The guy charged me 20bucks for a burrito. I tried communicating in both languages to them and felt like they didnt want to help me or make suggestions on a meal. It seems like a nice place and I wish it was a better experience

Good food and service

Beatriz Villalobos

With all due respect, the food was unsatisfactory and the prices were steep.

The food took a long while to make/come out. And, it also took a long while to get a receipt. There were only us and another couple at the restaurant so I am unsure of why the wait times were so long.

Overall, I was underwhelmed with the quality and quantity of the food. Also, the pricing was absurd.

Food was horrible and the waiter refused to give us a refund on it. They never checked on our table and took over an hour for our food. The next day the food made me sick!

I bought a snack from Sinaloa but it seems like it's hard for them to buy lids to cover the trays, they gave me aluminum, my daughter took it and ended up throwing everything on the seats, they're not so cheap that I wouldn't get angry, and at least I had to limit myself. throw 🥵🤬🤬 let's see what they're going to come up with

I found hair in the prepared oysters, and the woman said that happens to anyone. And it's a restaurant where I'm paying to eat and that's disgusting, and they don't have hygiene. And still grocers, and the restaurant without air conditioning very hot. I don't recommend it.

I highly recommend this restaurant. You shouldn't believe me. Go there for yourselves to test my judgement. Ask if the old chef is cooking - he makes the magic.

I was driving around looking for a place to eat with my wife. Being in Las Vegas as visitors had left us missing a little bit of home. We couldn't eat in a casino restaurant again - neon lights, loud music, people smoking ten feet away, someone trying to sell me a watch - couldn't do it again until we had a normal meal. We trekked around town in my truck until we got into a very Hispanic neighborhood. Like our home town of Tucson, AZ, that tends to mean good food. My wife pointed out the restaurant, El Canelo Restaurant. We pulled in and went inside. The owner, I believe, greeted us immediately. She was colorfully dressed to match her beautiful attitude and genuine smile. We chose the seats we wanted to sit in. They serve canned soda or Mexican imported bottled soda along with a selection of beer. After a time of our looking over the extensive choices in the menu, she took our orders.
My wife got a cacerola campirana while I ordered the molcejeta mixta. Chips and a delicious medium heat salsa were served. Not long after our food was served. If you have never experienced a molcejeta, let me tell you about it. Great big stone bowl on carved legs. It's been in a very hot oven till its super hot. Then they add thin sliced beef. Chicken strips. Fish filet. Shrimp in styles butterflied, peeled with shell on the tail, and bacon wrapped. All this goodness is in the bowl with a generous leaf of lettuce draped over the side, a grilling (and grilled) onion, and a halved jalapeño. It's all afloat in a generous amount of delicious broth and cream.
When the molcajeta arrives at your table, the heat from within the stone is boiling the broth and mixing all the flavors. I could not believe how good it tasted. I've eaten good Mexican food at fine restaurants before, but this was honestly great food. The service was awesome. The atmosphere was typical Mexican restaurant affair, except it all was clean and well placed - nothing crooked on the walls, dust was absent, not even a single fly. We leave town in two days and hope to return before doing so.
My wife really liked her food. Normally I would talk you though it, but I was busy head down working on that molcejeta.
(Did I mention the Queso Fresca in the broth?)
