Traditional Mexican flare with goodness on the plate! I recommend the Burrito El Cañon! It comes with rice, beans, lettuce, tomato and sour cream. Very well portioned and full of flavor! read more

The was awesome and the service was amazing definitely will be going back the restaurant was clean and everything was good

This place is better than what stat avg is giving. The service and atmosphere were great. Marg was good. Salsa was giving Tostitos unfortunately, wish it would have been more authentic. Fajita burrito and burrito with chorizo were solid! Huge portions for sure. Overall prob my second favorite mex place in grove city. read more

This place is very cost efficient and doesn't hurt your pockets while giving you a good quality meal, I can't say they have the best churros, but they are pretty good and come in a good amount and all their food comes out very well so I can't complain read more

Nice atmosphere and really liked it when they opened but recently, not so good. Every time I order something with chicken in it, it is so overdone and dried out that it's really not edible. Service is good and they are generous with the chips and salsa. read more

Sometimes you just want good food fast. This adorable Mexican restaurant is certainly that. Everything was ready exceptionally quickly and the waiters were prompt to answer any menu questions. We really enjoyed the guacamole side to the shrimp quesadilla and the epic chicken burrito read more

So my husband and I are fairly new to Grove City and wanted to try a new place for lunch before getting some shopping in. We found El Cannon on Yelp and decided to give it a try. We were honestly surprised about how good it was. (As of this review, I believe they had 3/5 stars.) Was the place packed, no. Was the service super friendly, also no. He got the job done and left us be for the most part. So neither good nor bad to be honest. That said, the food came out hot and was pretty tasty for the cost. Was it super authentic Mexican food, again no. But the portions were good and the cost was right so it's worth checking out for sure. I do recommend you try this place for yourselves but keep in mind it's not anything fancy, and to be honest that's probably why people like it. read more

This is our go to local Mexican spot. Is the food the most authentic Mexican food ever? No, but it's really good and incredibly priced. Where else can you get tamales and queso, chicken, and rice on the same menu? Their value meals are awesome too. Margs are amazing here too! Service is always super fast, we almost never can get through our chips in time. Always had an amazing pickup experience too. I really do not understand why the reviews are bad here. It is tiny, but I have never waited on a table more than 15 minutes there. read more

Stopped in here for a quick lunch. And it was not very busy which I liked because I knew our food would come out fairly quickly. I have been here previously & I have always gotten great service & the staff is all very nice. I went with the lunch fajitas which you have a choice between chicken or beef and you get a side of rice & beans, guacamole, sour cream, lettuce. All very yummy! I believe they charge 10.75 for the lunch fajitas which I think if fairly priced! The salsa is your average salsa, still very tasty & I love their chips only because they are cooked to perfection every time. The atmosphere is your typical Mexican restaurant but still very welcoming & clean. I will definitely be back. I know it can get pretty busy in there during dinner rush. read more

Overall I would not make this restaurant my top priority of places to revisit. I was looking for a new restaurant to visit since moving to the area. Upon arrival we were seated. After 10 minutes of sitting a waitress finally arrived to take our drink order. After this, we ate chips and salsa, after running out and the waitress not checking in another waitresses noticed we had no chips, salsa, or drinks and offered to refill. Our waitress finally came back to check in. Mind you there were only 2 other small families and it was not busy, it took over 30 minutes for the food to arrive and it was a different waitress bringing the food. Both mine and my husbands food was cold, so I can only assume the food was finished long ago and our waitress was no where to be found. She did check in, after we finished our food. Another 10 minutes passed and after waiting we asked someone at the front sweeping the floors for a box and the check since it seems our waitress left us. They went to the back to try and find her. Overall far from excellent service, and the food suffered. read more

I would give this 4.5 stars. It is not a very large establishment, but they have a small bar area and plenty of seating, and some outdoor area too. I usually order take out, which is fast, and they will customize for you if you ask. Everyone is usually very nice. I have eaten inside 3 or 4 times, and it is good. If you are drinking beer, they always come by to ask if you want another before your cup goes dry, which to me, is awesome! The food is great! They have a diverse selection of Mexican and Tex max food here. You will not go hungry! My favorite is the chorizo burrito, with chorizo and chicken, peppers and onions, with cheese sauce. It is massive, so be prepared! read more

Service is so slow and food is mediocre at best. Meat is always so dry. Both chicken & beef. Stick with Vaqueros or Fiesta Mariatchi. Waited 6 years to come try it again and it may have been worse than the last time we came and that was terrible. read more

So I've been wanting to try this place for a little while and we finally did. So the service was subpar unfortunately. The food was good but we ordered cheese dip that never arrived despite being charged for it. When the bill was brought I told the server that we never received it who then took it to the white guy at the front whom I'm assuming was the manager. The server came back stating that the guy said he brought it to us...why would I make up not receiving the cheapest thing on our bill?! Then my sister took the young ones to the car while I waited for the to go entree I ordered and she was questioned about leaving before I paid. I can assure you that neither one of us would not pay then leave but I'm sure that can be seen since I left a large tip despite the service. Not really pleased with the treatment so I'll be on the hunt for a new place. read more

My friend and I ate dinner here prior to our AR Workshop visit, which is within walking distance. I arrived first and was seated right away. The server asked me immediately what I wanted to drink, but I asked for a few minutes to decide. Another server brought me water and chips & salsa. The original guy came back for my margarita order. I asked for the 12 oz, rocks, and no salt. I got the larger serving with salt. Annoying, but I used a straw anyway so it didn't ruin my drink. When my friend arrived, she got the same, with salt. We honestly didn't realize we had the larger margs until our bills came and we were charged for the larger ones. I am assuming we received what we were charged for. We both ordered the Shrimp Chimichanga, which came with salad and guac on the side. It was smaller than I expected, but was delicious. I was happy with my meal, and I will return if I am in the area again. read more

Boyfriend and I met another couple for first visit. This is a very small restaurant and for a Sunday evening, there were only a few other customers. We started with chips and salsa. The salsa was homemade and very tasty however the chips were quite thick but ok. Didn't seem fresh. We ordered a side of queso dip which was ok. I ordered Popeye which is Chicken, Spinach, Onions, and Mushrooms with a sprinkle of cheese. It was good but no wow factor. I poured the cheese dip we had leftover and it made it better. The Mexican rice and beans (added a side which are not pictured) were really good. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive to our table. I would come back when in the area but may ask if they have some fresher chips. read more

I have now been to this restaurant many more times than I have check ins, and completely changed my mind about my prior average rating. First of all the service is better than ratings reflect in my opinion. They are not the chatty entertainer types, but they are attentive without being intrusive, very accommodating to late arrivals and substitution requests, always get orders right, never mind keep and return items left on their patio... On to the food: I've been on a seafood kick lately, and discovered some fantastic and super affordable seafood dishes here, as well as a "house hot sauce" not on the menu or typically served unless specifically requested. Both grilled tilapia dishes I've had recently were cooked and seasoned perfectly. Take a closer look at the menu and order outside the average americanized choices, I was super impressed, hope you will be too! read more

Excellent food and service. The nicest people ever. They have the best margarita frozen and on the rocks. Anything you order is good. My sister is a super picky about her burrito quality and she loves when I pick up dinner. Their guacamole is the best. Homemade authentic. read more

El Canon Grove City - Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Grove City, Ohio

Came for lunch. $13 for small plate with one chimichanga. Regular soft drink was $3.10! Flavorless salsa, and somewhat stale chips. Just your typical wholesale foodservice "authentic" Mexican place (first clue is a dish called "Speedy Gonzalez" on its lunch menu). The single small chimichanga was decent, but beans and rice were bland. Service was good, server was attentive. read more

The service here was very good!!! Leon did us right!!! We received lots of baskets of chips and urns of salsa! Prices are reasonable, and they accommodated our large group with ease!!!! Highly recommend!!! read more

Don't do it. What ever you do, do not eat here. The food is terrible and the price are even worse. I'm telling you don't do it. You will walk away and say to yourself, "Why did I not listen to Mark?" read more

Our food was fresh, decent prices too. The margaritas were tasty too! Our favorite dish was the veggie fajitas!!

When i read "authentic Mexican," I had such high hopes. They can cook pork to tender perfection, but the Verde sauce is horrible. The shrimp quesadilla has cheese that tastes like sawdust is added for texture. I must say their bartender can make killer margaritas, though. An Ohio 5, a California 2 read more

Small portions and poor customer service. We were never offered drink refills which is bad when they charge $3.10 for it. I won't be going back. read more

Great service and great food!! Have always had good food and it has a great variety. Excellent Margaritas!

We love this restaurant! The service is incredible. Every meal we have had is authentic and delicious. Margaritas are also very good! read more

Food was good, yet little expensive for one taco salad to cost $24. Other then that will try again soon. Hopefully the charge was a mistake. read more

Food was good... ordered a yummy shrimp plate. Pretty healthy. Got a spicy jalapeño skinny margarita that was tasty... great service.

Been here twice to eat. I still compare it to the mexican restaurant that we go to. I know I should do that, but I know that each restaurant is different. Not my first place to go to for mexican, but it'll work if you are in the neighborhood and want mexican! read more

YUCKY! One visit and I'll never waste my money here again. A. Chips and salsa were served.. Really shouldn't have eaten the chips after the first few. I was asking others at the table about them. We agreed they tasted like old used grease and were probably right out of a bag so no good at all. Salsa was definitely not salsa you'd want. A glass of tomato juice is much more enjoyable. B. They have Chili Rellenos in two places on the menu. They appear under ala carte and in one dinner dish description. I asked and explained that I wanted a relleno dinner and he said yes but I got an extra relleno work 'the special dinner'. Rellenos had an ok batter but stuffed with hamburg which was flavorless. C. Visual appeal.. No such thing. Nothing looked like an 'oh wow' dish. D. Refried beans...they were a mushy mess .... ENOUGH. I AM UNABLE TO SAY ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING POSITIVE. read more

Food is fantastic and service is great! Margs are on point. Wonderful little gem in the grove city area.

Stood at the hostess stand for 10 minutes three staff members walked by and looked at, as no one spoke, never seated. We walked out.

Tried out El Canon and have to say we're impressed. Being somewhat picky eaters, the entree's were simple and delicious. I had their steak tip burritos and the Hubby had your run of the mill tacos and he loved them. Their cheese dip is amazing as well as the beans and rice. Margaritas on point and they have fried ice cream to boot! read more

I am really glad to have tried this place despite the three-star rating. Honestly, the food is great. The chips are fresh and warm and the salsa has good flavor. I have tried the Pollo Ranchero and the build your own combo with chicken enchiladas and a beef tamale and I have yet to be disappointed. The margaritas are well-made and taste great. The prices are reasonable and I have never had bad service. read more

Great non-chain addition to Grove City! I stopped in here last night with my husband and friends and he was just what we needed. Great prices, drinks, food and service. Warm chips and fresh salsa immediately upon sitting down. I had a 32 ounce Michelob Ultra ($4.99!) and my friend had a strawberry margarita which she loved. Everyone at my table ordered something different. Food arrived quickly and was hot. My husband loved his chorizo burrito which was the size of something from a Man vs Food challenge. One of our friends had enchiladas, his wife had pork tacos and I had the chimichangas. Everything except for the pork tacos was awesome. Our friend said they were fatty and they came deconstructed which was odd. My meal and my husbands came to $35 for 2 dinners and 2 32oz beers. Not bad. We'll definitely come back again to explore the menu and try out their patio. read more

Convenient, decent food, and good service. I tried their fried tilapia. I've had this at several places. It was okay, but probably not something I would order again from this restaurant. Luckily, they have an extensive menu that I look forward to exploring. read more

El Canon Grove City - Fried tilapia - Mexican Near Me - Grove City, Ohio

This restaurant seems to have changed ownership or family running the place this year. The food was good and served quickly. The 4 chicken enchiladas verde $14 were good but lacked enough verde sauce. The menu items are a bit pricey. 4 soft tacos were $11. Special drink Pineapple Mojito in a 10 oz glass was $11 ! The previous time in August I got two chili relleno and they had shrunk to the size of large jalapenos. They used to be twice as large. Now you need to order 2 meals or fill up on the warm chips and the good salsa. read more
