Its been a while since I returned. I normally order corn beef and cabbage. Otherwise I have had there spicy chicken wings and also tostadas. There Uncle Lou's bean dip is good too
Best Mexican food in town! Friendly staff, feels like you have been friends for years. Definitely try the loaded potato soup during the Fall/Winter. Delicious! Never had a bad meal, always a great time.
Had an Irish coffee and it was mixed well. Tamales were good and some of the more authentic I've had in the area
This place is amazing. Wish i would have went sooner. All food was amazing. Biggest burrito of my life. I can't wait to go back and try something else. If you're hungry make sure you try this place.
It was absolutely amazing!!! I was a little iffy about a Mexican restaurant named Kelly's but the reviews were great, so we gave it a try. We ordered the sampler appetizer and the first bite into the nacho portion was absolutely delicious!!!! It didn't take long for our appetizers to come out after ordering. Then not even 5 minutes after we finished our appetizer here came our entrees. My hubby ordered the shredded chicken burrito and it was huge, he was automatically impressed by the size of it. I ordered the sirloin fajitas and when it came out I was like wow look at that steak. the meat was so tender and the taste was phenomenal!!! My hubby is in town working and it was his birthday so I drove up there to have dinner with him and this was the PERFECT place. I would absolutely drive nearly 2 hours to eat there again!!!
Always my food is done perfectly. Waiter or waitress has always been pleasant.
I love the food and atmosphere! Great Mexican food and Irish pub.
Kelly’s was such a pleasant surprise! I was craving Mexican but wasn’t too familiar with the Sterling area and its options. I went in with little expectation but everything about Kelly’s was fantastic. Cute Art Deco/vintage diner vibes with some of the friendliest (and attentive) service, followed by excellent food for a great price! This is a great spot that I will recommend to others and definitely will return to on my next visit through Sterling! FYI, we were a pretty large group and they were able to accommodate all 14 of us and everyone enjoyed their meals!
