I'm so upset this place is closed we have been going there since before my 16 year old son was born. I'm legit sad like I lost a family member. I was hoping it was just that they relocated. Does anyone know what happened or how I can make their salsa's. You will be missed Eva and Nela and entire crew.

Nela's Mexican Restaurant is a small, family owned and operated restaurant, located in the heart of downtown Roseville, that has been serving authentic Mexican cuisine for many years. It's a favorite of Roseville locals, "foodies" and everybody who appreciates delicious Mexican food, in an "old school" downtown diner. As you enter the restaurant, you'll be greeted by a friendly staff member, and seated. On this mid-Sunday morning, the restaurant was very lightly seated, so I was offered a seat at any table or booth that was open. Nela's takes COVID seriously, as the cashier's station is enclosed by a barrier of plastic, and the tables in the dining room are widely spaced. All staff were wearing masks, and guests were requested to mask-up unless actively eating. Unfortunately, Nela's is only open from 11:00 to 2:00 Tuesday through Saturday, and from 09:30 to 1:00 on Sunday, and closed entirely on Monday. I heard the shortened hours are because of the virus, along with staff shortages. The dining room at Nela's is quite large, clean, comfortable, and sparsely decorated. Booths line the walls and tables are in the middle of the room. The dining room is spacious, and the tables are spaced at a comfortable distance apart, perhaps to allow for "social distancing." I noticed that the dining room has been completely remodeled since my last visit... as it's been almost eight years since I last enjoyed a meal at Nela's. So many restaurants... so little time... As the menu was placed on my table, my host brought out a basked of fried tortilla chips, salsa cruda, along with a bottle of in-house made hot sauce. My entrees come with chips and salsa, but there are exceptions. Check the menu or ask your host when you place your order. The chips were standard corn tortilla chips, lightly salted, cold, and most likely made the day before. The salsa was fresh, "pico de gallo" which is diced tomato, onion, chili pepper and fresh cilantro. Like the chips, I suspect it was made yesterday, but both the chips and the salsa were very good, fresh, and made for excellent "munching" as I waited for my order to arrive. I tried some of the hot sauce on a chip, and I was rewarded with great taste, but LOTS OF HEAT! This sauce is delicious, but it's HOT... more than "jalapeno hot" so when you try it, caveat emptor... From the "Breakfast" section of the menu, I went with "Chorizo and Eggs," and an order of corn tortillas. Rice and beans were included with my order, and all "Breakfast" selections. The menu simply describes my breakfast as, "Eggs scrambled with Mexican sausage, dices onions, tomatoes and bell pepper." Chorizo and eggs is a Mexican breakfast staple, and Nela's prepared my breakfast in the tradition of northern Mexico, starting with two large, scrambled eggs. Chorizo was added to the eggs, along with diced bell pepper. The menu says tomatoes and onions are included in the scramble, but my breakfast didn't have any, but that wasn't a "deal breaker." The scrambled eggs and chorizo were perfectly fried, flavorful, seasoned perfectly, and made for a great entree. The rice was good, but quite forgettable, as it was simply rice, most likely cooked in chicken broth and finished on the griddle to give it a little pizzazz. My breakfast included three warm, moist corn tortillas - you have your choice of corn or flour tortillas - which made for great dipping in the salsa, and the refried beans. Quite possibly the refried beans were the highlight of the breakfast, as they were simply delicious, and reminded me of the countless times I've savored refried beans at small loncherias, during my many trips to Mexico. The beans were the perfect mixture between soft, whole beans and mashed beans, mildly spiced, and super flavorful. I suspect these refried beans were fried in lard, as they had the delicious taste that only real lard can give to beans... The beans were topped with melted, Mexican cheese for added goodness. A breakfast of "Chorizo and Eggs" is a great way to get your Sunday going! The dining isn't fancy, and the hours are limited, but the food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, and the staff is super friendly. When you're in the mood for delicious Mexican cuisine, think of Nela's Mexican Restaurant, located in downtown Roseville, CA. I was disappointed that menudo wasn't being served today, as it's listed on the menu for Saturdays and Sundays, and today I was in the mood for a bowl of menudo. The beans really made the breakfast! Nela's Mexican Restaurant is a good, solid choice for authentic Mexican cuisine in downtown Roseville.
