Recently went on Saturday. The carne asada was really good and quite a big portion. So well worth the $20. For drinks I got "La toxica" and a tequila sunrise. They were yummy but I do wish they wouldn't forget the garnish. We went on Saturday because a band was supposed to be coming. We were told they would be there at 9 we stayed until 10:30 and they still hadn't arrived so that was a bummer. Their bathroom was quite nice and clean and they had this cute mirror wall that I took a few pictures in. You do have to be patient with service if you go on a weekend because they do tend to get pretty busy so sometimes they might forget one or two things just kindly remind them (hence the plate with a cut orange. since they forgot my garnish) Overall my food and drinks were good. Would definitely go again.

Came here after work with a few coworkers. Started off with a Michelada with modelo it was really good mix they have. They give you chips, salsa , and fish ceviche when you first sit down. Then we ordered raw oyster it was pretty good but they were kinda small. The salsa that comes with it is very spicy. Then I ordered shrimp ceviche. It was a big plate. It could probably feed 3 people. It had cucumber, onions , and avocado. It was good. I also tried some fried fish my coworker order very taste good crunch. They have a lot of seating inside, big bar area. They always have music playing . The service was good they were always on top of things. They have a big parking lot.

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!
