Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

This is where I had my rehearsal dinner, need I say more? No.

Some of the best Mexican food I've had. The menu is overwhelming with the number of choices that they have, and unless you're familiar with Mexican food it's difficult to know what everything is. That being said, you probably won't end up with a bad selection with whatever you get. I recommend their fajitas meal as a good choice if you're unsure of what to get. On this most recent visit they forgot to include the rice and beans with my tacos, but it was still more than I could finish on my own. There are complimentary chips and salsa and the cheese sauce is a must.

We live 2 blocks away and come here at least once a week. Authentic Mexican food and super fast service. The alcoholic drinks are big and inexpensive. Salsa and chips as soon as you sit down. It does get crowded, but we've never had to wait for a table. They have several other locations and we've been to all of them as well. They are all good. I always get the pollo salad and my husband usually gets the tacos de carne asada. We've NEVER had bad food here or bad service. And we've been eating here for years.

Better Mexican food than any place I've been to in the Pittsburgh area. Flavor, smells and textures similar to what I found in Texas. Definitely worth checking out.

This was the first time I have eaten at El Canelo and I must say, I was very impressed. The wait staff was friendly and prompt and the prices could not be beat. We had a huge lunch for around $15.00 and you can't beat that

Okay, we kinda like eating at El Canelo. If you're old enough to remember that it used to be a Wendy's, they've made some changes. It is a rather dated remodel though. Don't go for the ambiance! After the PSU game was over on Saturday and won, we made our way to eat. At 7:30 pm, we only had several tables to choose from. Waiters are always friendly, promptly bringing chips and really good fresh salsa while taking your drink order. We love their Mexican cheese and chorizo sausage appetizer, so that's how we began. We ordered two dinners from their long list of entrees, beef/cheese enchilada and chicken burrito, with refried beans, tomato slice, sour cream, lettuce, and guacamole. Neither of us could quite finish our meals, but we did manage to ask for more chips and salsa! Total cost for two with ice tea; $21.00.

This was always our go to place to have a quick dinner and some drinks! They always had friendly, attentive staff and good food! Our last few experiences have been terrible though :( The staff has become very negligent and careless. Several times they have forgotten to bring out some of our food or have completely brought us the wrong item. Recently we did not have a server come to our table for over 20 minutes when we were waiting for more drinks. There were only 3 tables filled in the restaurant with at least 4 employees working. We were really upset with the lack of service so we decided to leave. When we went up to the register they tried to charge us with food that we never even got. I'm really sad making a bad review on this restaurant because it used to be so great but they really need to get back in shape because they are losing a lot of business.

This was an old Wendy's many years ago and has been converted into this Mexican restaurant. The service is very good as you are greeted quickly and chips and salsa our on your table practically before you sit down. Huge menu with many options. The fajitas are really good but found the tacos to be somewhat bland. Overall if you want something quick for lunch this place is just fine.

The worst Mexican food I have eaten since you could check out reviews online! I assume the problem is that there are no other Mexican restaurants in the area. The food was just plain bad. Flavorless, mushy, low quality ingredients. The good reviews for this place are way off. Quick service, though.

You know how Chappy know's this is authentic Mexican? Because I asked the waitress for no beef and she said in broken English "Okay no beans!" If you want real Mexican this is place, trust old Chappy he's been to Mexico. It's the absolute best thing to happen to New Castle since... well nothing really good has happened to New Castle so this is the best. I order the quesadilla's just about every time, only problem is I love sour Crème and I don't get enough and extra sour cream cost Chappy 85 cents. I drink a lot of water. The waitress refilled my cup six times! Do you know what kind of Mexican Zen Waitress focus it takes to refill a cup six times during service? RECOMMENDATION: Go for lunch, the portions are just as big but its much cheaper.

The only place to go in New Castle for Mexican food. I am Italian, as are most other NC natives. That being said, I am always in the mood for macaroni when I come home from school. The only other cuisine I crave is Canelo! Great service and quality every time.
(5)Emily P.
By far my favorite place to eat in NC. There have been instances where I have gone to Canelo for both lunch and dinner. Sometimes two days in a row. It's that good! Service is great and you will be shocked at how fast your food hits the table. Prices are great for such good food. Go out and support this local business!
(5)Jerry S.
The staff was friendly, the food was not. I literally got sick.
(2)I.E. C.
I unexpectedly enjoyed this restaurant. The place is a little bare bones and cheap looking, but the food is superior to any other Mexican restaurant within a 30 mile radius. Prices are cheap and the service was excellent. I highly recommend the tacos de carne asada as the, meat was excellent and cooked to perfection, which a lot of other Mexican restaurants seems to screw up. This is now my favorite restaurant in the area.
