While at PV with family, I wanted to try authentic Mexican food. So on our excursions into and out of PV from our resort, we asked cab drivers where they would dine out with their family for local food. 3 out of 4 recommended Cenaduria Celia. Our family dined at CC the last night of our stay. Our regret was... More

We have been going to PV for 10 years and had heard about this place but never visited it. BIG MISTAKE !!! We should have been going for years. This is a small place and is frequented by many of the locals. Totally Mexican food menu, but it is so good and everything on the menu is less than $8.00... More

Found this by accident looking for El Colera at 542. Small family restaurant with a limited menu (good). Had the chicken and white meat chicken diners (85 pesos each) A lot of food. Could have gotten by with one chicken with extra order of the beans as they were excellent. Only serves beer, some pop and special house prepared drinks.... More

Went again and had the pozole they are famous for. Love their agua de jamaica. Had flan for dessert again and it was great. Ordered the buneulos to go again, hard to eat only one. If you want good authentic Mexican food for a good price where the locals go then this is the place. They are not open Monday... More

Celia's has been a big favourite of ours over the past few years. It was "here we go again" time this past May, when we revisited and dined twice during our stay. Everything - food, service, and prices - were as good as ever!! What we had, and so-enjoyed: beer (15p) and agua fresca (10p), w/nacho chips and salsas, entrees... More

Our friends took us here as this was their favourite place for pozole (a local recommended it to them). It opened at 6 and gets very busy later. My mexican husband was thrilled to have pozole with all the parts in it, I stuck to the chicken. Best pozole I have had in a restaurant. Delicious. Our friends also ordered... More

Our wonderful driver Gustavo is a member of the family that has run this restaurant for almost 30 years. It is right next to the much more upscale Naranjo -- off the beaten path but not impossible to find. If you think Mexican food is what they serve at Chipotle, you MUST go to this place to taste the real... More

We discovered Cendauria Celia (otherwise known as Paolo's) from another restauranteur. My husband wanted real pozole and this is the place for it! We went during dinner and the restaurant was packed (when all the other restaurants in town were empty due to lack of tourists). The pozole can be had with chicken, pork, shredded meat and/or other parts and... More

A dining highlight of our stay last fall, an even bigger favourite of ours during a recent stay (April-May '10) - we dined there three times. The bottom line: well-prepared, tasty food, very generous portions, inexpensively-priced, with friendly, and very accommodating service. Cenaduria Celia is definitely our kind of place!!! We had: pig's feet - several, good-sized 'knuckles' served on... More
