EL CANELO MEXICAN RESTAURANT — Restaurant in Corpus Christi

Very rude customer service over the phone. As soon as the man got on the phone he says "speak up", seemed to be rushing me to place an order. Then when I asked him to repeat the order where he forgot like two items I asked for (that's no big deal really but worth mentioning) then once I confired the order was correct he not once asked me my name or an estimate for how long it would take. I am ordering from work where I've been here sinced 4 am servicing patients so this experience really just put a bad taste in my mouth. I had higher expectations than that. Hopefully the food...

We stopped in to this place on our way to the island for a late lunch. We were not expecting much but were pleasantly. Our part had the fajita plate, pastor tacos, add the bistec tacos. The fajita meat was cooked just right and the pastor was flavorful. The red salsa is mild in spice hotness level but is good tasting.

Everyone enjoyed their dish and the rice/beans were good too. The tortillas were not drenched in oil and that was a plus for us. Service was prompt and courteous and prices was fair.

We will return if we are...

There are so many taco places in corpus.. this would not be a first pick for me.. wouldn’t even be in my top 5. The tacos were also small and not that great.. I asked for a picadillo and the lady kept saying okay a ground beef taco… and I was just like sure obviously they don’t have picadillo lol.. I gave them 2 stars because the hot sauce was pretty good better then the taco… GO...
