Canales Cafe

The pecan pie is 5 dollars and very delicious!! I had a piece while driving through to Corpus Christie. What a delightful old style cafe. Very relax. The service was great too. The did have some pretty good lunch deals from 10 - 14 dollars also but I arrived a little too early for that.

Best steak in Texas, always perfect.When oyster season, do yourself a favor and order.won't be disappointed.Lolie McCorquodale.Tivoli Texas

Love their potato and egg tacos. That's all I've ever gotten there as I pass through there to go to the Rio Grande Valley. I'll have to eat there sometime!

Down home country cooking from a kind Mexican family. Not fancy Mexican, not Tex Mex, but down home meals you mamacita would cook. Actually the dad cooks, and mama runs the restaurant, and the kids serve. The steak and seafood menu is descent too. Ribeyes for under twenty bucks. We enjoyed the shrimp, especially the fried shrimp. For some reason they were much bigger than the grilled ones.

Was expecting a nice little Mexican restaurant but the enchiladas were not good. The sauce tasted like chili. I will say however the menudo is delicious and so was the cheesesteak sandwich, it was made with cheddar cheese but I didn't mind it too much. The ribeye steak tacos were good too.

Had the lunch special and it was more food than I could eat. 4 slices of pork loin with gravy, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, salad tea and a dessert for $9, going back tonight for the ribeye

Doesnt look like much driving past. Small local cafe with quaint atmosphere! Good coffee served in fiesta cups ! Breakfast served till 11 am with a good selection. Husband got the chorizo & egg plate (bye homemade tortillas) and I got the 3 egg omelette ! If your driving thru stop and support local

Do not go here if your in a hurry ,also I think all the food comes out of cans nothing seemed to be fresh I think they even put pickled jalapeños in the Pico de Gallo . Also overpriced and received a tiny carne guisada taco . Will not be back here ,save yourself and go to Dq if you have to eat in Tivoli .

I'd really give this place 3.5 stars if I could. The wait staff was nice and the actual restaurant was interesting in the way that small time restaurants just have sort of a local flavor. My beef enchiladas had moments when the flavors melded with the corn tortilla taste and were pretty good. Otherwise they were ok. (Lots of gravy!) The people with me had carne guisada and chicken enchiladas. Overall we'd give the food a 6 out of 10. But considering we were hungry in a tiny town it was good enough.

Their breakfast tacos are really awesome! Potato, egg, and Carne gusiada gravy is my favorite! Their steak night is always a big hit on Friday evenings.
