The restaurant was not busy. It took 10 minutes to get coffee. Then we waited another 20 minutes for cold food. I ordered 2 scrambled eggs that turned out to be egg whites chopped up. Beans so cold that the cheese turned solid again. Semi warm coffee. I was even expected to butter my own cold toast. We sent everything back and went to jack in the box. At least my breakfast jack was hot! Never again!!!

Quick stop for good food. Clean. Friendly. Prompt. All worthy of going back for more.
Beef enchiladas. Shrimp enchilada. Chili rellenos. Guacamole. All good choices.

Good beer, but it took a long time for it to arrive. Had to ask for water twice. Salsa was placed on the table, but no chips? Then why bring out salsa?? If it's because of COVID, then tell us up front, don't leave us guessing. Both dinners came out cold. One was way too. Only ate about 4 bites then pushed it away. Really disappointed.

We came for breakfast and ordered chilaquiles— don’t do it y’all! I am Mexican and I know for a fact the salsa they used was out of a can and not even good.
The coffee isn’t good, my chilaquiles came with French fries and they were soggy.
The menu says authentic Mexican and this ain’t it.
Appearance: The inside of the restaurant is weirdly dimmed, the booths are SUPER worn out, and a weird vibe overall.

We were in the restaurant Saturday. I asked if they served Cabernet. The woman looked at me like I had a hole in my head. I quickly ordered a Dos Equis. It took 20 minutes for the beer. We asked about two appetizers. They were all out. We ordered carne asada and it took an hour to get the food. I don't know why it is so popular. Is it the only game in town?

I had the Chile Verde with eggs for breakfast. Very flavorful and a very generous portion. Overall good food however there seating could use some attention, I felt all the springs of the booth we were in.

The food, and service is good. Gets busy on Sunday afternoon, due to football season. Go early and enjoy an authentic Mexican food.

Wanting something good for dinner on our way home from the river we checked out this place by reading the reviews.
Looked and sounded like our kind of place.
First it's a little run down but still good to go. The staff was friendly when we walked in and said we could sit anywhere we wanted so we chose to sit in the bar.
Short staffed it took a few minutes but we were not in a hurry anyway. The Margaritas were not all that great so went with a Coke. 1 Star.
After ordering the food came quickly and service was good as they checked up on us with regularity. 3 Stars.

Terrible customer service! No one picks up the phone and if the call goes through they will leave you hanging. Such a shame

Friends and I went to salvation mountain and were extremely hungry after our adventure. We picked this restaurant based on the pictures and Yelp review. Let me tell you it was disappointing the food tasted very bland to all of us. Our food was not hot. I ordered chicken mole and the chicken was barely luke warm. The server only checked in on us once. Very disappointed, I never complain but I hope this can help the business improve.

Solid choice. Solid food, especially the Chile rellenos, and including the complimentary chips. Employees consistently cheerful and helpful despite obvious understaffing which I am guessing is COVID-related. You might have to wait a little longer for your order but that is the state of things right now and no reason to dock a star.

Food was not good and service terrible. Waitress didn't listen to what the group wanted and did not refill drinks properly. Chicken was pink.

My parents ordered caldo de res yesterday and I guess someone must have dropped the salt container in there because it was salty to the point where it was not edible. They called to let them know and their response was "oh sorry", they didn't even offer to give them another plate or refund their money.

Came here around the year 2013 or so with my two boys (then), we had some really good Mexican Food at the Hacienda attached by. The place is clean and good, I would totally recommend the bar side (Las Chabelas) by my experience right by... if I had a sitter I would totally go have a lovely Chabela

Great authentic Mexican food at a reasonable price. Mexicali Margarita is so good you want a to go cup to savor.
Don't be discouraged by decor, could use a bit of dia de los Muertos to freshen up, but food and staff are excellent.

Stopped by the bar last night.
It was a Sunday night.
The service was excellent!
Hillary is a great bartender! She's very professional, very courteous & on top of her job making sure the tables etc., are clean.
I feel very bad for forgetting to leave her a tip.
Next time I go there, whether or not Hillary's working, Im gonna make sure to leave her a tip. Great job Hillary

I took my grandbabies Cattle Call weekend. Having moved out of the area, this was going to be their very first special quesadilla. I had been telling them about this little slice of cheesy heaven all week.
When we got to the restaurant, we were told they were all out. It was cattle call after all. My babies were crushed. I told the very sweet waitress we were there just for carne asada burritos and special quesadillas. We considered leaving to start a quest to find another place- even though Las Cabelas is BY FAR our favorite.
Ten minutes later she came back to tell us they were starting a new

The best chabelas in imperial valley. They have delicious food (not the BEST Mexican food in the valley), great prices and excellent customer service. Their aguas are amazinggg and made fresh everyday and probably the best in the valley. Their soups are also some of the best and love the complementary chips and salsa. Overall, they're one of the best restaurants in the valley with consistently good service, food and prices.

The last time I walked into this place, it was a Shakey's. Many, many years ago.

My mother and I came in for a late lunch. Despite the lateness of the hour, there were several people in the restaurant. We were hungry, so we tucked in to the chips and salsa.

My mother ordered the albóndigas soup. I liked all the vegetables in it. (I ate her carrots.) She also got a taco de carnitas. She ate it all.

I got a combo with taquitos, a cheese enchilada, and a chile relleno. I enjoyed it all. The beans were excellent. There has to be some love, aka lard, in there because beans
