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!

Ceviche de camaron
Tina S.

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 .

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.

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. ‍

Seriously, you can't go wrong with anything you order. And don't let the long lines scare you! The service is super quick, so you're not waiting nearly as long as you might expect. I also got their grilled onions and peppers, and that little extra kick took everything to another level. If you're coming to Vegas and want a cheap, filling meal, this is definitely a spot to add to your list. And honestly, one vampiro taco and you will be STUFFED! The hype is real. Definitely worth the stop!

It seemed a little confusing at first, but they clearly have it worked out to a science and everything moves pretty quickly. The homemade corn tortillas were probably one of my favorite parts. The steak and pork tacos were both excellent and definitely my favorites. The chorizo was okay, but I'd probably skip it next time and get another steak or pork instead. Overall, the tacos were delicious and we were really pleased with the experience. It's a fun place and a little different from your typical taco shop. I would definitely go back the next time I'm in Vegas.

The quesadilla featured a flour tortilla stuffed with melted Monterey Jack cheese and tender chicken breast. It arrived on a sizzling plate, accompanied by pico de gallo, sour cream, and guacamole. The combination was flavorful, satisfying, and perfect for sharing. By the time we finished, our bellies were full and happy! I'm looking forward to returning and trying one of their World Famous Nachos. The Fiesta Nacho, Fajita Nacho, Nacho Average Burger Nacho, and Filet Mignon Nacho all sound tempting. With so many options, it'll be hard to choose just one!

After my spectacular first meal at Toca Madera, I had to schedule a return, which I did Friday…read moreevening. This time my daughter and niece joined me. I was excited to dine in the main dining room rather than at my bar-area table from Wednesday. Travis, our server, was fantastic, just like Mariah on my first visit. I will say, it seemed even louder in the main dining room. The electronic dance music soundtrack makes you feel like you're dining in a hot dance club. Definitely not the place for a quiet dinner, but it's all part of the Toca Madera experience. We started with the Watermelon and Passion Fruit Margaritas. Both superb. For a starter, we ordered the Queso Fundido. It arrived at the table like molten lava, so we had to give it a few minutes before diving in. Once we did, it was incredible. For our entrees and sides, we had the Petite Filet and Seared Scallops. Both were awesome. We also ordered the Street Corn, which I had loved so much on Wednesday, and the Whipped Potatoes. The potatoes, with a little jalapeño oil and lime salt, were insanely good. During dinner, Travis treated our table to Toca Madera's fire shots. They arrive in tall shot glasses topped with a seasoned lime slice and sugar cube, which is then lit on fire tableside. It's quite the presentation and fits this restaurant perfectly. Apparently we made a good impression on management, because dessert turned into an event of its own. We were treated to a huge platter featuring the Brownie Celebration along with the Strawberry Tres Leches and Brown Butter Cake. It was quite a finish to the meal. As great as my Wednesday dinner was, Friday night was even better. And this time we had a ringside seat for Toca Madera's female fire performer, who came out at 7:30 and again at 8:30. Watching her perform just a few feet from our table was amazing and really capped off the evening. Two visits in three days. That probably tells you everything you need to know about how much I enjoyed Toca Madera.
