La Canasta Taqueria y Panaderia — Restaurant in Georgia

We stopped by to check out La Canasta Mexican bakery mid-afternoon, so this review may be a bit unfair due to time of day and inventory on hand being somewhat limited. The quality of the baked goods was decent, and very authentic.

Mexican bread is considered a bit dry and coarse by american standards, but this is normal, as it is traditionally accompanied with a cup of Mexican Chocolate or glass of milk when eaten. Conchas are a rustic yeast sweet egg bread, frequently with a cinnamon flavor, topped with a sweet baked on crust of sugar, butter, and flour. This traditional bread is a small domed round loaf about 5 inches in diameter, and the basis for my review.

Being of Mexican ancestry and originally from California where Mexican bakeries abound, I can recognize good Mexican bread when I taste it. La Canasta bakery makes pretty good Conchas and other crumbly sweet baked goods as well as empanadas (baked turnovers).

If you are desiring soft fluffy sweet baked goods like from a supermarket bakery you will be disappointed. If you are looking for rustic baked goods that are sweet, but not sugar overloaded, give La Canasta bakery a try. Their baked goods are best accompanied with a cup of hot coffee, chocolate, or a cold glass of milk.

I plan to give them another try, next time earlier in the day when they haven't sold out of some items. Maybe then, I can revise my...

Ambiance gives the impression you are at some rural areas in Latin America, which is not great depending on how you view it. Interior and the space are in disorganized and uncleanliness fashion. We thought to dine in, but change our minds and order out, as the view is not quite pleasant. The service is good for the time we wait. They even offered to give us some complimentary drinks, we had to wait for so long 👍 We ordered some 🌮 Tacos and the corn tortillas shell they made there are quite tasty. Tacos we're served with 🧅 onions, cilantro, drizzle of lime, and sweetbreads for protein. 😎 Cool. We also got some Tostada Al pastor. Here tortillas are fried served with beans, cheese and sour cream, top with diced tomatoes and onions....

I love the fact this was mine and my husband's secret little authentic Mexican spot-10 x better then Jalpenos and Cancun's- but the server we were used is no longer there. So, of course, the service went down hill. One server over charged for our fresca aqua which normally includes a free refill as stated on the menu. The other was simply careless about us at all and on top of everything instead of replacing the menus, they taped over the prices; WAY higher than they were before. The funny thing is my husband speak fluent Spanish amd is also Mexican so there is no reason to believe we are simply stuck up gringos making...
