.

this is our «go to» spot the morning after a late night drinking and gambling at fantasy springs!
burgers are as fresh as it gets, friendly and quick service! we always get the burger and fries, but we will try the burritos next!

This place it’s OK to order to go the food is ok nuthing special the times I been here the people working here seem very disconnected with the customer I dnt know if it’s just me or they do that with everyone but I haven’t gone back I get better service in other places

No place like Chelos! The Burgers are cooked like they came off a BBQ grill. They have by far the best Fries for a Burger joint, it is a Sunday tradition!

The best shrimp cocktail EVER!

Great little place. Big open atmosphere. Family owned feel. Large burgers with non franchise taste. Big serving of fries. Great value. They also have a wide variety of drinks including horchata. Freakin bomb

I work nearby, and I really like eating at Chelos, which is located within an Am/​Pm gas station/​truck stop in the middle of nowhere. I like their hamburgers, breakfast burritos, carne asada burritos… pretty much everything they make. One notable point about this place, which I cannot say about very many restaurants, is they cook perfect over easy eggs which when they are served with hash browns and toast look like they came from the pages of a food magazine. Lol… had to throw that in for good measure. They serve a lot of lunches every day and usually have a short line of customers… local agriculture workers, truckers, law enforcement, utility workers, etc… waiting to order. But, the line goes fast as do the orders. It pretty cool that you can watch the cooks prepare all the food. This is a testament to a good place to get a good quick meal. They have lots of tables, and the girls who work there manage to hustle and keep them clean and ready to sit at. There is also staff who mop throughout the day and clean the windows daily. I really like clean restaurants and think it needs to be mentioned whether a place is clean or not.

Just thinking of this place makes me hungry! While not exactly pretty, their burgers are amazing and I have yet to find a worthy contender for their seasoned fries. The only reason I give give this place 4 stars is because I have yet to expand my horizons and order something other than burgers and burritos haha. Also, great staff!

It’s a travel stop, in a food court, in the middle of an Agriculture Mecca. It’s a go to stop for the Machaca Burrito, would be hot for some, ask for an extra salsa which is GREAT! If you tip at time of order the Very Friendly Staff will take Very good care of you. If you’re a smuck, you get what you pay for, remember, it’s a food court.
This five star is for the best spot in the «area», for the Machaca, for lunch or breakfast on the road, I’m not taking a date here, but good food on the road.

I have stopped here with my family several times on the way to Mexicali and have to say the food is good. The carne asada burritos and tacos are excellent and hit the spot on the trip. The lady behind the counter is always friendly and prompt.

Great spot to gas up and grab a tasty breakfast burrito to go. Not bad for $ 5.55. Pleasant service with a smile

The owners are really friendly and the food is really good. Try their huevos rancheros!

I had ham steak and eggs it was fantastic. A great value, good food, and a great place to go when you’re in the Mecca area

Not bad. I had the carne asada burrito which was very good. It was a little greasy but not too greasy. Service a little slow but not too bad. Most defiantly would eat here instead of the filthy Del Taco next door.

I dont have any issues with the food. Its always ok for fast food but I do have other problems ! Twice now (never again) at this travel plaza I have been overcharged when using a debit. The first time was int he gas station part I was overcharged 50 dollars. The employee gave me a void but did not do a credit. It took me 3 weeks to get a refund. On the 15^th I went to Chelos and I was in a hurry and used my debit again. I knew i was in trouble as soon as she told me she put a charge in for an overage of 14.00. Ok its not much money to some, but I am having a struggle right now. To make matters worse after 4 phone calls they say they cant help they dont know what else to do! So they ran it again as a charge and not a credit. SO now I am out 28 bucks. They told me to let my bank handle it but to dipute it would cost more so I am out the money. I am very disappointed in myself that I let it happen twice. WIll never go t here again… be careful using your card here. Very bad customer serviceon this issue.

This restaurant is located in what you may call a «food court» that includes this location, Subway, a yogurt store and a check cashing branch.
Although it is labeled as a Mexican food spot (which it is), they also have a very wide variety of choices. Things like Club Sandwiches, Onion Rings, Burgers, Carnea Asada Burrito, etc. Also, an all day breakfast menu that didn’t look half bad… A guy next to me had steak and eggs for lunch and it looked rather tasty!
The only photo for this location was taken by me, of what I got. The ever illusive double cheese burger and fries with a coke. The burger «with everything» has lettuce, tomato, chopped onions and thousand island dressing. The burger was VERY GOOD, but very very greasy… But hey, if that’s what your into! Big portions too! I’m a big cat and couldn’t finish my whole meal.
Now, why you may ask, did I only rate it a three?
Service: Very slow, waiting at the register as the people talked in the back right in front of me for about 3 minutes.
Price: I paid $ 9 for the entire meal. Now yes that’s not all that bad, but there is a Del Taco about 30 yards away that I could get the same meal for 6 $.
CLEANLINESS!!!: The table I was eating on was not cleaned (none were) and there was more than once occasion where a fly either landed on my table, head, or FOOD!
Overall, the rating of A-​OK is the best I can do…
