Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Ate here for lunch today! BOMBERS!! I had the beef flautas and the meat was tender and oozing out the ends, the salsa was on point, my husband and I will definitely be returning!! It was clean when we walked in and the line moved quickly. Also I thought the food was reasonably priced. They give you a number and bring your food out to you. All the food I saw coming out the kitchen looked ahhmazing! Worth a visit!

So 8/27/15 I was looking for a burrito shop and googled such. Not paying attention to the time I arrive at La Casanta and Ricky the owner said he was closed. I asked if he could recommend another shop and offered to a make green chilli burrito for me. As he told me his family history and how the chain of restaurants came to be, I noticed other ingredients I asked for a burrito of such he made me 2 more burritos from his secret reserves. Even hooked up some chips and salsa. Ricky.... amazing burritos and salsa! My brother and friend and I enjoyed them well! Trust me guy we'll be back with more peeps in tow. Thank you for going the extra mile to make the burritos and welcoming me into your kitchen. Definitely worth a try!!

The first time we went, we called in the order and pick up was smooth. The nachos were great. Many of us at work tried to call in some orders again in the past couple weeks and the phone just rings and no voice mail or answers. We called before the lunch rush but between 6 people and several attempts, we gave up.

I love La Canasta. It is one of my favorites when I want to leave the office for lunch. I do miss the lower prices and the original crew from the University location. I post this review because I put in a phone order today and when I got there it seemed as if my order wasn't even submitted.
(3)Chris Z.
Mostly meat covered with lots of shredded lettuce and bagged, preshredded, cheese. Where is the love? Hot Sauce is pretty good.

The worst huevos rancheros I've ever tried to eat. Two diners near me sent their lunches back, both for being cold.I just ate a little of the rice and beans and walked out. No salsa, generic hot sauce in a squeeze bottle, a dollar if you want some chips with it. I was tempted but for the fly under the saran wrap of the next bowl in line. I've seen reviews in favor and one said it can go either way. I must have hit a bad day, too bad for me to return anytime soon.
(1)Mike M.
Was craving their salsa because it is one of the best. Lots of flavor and just the right heat. Their new location is great and easy to get to on 40th Street just south of University on the west side of 40th.

A very close friend of mine got me hooked to this place nearly 7 years ago, it is the best place for a GREAT mexican meal, whether it is breakfast or lunch during the work week. Their salsa is to die for and i have not found another place that can compare! Yummy!
(5)Ignazio C.
My co-workers and I go here EVERY Tuesday. The tacos are the best I have had by far. The chips and salsa are much better than most. The service is friendly and always very quick. They now know our orders as soon as we walk in. Great place for Taco Tuesday.
(5)Ron R.
My coworker and I started a Taco Tuesday at our work several months ago, in which we started going to a different place for tacos every Tuesday. After find La Canasta, we have stopped going to any other restaurant and have been regulars here since. We've even gotten our group to expand recently and now at least five or six of us go every Tuesday. I highly suggest the taco combo for any taco lover.

I just picked up a green chile burrito to eat and the office. Opened up the container and I received a red chile burrito. Not a big deal, I figured I would be fine until I bit into the first piece of meat which turned out to be fat. After cutting a little further it was a big chunk of rock hard meat. I don't ever throw food away but after two bites in the trash it went!

Not sure how long ago they moved but i went to the location on : 3202 South 40th Street, Phoenix, Arizona * Barg's Red Cream Soda on the fountaiun !!!! Awesome = 1 star * Machaca Chimi / Meat, excellent flavor well shredded with only one huge chunk,, = 1 star * Machaca Chimi Tortilla barely crisped on the outisde only, inside doughy from the meat = 0 star * Machaca Chimi toppings, had a Dusting of cheese :-( = 0 Star * Country Music in a mexican restaurant = -5 stars (minus 5) * order or sit down, not clear on a line process to order or go seat yourself not well orchestrated = 0 stars * CHIPS 1.50 ? Little tray of chips to munch while you wait, seriously 1.50 = 0 Star If I go back i will try something else, but probably for TAKE OUT, so i dont leave all miserable from the depressing ass country music. Conveinent, definitely not a place to go anywhere out of your way for. Price was reasonable

I've been going to this place for 5 years now, mostly because it's just down the street from my job and it's basically the only Mexican Food that's close enough. As said before by another reviewer, this place lacks consistency. Their food is a hit or miss. My co-workers and I always say, "Only order the burritos". And it's because their plates tend to be really expensive and they're really not all that good. It really seems that they try to save everything, and if it's not wrapped all together, then you are going to taste the refrigerator. Another bad thing about this spot, is that their pricing is always wrong on their menus. Literally! Because they are in an industrial area, I can guess that their main clientelle are the people working in the surrounding office buildings and construction sites. It is very hard to gather an office order when the people don't know how much their item really costs...
(2)Layne M.
Knocking a star off because of consistency, and I have concerns about their food. I ordered a meal during lunch hour when things should be fresh and got obviously old and refrigerator tasting rice, which really turned me off. Sometimes the food is great, sometimes it's old tasting, sometimes they get your order incorrect (more often than is acceptable). Another issue is, my work semi frequently orders large orders for the entire office. They actually gave me a hard time once about getting sauce, and I only wanted enough for each meal we had bought. I figured if you order $100 worth of food at lunch, they should probably eagerly give you a sauce or 2 for each meal you paid for... but they actually tried to charge me. We mentioned that we had just placed a huge order, can't you include what we would normally get? The guy reluctantly agreed. If they are this stingy I have concerns over what they are using in the kitchen. Currently undecided about whether I will return.

Went back the next day with some work-friends and we all had machaca, 2 of us had chimis with rice/beans, and 1 had a burro. Good chimi, lots of fresh guac on top. The machaca was pretty good, maybe just a little on the salty side. One of my friends suggested that it seemed it was cooked in chicken broth, but wasn't sure. We all agreed that we'd put La Canasta into our regular rotation for lunch. Service was excellent. And again, the place looks sort of plain and freaky from the outside, but inside it's super clean.

The quick and easy breakfast burrito (that I'm accustomed to getting at the old location) was anything but that yesterday morning when I went here to grab 4 burritos for co-workers and I. It should have been a sign telling me to leave when I walked in and a woman was upset because she called in her order 20 mins prior and when she arrived they had not started it yet even though she was told on the phone it would be 10-15 mins. Considering I was ordering for more than myself (didn't want to disappoint friends when they thought they were getting La Canasta and I showed up with a breakfast jack instead), I stayed. 25+mins later my order was called out and I asked if I could have hot sauce please. I was then told "they in there" so of course I looked and I found 2 small containers...for 4 burritos. I'm close with my co-workers but not that close that we need to share 2 hot sauces for 4 burritos. When I asked for me she told they charged for extra and then gave me two more (which I did not and would not have paid for). I would give this a 1 star, but nonetheless...the food is still decent.

Now that I have had two breakfast burrito's, I can honestly review this place again and say that the egg, bacon and potato burro's are quite good and reliable. The bacon is chopped into pieces and never fatty, there is no grease at all in any part of the burrito (usually on bottom), the eggs are well cooked and the red sauce (get two) really adds some gentle pop to the experience. The place blends into the industrial neighborhood, but there is one strange cardboard cutout in the parking lot consisting of a hot woman with a stroller which is bizzarre. Lots of other breakfast items here, but this burrito is in the rotation for breakfast every so often now. Not open on weekends..too bad because breakfast burrito's and AM football are a great combination.

Stopped in for lunch today to this, the smallest Mexican restaurant in the world except for Taco Bite! This La Canasta (of many, & much variation) seats just 17, at 3 tables plus 5 stools at a built-in counter. It struck me as clean inside, & was fairly busy during my 11 AM visit, partly with takeout orders. Ok Mexican pop music played, & the air temperature & lighting were about right. I ordered a #1 Lunch Special from one of the not-very-friendly staff members, which brought out a ground beef hard taco, a beef tamale, & a tostada. This food was ok but not great, & you have to be careful how you order here, or the prices are HIGH! That limits your lunch options a lot if you care anything about value, & rendered this place completely NOT SPECIAL. Ok, it's better than Taco Bite! :-O Taco, Tamale & Tostada Plate $5.99
(2)Mazen B.
Not the best ever. Way too hot inside. AC only in the front and seems nothing else in the back but the homemade salsa that comes in the ketchup bottle was the best ever. Orchata was to die for. Food was ok.
(3)Johnny S.
Eat and you will see 8 ) The Shoppe Tacos are the Bomb & you can only get here!!!! Mike will set you up...
(5)Kevin V.
This place is fantastic. I have tried a couple of things and they were all fantastic, but now I stick to getting a chimichanga filled with machaca because they have the best machaca I have ever had at a restaurant. The place itself is a small hole in the wall type of place, but maintains a clean and friendly experience. Luckily this place is down the street from where I work, so whenever I want Mexican food, this is the only place I consider.

While all the food here is awesome, the shrimp burrito is not to be missed. Tons of shrimp, made fresh. I have a hard time ordering anything else.
