What our guests are saying
The BEST Mexican🙏💕💜🥰!!!
Ana Larsen
Café Canela is an absolute gem! Everything I’ve tried has been delicious, but their birria tacos (served Friday–Sunday) are hands down my favorite. Perfectly tender, flavorful, and packed with rich, savory goodness—every bite is next-level. The consomé is incredible, the tortillas are spot on, and you can truly taste the care that goes into the food. If you’re even thinking about trying them, don’t hesitate—these birria tacos alone are worth planning your weekend around. Highly recommend! 🌮🔥

If I could give this place more than five stars, I would! We are huge Mexican food fans, and this hands-down is the best Mexican food on the oven. I’m addicted to the seafood nachos! You should see the size of their burrito.
