What Kevin’s C doesn't like about Celia's Mexican Palo Alto:
Celia's is normally our go-to place for Mexican food when visiting family in Palo Alto. We've been going to Celia's for years, but will probably look for other options in the future. The food was mediocre at best. View all feedback. What Mikem likes about Celia's Mexican Palo Alto:
Always a fun, comfortable neighborhood restaurant with great Mexican food and friendly staff. Live Mariachi band and singers on Mother's Day was a great, surprise treat. View all feedback.

Great food, great price, fun atmosphere! Be sure to try the margaritas. Among the best chips/salsa in the Bay Area.

Nice food but rushed service. We felt pressurized to hurry and they simple gave us the check in the end even though we wanted to stay longer and had more drinks
