We visited this establishment on Sunday 9/22/24 for brunch (party of 8). We have come here before and I decided to write a review this time around. Service has definitely improved since my last visit, the waitress was kind and prompt, we got our food within minutes. If you’re looking for your typical homemade, authentic Mexican food, this is as good as it gets. I haven’t found other restaurants in the area that come close to that homemade taste of our traditional foods, that’s why we’ve been coming back to Canelitas! Their aguas frescas are made from scratch, they were very tasty! We typically come here for their gorditas but have been trying other items and everything has been delicious!

I go to this restaurant twice a week, sometimes 3 times, the Molcajete, mojarra chiltepin ( fish fried ), chiles rellenos, enchiladas michoacanas, pozole and quesa-birria are a must try, you will not be disappointed.

Food is tasty but expensive for the portions that you get. The chips you get are pretty good but it’s missing a good salsa in a bowl like you get in most restaurants. Bug plus for clean bathrooms

Food was very good. I had the burrito. The steak had flavoring all around good experience. You can tell they’ve put a lot of work in the cleaning that place up and providing a service of food to people! Great job guys.

The staff are nice and accommodating and the food is great. The prices are reasonable. This is definitely a great option for a weeknight dinner after commuting. Just remember: they make the orders once you order, so allow a few extra minutes to prepare the food. It’s worth it.

This place is just okay. It needs major upgrades in a lot of areas.
Stopped in for the first time today and tried their pozole. It was okay. They only have red, and it only comes with pork. Disappointing they don’t have options to choose, like a green or meatless version of the pozole. Just pork. Found a few bones in the broth from the meat, too. Not great.
If you’re dining in, you seat yourself and a waiter comes and serves you chips and salsa. Though I was very confused by the salsa containers. They come in ketchup and mustard containers. Once you order, that was pretty much it, I didn’t hear from the waiter again. Did see him on his phone though but that’s to be expected if you have a teenager ringing people up and waiting on them. Sad they didn’t check on me again, I would have ordered something else.
The vibes were bland. The outside is not inviting, the inside is bare, too. Just a couple of plants, a tv, and maybe some wall decor I can’t even remember.
They have a parking lot, restrooms, and they accept card and have an atm in house.
Sadly, would not recommend this place yet. I’ll probably make a few trips later to see if anything has changed.
Thanks!

Dirty, shady… has the appearance of cleanliness until you look up and start counting the roaches and other bugs clearly visible in EVERY overhead light fixture. I picked up my food and threw it in the garbage. Sign has no opening time and no days listed so you don’t know which day they are actually closed. SO STUPID! No receipt for my purchase is shady. I have more photos but you get the idea.

I am very unhappy I have to change my review, I had given them 4 stars but after the completely RUDE treatment my girlfriend I received this Saturday at 730 pm being told they were closed when their closing time is clearly posted 8pm. I truly do not feel that they deserve my business anymore,the first time I’ve seen this woman working here and in 2 seconds has caused a customer to quit coming to your restaurant .
