also have a great drink menu. I ordered my favorite local beer - St Johns Island Hoppin IPA.

    We went here on a high review of friends who have a place in St Thomas. All 4 of my family loved it! We had fish tacos,l, chicken tacos and the chips & salsa. Loved it! (Fyi, ever single place in St Thomas is extremely on top of the masks.) Forgot to mention, they have parking across the street.

    Place is a great destination for lunch! The staff in the kitchen and outside are very personable. I was shocked to find $10 margaritas in pint glasses made with patron! Tacos on average are $8 each. The shrimp with bacon jam and tuna were amazing! The mahi fish tacos were ok. Mike from Des Moines who waited on us and my 1 year old was great!!!

    Fresh squeezed margs on deck! (No bar seating due to COVID)

    Amazing tacos. Truly amazing. we are visiting from Michigan and I haven't ever had better tacos. They are known for house made tortillas and fresh squeezed lime juice = great margs!! The only downside is it closes at 7pm, but it's worth it to come early! Huge taco selection, reasonably priced, adorable decor, GREAT Margs. I'm here for only a week and already planning a return trip!

    The tacos here were amazing, I had the number 10 and my wife had the number 17. The flavors they put together were amazing. We also had the 3 amigos chips with 3 different sauces, fire roasted salsa, queso and green chili ranch, all I can say about all these is WOW. Usually we don't go places twice on vacation, this place may be the exception.

    #3 and #12

    Stopped here for lunch while on vacation. It is an excellent taco restaurant! The prices are per taco and two was a nice meal. These are not your standard street tacos. They are so much more. I highly recommend the pork with pineapple salsa (#3) and the shredded beef with Monterrey Jack cheese and "Diablo sauce" (#12). The play on words in the name is also very clever and i didn't pick up on it right away. When I read it, I was pronouncing the "ch" as a hard "ch" sound, kind of like chili. But while there we learned that the owner's name is Michelle, which changed the ch to a "sh" sound. Love it!

    Spicy pineapple margarita, chips queso and salsa, and 4 different tacos.

    Super delicious tacos and margaritas. The bartender was super friendly and the service was great! Will definitely be back.

The tacos were flavorful and the ingredients tasted fresh, especially with their house salsa on the side. I also grabbed a bottle of water ($3.09). One thing to note is that 18% gratuity is automatically added to all checks, which is common on the island. Also the billl is slightly less if pay by cash. They also had some interesting specials posted like two pork belly tacos with rice and beans for $22, and margaritas like a Spicy Pomegranate Lunazul Margarita ($15) and Orange Cranberry Margarita ($13). Overall, the food was tasty, the atmosphere was fun, and the service was smooth.

One negative, our receipt had already included gratuity and when they handed me receipt, there was another blank line asking for gratuity (again!) and showing % options. This is very deceiving. Read carefully so you don't accidentally double tip! Oh, and there is an additional 3.5% non cash convenience fee. Thank you!
