We went inside to eat and literally had to change our order to take out and wait outside it smelled of smoke sooo bad. Super unfortunate and unpleasant it turned me off from eating their food all together.

La Canasta Mexican Food is one of those casual spots that feels warm and welcoming right away. The flavors are bold and satisfying, especially the tacos and homemade-style dishes. Portions are generous, and everything tastes fresh without trying too hard. It’s simple, affordable, and dependable—when I’m craving comfort Mexican food, this place always hits right.

Ordered take out, food is very good. Ran out of tres leches(because it’s very good) so they gave me flan and churros. Excellent

The food here is absolutely incredible. We always order takeout, and every single time it’s perfect. I’m not kidding when I say they have some of the best fries I’ve ever had…I literally dream about them. Absolutely recommend the burrito and nachos. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. If you’re looking for your new favorite Mexican spot, this is it.

This place was on the list to try. I must say it didn't disappoint at all. The guacamole was amazing. Fresh ingredients added a great flavor and good portions to boot. The enchiladas were well made and seasoned well. The flavor of each ingredient in the sauce was very well throughout each bite. The chili Relenos were some of the best I have ever tried. The pobalno peppers were sweet and smokey with the cheese and beef that made it all pair so well. The rice was seasoned well with tomatoes and other spices and vegetables. The beans were also cooked very well. Everything tasted amazing here. The service was attentive and very nice and polite. This place is definitely worth a visit for authentic food. Will be coming back here again.

What an excellent find! the pictures don't do it justice. The guacamole is fresh and creamy, paired with crunchy and not the typically stale corn chips you get at other restaurants. Enchilada Suisas was creamy and delicious with a lovely savory chicken and naturally sweet beans. The rice was flavored and had corn bits, a lovely surprise. The chile relenos was an all time favorite, with a smoky pepper and amazing savory meat with a well seasoned rice with tomato bits. Going to become my new go to.

Amazing dishes! The guacamole was fresh and the Short Rib Enchiladas were rich but not too heavy, the mole was incredible. It’s a BYOB spot and will definitely be coming back!
The food is amazing and our waitress was so nice.
