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!

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.

La Canasta has quickly become one of my go-to Mexican restaurants in South Philly. The food is great and is always prepared very quickly (for both dine in and takeout), prices are reasonable, and the employees are very kind. It's BYOB too, which is always a plus. They take cash and card and are open for lunch and dinner every day except Sunday. It has never been very busy any of the times I've dined in or picked up takeout which has always stumped me because it's so good!

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...

Thank you!! I ordered delivery and everything was fresh and delicious. The churros were SO good and tasted like they were just made. Elote was bomb, even my side of guac was excellent! Excited to come for dine in!

Edit review:

Ordered from here again and wish I could give it 5 more stars. literally everything is delicious, fresh, and comes hot and neatly packaged. Some of my favorites are the elote - corn is some how fresh and delicious in the middle of January and perfect flavors, short rib mole enchiladas - the mole is sweet and pairs with the salty short rib amazingly. Honorable mention: THE CHURROS are so fresh, crunchy outside and soft inside texture, and are...
