    My brother and I first went to Chula simply because it was about halfway between our two houses, but we've been going back ever since. we keep saying we're going to check out other restaurants, but the food is so good and the staff are so lovely and oh my God the drinks are incredible. my brother was treating and it was close to my birthday so I had the flight of margaritas and they were head and shoulders above the usual.

    What a fantastic place to bring your loved ones to share a meal. It is becoming our favourite restaurant. Aside from the sumptuous meals they prepare, the service is outstanding. One has to go there to experience their hospitality.

    The service and food here were absolutely excellent. They were very accommodating and thorough in terms of allergies at the table. We were a bit disappointed to be seated in the middle of the restaurant given that we had a reservation. The tables on either side of us were quite loud, so it was difficult to hear one another. If possible, I would suggest requesting a booth.

    I recently visited Chula, and it was a wonderful experience! The restaurant has a beautiful ambiance with vibrant decor that really sets the mood for a great meal. The service was friendly and attentive. The flavors packed a punch, and every bite was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend the corn. The food was fresh, authentic, and clearly made with care. I would definitely recommend Chula for anyone looking for a cozy spot with tasty Mexican cuisine!

    This was an exceptionally wonderful experience considering the circumstances of a late reservation on my part. When I finally arrived an hour later (granted my guest had arrived on time), the staff was so generous in attending to me immediately. As well, we ended up leaving after 8 pm & were gracious enough to help charge my phone while we were dining! Appreciate the hospitality and loved the food/sevice & atmosphere! 5 stars 🌟!!!
