Reviews of Chelas

This text has been translated automatically. Show original »

Had a summer evening here that was really 10 points! Why it still doesn't get more than 3 (weak 4) is because the food unfortunately lacks something. First we ate guacamole, esquites (corn mix) and nachos (i.e. real nachos), incredibly good! For that we ordered a jug of spicy margaritha which was incredible!! SO good, but very spicy. Unfortunately, it didn't get any better than with the snacks. Ate 3 different tacos, the fish was good but not wow, the carnitas were okay but lacked sting. The best was flank fried tacos that were served in a marrow bone.
I drank a Chilean riesling that was delicious, and a pinot noir that was also good. Not so typical of the grape, but lovely you can tell that it is not old world. Rarely drinks Chilean wines, nice surprise!
Finally we ordered dessert, some kind of cake that I don't remember the name of. It was okay no favorite, tasted a bit like wet sponge cake. The espresso martini on the other hand what a hit!

I don't know if I would have gotten the same feeling of Chelas if it wasn't summer and you sat indoors, but to start at the sister wine bar opposite with a glass of incredible Chilean rose wine and then walk across the street and sit outside on a July evening in the sun at Chelas was a very lovely experience! Our waiter was fantastically nice and also the owner was very nice and came out and conversed.

Will definitely be back before the summer is over!

Unfortunately, at first they maintained quality but gradually just stopped caring. Again, a place that went from passion to just wanting to make money without giving back in flavor.
Not worth the price, not price-friendly, and not good.
The quesadillas were a joke, two taco breads stuffed with basically crème fraiche. My 4-year-old niece can "make" this.
The fish tacos have lost quality, tasting only of mayo.
The bone marrow tacos were disappointing.

We had a nice waiter.

Well, I have to be honest: not recommended! It's a cozy place, but the noise level is loud and it's hard to have a conversation at a normal volume in the crowded restaurant. The menu features several exciting Mexican options, but the tacos that come out are not particularly good. Unfortunately. If you go here, my tip is not to order the Spicy Margarita. Especially not BEFORE dinner. I had it before, knowing that I was ordering something spicy. But this one was undrinkable, and several of us had to leave the drink untouched after a sip. There are other really good Mexican restaurants in Stockholm to try instead!

Cooling and a bit messy place with lots of exciting dishes. I had tacos with bone marrow last time. Also quite cramped, people are running around everywhere and the staff can be hard to reach.

Riktig pärla. Personalen är trevlig. Mysig uteservering på sommaren. Men maten, WOW! Om ni vill äta riktig genuin mexikansk mat som också är riktigt prisvärd i Stockholm måste ni gå hit.

Mediocre. It's fine for a casual outing if someone else has booked it, but it's not a place I would choose over others in the same category. Disappointing!

Lovely atmosphere, a lot of people even though it was a Thursday, and several vegan dishes to choose from. Recommended!

Okay, I have a fondness for Latin American and Spanish food... And not just because my ex is from Central America.

I can get a crazy craving for tacos, chili, beans, and churros, and eventually, I tried Chelas with a friend.

We started with totopos with corn and queso fresco dip, as well as guacamole. The guacamole was just okay, but the other dip was incredibly good.

We then shared Cochinita Pibil and Carnitas, both of which tasted very good. A minor downside was that they didn't have double tortillas in their tacos.

Churros came with Dulce de Leche AND chocolate. ¡Bien Rico!

Nice and quirky location, as well as fast, informative, and friendly service.

En perfekt plats för en middag för två. Vi fick ett trevligt bemötande från start, okomplicerat och effektivt trots att vi kom tidigt till vårt bokade bord.

Menyn hade en bra balans av olika alternativ att välja på.

Vi började med en majsröra och beställde nachos till. När röran kom fick vi instruktioner att blanda ihop komponenterna själva, det tyckte jag var ett väldigt trevligt sätt att servera på, kändes mysigt. Nachoschipsen var väldigt goda, lite grövre och med en rik smak. Ett stort plus för att dessa två komponenter serverades väldigt snabbt, helt enkelt ett perfekt tilltugg innan tacosen.

Tacosen var goda. Vi tog två olika, en med friterad fisk och en med fläsk. Den med friterad fisk som kombinerades med välmatchande tillbehör blev dock helt klart favoriten! Vid servering fick vi maten presenterad för oss, ett plus för det!

Till efterrätt blev det churros som var alldeles krispiga utanpå och mjuka inuti, toppade med socker och dolce de leche. SÅ goda! Perfekt mängd att dela.

Tips! Deras margarita var riktigt god och passade perfekt både som fördrink och till all mat.

Services kändes överlag väldigt bra och självklar. Rekommenderar helt klart ett besök och jag själv kommer göra återbesök för att testa mer på menyn.

The food was a total disappointment. Cevichen was so strong that it barely went to eat. The cod in Cevichen was not fresh but from the frozen back, that is, completely dry and dumb. The Tacosen with flank roast tasted absolutely nothing. The service was cluttered, we had four different waiters. My friend ordered the white wine of a waitress, another waiter came with red wine, a third then came with white wine. No question if we wanted dessert. Extremely bad, strongly discouraged.

Supergod mat! Härliga smaker såväl på mat- som drinkmenyn. Personalen ger toppenservice utan att för den skull vara för påträngande. Varm, familjär stämning. Rekommenderas verkligen!

Sure it's OK, but... Mexican, it is perhaps more to the name than the food. Cevichen (or Cebiche, that's the same thing) please, however, a bit too strong for the common man. When we asked to get bread-very common to bring down the strength of the chilli-we were told that "in Mexico one uses only tortillas", which if it were true, and it is not, does not deport the friendliness of having different kinds of bread.
Otherwise it was good, nopales-cactus-in strips on tortillas was very pleasant and well-composed. The staff is the biggest asset, very nice and fast.

Väldigt mysig atmosfär, funkar lika bra för kompisgänget som dejten. Lagom ljudnivå.
Maten är helt ok, trots lite speciella inslag på menyn som benmärgtacos och caktustacos blir det ingen wowfaktor. Det mesta smakar lite likadant - starkt! Plus för supergod guacamole och spröda nachochips, minus för att de måste beställas som separata rätter, känns som att de annars är en given kombo.
Goda men dyra drinkar och trevlig personal.

Probably the only restaurant in Stockholm with real Mexican food (and not just tacos). Staff is really friendly too.

Nice place, good mezcal and cocktails, the enchiladas do not bite anything, and it did not have much flavor, perhaps if they sold some extra spicy sauces, because the red sauce they have either, maybe the flavor is moderate because it is in Sweden, but even if it is a real extra sauce , waiters had a lot to do because the food came half cold, and neither spoke Spanish that i cut a little of the Mexican experience I expected, but it was still easy to communicate in Swedish or English equally all the staff very friendly.

Vi prövade alla de olika tacos de hade. Fläsk, när, veg och fisk. Helt smaklösa. Lite av de såserna som kom med var bara starka men ingen smak. Skulle inte rekommendera detta ställe.
