Chela’s in Ann Arbor is a must-visit spot for anyone craving authentic Mexican flavors. The food is simply amazing, with the tacos and tamales standing out as personal favorites. The tacos are packed with flavor, and the tamales are perfectly cooked with a delightful filling. The service is impressively quick, and the staff is always friendly, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The added bonus of a patio allows for a pleasant outdoor meal, and free parking makes the visit hassle-free. If you’re in Ann Arbor, Chela’s should definitely be on your list!

Food was nice and warm when I picked it up. Everything was correct. First thing I noticed was the green salsa I paid for was only filled to 1/2 of the container. Tacos (should) come with salsa already, so paying for an empty container is a rip off.
The carne asada tacos were decent; the meat was a bit tough and no salt. They come with one lime and a measly bunch of cilantro and onion.
The pork tamale was something I would not get again. Moist but no taste at all. It is lacking any type of salt; don’t be fooled by the green sauce inside, that’s also flavorless!
The items unfortunately only had flavor when I dumped hot salsa all over them. As a Mexican-American, this place does not serve quality food. I’d rather make the drive to Detroit for authentic and fair priced Mexican food! Primos Tacos is my favorite spot. It was worth a try.

It’s medically fast food, easy, cheap delicious. I love the new upgrades to the place.
Nice meals if you have hunger in between running errands or even for a proper meal.
I always take the veggie tacos or the veg taco meals with elote (Mexican corn) which is a must.

What a great place to eat! Chela's is in an unassuming building, but the outside is deceiving! The decor reminds me of a quaint Mexican village. The staff are all really friendly, and the food is Fantastic! I can see why they were rated best Mexican restaurant in Ann Arbor for 2023! The food is truly authentic, and it is delicious! Try the Cubana torta!

I ordered their daily special which gives you option to try both tamale and taco. I love tamale, I'd say it's on spicier side. Taco was classic with corn tortilla. They give you self-serve hot sauce options which was great. I'd also recommend upgrading daily special menu by $0.5 to enjoy Mexican soda.
