Delicious! My wife and I ordered the tinga chicken tostadas and asado de puerco verde (pork tips) and they were very tasty! Their salsas bring a good heat and flavor to the beans and rice as well. All around very happy and plan to come back!

Celsitas is the best authentic Mexican restaurant in Corpus Christi. They are many Tex-Mex restaurants which is ok but here it’s authentic because all the ingredients come from Mexico.Besides awesome authentic dishes, they have the best Cucumber-Lime drink that is sooo refreshing! Each dish is made fresh. Also her homemade corn tortillas are the best!! Recommend this restaurant…you won’t be disappointed!

I was not expecting the food to taste this good. I was surprised because Corpus doesn’t have many places for authentic Mexican food. Trust me, the beans, rice, and quesadilla were delicious.

Food, service, and atmosphere were okay, but nothing special. In my opinion, it is a bit overpriced. Overall, I was expecting more from this place.

This was my first time eating in this place. From the outside it looks like any other restaurant but once you step inside, you are welcomed by a unique Mexican atmosphere, everywhere you look from the walls to , to the tables, to the ceiling, there is something that transport you to an authentic Mexican restaurant. The food, the flavors, the chips and salsa, everything is so delicious. I order a Mole, the chicken was so tender, it came with homemade tortillas; it was so delicious that eat it all. I am glad we came, it was a unique and delicious experience for my eyes and taste buds :D

Fresh, fast, delicious. The atmosphere is nice too. We ordered and split the chicken tostados with rice and beans. So tasty!! There were 3 different sauce bottles to sample and try too. Would highly recommend this for a hungry crew.

I tried Celsita's for lunch today and was quite pleased. The menu changes daily and the selections today were hard to choose from! I ordered the Carné Guisada with corn tortillas to go and let me tell you it smelled so good I couldn't wait to get home with it. The beef was tender, flavorful, and the corn tortillas were delicious. The restaurant is counter service therefore go directly to the counter to place your order then find a seat. The decor was nice with the Mexican tiled tables. I will certainly go here again.I did not snap any pictures as I don't believe to go containers make for good photos.
