We are traveling through Sabetha on our way to Omaha and tried El Canelo. It did not disappoint!…read moreThe menu was huge, so many options and the service was fantastic. We had Pollo Chipotle, Chicken Nachos, Chicken Soup, Shrimp Quesadilla. We also tried the large queso, hot salsa and the salsa verde. The portions were huge and we were all stuffed and happy when we left! The restaurant was clean and bright. If you're thinking a restaurant attached to a gas station in the middle of nowhere Kansas is sketchy and not worth a try- you couldn't be more wrong! Highly recommend!r

But I still really enjoyed my meal especially since we were kind of in the middle of no where. So if you're driving by and want a decent Mexican meal, this place will do. Btw, the service was excellent.

Good music that's not too loud and nice ambiance, but the star here is the food. I ordered the Carnitas and a margarita. Both were delicious. My wife, who had been here before and will no longer go to our local Mexican restaurants, had the house burrito with Pork and a large Pacifico beer on tap (they also have Modelo and a couple typical light beers on tap, too). She raves about both. Will definitely return!!

They brought chips and salsa for the table, and each person gets their own individual salsa bowls, which is great. The menu is very large and very reasonably priced. Can't find those prices in Omaha!! My enchiladas verdes were meaty and saucy. I liked my rice and loved that they do real black beans instead of refried beans. They have a little bit of everything and do a very classic American Mexican menu. They were very fast and all our orders came correct. Portion sizes are reasonably sized as well

I ordered the taco fajita salad and my husband ordered the quesadillas del portal. They were both good, but the taco salad did not have very much lettuce, maybe half a cup. My husband enjoyed his meal, just wish he had more beans. The area was well lighted because we were sitting next to large windows. The food was ok, just very comparable to other restaurants at cheaper prices.

The salsa was very watery and lacked any real flavor beyond tomato juice. There were no discernible traces of onion, chiles, garlic, and only tiny faint pieces of something green...dried cilantro perhaps? The tortilla chips were a bit chewy and more than a few tasted of rancid oil. The cheese sauce we ordered to have with the chips was likewise very watery and lacking any flavor. Salty milk is a pretty accurate description. Our carne asada was dry and completely devoid of seasoning except salt. The only item with any spice, the chile relleno, had a very thick cakey batter that was soggy and unappetizing. The burrito sauce was strongly reminiscent of Best Choice brand tomato soup. The hosts and wait staff were helpful and knowledgeable, so I can't blame them at all. Everything else about this place is way below par. Arbor Manor was closed this week as was the BBQ place in town, so it was this place or Sonic. I kinda wish we chose the latter.
