What customers say?

“ 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 ”

- Dan SW -

“ 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. ”

- Will w -

“ 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. ”

- Brandon Pallas -

“ Man.. I got a burrito from here and let me tell yall best burrito I've had in forever. Their food has alot of flavor and to be honest best Mexican restaurant in elgin by far. All the other places need to step up their game. Definitely recommend ”

- Brayan Reza -

“ 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! ”

- Jesús Rosas -

“ My go-to place for Menudo. 1/2 gallon for takeout, comes with the chopped onions/cilantro/limes/peppers to add as you with. Ordered a gordita for the family to sample as well, they scarfed it up. ”

- Scott Groves -

“ My favorite order here are the enchiladas michoacanas with asada. And an orange jarrito preparado ”

- Leslie Chavez -

“ 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. ”
