    Great ambience. Sat in the back patio and it was very nice. The service was a bit slow but I guess because it was a Saturday night although it didn't seem (that) busy. Overall, great experience and will definitely go back.

    We are regulars here at tonight, and are always treated extremely well by the staff! Great service always super friendly and efficient. Host/server remembered us from the last time. I had a nice conversation and checked in on us frequently during our meal without pressure the patio is such a cool vibe. We love coming here it's our regular meeting spot to catch up two thumbs up definitely.

    Took a very special person to a birthday dinner at Chula Saturday night. We were given a nice table for two, off in the corner, away from the endurance and bathrooms. Our server, a fine young man named Trevor, helped make the evening lovely. He had a friendly yet subdued disposition and great sense of humour. Most importantly, he is great at his job! Made brilliant recommendations and checked us regularly to make sure all was well. You have to try the flight of margaritas, the queso dip and pork belly tacos...Thanks for great service Trevor.

    I would not recommend this place for those with a fish and seafood allergy. Sadly, they only have one deep fryer. So their fried tortilla chips and churros get fried in the same oil as the fish.

    The food was fantastic - fun margarita flight, ceviche trio and zucchini appetizers were delish - you MUST have the Mexican corn appie! We tried lots of tacos (it was Taco Tuesday!) and the short rib dish was yum. Overall very good and we will go back. Only one complaint - the noise level was THROUGH THE ROOF. We were seated upstairs and were at a small table for 4 and we could barely hear each other. We were seated near a very big, very loud group - the acoustics in the upstairs room were terrible. I would ask to be seated downstairs next time.

    Maybe a different waiter would change the experience. He did not tend to us very much. We had to ask him multiple times. And did not check in with us at all. He seemed preoccupied.

    Food prices are standard, but the food itself was okay. Wouldn’t come back again for it, especially because of the service. It was busy, but not enough for my friend to get her food after we all finished eating. Plus, waitress forgot to bring certain drinks after a long amount of time plus a reminder. She also confessed that she went out the night before and that’s why she was all over the place. Cmon, at least lie to us. Overall, service was all over the place. Manager was very sweet though.
