WOW! Picked this place totally at random because it sounded delicious online. It was incredible. All four of us loved our dishes. Flavors were complex and original. Food was perfectly cooked. But, by far the best part was the service. It rivaled the service in the best restaurants I have ever been to. Absolutely recommend and we will be back.

Excellent. Fantastic. Loved it. Service was so accommodating (especially given our many dietary restrictions). They gave us a complimentary ceviche wonton that was delicious. Food was amazing! (And I’ve been blessed to have lots of delicious Peruvian food in my life!) Great balance of innovation with traditional Peruvian cuisine. My favorite spot in Rockville for sure!

Peruvian cuisine is one of my favorite and I wanted to look for a new restaurant to try with my husband in Rockville. I found La Canela searching on google maps and it had over 400 reviews with a rating over 4 stars so we decided to give it a try for date night.

The restaurant decor is beautiful. Staff is super friendly and professional. Food was delicious but too salty for me, specially the seco de carne. Parking garage is a breeze walking distance. Definitely I’ll be trying La canela one more time. I love Rockville town square.

We enjoyed a meal at La Canela on a busy St. Patrick’s day evening. We had a reservation and staff were very kind when we arrived, although slow at seating us as we sat around and waited for roughly ten minutes. This is understandable due to the short staffing plaguing the food industry. The food in general tasted terrific, and the ambiance was also very classy. My meal had a generous portion of rice and garbanzos, but a very small helping of short ribs. The individual meals cost in the $25-$35 range, while cocktails were about $12-$14 each.

Awesome!!! Picked this place at random because I want to taste Peruvian foods. It was incredible. I liked all the dishes, but I loved the middle food of the first picture and free appetizer of the second picture. Flavor itself was very interestingly complex. Strongly recommend, and I will definitely come back.
