We all do the same thing when hunger strikes, start to find something to eat. Seems like a no-brainer. Of course, we have so many options around us that things start to get complicated. We search for the best Mexican food in Laguna Niguel to get started. Spoiler alert, we end up at Chelas Mexican Kitchen.
Best Mexican Food in Laguna Niguel
Chelas Mexican Kitchen is where you will find the best Mexican food in Laguna Niguel for every occasion from date night to parties! What makes the best Mexican food in any city? The answer might be different for everyone.
There are hungry guests for every restaurant. Of course, there are some restaurants that are more popular than others. The question is, what makes those restaurants stand outs among hundreds? The answer lies in a few separate things.
We have to factor in freshness, authenticity preference, and ambiance of where we’re eating. These things come together to make a meal better. Cook a whole turkey on a random Tuesday in June and it won’t taste as good as it will when you’re among family and friends on a special evening.

Authentic Mexican Food at Chelas Mexican Kitchen
We can’t replicate your holiday meal, we don’t have access to your friends and family lists. However, we can provide you with food that is good enough to make you want to share it with your family and friends. It all starts with the recipes.
Chelas Mexican Kitchen was started by Karla Vasquez, an immigrant from El Salvador. Her parents brought their recipes with them and would serve them up to her nightly as she grew up.
Those recipes are the same recipes we implement at Chelas Mexican Kitchen. You can’t get more authentic than an abuela’s cooking.

Fresh Ingredients at Chelas Mexican Kitchen
The recipes are what help us keep our title as the best Mexican food in Laguna Niguel. However, we stay far more local for ingredients. Our thought is that we should help support the community that helps support us.
We do that by shopping local for ingredients, putting money into the local economy. We also take advantage of that freshness from ingredients that were grown just an hour or so away, rather than canned ingredients from the other side of the world.
You can taste the freshness in everything from our salsa to our burritos.

Around the Dinner Table
Food is the great bonding agent. We go to a meal for our first dates, we share a feast on special occasions, and we plan for food before every excursion. Food is a way for us to experience others and to open ourselves up to others around the table.
Of course, we need a table and a space that makes us more comfortable in doing so. We believe in this wholly, which is why we created a safe, welcoming environment in which to enjoy our food.
We want you to feel as comfortable as you do around your own dinner table at home. We’d say you’re family when you’re here, but that’s not quite what we want. We want you to feel like this is your space and we are just providing you with the food. Come visit us today!
