"Chelis is simply "outstanding." The dishes exceed expectations, offering unique flavors that you won't find in typical TexMex restaurants. The chef is creative and unafraid to challenge your taste buds, fueled by a passion for delighting her guests. Friends and newcomers flock here at least three times a week because they can't get enough of the surprising daily specials and the variety of choices available on the menu. It’s truly brilliant. If you’re fortunate enough to be there on the day she prepares pork ribs with her signature green salsa, don't hesitate to order corn tortillas to go with it. And definitely make sure to try her freshly made drinks—they are a reason in themselves to dine here. This is high-quality cuisine that you don’t want to miss."

Outstanding Mexican cuisine! This was as authentic as it gets in Texas—definitely not the Tex-Mex I'm used to, and I truly loved it. The restaurant was spotless, and the service was excellent. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 View menu

"Being able to reccomend their sides desserts should tell you everything you need to know of our experience there. The pinto beans and the buttermilk pie were excellent, everything else was anywhere from poor to middlin' at best. Perhaps they just were having a bad day minding the pit?Orders were for a beef rib and 3 pork spareribs with potato salad and pinto bean sides, and the sliced brisket with mac cheese and pinto beans, as well as a slice of buttermilk pie to share.The beef rib was chewy and stringy but did have decently smoked flavor, the pork ribs were roughly the same, neither fell off the bone nor had a decent clean bite when eating. The sliced brisket (ordered marbled) was the best of the proteins, but even at that seemed average as far a juiciness and flavor. Overall the proteins in our opinion ranked 1.5/5 starsThe mac cheese apparently is made with American cheese powder to judge by the color of the sauce, and it appears the potato salad is bulk deli purchased. The pinto beans were wonderful and the butermilk pie was very tasty. On balance they earned 3.5/5 stars.Portions were fair and prices were decent as value for the money goes, but overall we felt for the total cost of just over $64 for lunch for 2 that we would have eaten better had we just gone to a chain retaurant such as Dickey's or Famous Dave's. Value-wise maybe 1/5 starsService was quick and friendly (5/5 stars) and we enjoyed the atmosphere overall(4/5 stars) so we will probably give them another try someday, in hopes that the meal quality being off on this visit was an outlier."
