La Canasta Mexican Food

Wow their food is delicious! The service is also excellent! I think this may be one of the best Mexican restaurants in Philly. Today was my first visit I know it will be a regular!

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.

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.

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.

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 with our piña agua fresca. Definitely recommend this hidden gem. Prices were very reasonable and portions were just right. The salsa and guacamole were perfection. Wish I would have gone back before heading back to California!
