Description:

	Nina's favorite mexican restaurant.  While Celia's subscribes
	to the traditional Californian 'If its not bigger than your
	head, we won't serve it to you' sensibility, they also
	comprehend splitting dishes, which some of us think is
	utterly cool.  They have a host of dishes with interesting
	sauces outside the traditional perversion of mexican,
	'burritos, enchiladas, and tacos, oh my!' including a chicken
	in cream sauce which is just to die for, unless you hate
	green pepper.

	I have never tried to be vegetarian at Celia's.  Otherwise,
	the prices are reasonable for the south bay (~$10/entree),
	and the staff are accommodating.  Yummy chips and other
	condiments. While the burritos would not measure up to
	MarkE's standards ('If I can get my hand around it, it's too
	small'), they make up in flavor what they do not have in jaw
	splitting size.

	Kabuki was last at Celia's on January 26th.

Directions:

    Short:
	Celia's is on El Camino between Arastradero and Page Mill.

    Public Transit:
	Celia's is on the 22-El Camino line.  One of the few places
	in the south bay you can actually reach by transit!

    Long:
	Take your route of choice to 101 & San Antonio.  Take San
	Antonio West (er, south) to Charleston, the first light.
	Turn right and stay on Charleston until you hit El Camino.
	Turn right, and proceed past your third light.  Make a U-Turn
	and park in the lot next to the restaurant.

	Alternately, take 280 to Page Mill/Arastradero.  Head East on
	Page Mill to El Camino, then turn right.  Proceed south until
	you pass the restaurant on your right, then park.
