Family run Tex-Mex goodness. Large menu full of satisfying Tex Mex favorites. You can never go wrong with sizzling hot plates of fajitas or my personal favorite, chile rellenos. Pair it with draft Mexican beers, margarita, or Mexican sodas. Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Glad to have this local favorite for when those spicy cravings hit.

Listen, I'm a suckered for good Ameri-Mexican food. El Canelos East side never disappoints. The wait staff is always friendly and quick, the food hotel and fresh. Love it here and their amazing bizarre artwork. Some of which is now on sale for $30 a pop. If ya know ya know

Got takeout last night, my first experience with the restaurant. The shrimp quesadilla was amazing!! Will definitely be back. My partner got enchiladas and enjoyed them as well. Had a great tamale too!
