La Canasta Mexican Food in South Philly is a hidden gem offering delicious, authentic Mexican cuisine. The quesabirria with pork is a standout—crispy tortillas stuffed with tender, flavorful pork and melty cheese, served with a rich consommé that takes the dish to another level. The fresh guacamole and warm, homemade chips are the perfect start to the meal. Plus, the prices are incredibly reasonable, making it a great spot for a tasty, affordable meal.

My favorite meal of my 7 day work trip. We took a Lyft from downtown. Definitely worth it! Authentic Mexican food. Delicious!!!! Everyone enjoyed their selection. The rice was just like my aunts make, beans were perfectly cooked, and my chills relleno was the best I’ve had at restaurants. Our waiter, a young man, was super nice and patient either our group of 15. They do not sell alcohol but it’s BYOB and fortunately someone has done little vodka bottles that went perfect...

I've ordered and eaten from here enough times where I feel compelled to finally leave a review and give back to what they've given to me. The food is fantastic. The level of consistency in producing delicious meal after delicious meal should be studied by other restaurants. I have my favorites (fish tacos, gordita) but I've ordered many different items as well and never been disappointed. Treat yourself and you'll likely become a repeat customer.
