    Burritos Guisos de el Canelo food truck is delicious. Never a disappointment. Flavor of their ranchero burritos reminds me of my childhood. My favorite little spot.

    The Ceviche de Camaron amazing!   The mix molcajete !! Full of flavor in there house made sauce

    Amazing food!!! Flavor beyond words! The environment was top tier ! The service hands down!!!! The best! I felt right at home and the welcomed ! I'll definitely come back! Anyone in the area stop on by!

    Broken plate

    I never actually ate inside until today so we were excited to actually sit down and eat. Usually we get tacos from their truck outside which are always pretty good which explains why we don't mind the drive. I was pretty bummed that we came here for the birria tacos and the waiter said they only had goat (we don't eat goat). The food was not good. The best part was the oysters and the beer my husband ordered everything that wasn't cooked. I did like the horchata. Service could have been better they weren't even busy and it took forever to get them to come by or even bring the food. The price for the asada fries is ridiculous considering the serving size (go to Roberto's it's better and price is better too) ... for the price I would think the plates would at least be upgraded when broken.

    Aguachiles were so warm not good at all

    I almost feel bad for giving this place 2 stars but the food here was not good at all. I like to look for places off the strip when I visit Vegas and found this spot first on tiktok then on Google. The portions were so small I was shocked when I got my plate because all there pics I saw of their food show such large portions. But ok not a big deal if at least the food was the right temperature. I got the breakfast machaca and I'm guessing it was left over from the day before because it all just tasted microwaved and my husband got the aguachiles and they were so warm I almost felt like throwing up. I will say the service was ok the staff was really friendly that's why I gave 2 stars instead of 1 although we never got refills for anything lol. It could've been that I just came on a bad day but I definitely won't come a second time to test the theory.

    Ceviche de camaron

    First time trying this place out will come back for sure the food was really good and the customer service was the best from the greeter to the waitress A1!! Tried ceviche de camaron it was so good the flavor was on point also had empanadas de camaron they were also great they had great music playing with tv screens all over playing music videos as well good for a chill night out not too much just perfect to get some drinks and relax .

    Amazing food! This is not my first time visiting this establishment but it is my first time writing a review. Went to El Canelo after work to unwind. We were say immediately and our host Gustavo was very friendly and attentive. Our drinks came fast and the food that we ordered made fresh and hot. The place had Mariachi singers that went to each table to sing to patrons. I ordered the MolCajete and it was so divine. The tortilla that they serve is home made and they serve a lot of it, so no need to order another set and get charged extra like some other places that I have gone to. The place is clean and is buzzing with energy and of course, the voices of the Mariachi men who are serenading patrons. It was a good kind of loud. The service was fast and efficient. Come by and visit, they will not disappoint. Cheers!

    Over priced

    Food was cold and over priced the plate the ordered was $30 and it only had 10 shrimps, they never came to ask us if we were good or needed anything else and I had to wait 15 mins or more so they could bring us the bill.

    Tostada Mixta

    First time, walked in and the sign said to wait to be seated. Well a person even left because no one really acknowledged you. After a person walked in and told the waitress we were waiting she sat us. Her service was good she even gave suggestions since she realized we were new to the place. Food was not bad, both la torre and the tostada mixta were from the same mix of marisco which is fine. The agua fresca of cucumber was really good. Oh and my daughter loved the cheeseburger

    Mixto Molcajete

    The Mixto Molcajete is amazing! Beef, Chicken & different style shrimps with Nopales and grilled onions and queso fresco. The service was also good & attentive. When our family visits Vegas, it's a must!

    It's decent traditional Mexican food if you're in a pinch, but nothing to write home about or put on the grid. ‍

They've also added a new addition to the restaurant since my last visit; a beautiful bar area that looks amazing! The bartender, Yaz, was absolutely wonderful.

It was packed with crispy white fish and shrimp, and everything tasted incredibly fresh and delicious. The combination of flavors was so good, and of course, their salsa is the bomb! Definitely worth a visit if you're craving something different, filling, and packed with flavor. And if you haven't been since they added the bar, it's worth checking out!
