We have our habits, and one of them is a powerful hankering for kickass Mexican food. Now, the Bay Area's abundance of taquerias and taco trucks is well-documented, and we have developed real dependencies on a number of them ourselves. But we come here today to talk about a sit-down place with fajitas, combinacion plates, and a full liquor license, a place where rice and refried beans are the default side, a place where the margaritas and tortillas are top-notch and there's never any talk of paying for the endless bounty of hot, salty chips and fresh tongue-burning housemade salsa — it all just keeps comin'. In short, a California restaurant with a Tex-Mex heart. And friends, that place is Celia's Mexican Restaurant.
