Our Guestbook
“ This place is beautiful! The chairs, the booths and the tables are all painted beautifully! The food came out SO fast and they offered everything from burgers for my 6 year old to authentic Mexican dishes for my mother and grandmother. The staff was extremely kind and even found a couple of plug-ins for my daughter’s diabetic pump receiver. Highly recommend eating here. ”
“ Best VEGAN FAJITAS in the area. (others not even close) They have a beer license but no margaritas. Colas in a cold can. Sopapillas...¡que rico! Romantic whimsical mexicampy atmosphere. ”
“ Ultimately the food is a great idea but the most recent visit was ok not as good as normal. Meat was over cooked and dry . But one disappointment out of many good experiences I will go back and try again every body has a bad day.and then when can count on being on top again. They are worth the effort thank you. ”
“ Food was great, and exactly what we were expecting. Staff were super friendly and even though they were super busy, our to-go order only took a few minutes. Cute and clean interior, and they have a DRIVE THRU, which wasn't super obvious but incredibly useful. ”
“ Snappy service. Warm tortilla chips. Guacamole is good. Lunch specials are fairly priced. Big lunch crowd confirming this is the place the locals go. Fajitas are up to the standards you'd expect from a well run Mexican restaurant. Facility is clean and updated. The pride of ownership is evident in the food and service. I'd eat here again. ”
“ El Celaya was fantastic! The salsa was nice and spicy—just the way we like it. We ordered the Hawaiian fajitas and split them, and it was more than enough food for two people. The flavors were amazing, and everything was cooked perfectly. Definitely a great place to eat—we’ll be back! ”
“ Great food and service. They really did a great job with our meals. The Tamales were some of the best I have ever had. We will definitely stop here again when we pass through Heavner. ”
“ Oh. My. God. We were diving through Heavener and I was hungry, as usual, for tacos. Decided to stop here. I went inside and ordered their barbacoa street tacos. They were so delicious that I couldn't keep my husband out of them and he KNOWS how I feel about my tacos! We went inside and got more. I would happily drive the 2 hours each way to get these barbacoa tacos. I've truly and honestly never tasted better. ”
