Wonderful authentic Mexican food! Everything tasted amazing! Not too spicy for me & there were myriad hot sauce choices for my husband!! I wish I had ordered queso for the chips but I think I would have eaten too many & not finished my food!!

The restaurant is very clean but the food and service were mediocre. Service was slow and when asked how much longer for the order to be ready, the waitress told us we could take it to go but never even answered the question and walked away.After a long wait, food came out and apparently the cook didn't know the difference between a pork chop and a T-bone steak. Meat was dry and flavorless. Rice looked and tasted like it was leftover from a previous day. Fries were fried in the same oil as fish apparently because they tasted fishy. Just overall not a good experience.

The food was pretty tasty here, service was quite slow and it seemed our server was new or didn't care to be doing it. Either way, I'd go back again, one of the better Mexican food places around!

The last 2 times we were there had to be the worst ever. 2 different wait staff that could barely speak English and got everything screwed up. What the heck is going? This is my favorite restaurant and I'm almost to the point that I don't even want to go there anymore.

A great restaurant. We just recently moved to the area and this was our 1st time there and we really enjoyed the food. Extensive menu at fair prices. They make awesome enchiladas.

We were welcomed right away and politely. During our dinner there was a spill at our table, no problem no trouble. Our service handled it quickly and professionally. All the food was delicious so it was difficult to pick a plate ( I don't always want to eat the same meal when I go) but please try the #87 plate (it's a new item). You will not be disappointed. Enjoyed fried ice cream for dessert, always a good decision.Kid-friendliness: The staff is very kind to children. The menu is child friendly. ?Wheelchair accessibility: I did notice there was a wheelchair ramp on site as well as accessible tables. During my visit we did not need to utilize these amenities.

Salsa had a bit of a kick.Chips were thick.They were the best part of the experience.Our food came out after a bit with our guac.Husband ordered something being told that it had chopped up fish. Didn't mentioned that it was raw fish. Husband returned it. The guac left a weird aftertaste. My California burrito was unlike any I've had before. My little salad on the side was a 1 in thick half of a tomato with shredded lettuce and a good helping of the weird guac. I ended up adding the salsa to it just to take literally two bites before I boxed it. (I struggle to just leave food behind). Also my husband ended up retrieving a box for me due to the inattentiveness of the server. After a while he did finally show up to give us the check with my husband's food removed. Maybe it was an off night.

Great local Mexican food. Prices are reasonable, portions are larger than expected. They do not seem to be related to the other El Canelo locations around here.Staff have been consistent for some time now. They are generally nice and helpful, have never had any issues with them.Food is excellent. I've tried a number of options here and been happy with everything I've eaten. I usually go for fajita style dishes, but have had good success with other plated dinner portions. Lunch specials are a good deal which offer a surprising amount of food. There is infinite chips and salsa which is a big plus for me.The location is well maintained inside. It underwent some renovations within a year of this review which helped clean up the place and update it in general. Seating is large, pretty isolated booths primarily. Good amount of seating for party purposes if desired.Vegetarian options: Significant vegetarian options. I'm not vegetarian but frequently get veggie options because they're so diverse and good here.Parking: Lot next to building. Reasonably maintained. Hard to get out of if you plan on making a left exit, it's a busy street.Kid-friendliness: It's not strictly a "kid restaurant" but offers enough food that a kid into Mexican food would be happy. Expect to bring leftovers home.
