| - Day 1 of our Arizona adventure. After 5 1/2 hour drive and settling in at our hotel it was time for dinner. So my wife looked on Yelp and found Chelsea's Kitchen. Since I was tried of driving, it was nice that Chelsea's was so close to our hotel. 3.8 miles to be exact.
We arrived a little after 7. Chelsea's was busy, but we were able to get seated right away. We wanted to sit outside, but the back patio didn't have misters and I wasn't too thrilled about sweating in my food. lol Our server, Stephanie, promptly greeted us and took our drink order. Since I was thirsty after a long drive, I ordered a Manhattan. My wife ordered a Martini and kiddo ordered pineapple juice.
The menu is short and simple. For starters, I ordered the Deviled Eggs. You have the option of ordering them with bacon. The menu says, "don't resist" in reference to bacon on the deviled eggs. Needless to say, I gave in after no arm twisting and ordered bacon with my deviled eggs. The eggs were so flavorful and rich. I believe the were dusted with Paprika which added to their smokey flavor. My daughter ordered the Guacamole and Chips. Yes, very pedestrian, but the best part was the charred tomatillo salsa that accompanied the chips. It had a nice smokey flavor. My wife ordered the Shrimp Ceviche. She said it was just ok. It has more tomato in it than shrimp.
For my main, I ordered the LGO Reserve Short Rib Tacos. This is a dish that Chelsea's is known for. The tacos fixings and the tortillas come separately. You get the short ribs, which I think were cooked in the roasted tomatillo salsa, guacamole, pico de Gallo, and kale slaw. When you combine all those things with homemade tortillas, you get a very beautiful and flavorful taco. To be honest, I think I ate 9 of them. Not kidding. The tortillas are the small street taco size. My wife and daughter shred the Chelsea's Cheeseburger. They said it was good. The fries had a sweetness to them and they weren't sweet potato fries.
The decor of Chelsea's is warm and welcoming. It reminds me a lot of Houston's. The clientele was a good mix of people. Young and old. To be honest, I felt like I was eating at a restaurant in the O.C. lol There is valet parking that is complimentary or you can self park. The parking lot isn't that big so I can only imagine how crazy it gets on w Friday night or on a weekend. No issues with service or staff. The bartender makes Avery smooth Manhattan.
