Chez Shea - Half Moon Bay

We had the crabcake sandwich and Huevos rancheros. Fresh and rich with taste!

Molé at Chez Shea in Half Moon Bay! Thanks everyone for a delicious dinner and excellent service! I have eaten LOTS of molé. This plate goodness is well balanced and satisfying. So much so I was scraping the plate for every bit of sauce. Next time I will ask for a extra tortilla to mop up the plate! A glass of zinfandel suited the flavors. At same time enhancing the spice molé giving it a little more kick. Order some if you have the molé. Sat at the window bar to watch the world go by. And come in too. Enjoyed the Lavender Crème Brûlée. Tasty lavender flavor plainly apparent, but not overpowering. Nice to see Chez Shea is a dog friendly place. After watching a few go to the patio I walked back to check out the area. Cute tables and a few dog dishes as well. The four-footed family members will feel at home during the meal. Bar setting where I enjoyed my meal was clean and neat. Bathrooms are kept up well. You can send you kids in without worry. The staff was full of smiles. The other patrons were full of life and happy chatting. All of this makes Chez Shea an upbeat and tasty place to entertain you mouth and your mind. I recommend this place and will be back. #Molé #ChezShea #HalfMoonBay #HMB #DELICIOUS #SATISFYING #Zinfandel #Wine #PureWater

Enchilada with homemade mole that I had was excellent. I usually have the Cesar salad which I love but I was feeling adventurous. My 99 year old Grandmother is found of the beet salad and she has gotten it for a few years now every time we eat there.

Although the sign says eclectic , and indeed some dishes are slightly less conventional, this is much more good, solid mom pop cuisine for slightly more daring families. If you expect avant-garde fusion, this is not your place. Nouvelle cuisine this ain 't, but rather a very good, place for interesting food with a Mexican heritage. Everything we had tasted very good, was well executed and tasted freshly made. Even the chips and salsa, with the salsa nice and hot, not just out of a can. Definitely a place we 'll visit again. Before you get upset because they 're not serving you, please note the Order Here sign, you order at the counter, not the table.

Would have been a five star rating of we hadn't had to wait 30 minutes and then ask for our check, wait another 10 for them to pick it up, and another 10 to bring out back. Great soups, esp. the black bean soup (sounds bland, but is more like a burrito in a bowl. I had the bobotie, which was good, and the corn chowder was excellent. My vegetarian friends were also very satisfied with their options. Creme brulet was a perfect finish.
