I ordered guacamole with chips because nothing looked appetizing from their menu and thinking you cant go wrong with guac and chips, well the guac was black and i went to ask for fresh guac and the cashier had the audacity to tell me that she was gonna replace it but it was gonna be black anyway cause the guac was made yesterday, so i asked for my money back instead. Never going to this place again.
Best shredded beef chimi Ive had in a very long time.
Walked in and was iffy because you have to order at a window and then they bring you out your food. I was pleasantly surprised when my food was delivered to my table very fast and tasted amazing. We live far from the establishment but will still come back.
Good food within walking distance of the capital. Awesome green chili burrito. Circle k next door and it has a drive thru. Good spot to have a team meeting that is not too far off the capital
I come here almost every Thursday morning with my mother in law. The food is delicious the service is fast and I love the chips and salsa!
Usually La Canasta is a great place for Mexican food. Today was an off day. The menudo was under cooked, tripe was tough and chewy, and under seasoned. The red chili on the Nanas Special breakfast plate was so hot, it was not pleasant or tasty. Seating was suspect. Theyve filled the dining area with plastic lawn chairs. Im a big guy and couldnt trust them to hold me.
I love their food so much but I wish they hadnt changed their tortillas recently.
Nanas special is the best😋 It costs less than $28 for two adults to have a huge breakfast plate each and drinks.
Food was good! A little pricey so be prepared to pay $9+ for 1 taco, rice & beans. Dont get me wrong it was good but I dont know that worth $9+ dollars as their lunch special. Service was great and fast!
Diane and her staff were, Great, The Food was Great I had the Fajitas, and my Friend had a chicken Torta, and we both had fried ice cream Yum Yum 😋
The food is decent but the service all around needs improvement. Cant take your complaints to management because they are just as rude. Remember leadership starts at the top and trickles down. Ive been taking advantage of the drive thru with the pandemic and having a little one but if my kid is not in the car and I order her the childs plate, they will not give me her drink that is included in the meal. They upgraded the meal and charged me for regular size drinks. When I inquired about it they said it was because they didnt see any kids in the car. Seriously!!! Im done with the rudeness. I will go down the street where the food is authentic and not over priced.
Love it, cant go wrong with anything on the menu. Healthy portions guarantee leaving with a full belly!
Delicious food and fast service. The green chile pork is note worthy.
Great Mexican food here, order at the window, they bring the food. Fast, and the food is always good. Due to Covid, the chip and salsa bar is gone, which is disappointing.
The food is excellent, and comes quickly! The staff is always very friendly.
If you want some good freshly made Mexican food, go here, its out of this WORLD!
Good lunch specials. The restaurant is under renovation so seating is limited.
The food is delicious but what happened to there menudo sizes they only have 1 size now and the portions got smaller and i just paid the same price 😠.
Everything was HORRIBLE! We absolutely hated our meals and for that reason alone we will NEVER go back. They fell short in the customer service dept very disappointing. The restaurant its self was not very inviting.
Always great food and friendly beautiful girls, there salsas are 1 there enchilada are world famous, just saying i wont mention there green burros!!!!
Love the customer service, food is always great and hot; never takes too long to come to the table. The seating is spacious, the outside seating is even better but inside or out, both is excellent.
Good food. Fast and friendly service.
I was craving a light breakfast and Mexican food. I went with Mexican food instead, and La Canasta Capitiolo was perfect. I had Nanas special, which comes with green chili pork. So. Good. Just the right amount of heat and the flavor was enough to make me miss it when I realized I had just scarfed it all down. The potatoes, beans, eggs, and even the tortillas which accompanied the meal were fine, but nothing exceptional. Would eat here again.
Cool and Clean...great food,Ill be going back.
I really enjoyed my lunch here. Very casual and authentic vibe. The restaurant seemed to nice to have to order at the counter and have the found brought to the table, but the enchiladas were fantastic. Nice indoor and outdoor seating options!VictorB
Best enchiladas!! My dads favorite is my favorite.
Was not impressed with front cashier, not very friendly. First impressions count. Next ordered Chilli relleno which came with a pepper stem and tiny pieces of pepper in a thick egg coating? In all my travels I have never seen this style? Change the name to egg relleno! Chef trying to cut down on cost of portions but if the customer doesnt return,whats the point! Dismal for what looked like a promising eatery!
Ordered the carne asada burrito. It was fantastic.
Food is always great. The nanas special green is amazing. Miss the all you can eat chips and salsa (thanks covid). Not a very large restaurant especially with social distance requirements but worth the wait.
I think they have the best chorizo, egg and potato burrito in town.
Food is underwhelming. Waaaayyy to many flies.
The food is authentic! Love to come here. Wish we didnt have to pay for sour cream and guacamole
We ordered a red chilli burro enchilada style and a green chilli chimi enchilada style! Let me tell ALL YALL something...our food came out really fast! Super saucy and very delicious!! By the time we got our drinks and served our chips from the chips n salsa bar sat and had a few bites...our food was at our table! Two thumbs up La Canasta!
Food is great, price is crazy!!! Good that much money $9.71 Im stay with Carolinas. Just for a bean & red chili burrito!
The food is good and the service is incredibly fast, but if youre looking for a good taco try the place across the street, Taqueria Rascon!
Best breakfast burritos! Fresh tortillas, perfect eggs and right portions of potatoes and beans and/or bacon. So good! First discovered them 15 years when working at Health Dept and now make a special trip!
Don’t recommend food was not worth the money.
Very good food an not too bad on PRICES
Great food and super, super fast service.
The albondigas and the steak and eggs were so bomb I dont know if they got a new cook but the food was even better than last time
Great food like really great food....Nice lighting perfect setting.I orderd a Machaca burrito with egg... Very delicious only problem it was sloppy greasy but well worth the flavor
One of the best traditional authentic Mexican restaurants left in the State. Family-owned but branched off, still acquiring that same flavorful robust South of the border taste. Yummmy!!!!
Always a fav as far as food goes. Customer service leaves something to be desired and building is looking super run down.
Food was amazing, price was good, service was nice, distancing was great! We will be back for more.
Best mexican food in south side phoenix
Very disappointed in our experience. Weve been here dozens of times. Due to Covid, you have to order chips and salsa instead of self serve; totally understandable. What made us mad is the fact that the chips come with hot sauce, but if you want salsa, they charge $1.63 for a four ounce cup. Thats ridiculously expensive😠. Dont think well be dining here as much in the future. Too bad.
Great authentic Mexican food. I was impressed that my chicken flautas actually looked just like the menu. They were delicious!
This place is the best love the food its always Great
My food was great! Tastes better than the location on 7th Avenue. Faster service too.
Took mom for her birthday!
Charging extra for beef due to a shortage???? Food is delicious but I think too expensive
Love love love this place!!! Been coming here since I was a kid! Just wish I could get my own refill and chips n salsa again instead of having to ask a staff member
I like these guys!
Take out service is great
Great albondigas! Outside patio dining, drive thru pickup available. Open for breakfast.
Well they have a nice happy hour I believe from 4 to 6 p.m. generally bottled beers usually $2 or less. Free chips and salsa from the from the condiment bar of course. Nice quiet place when you dont want to be
The food at the La Canasta El-Capital is the only place I go because they are the best by far (for all La Canasta’s. Try the Carna Asada burrito and you will be in heaven. No fat or chewy meat like all other Mexican places, just amazing top grilled steak. Their beans are great, tortillas, etc. you really can’t go wrong with anything you order. Hot spice is award winning stuff!!! The place is a typical mex restaurant and is not perfect, but when you walk through those doors and smell that wonderful food cooking you really don’t care how the seats and tables look. Place is clean, I always notice the county inspection rating of “A” which is a big big deal to me. Staff is pretty nice. When you ask for a few extra hot sauce pods they act like you’re asking for them to comp your meal, they really need to get over that. But again, food is awesome and they are a small business that deserves our help!!! Great food. Love El Capital LaCanasta!!!!
Best place to eat real mexican food...the Best yummy yummy
Awesome food
Very nice and even better food.
Decent food, quick
Been a go to for me for over 20 years, ways great food.
My chile relleno was a jalapeño chile and the sause was canned chunky tomato sause
Excellent food. I really love the self-serve chips and salsa. A little more expensive than similar establishments in the area, but still a very good choice.
We loved it the food was great 👍
Love their ground beef tacos and rice.
Delicious Red Burrito enchilada Style with rice and beans and a red cream soda
As the only decent restaurant in the area, the only problem is not eating here every day. The service is plenty fast to eat lunch and get back to the office in time. They make fresh tortilla chips and salsa and they are fantastic. There are several unique dishes here, such as the Nanas Chile Bowls, that are perfect with the chips. This is definitely where you take a new coworker to lunch when you want things to go well.
Great friendly service. Delicious food. An interesting experience each visit, love the exposure with everyday people just like ourselves. Reminds me the all all the same.
Food tasted like they deep fried frozen stuff added lettuce and called it theirs. Taste has definately dropped. Presentation as well. No bueno.
Ok,.for charm. But has seen better days. A little run down. Flies good entertainment on windows. Bring own flyswatter.
Good Mexican food. Close to work and affordable.
Likes thier twist on vegan dishes
Good home cooking
Clean restaurant complimented with fast service and flavorful food
Cold Mediocre Pricey FoodStopped here hungry and in search of a nice meal, and walked away starving served a $45 meal for two with ice cold meat in the green chili burritos . The employees refused to fix and compensate the meal insisting we needed to speak to a fella named Freddy.
Amazing food and Im so glad to see there was a restraint that you can eat inside of again
I really went because I wanted chilaquiles but they dont have any. The food was good how ever. I didnt really like horchata maybe it was just who made it that day. My husband enjoyed the Jamaica. They also have a coffee maker which is nice I wouldve gotten coffee had I noticed sooner. The have a station where the salsa is and the put tortilla chips for you to help yourself they are really good.
Service was ok.Food is overrated.
Busting burritos.
Great food! This was my first time eating in. The inside is rustic and full of heritage. Loved the atmosphere as much as the food!
Average Mexican food. I had the pollo Rico it was pretty good. Nothing to brag about
Delicious 😋🤤
The food is ok- pretty standard Mexican food. The prices are reasonable. Its the kind of place you order at the counter and they give you a number, then your food gets delivered to your table. They also have a little salsa/chips bar. Its not a bad place to grab lunch if you are by the Capitol complex.
The food was actually good. The service however was less than courteous. we arrived about 30 minutes before closing so they told us that we would not be allowed to sit in the dining room even though we had already planned to take her food to go the staff was in a hurry to get out of there. My friend and I walking through the door seem to annoy the cashier who rang us up. I only gave them three stars because their red chili burros are my absolute favorite.
This is a staple landmark so too speak of the Best Mexican food in Phoenix. Been coming to La Canasta since I was a lil girl after Mass with my parents. Brings me to my happy place
One of my favorite go to lunch places for Mexican food. Tasty chips bar with 2 different types of chips and salsa. You order at the counter and they bring to you. I enjoy the cheese enchilada, rice, beans, chips and drink for under $10. Also like the cheese crisp and other freshly made items.
The food was really good. I ordered something to go and they had it out for me really fast as well.
Food is always good. The chips could use improvement. The La Canasta on 7th Ave has great chips.
EXCELLENT SERVICE! Go here all the time and get my food within minutes. Never late back to work. Food here is absolutely terrific. Highly recommend, best hidden secret in town.
