This is one of my daughters, absolute favorite restaurants in Frostburg. We have eaten here many times and love the food and love the service.After walking down the hallway, you will see the bar on the left. Further down is the main restaurant which is in two sections. Plenty of room and you don’t feel cramped.Standard Mexican fare. Upon sitting down, you are provided with chips and salsa. As we always do, we get the queso. Great to dip your chips in. For lunch, we had the taco salad (my daughter’s favorite) and the lunch portion of beef fajitas. The taco salad bowl is a deep-fried fajita, which is edible! I have been here many times, this was the first time I tried the flan. It was excellent.The service is always excellent here. Our waitress is very friendly and always checking in to make sure what we need.The prices are reasonable and less than most Mexican restaurant I go to. The best part is, I think the food is better.So if you’re in the area, stop on by and try out the food. You won’t regret it.Parking: Parking is along the street but I honestly in five years have never had an issue finding a spaceKid-friendliness: Plenty of kid options.Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room to maneuver a wheelchair in the restaurant, although the width of the wheelchair might be a little tight coming down the hallway, but I don’t believe so.
Disgusting. In our family of four, not one person could eat more than a couple of bites of their entree. I have never in my life had Mexican food this bad.

Awful tasteless food, terrible environment which was very hot, low light, and dirty. I’d recommend going absolutely anywhere else for Mexican. By far the worst I’ve ever

If you want real Mexican food without the added extra spice where you can taste the ingredients this is the place. Full plates with no added beans or rice as a filler. How can you tell it's a good place? The absolute freshness of the lettuce used.Vegetarian options: I didn't try any but they all look good on the menu.
I recalled eating at El Canelo over a decade ago and loving it. I returned for lunch today and couldn't have been more disappointed. The atmosphere is dirty, drab, and uninviting, but we still decided to give it a try - hoping for great good and drinks. I ordered a frozen pina colada, which was not frozen, although there was some blended ice in it. In terms of food, the enchilada sauce was terrible and all of the meat (beef fajitas, ground beef, and chicken) was questionable to say the least. We ended up leaving after a few bites. I was so disappointed in our experience.

Amazing food, service and prices. Both the Restaurant and Bar are fantastic. The bar is separated from the main restaurant by walls making it very family friendly.
