Chelino’s Mexican Restaurant is busy from day to night serving patrons in the Creekside Park area with Mexican fare that is truly delicioso. The rust-colored building has a diner feel, but its colorful artwork and woven tapestries will make you feel as though you're dining in an authentic restaurant in Mexico.

It's not uncommon to find every booth full at Chelino's Mexican Restaurant, as the family-run taqueria is popular for both lunch and dinner. Seasoned Californians who know their Mexican food come back time after time to dine on generous portions of carne asada and pork chimichangas, but you'll also find massive burritos stuffed to the brim. Grab a booth and the friendly wait staff will swing by with a serving of crispy tortilla chips to start, and be sure to explore the wide variety of salsa flavors at the self-serve salsa bar. The cooler boasts a great selection of Mexican cervezas for of-age guests, but this casual eatery just as great for a family meal.
