Carefully crafted from authentic recipes, every meal at Cañonita is a feast for the eyes and adventure for the taste buds.

Heritage and innovation merge with menu selections such as Santa Rosa Barbacoa and Mexico City Enchiladas for lunch, and Carne Asada and Pollo Mole Poblano for dinner. Our bar features a wide variety of beers, wines, cocktails, and fresh margaritas and guests can sample one of more than 50 fine-aged, authentic tequilas.

As the only restaurant located along the canal-front in The Venetian and The Palazzo, Cañonita offers guests a unique opportunity to experience the sights and sounds of the Grand Canal, with waterfront views of the resort's famous singing gondoliers. Outside, our Street Taqueria food truck recreates an essential element of Mexico City's culinary and cultural landscape, featuring a variety of street foods and house-infused margaritas.

Truly fabulous food and exceptional service! We sat out by the “canal” though and it does get loud at times out there. Didn’t bother us though and we will definitely go back!

We had specifically requested a table by the canal. When we got there there was an empty table next to the canal. We were seated at a neighboring table. The hostess said she would check if we could sit there. She never came back to let us know and then about 15 mins later another family was seated in that table by the canal. We went there to celebrate a milestone birthday.

A great spot before making the walk to the sphere. We sure enjoyed the beautiful table by the water. Our waiter was awesome and the pitcher of margaritas was on point. Food was great.
