    Portions were great and main course was excellent. Ceviche trio portion was great but only enjoyed 2/3 . I’d definitely go again but would recommend only getting the single ceviche app. Cheers

    We had a wonderful meal at Canonita in The Venetian. I am celiac and was able to enjoy a delicious and safe meal. I had chips with salsa and guacamole to start with. The chips were corn and confirmed to be safe for celiacs. I really enjoyed the salsa. It was smoky and a little spicy. I ordered grilled fish tacos on corn tortillas for my main course. The waiter said that the head chef would be walking my meal through the kitchen to ensure it was safe. The chef even brought my meal to the table. It was some of the freshest and tastiest fish I have ever eaten. My husband (not celiac) had the chicken mole. He loves mole and said it was some of the best he’s ever eaten. We both highly recommend this restaurant.
