El-Canelo Mexican Restaurant

I love el canelo, however at this location the food isn't as good as the other location I go to. I wont go to this location again.

My family frequents this restaurant. As someone who grew up in Texas, I have had trouble finding a place that had decent Mexican food nearby. This place is it and not badly priced either. I recommend the birria tacos, taco salad, or quesadilla! If you have a picky eater, mine says the Dino nuggets are top-notch!

Fast service. Great food!

The salsa is fabulous as is the food and service!
I ordered off-menu Carnita Street Tacos with rice and beans and the flavor was superb!

Incredibly delicious food extremely nice and talkative staff always laughter and happiness when eating here very clean as well. Just love this place.

Nice family restaurant.Can't wait to go back services amazing

Super fajita quesodilla no longer comes with quest in it. It is now boring and bland tasting. You have to pay extra for quest. So disappointing. It was the only thing I really liked. Will be going to Los amigos from now on.

I was in New Castle, PA & craving Mexican when I came across this place. I definitely was a cozy little restaurant, I came just before the dinner rush. I was greeted pleasantly by the host how seated me quickly. My seating options were booth or table, I prefer a table. My server then came over to get my drink order, he returned quickly with it. The menu had a good selection of Mexican comfort foods. When my server returned, he brought out the awesome chips & salsa, then took my dinner order. I went with the jumbo burrito, it basically had everything in it.
My meal was out quickly, hot, fresh & extremely tasty. I really enjoyed my meal here, the atmosphere was very relaxed & my meal exceeded expectations. I strongly recommend you give this place a try.

I am only posting this in hopes the people who own it, see it, and intervene. I ordered steak and chicken fajita and the whole top of it was black, (pictured after I mixed it around) I can't believe they legitimately serve this to us. I wasn't going to post anything, but the tamale with no filling was the last straw.... the corn tortillas tasted like they had been out for a long time and congealed together into one large tortilla tasted like wet dog. Pollo Asado was a brick condensed cheese and rice because the cheese was not mixed properly. It used to be really good. Will try again in six months if it gets any better will delete.
