Really not that impressed by Canyon Cafe. My work recently moved downtown to our corporate headquarters building, so I am trying out all kinds of new restaurants in the area. Sadly, Canyon Cafe just doesn't cut it. I ordered the carnitas plate which came with meat, fajita veggies, rice, beans and tortillas. The meat was tender but bland, the fajita veggies were not cooked thoroughly (I expect fajitas veggies to be crispy and fresh off the grill), the rice was mediocre. The beans and tortillas were the best part of the plate. My coworker got the ahi tuna southwestern salad and he rated it 4/5 stars.
The best part of my meal was the white chocolate nut dessert that comes with your check. It's wrapped up in a corn husk and looks as good as it tastes!
One highlight: free dessert if you check in on Yelp! I got the chocolate cake to go. It was super rich and basically a huge block of fudge. The crust was tasty but I hardly ate any of the cake itself.
4 stars for service and convenience, 2 stars for food, 2 stars for dessert (even though it was free). I probably won't be back.
