    The Ceviche de Camaron amazing!   The mix molcajete !! Full of flavor in there house made sauce

    Amazing food!!! Flavor beyond words! The environment was top tier ! The service hands down!!!! The best! I felt right at home and the welcomed ! I'll definitely come back! Anyone in the area stop on by!

    Broken plate

    I never actually ate inside until today so we were excited to actually sit down and eat. Usually we get tacos from their truck outside which are always pretty good which explains why we don't mind the drive. I was pretty bummed that we came here for the birria tacos and the waiter said they only had goat (we don't eat goat). The food was not good. The best part was the oysters and the beer my husband ordered everything that wasn't cooked. I did like the horchata. Service could have been better they weren't even busy and it took forever to get them to come by or even bring the food. The price for the asada fries is ridiculous considering the serving size (go to Roberto's it's better and price is better too) ... for the price I would think the plates would at least be upgraded when broken.

    Aguachiles were so warm not good at all

    I almost feel bad for giving this place 2 stars but the food here was not good at all. I like to look for places off the strip when I visit Vegas and found this spot first on tiktok then on Google. The portions were so small I was shocked when I got my plate because all there pics I saw of their food show such large portions. But ok not a big deal if at least the food was the right temperature. I got the breakfast machaca and I'm guessing it was left over from the day before because it all just tasted microwaved and my husband got the aguachiles and they were so warm I almost felt like throwing up. I will say the service was ok the staff was really friendly that's why I gave 2 stars instead of 1 although we never got refills for anything lol. It could've been that I just came on a bad day but I definitely won't come a second time to test the theory.

    Ceviche de camaron

    Amazing food! This is not my first time visiting this establishment but it is my first time writing a review. Went to El Canelo after work to unwind. We were say immediately and our host Gustavo was very friendly and attentive. Our drinks came fast and the food that we ordered made fresh and hot. The place had Mariachi singers that went to each table to sing to patrons. I ordered the MolCajete and it was so divine. The tortilla that they serve is home made and they serve a lot of it, so no need to order another set and get charged extra like some other places that I have gone to. The place is clean and is buzzing with energy and of course, the voices of the Mariachi men who are serenading patrons. It was a good kind of loud. The service was fast and efficient. Come by and visit, they will not disappoint. Cheers!

    Over priced

    Food was cold and over priced the plate the ordered was $30 and it only had 10 shrimps, they never came to ask us if we were good or needed anything else and I had to wait 15 mins or more so they could bring us the bill.

    Tostada Mixta

    First time, walked in and the sign said to wait to be seated. Well a person even left because no one really acknowledged you. After a person walked in and told the waitress we were waiting she sat us. Her service was good she even gave suggestions since she realized we were new to the place. Food was not bad, both la torre and the tostada mixta were from the same mix of marisco which is fine. The agua fresca of cucumber was really good. Oh and my daughter loved the cheeseburger

    Mixto Molcajete

    The Mixto Molcajete is amazing! Beef, Chicken & different style shrimps with Nopales and grilled onions and queso fresco. The service was also good & attentive. When our family visits Vegas, it's a must!

    It's decent traditional Mexican food if you're in a pinch, but nothing to write home about or put on the grid. ‍

I had the mahi mahi tacos and they were too much for me, in part because they came with three sides, all delicious. My husband had the carne asada quesadilla and enough left over for lunch tomorrow. I tried the lime margarita, also excellent, and we couldn't leave without trying the churros for dessert. The ambience is lovely, with gorgeous decor, comfortable booths, and an excellent Hispanic music playlist. This is our new favorite Mexican restaurant. Big shoutout to our server, Brandy, who knew just when to replace the lemonade, and suggested the excellent street corn. We will be back very soon!

I really like the interior decor which is like a very contemporary and upscale Mexican. They have a variety of table and booth seating and a large bar. Our server, Hunter, was very friendly and attentive. He always ended every interaction with "have fun!" I tried the "el corazon" sangria which was delicious! It had a wonderful, warm flavor with a light hint of cinnamon yet it was still cold and refreshing! A cool tip - each drink comes with a little card with a symbol on it and the drink ingredients. Save this card! At each table is a game board of sorts that offers various prizes as you match the cards on the game board sort of like bingo. We really enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa, and we tried the traditional guacamole with vegetables as well. The guacamole was wonderfully cool and creamy and flavorful. For my entree, I tried the chicken fajitas which is served on a steaming platter with various accompaniments. This was also very delicious, and the chicken was quite flavorful and juicy. A small side note - it was served with a cous cous of sort, but I think I would've preferred a simple Spanish rice. The chicken portion size also seemed a bit smaller than when we get fajitas at Chili's. I would recommend you get double meat if you want to share. We decided to try the chocolate flan and the fried ice cream sundae for dessert. I preferred the flavor of the flan and the unique textures of the flan which had the jiggly caramel flan part on top of a more cake like chocolate part below. I honestly think the fried ice cream was not too good. It did not taste freshly fried, and the coating was very dry and brittle and hard to eat. I prefer the places that serve the fried ice cream warm with a very bubbly crust that is both crunchy outside and a bit soft inside. This was not that. Overall, though, we really enjoyed the dining experience here! We will probably return and try their weekday "Fajitas and Ritas" special! I recommend Hola!

This is a place that you need to make reservations and come nicely dressed. No flip flops, no shorts for men, no baseball caps.

Perfect for a romantic date, business dinner or celebrating something. Food is Mexican upscale an very exquisite. They have original drinks and each dish is beautifully decorated. We ordered a Matcha Martini (can't even describe how good it was). For food we had the Crispy Calamari and Chicken Enchiladas. Perfect for sharing, delicate and it is a explosion of flavors in your mouth. Service is so outstanding, Mariah and Jesus were our servers. You get assigned two servers even being a party of two. Since entering the restaurant we were treated like VIP and everyone said Happy Anniversary to us. They had even read our special instructions of dietary restrictions (gluten and dairy free). At the end of our dining experience the Chef sent us a Dairy Free, Gluten free and Vegan dessert on the house to celebrate oour special day. It was such the perfect touch to end our dining experience. It was our first time here, we will definitely come back and reserve for a later time since the only thing we missed were the performers because they show up later at night.
