What a find this place was in Santa Rosa. Dying for a snack and Michelada we stopped here. Order when you walk in at the counter with an expansive menu I had no idea what to hope for. Watching the drink being prepared must have been like watching DaVinci work, it was out of this world. The green spicy sauce was delish on the enchiladas and the burrito was enormous. The service was fast and attentive. The restaurant was clean, hospitable and well lit. There is even outdoor seating. I highly recommended this one.

I lovvvve Chelinos! I go to Mexico often. And Chelinos somewhat compares. We all know that food in the States is placating to American tongue. CHELINOS is the most authentic you can get without going to Mexico! .

Best food I've had. Just like mom made. Thanks Chelino's you guys are great

Been coming to this place for decades. Nice clean Mexican food with a somewhat authentic taste. A little Americanized AKA not that greasy.

A great restaurant but a little pricey for Mexican food. Its well worth it anyhow. The service was great fast and reliable. The atmosphere is superior to most Mexican restaurant if you want to compare it

Chelinos is by far and away the best Mexican restaurant for quality of food. Everything is always delicious. I love their grande combination and they have amazing refried beans. We go there regularly when in the mood for the best food. Other restaurants like Juanita’s, Mocajentes, El Charros in Santa Rosa or Sonoma Eats and El Molina Central in Sonoma have delicious food but not on the level. Unfortunately, Chelinos is quite pricey $$$ comparatively to the others. Maybe it’s just true that you get what you pay for. The food has always been excellent but prior to COVID, the prices were incredibly reasonable and they used to have a deluxe salsa bar which sadly has never returned. There was also an incredibly warm, welcoming atmosphere as employees made a point of connecting with customers. Don’t get me wrong, the service is still just fine but it’s nothing to write home about. 1. Less warmth and service 2. Pricey menu 3. No salsa bar (trying to save money?) We used to only eat at Chelinos, but now we spread ourselves around because of the aforementioned reasons. BRING BACK THE SALSA BAR!! But, if you love quality Mexican food like most Californians, you are missing out if you haven’t been to Chelinos.

This place serves the most awesome Mexican food!! I had a traditional plates with two tacos rice and beans. The salsa verde which they make homemade was out of control it was some of the best salsa I have it had in my life You must try this spot.

Hi, so $7 (before tax) for a vegetarian, no extra ad-ins TACO is actually insane. Tastes great though.

This review is based on the Caldo de Res (beef soup). I came 2 days in a row to order it, I really like it on day 1, so I came back the next day. Same results, a huge bowl, plenty of meat and veggies. Soup just hits different on a cold, rainy day. Broth was tasty and served hot, so be careful. My only complaint would be the price, $23 for the soup.

We used to LOVE coming here with our family for over a decade. Just eat there and was sadly disappointed. The enchiladas and beans were microwaved, making the tortillas chewy and tough. Really bummed.

The food and service here are amazing!!! The main dishes were filled with flavor and I kept complimenting my dish. Unfortunately the prices are so outrageous. The menu shows one price, but the price you pay is double what you see. False advertising at its finest. Paid $75 for 2 people before tip.
