Canonita

*Food review for Vegetarians*

Canonita at The Venetian Hotel offers a superb atmosphere, excellent service, and delightful food. The eclectic menu boasts a variety of options, but the limited choices for vegetarians slightly impacted our experience. Nevertheless, the veggie burrito, nachos, mushroom enchiladas, San Luis chili relleno, and salad were flavorsome. Immerse yourself in the Venetian vibe in Vegas – a must-try dining experience, earning it a solid 4-star rating.

La comida y ambiente muy bien pero la perdida y lo caótica que es la entrada si no eres huésped, me metí una perdida de media hora buscando la entrada por google y nada, fácil entren por el looby del hotel que esta debajo del puente y ahí preguntan en el concierge de otra manera se perderán. Recomiendo el burrito, las margaritas y el guacamole. Por cierto la atención del mesero fue impecable, en pleno 24 de Diciembre y él regio, con una actitud impecable, sonriente, alegre y super calmado. La comida riquísima.

My mom and I could have had a better experience!! The salmon and margaritas were to DIE for!! Our waiter was very kind and attentive. 10/10 recommend, this is a must-visit in Vegas!

Our wait time was little over 10 minutes on Christmas weekend,our attender was polite and well knowledgeable. They serve enchiladas with cilantro rice not the classic one but it was pretty good and refreshing.
We had chicken enchiladas with red and green sauce both were delicious and tortillas were super soft knife slid through easily.
Took the horchata and watermelon agua fresca, horchata was too sweet for me. More like a dessert drink, watermelon was the fresh watermelon juice with a slice of lemon tasted good.
The ambience is great beside the canal and the gondola drivers were singing on every ride.

Missing star note below...The food was quite amazing. I loved the salmon and risotto. We had ahi tuna appetizer and that was a beautiful presentation and delicious too. My friend had the pork wrapped in banana leaf. All the food was good. Their chips aren't anything exceptional, but were fine. If you make reservations you might get to sit by the water. In a curious twist, the restaurant's billing method raised our eyebrows. My friend and I each received separate checks for our meals, but here's the catch: the recommended tip amount printed on both receipts covered the total service for our entire table, not just the individual meals listed on each bill. If we hadn't been eagle-eyed, we might have unwittingly tipped double the amount. This sneaky approach soured our experience a bit, as it felt more like a sly trick than transparent customer service.

In A Nutshell:

-Wow, I was pretty surprised at how great dining at Canonita is.
-I was expecting a normal Mexican restaurant, but the first thing that makes this place standout is that it's a CDMX (aka Mexico City) style restaurant.
-The quality of the food is top shelf.
-I enjoyed a couple of their seafood dishes (appetizer & main course).
-Each one came out piping out w/ plenty of mussels, clams, fish, octopus is very tasty sauces that you can soak up w/ toasted bread.
-My buddy ordered their skirt steak, which was phenomenal as well.
-If you enjoy margaritas, they have a nice selection of them.
-We tried their margarita flight (classic, pineapple, jalapeno or roasted rooster).
-I really enjoyed the pineapple margarita the best.
-The service is very friendly & efficient, plus they know how to recommend the right dishes.

Overall, I totally recommend this Mexican restaurant b/c it's not your typical Mexican restaurant. Having that CDMX flair really represents the capital of Mexico very well, it's like eating in Condesa but in Vegas.

On our first night, my friends and I wanted to have a Mexican food and found this restaurant since we’re in Venetian. Service was good, John was friendly. We had a good service and good food and the drinks as well. Go try this place, there’s busy but you can be seated soon. Had a great time 👍🏻we started our night with so much fun and laughter 👍🏻Great location at the Venetian canal 👍🏻
