    Fantastic food. The chicken is great and the sides are all pretty decent fair. I particularly like the corazon even though I was sure I'd be repulsed. Service is relatively fast and you can ask them questions if you want to know more about what you might be ordering.

    Chicken (1/4)

    Wow! I stopped by Canastas instead of cooking dinner and they did not disappoint! When you walk in there's a full menu you with a plethora of options and you can see your side options through the serving bar. I went with the 1/4 chicken (dark meat) with green breads and fried rice. I also ordered an extra side of plantains (perfectly ripe and sweet!) The service was great and they were patient as I figured out what I wanted. Theres space to sit inside, and a patio to enjoy as well. I definitely see this place being part of my dinner rotation when I don't feel like cooking. Everything was flavorful and delicious. Oh and the sauces! How could I forget?! There a yellow sauce and a green sauce that complemented the chicken really well. I drizzled it of my veggies and rice too lol I'm excited to try something new next time

    Pork chops, red skin potatoes, plantains

    Soon as i open my car door i could smell some good flavors coming from the outside. I heard only good things about this restaurant. We took another shot once again to see if this restaurant will be as good as chicken fiesta. When I arrived inside, I was greeted immediately and placed my order. There was a 10 minute wait on the pork chops. As I waited for my food, more people came in. So that was a good sign to me. Once we arrived home and opened up the containers, the aroma from the chicken hit us in the face. The pork chops had that chargrill flavor we like and it was tender to eat. The chicken was not dry or tough. The sides are decent portions and are bursting with flavor as well. Hands down this will be my go to restaurant for that grill flavor I love so much. I will be trying the lamb chops and shrimp on my next visit.

    Canastas never disappoints wether it's doordash or in store. You have to try the chicken!!! So fresh, right out the oven, extremely well seasoned (beware of sodium) but overall it's so good & can make multiple different meals from the whole chicken.

    I love me some Peruvian Chicken! This charcoal rotisserie chicken ranks high on my list! The skin is nicely seasoned and the chicken is juicy and tender! I ordered the 1/2 chicken with cilantro rice with black beans and plantains for my sides, but the yucca was tempting! The garlic sauce was a perfect compliment to the chicken! It was all delish at $12. I also ordered a bottled tea, which brought my total to $16! Talk about sticker shock! Canastas has great food, a decent atmosphere with some outdoor seating, and ok service. I'll be sure to order water next time though! Come for the chicken, it's something to squawk about!

    Half chicken with cilantro rice and plantains
    Edna R.

    The food was EXCELLENT. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, the cilantro rice was fluffy and also flavorful and the plantains were perfect and a nice sweet touch. The meal was $15 and I was given extra sauce free of charge. The service was fast and friendly. I will be back soon!

    Chicken, cilantro rice, and plantains

    This food was absolutely delicious!!! The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because those potatoes were a little hard and tasted a little old... but honeyyyyyyy..... omg... that grilled pork chop was everything i didn't know i needed!!! Goodness!! I will be back... this week... lol!! That chicken was so tender the bone just slid right on out... and those plantains!!! Whew chileeeee delicious. But back to the pork chop. It is cooked to order. It is in whatever their marinade is that they have and when we cut into it, it was just so tender and juicy!! Oh!! I forgot about the steak quesadilla!!! Goodness that thing was so juicy and delicious. I can't wait until I have to go back to that side of town on Wednesday lol!! Because listen to me when I tell you, this place DID NOT DISAPPOINT AT ALL!! Another plus was that the bathroom was very clean and the employees were nice!!

    Salmon, cilantro rice & green beans
    Aurora H.

    This salmon!!!! Always hits!!!! Get the salmon, green rice & green beans!! Get extra green & yellow sauce! The passion fruit juice is great too!!! Their plantains are good too! I usually get my foos to go but the inside is very spacious. Service is always good.

    Pollo Ever - so yummy
    Jessica M.

    Always great food, cooked to order and fresh! Love how juicy any of the chicken dishes are and the staff is always so friendly.

    Saw this restaurant mentioned several times on social media and decided to check it out. The first visit I tried the chicken. It was very flavorful and tender. For my sides I got the green rice and plantains; the green rice is tasty - I taste cilantro and that takes it up a notch for me. The plantains were cooked perfectly and they give you a lot... enough for two. My second trip I decided on the lamb chops and I enjoyed that nice wood fire/charcoal taste. I couldn't help but get the green rice and plantains again. If you're thinking of trying one of the traditional drinks, I would suggest the Maracuya (passion fruit). The customer service was great and service was fast. The Southside location offers indoor seating if you prefer to dine in.

Everything is takeout but they have indoor seating if you can't wait. We drove a bit to the park to feast with beautiful weather. Their ordering is online or by kiosk which I loved and it looked like pickup was made super easy for other orders with this great locker set up. We ordered a side of fried okra, cinnamon sugar beignets, a bacon/egg/cheese on a regular biscuit, and an order of chicken tenders/tatertots/regular biscuit and boom boom sauce (a chicken box). A sweet tea was a must. The fried okra had flavor and depending on the veggie anatomy came with an interesting texture but it out right told me they knew how to fry. The biscuit was good and obviously home made (no Pillsbury can in sight). I loved that you could pick what kind of egg for your sandwich and the choice of tater tots vs fries for the chicken box. The sweet tea was on point. The biscuits could be biscuit-ier but you dont come for them solo. You come to have boring bread be replaced by them and awesome combos to fill. Better than popeyes, if that wasn't obvious. Minimal service necessary but what was provided was nice. Fast delivery and everything tasty. The only disappointment was the beignets-while I've never had Cafe Du Monde- I know what's to be expected. Their beignets were fried biscuit balls dusted with the sweet coating of your choice. I'd pass on those next time. A solid 4.5 with a guarantee second stop in mind to try other missing menu items. Definitely need in on some of those best dang boxes.

Ordered the Hot Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit, blueberry biscuit, and an apple fritter. I think I'll skip any donuts next time, but the blueberry biscuit was amazing. The chicken biscuit was adequate meaning I'd order it again but wouldn't go out of my way for it. The restaurant seems to be trying to minimize employee to customer interactions as there was no one there to take our order; you simply have to order at the kiosk. I noticed a lot of people ordered online and zipped right in to pick up their order. I'd recommend going that route if you're pressed for time. Bright and clean store. I wouldn't mind dining in if the mood suited me.

They have changed the bread on the big Skillet combo now it's a small roll they don't cut the chicken in half is half the size of usually be and I ordered a chicken leg so the batter still taste the same on the crunchy part but the chicken had no flavor taste totally different they have ruined Golden Skillet. The sandwich is so small now and it is $8.50 for a slider that's what it looks like to me. $2.25 for a chicken leg which came too you know how to count and you get a can of Pepsi. Taste totally different and my friend girl she didn't even eat all of her food and she ordered a two-piece and two sides big beans and macaroni salad, the sides was so small they don't put them in a cup when you eat in and they weren't baked beans they were a can of pork and beans. Jack roll people don't go there it ain't worth your money we only have a few left and they ruining it they are ruining it, no they have on it the bread does not make the sandwich anymore it was the bread for me and the chicken has no flavor inside like it used to have.

Vibes - our waitress was kind and quick but this restaurant isn't the place to come if you value aesthetics. Food - we were a bit disappointed but I think we were just under the wrong impression about what the food would be like. The sign outside says bbq, wings and beer so we were expecting a very different menu. This place seems to serve more Asian fusion. That said the wings had a really great texture that we enjoyed! There are A LOT of sauces to choose from and it's difficult to know what they'll taste like. We spent 30+ on 12 wings so definitely pricey. In the end, we left underwhelmed BUT it might have been our expectations that were off.

I really wanted to try the kimchi fried rice, but that comes in a pretty big serving and they didn't have that as a side option. So I ordered white rice. The waiter said he's gonna ask if I can get a side of kimchi because that's also not an option as a side order. It's a no go for a side of kimchi. They said it's a different kind of kimchi they use for the rice dishes. Oh well, maybe I can suggest that be an option in the future. Someone told me that this place was better than Bonchon so I'm gonna compare the two. It's definitely a friendly, family atmosphere. Plenty of options on the menu. Outside dining as well as inside. Appears to be very clean. Rice - mushy not how I like it. it has a hint of something it's not regular white rice. But it's also not Jasmine because I like Jasmine rice. Interesting. I definitely expected better rice. Not rice pudding. I didn't know the wings came with French fries but they were bland. Not even any salt. Chicken- they only gave me 2 flats and 6 little drumsticks. Ok, it's a little spicy which was also unexpected. I really don't care for them at all. The waiter was nice and checked on me a few times. I wasn't offered any ranch or blue cheese or any other kind of dip for that matter. I asked if they had buttermilk ranch, they did not, just regular ranch. No offering of wetnaps either. I had to pour some water on a napkin to wipe my hands. Since I said I'm comparing, I'm gonna have to give it to Bonchon for the better wings, the better taste of the soy garlic, and the rice. Sorry bb.q I'm disappointed.
