The global outbreak of COVID-19, or coronavirus, continues to evolve and disrupt many aspects of our daily lives. We understand what a challenging time this is for everyone, and Celinda's first concern is for you and your families. We hope you are all safe and taking precautions to stay that way. Celinda's has taken added precautions to protect both our team members and all of you. We've augmented daily cleaning procedures with the use of disinfectant products, have made hand sanitizer readily available, and are actively promoting best practices recommended by the CDC, and the OC Health Agency for the most up to date information for our community. So if anyone needs to feed the family we'll be here for you to get 'take out'. Thank you for being a valued customer and your understanding during this time, and we will continue to keep you informed of any changes.

What Our Customers Say About Us

★★★★★
"Good nachos, good chips, good pico de gallo, and good veggie tostada bowl. They have BY FAR the best chips and pico de gallo, both of which are made there. And they offer their chips both salted and unsalted, which is nice. The tostada bowl is super huge and filling (and most of the time I can't even finish it) but it's really good."

"There is not much more to say than the food here is absolutely delicious, beyond good. I have been going here since I was a kid, therefore, I have literally come to this restaurant hundreds of times. My parents used to take the family here sometimes twice a week. There are not many weeks in my life where I did not come to this place and eat awesome food."

"My family has been going to Celinda's since I can remember, and they are my favorite take-out Mexican place! Cheese enchiladas are good...so are the chicken tacos. Tacos come with two corn tortillas wrapped in foil. Don't miss out on buying the homemade guac and chips. I could eat those all day! They now have cinnamon sugar tortillas chips I have yet to try but I'll save that for next trip!"
