First time visiting and the food is amazing I'm definitely going back to eat here!

El Canastón is such a hidden gem—an unexpected but amazing Turkish and Mexican fusion spot! I had the tacos de canasta and was blown away. The salsa and slaw combo was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and just the right amount of kick.
We also tried the birria ramon, which was massive and super clean tasting. Honestly, I barely made a dent in it, but it was so worth it.
Tried Turkish coffee for the first time too—wasn’t quite prepared for that experience, but wow, I’m definitely awake now!
Might be the only reason I come to the mall these days. Totally worth it!

Great food tucked away in the corner of the mall! Sope, quesadilla, tacos all delicious. Highly recommended for a quick meal, great value and kind owners

An excellent taco shop in the Northridge mall food court. Fantastic, handmade while you wait tortillas..wonderful tacos, sopes, and quesadillas all served with tasty salsas and a smile. Plenty of excellent veggie options and an unusual twist of baklava and Turkish sweets in addition to the more traditional flan and tres leches.

Delicious meats and seasonings. Also cool to see other offerings like Turkish Coffee and Baklava. Too bad I live far. I would eat here all the time!

I had street tacos. The food is fresh ingredients, fast service, and a knowledgeable server. I'm coming here every time I happen to be at Northridge Mall.

The owners cooked and served. They love what they do and it shows. Very nice. Food was great. There were 4 of us and we all got different meals. All very good. Driving through but would go out of my way to come again. Atmosphere got two stars because it is in the food court at the mall. Would still go again regardless. Thanks!!!!

Went here today for the first time. I ordered the carnitas burrito and it was delicious! I was surprised to see they sold Turkish treats. I bought an order of Turkish delights and the owner even included an extra piece. Very great service. You can tell the owner really cares about his customers and the quality of his food. Great flavors! Will definitely come again!! :)
Love the vibe of this cute little corner place; the artisan decor is inspiring. I got the huarache al pastor—YUM! Very authentic flavors. Guy's got the sazon. The owner is such a nice person; Really cool how he blends Turkish & Mexican culture with the baklava, Turkish delight, and coffee. Coming back next time we're at the mall!!!:)

An exceptional gastronomic experience!This Mexican restaurant has managed to capture the essence and authentic flavor of Mexico in every dish. From the first bite, I was impressed by the quality and freshness of the ingredients, as well as by the skill with which traditional Mexican flavors are combined. I highly recommend trying their tacos, quesadillas, huarache and especially their sopes they are simply delicious!. This place has definitely become one of my favorites for authentic Mexican cuisine.

Food was ok though I don’t think Im coming back. Service was also ok. I might have gotten food poisoning - I’m suffering from severe stomach ache.Also - I’ve noticed your responses to some reviews - they depicted and indicated defense mechanisms although you accompany it with apologies but it defeats the purpose of the apologies (acknowledging the discrepancies) and sincerity is dissolved. It sounds that there are justifications in your apologies. Their healthy criticisms so your business can improve and allow growth which gives birth to compassion instead of greed. On the side note, if it’s not so positive feedback, this could serve as a warning to my fellow consumers and that is ok.

I’m very disappointed I paid 40$ for 4 tacos over priced food to make matters worse I got food poisoning tacos de chicharon. I don’t mind paying for good food but the chorro and chaffing n stomach aches it’s a nightmare.
Very tasty food and extremely friendly staff =)
