    Got to check out La Canoa out with my coworker. Have to say the food quality was great. I really like it’s and everything seemed very fresh! The ambiance was great I like how everything looked. The service wasn’t that great. I would say anyone that wants great food should give La Canoa a try!

    Service was awesome, food delicious. For the exception that the security guard didn't change the channel in one of the screens, they were watching a game. We had fun and enjoy the food and service.

    Terrific place! The food was fabulous and plentiful, prices very reasonable, drinks were strong and tasty, and the hand painted murals, furniture and decor were beyond charming. We'll definitely be back.

    I love this place, lots of food and drinks options. Their food portions are huge. Also recently found out that there is an event floor in the back + on Fridays and Saturdays nights they have dance floor as well. I will definitely recommend to try this place.

    The way I see this place it's definitely a good quality Mexican food restaurant. It gets really noisy on weekends and would not recommend Fridays and Saturdays but everything after it's been a really good experience, Nancy has taken care of me a few times and everything has been great.

    I decided to come here for my birthday for the first time and it was amazing! Waitress did forget about us at the beginning, menu is a bit overwhelming so we took our time to order but that was fine. I ordered the plate of crab legs in their house sauce and the waitress had trouble putting it on the table because it was so much crab legs. SO got the red snapper, we shared our dishes and still had so much food left over. The prices are definitely worth it opposed to some seafood places. Margarita pitcher was okay, a bit too sweet couldn’t really taste alcohol, next time I’d probably get a michelada. Overall I recommend coming here.

    This restaurant had a lot going on, it was a very authentic Mexican restaurant that me and my family loved! The chairs and walls were very nicely painted and intriguing, my cup was handmade with clay and the chilaquiles con carne was very delicious. The chips were crispy and hot, my food tasted fresh and well, and they give you pretty big portions, definitely coming back to this place!!

    Very nice restaurant, clean well kept with an interesting nautical theme.... Yummy and delicious food appetizers and entrees!

  • 2/5 Răzvan L. 2 years ago on Google
    First, nice place as you walk in. Than we got the chips with the salsa. Waiter nice but food was cold and salad hot. Guacamole looked like it’s been sitting out for two days and the rice tasted like vinegar. Horrible! Never coming again.

    Disgusting food. Ordered a filet mignon and it was NOT filet mignon, it was burnt, sent back, 2nd one was still raw and purple inside. Gross. Not sure what meat it was but definitely not filet mignon. Can't believe they don't know how to cook a simple steak. Do not eat here! Flavorless!

    If I can, I can give This restaurant to 10 stars! This is my favorite mexican restaurant near here! I love their foods very much. Especially, there are on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with live music! I will be back, definitely.

    I have to say the menu is insanely huge being a good thing they have so many options everything looked good but can't that it was actually good. I had. Tamal oxaqueño - It was the tamal of the day mines was red pork. it wasn't the worst but not the best. Rating: 7/10 Green Chilaquiles: I asked the waitress for them to be spicy. and my eggs to be over easy. I did not get either. Chilaquiles where not the best all I could taste is the tomatillo. it was a big portion, which I liked, too bad I wasn't a fan of them. Rating:4/10 Would i try them again? yes, there menu selection is huge. I won't order chilaquiles again.

    So I love seafood and my husband loves Mexican food. The garlic octopus and chimichanga are amazing and their drink list is never ending and extremely tasty. The atmosphere is completely adorable and we can’t wait to bring our kiddos. The also give you free salsa and ceviche to start. We will be back!

    It was first time here and had a good time but our server was not that helpful but just did her job ( should know history of the place and food questions) great drink selection looks fun for parties, group of friends

    Food was excellent, place was clean. Waitresses are nice. Live music is great ....... The reason I gave it 2 stars in atmosphere is because the music was extremely loud, I've couldn't hear my niece seating next to me what she was saying. Music needs to be not that loud.

  • 3/5 Glo 5 months ago on Google
    I enjoyed the atmosphere! I would come back to try something different. The only reason I gave it 3 starts is because all the meat that came with the parillada was very dry. Very limited seasoning and it was plain and even tasted a bit old.
