Rojo Canela

Oh my! Hard to find; look for the flags and a smaller sign than it deserves. Absolutely wonderful food that's not like any other place around. If the owner recommends something, try it.

Truly original Mexican food.

Great food. Great service. I will definitely be stopping by next time I'm in town.

Very good authentic Mexican food! Our first time. They were friendly & kind!! gave suggestions of their favorites! Will definitely be back.

There was a lot of buzz about how great this place is before I stopped in. One night we drove to one of our favorite restaurants only to discover that it was beyond packed, and everywhere nearby was just as bad, so we decided it was a great idea to try this joint out. It's a different kind of place from the two larger and more polished Mexican restaurants in town; the food is less Americanized and more genuinely Mexican while the signs and paint and slightly crooked paintings on the walls all have the feeling of one person who isn't a professional decorator but really cares about the place. My significant other described it as "cute." It definitely is. It's also clean and surprisingly bright inside due to the near-white tile floor. It's definitely more of a family restaurant than an intimate one.

I had a burrito with chorizo and beans inside. That was absolutely the best chorizo I've ever had. It wasn't really spicy but it was full of flavor. I'd take it over my country sausage in the morning and that's saying a lot coming from a born-and-bred Southerner. The owner seems to run the entire front by himself and does so very well. He is very nice and hits that sweet spot of meal service attention where he takes care of you but doesn't constantly ask if you're good. The man is a real professional and easy to talk to.

Frankly, I think it's ridiculous that they aren't full every night. With such great food and great service, I think I'll be spending a lot more nights out with the family in one of their seats. Do yourself a favor and give the place a try. It may seem a little eccentric from the outside, but you'll fall in love with the place faster than you'd ever expect.

This is a cool spot. Prices are affordable and portions are generous. The owner is very nice. Would recommend they consider an alternative to styrofoam for take home, but not worth knocking a star! I'll be back for sure
