La Canasta Mexican Food in South Philly is a hidden gem offering authentic and well-prepared dishes using fresh ingredients. The service is professional and friendly, and the atmosphere is cozy. The menu highlights include the best nachos, street corn, gorditas, and wings, along with standout dishes like the quesabirria with pork—crispy tortillas stuffed with tender, flavorful pork and melty cheese, served with a rich consommé. The fresh guacamole and warm, homemade chips are the perfect start to the meal, and the chiles relleno is the best many have had. The rice and beans are perfectly cooked, and the salsa is perfection. Prices are incredibly reasonable, making it a great spot for a tasty, affordable meal. It's a fantastic neighborhood BYOB spot, with some wheelchair accessibility through an alternate entrance.
This place is an excellent find, with the guacamole being fresh and creamy, paired with crunchy and not the typically stale corn chips. The Enchilada Suisas is creamy and delicious with a lovely savory chicken and naturally sweet beans, while the rice is flavored and has corn bits, a lovely surprise. The chile rellenos is an all-time favorite, with a smoky pepper and amazing savory meat with a well-seasoned rice with tomato bits. The beef short rib tacos and Birria Tacos with consome, sope, and chile relleno are all phenomenal, with everything being fresh and delicious. This place is definitely worth a visit for authentic and flavorful Mexican food.
