Description: Bringing to mind the authentic taquerias of the legendary marketplaces of Mexico, Chef Donna Willey brings you Canonita. This casual and exciting Mexican dining experience features an authentic, rustic menu of "Mexico-City Soul Food" with delectable tacos, ceviches and mouth watering barbacoa made with savory fire-roasted meats, grilled vegetables and the freshest seafood. Hand-made tortillas, refreshing salsas and fresh-juice Star Margaritas provide guests with an unforgettable "true taste of Mexico." The bustling open-air kitchen adds to the home-style warmth and energy of Canonita as do the patio festoon lighting and umbrellas with lively Salsa and Tejano music. Behind the bar many imported cervezas are featured alongside old-world Sangria and many premium Mexican tequilas, perfect for relaxed sipping.

The food was very good, and considering the prices at all the restaurants in the area, it was reasonably priced. They have a menu including prices on their website. They also... More

We stopped here twice for Happy Hour. Both times we were able to get a table for two right on the water and watch the Gondolas go by with the Gondoliers singing as they moved along. This place is amazing. A grande canal on the top floor of the Venetian Mall. Any way, for happy hour they offer a very... More

We enjoyed the refined touch to the menu, it isn't just tacos and burritos. Our server was fantastic and the atmosphere along the canal was relaxing.

We were seated immediately well not immediately there was some confusion with the staff as they circled each other searching for purpose. Our server was pleasant but there were gaps in delivery. For instance we asked for onions and tomatoes on the side... More

We worked a trade show that day that didn't finish until 5ish and by the time everyone changed clothes and regrouped it was after 6. With the concert starting at 8, we were really pinched for time, so we wanted to eat somewhere close. We were able... More

I was really surprised and disappointed about the poor execution and taste of the food at this restaurant. Granted its a little fun to sit by the canal at the Venetian but really thats the only good thing. The service was ok but the food lacked everything. Ok, the nachos and quacamole was ok. The beef Fajitas Tejanas was dry... More
