★★★★★ 5.0 Ms. Geneva Edwards · Jan 2026

I recently visited a wonderful Peruvian spot called Canastas with my youngest son . When he got his order he was disappointed because he failed to look at the large selection of choices they offered- then he asked me what I wanted. I tried their green rice and pinto beans, which were seasoned just right and had a perfect texture. They also served up some delicious grilled chicken and a side of plantains that were super tasty. Everything flowed together really well. The service was quick, and the food came out hot and perfectly seasoned. The second time I went, I just ordered a bowl of the green rice and a bowl of the pinto beans, and it was just as satisfying. Definitely a place worth returning to!

I absolutely love this place! I recommend the lab chops, (make sure you get extra sauce for the lamb)green beans and fried rice the plantins are good as well. I also tried the half quarter chicken dark meat(dipping sauce). You won't be disappointed. The lamb chops are a little pricey, but it's worth every bite.

Flavorful 🔥 And Seasoned 🧑🏾‍🍳 Most Restaurant Establishments Rely purely On Their Signature Sauce for Flavor. This isn’t the case here!! Highly recommend! First time here. I’ll be back 😎 I Purchased The Chopped Chicken Sandwich 🔥

It’s a hit or miss at this place. Food is usually good but the service sucks all the time. The previous owners when it was called Salsa Chicken had better service. I’ve been here four times and they make you feel like they’re doing you a favor. Today I ordered takeout meal for one, no drink, no desert. Spent $19.08 and paid $20 cash. Left $7 at the tip bucket (35%) and was asked, do you want your change? I said yes. Not too happy about counting 92 cents she basically threw the change at me. Some coins dropped and the ones placed on my hand went in the tip jar. Not a lthank you” or a “have good evening.” Chicken Fiesta is 10 extra minutes from my home. I will be driving the extra 10 minutes. For the last 17 years at Chicken Fiesta I’ve been greeted, treated right, and provided wi

First time there. I ordered Papa a la huancaína. Potatoes were steaming hot, they were supposed to be cold like the authentic plate. Too many potatoes not enough sauce. Not going back
