About La Canasta

La Canasta offers an authentic Mexican dining experience, making visitors feel like they are enjoying a meal cooked by their grandmother. The menu features delicious, homemade dishes such as chile verde, menudo, huevos con chorizo, carnitas, and handmade tortillas. Vegetarian options like chile rellenos and chilaquiles are also available. Customers can delight in the famous birria of chivo and chile aquilles. While parking may be a bit challenging, the restaurant makes up for it with excellent customer service, a clean environment, and warm, cordial greetings. The staff adds to the pleasant atmosphere. The food and coffee are sure to delight, making La Canasta a great choice for an authentic Mexican meal.

The reviews praise the exceptional pinto beans, chicharrones, carnitas, and homemade corn tortillas, which are even better than the customers' mothers' cooking. The red chili tamales are also highly recommended, while the green chili and cheese dish did not meet the same high standards. Overall, the restaurant is described as a must-try, offering authentic flavors and great customer service, with excellent tacos, tamales, and enchiladas, as well as homemade, high-quality tortillas.
