El Canaveral is set in a vintage Schlitz corner tavern. The appealing interior includes a front bar with beer tappers and a rear dining room with colorful Mexican decorations. There is also a landscaped dining terrace. The menu offers unpretentious Mexican fare, including a nice grilled skirt steak, shrimp in several preparations and a large parrillada. Items of note include the codorniz (a Cornish game hen with a mild chile paste), the birria made with lamb, and the delicious cactus paddle salad. (Jeff Beutner)
