Canela’s Deli

Stumbled upon this place because it’s across from CVS. Just moved to the area and said hey why not…
I came in w/​my son and we ordered, arepas with chicken and cheese — this was just ok… not really enjoying the thousand island sauce on it and it was a bit overpriced.
But the real shining star was the mango banana fresh smoothie she made us. Yum!!! It was huge and cost about $ 4 I think…
My son loves thier cheese empanadas and bunuelo… I like the chicken and beef. I think I will try more items when I go back next week :
This place is very small but does have seating and usually it’s never packed.

Fresh food. Great customer service. Delivery can be slow at times, particularly around lunch. Overall I’d still recommend them.
The chicken bruschetta salad, beef empanadas, and chicken gumbo soup are especially worth ordering.

Love this deli! So good!
I work by Target and someone from the deli stopped by my job and dropped off a menu.
So far, everything that everyone has ordered has been liked. As for me, here is my opinion on the things that I have ordered for myself:
–Chicken noodle soup (soup of the day): All I can say is WOW! Now, don’t get me wrong, there is nothing extra special IN this soup, just your basic things (chicken, noodles, celery, onions, and carrots), but it’s HOW they make it. The veggies are cooked perfectly, not mushy, but not al dente either… I think it’s the broth though that really makes this soup awesome. Definitely homemade broth, not too greasy, and not salty (I like stuff salty and I didn’t not feel the need to add any to this soup because the flavor was awesome). My husband and coworker also agreed there was something so good about this soup.
–Baked potato soup w/​cheddar and bacon (soup of the day): Another very tasty soup. You can tell they made it fresh as well. Lots of bacon. I could not really taste the cheddar too much (it was mixed into the soup like the bacon so I don’t think you can ask for the soup without it). The only thing I would change is it could be a little thicker.
–Beef Empanadas (Colombian style): Standard Colombian empanadas. Nothing special, nothing bad. My only gripe was the hot sauce they came with. Not your typical Colombian hot sauce that is served. Lacked heat, cilantro, and overall flavor IMO.
–Chicken Empanadas (Colombian style): I have to admit, I have never seen chicken Colombian empanadas. These were interesting for me. Besides the chicken and potatoes, there was also corn. These were a little dry for my taste and don’t think I would order them again. My coworker really liked them though.
Cajun Melt (lunch special): — Blackened Chicken Breast (perfectly cooked and not too much heat), raw red onions & sweet peppers (the perfect balance of flavors for the Cajun chicken), melted mozzarella cheese, spicy mayo (not spicy, just flavorful), on a hero (the bread was super soft and made the sandwich kind of just melt all together.
So to sum it all up, this deli is definitely a place my coworkers and I will order from frequently. The prices are right (big portions), delivery is fast (30 – 40 minutes), and they are super nice as well!

Good new addition to the neighborhood. Typical deli selections, what I’ve tried so far was decent, plus some empanadas, chicharons and other similar snacks. Very reasonable prices and nice people. I’ll try to post a menu soon!
