I ordered a carnitas burro to go. If only there was as much carnitas as there was onion it would have been good. I couldn't taste the carnitas, the little as there was.514186 read more

Their slogan should be: Home of the Filler and a Pinch of Meat. They use a nice big tortilla to make you think you're getting a big burrito, but if you open it up you'll see that if you rip off 3/4 of the tortilla you now have a wrapped taco. Got a carne asada burrito with enough tortilla to make another whole burrito. Theres a very small amount of meat in the burrito just beans and toppings might as well have just ordered a bean burrito. For $15 a burrito this is a ripoff and you're better off taking your lunch money elsewhere. read more

Got my order wrong. I asked for red chili beef. They assumed hamburger beef. It was very oily it tasted freezer burnt. Not satisfied with the food. read more

Before I put Bf onto my favorite breakfast burrito spot, this was his! Bf's go to order is the Nana's breakfast special- green chili pork, beans, potatoes, and eggs, served with a warm tortilla (~$13). It's a nice option other than traditional breakfast burritos and just as savory and filling! Chips and salsa were also included! I'm not a fan of green chili pork but I must say it was tender and melted in my mouth! The potatoes were nicely sliced and eggs were cooked as ordered. I'm not a fan of beans. The beans were standard refried beans NOT cooked with lard that makes them taste good. Bf likes to make mini bites- get a little bit of everything on a fork, then get a little bit of tortilla and make a mini taco! It's a solid breakfast worth trying! read more

La Canasta Burrito Shoppe - Nana Breakfast Special - Mexican Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Flavors and quality of the breakfast burritos were 10/10. Brought my friends who know cuisine and they had rave reviews. Best breakfast burritos in the area, no question. read more

Food is ALWAYS COLD...cold beans and rice is really gross...seems like it just came out of the refrigerator

Don't even bother eating here I literally got a breakfast burrito with eggs,bacon, and potatoes. When I tell you I've never felt worse in my life my stomach is literally killing me. I almost passed out and was sweating like crazy. How do you mess up the easiest burrito make it make sense. read more

As much as I love the food here the service is inconsistent and the hours of operation are when they feel like it I guess cause 2/5 times I've came here before it's closed when the business hours say they are open. I thought the first time must have been an emergency. But again I'm sitting in the parking lot at 6:30 Am writing a review because this is the 3rd time. I get off at 6:15 am and would like a breakfast place to be open when im off. Guess for now I'll just call before coming. If they don't pick up I'll know to not waste my time. 2 stars for potential. read more

The nana special is just as special here at the original location! Food is amazing and quick, staff is friendly and always on point! Really enjoy hearing oldies every time I dine in read more

Best food ever! The service is spot on and amazing too. You must stop in and get their special hot sauce! It is SO GOOD!

I came face to face with Godzilla. I ran to the nearest La canastas. The man gave me a foot long soft taco. I slapped Godzilla. And turn him into a cute monkey. Best place ever. -true story read more

Came here for lunch a few days ago. My food order was incorrect but the customer service here was above and beyond. Upon ordering, they gave me a drink and chips on the house. I ordered thr Carne Asada soft taco plate and it was good except not what I was expecting. I was told it would have Pico but these had a bunch of lettuce. Not my favorite. The salsa is yummy too though! When I sat down, the guy working the cashier came to make sure everything was good. Never received service like that at a little taco shop. Thanks for that! read more

Burrito was good. They appeared confused when I didn't want beans and rice in my carne asada burrito. Group was accommodating, especially the cook, who happened to be sitting in the dining area and the gentleman cleaning the floors and tables. Nothing groundbreaking. Could use a salsa bar. read more

After you have had a fresh taco coming out of that kitchen, you will never eat a taco at Taco Bell again

I gauge a Mexican food place I haven't been to by a red chile beef burrito (my favorite) on my first visit. Today, I had La Canasta's. La Canasta is the kind of burrito joint you'd expect in an industrial area: Ready for the lunch crowd, quick, easy, available to go. It lived up to all of that. So did the Red Chile Beef burrito ($5.75). Medium spice to the stewed red sauce, tender cubes of beef (not shredded). I would do this again or recommend that the office gets burritos for lunch or breakfast sometime, which is what I'm going to try next, an egg & chorizo burrito! read more

One oF my favorite Mexican joints in phx. I left my jacket and went back the next day they kindly kept it fooR me. I didn't love my lunch and theey kIndly made me something I liked better. The fiod is authentic and made with love. Give them a try there is a reason they have been around for so long read more

Hands down my new favorite place to get breakfast burritos! Super nice staff would recommend to everyone I know! The owner makes it super convenient and fast. I text him my order and it's ready by the time I get there awesome place! read more

Haven't been here in years and use to love the chorizo and egg burritos. They don't taste the same anymore. Burrito was made awful and hardly no chorizo. Very disappointed coming back to this place. Should of stayed home and cooked. read more

They care about the quality of the food and it shows, way above average, reasonable prices and good atmosphere

Really good tacos and breakfast burritos! That's all I've had there but they are both so good I'm scared to try anything else. Salsa or hot sauce is really good and flavorful. Big fan will continue going there! read more

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. read more

Been a faithful costumer for a couple years as I always try to support small local businesses. My last trip there has made me decide not to go back I ordered a burrito with steak egg potatoes. I added bacon and pico to the burrito totaling around 12 bucks. The burrito just did not satisfy me I'm still hungry. There was minimal steak and bacon in the burrito. They also only give you two small cups of salsa for your burrito which only lasted half of my burrito and said they have to charge for more salsa. About a year ago a co worker went there for lunch. Asked the owner why he doesn't carry negro modelo dark beer. His response was "I don't make enough profit off those beers." read more

Very bad service, guy at register is rushing you from the start and is condescending in his answers about the menu.

We had to order in some food for a work training course, and the guy in charge of deciding chose this place. This place. Ew. 10 of us ordered a variety of different things, and when the food arrived, the first thing that put us all off was the fact that the bag it was delivered in was literally SOAKED with grease. There was a pool of grease in the bottom of the bag! Nasty. Half of the group had ordered burritos, but were largely unimpressed with how small they were (like 4-5 inches long, and 1.5 inches wide). I had ordered a chicken taco salad, and what I got was a fried tortilla bowl filled with 1:1 shredded iceberg lettuce & semi-wet red/brown chicken. The chicken looked a little off, as some of the pieces were literally red, and it looked uncooked in some parts. There was also a smattering of cold shredded cheddar cheese on top of this mess. I think there might have been a couple bits of chopped green onion, but they were few and far between. Overall, a sloppy, crappy, sad sight of a taco salad. Maybe the worst one I've ever had. Most of the guys in the group didn't like the food, and/or just threw it away and went to a sandwich shop down the street. I've never seen so many people be so completely disappointed with a free lunch (company paid for it). It was dismal. It's a disgrace that this restaurant calls itself a Mexican joint, because no. It's not. read more

Hands down one of the best quesadillas I've ever had, and the homemade horchata is to die for. Its not really noticeable from the street as a restaurant but when you get inside its a great atmosphere and the gentleman at the front is a great guy. If you get the chance to visit this mom and pop place, please do. read more

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 read more

The only reason why I am leaving two stars is because of the lady that said " I hope you have a great rest of your day sir " Gentleman ( looked like manager ) was texting while I was ordering my food. He didn't care for customer service at all. Food was eh. ( had better ) read more

This place was a big hit with my office! We placed a huge burrito order and they were able to accommodate on time and even cut all the burritos in half for us! Ricky really made it easy for us and helped us out! My office loved the burritos as well as the salsa! They said it was "Bomb"! Definitely going to be returning! read more

Waste of $23.84! I was recommended this place by a coworker, and I was excited to try it. I called and was put on hold for over 8 minutes. I hung up, dialed again and was greeting by a guy that was rushing my order and just sounded like he didn't want to be talking to me. I was trying to tell him I didn't want cheese on anything and had to tell him three times because of him rushing and not getting it correct. He was so awkward on the phone. Didn't tell me my wait time or my total. When I got my food, there was cheese on the chips AND guacamole. They fixed it and I went on my way. Finally able to eat my food and the beef in my tamales had lots of fat that looks goopy (imagine boogers! Gross right?) I ordered three and only had one and half. My stomach started hurting and I'm just hoping I won't get sick! I went to eat my chips and guacamole and there's a two inch blonde or white hair in my food! I didn't even move on to my side of beans. I was too afraid of what I'd find in there! What a waste. I'm still hungry too. Oh, let me add too that there was a pest control work order on the counter where you pick up your order. read more

I'm amending my review - great food, poor customer service. Today, I was attempting to order & was put on hold immediately (no asking to hold, just hold). I waited 3 minutes before deciding to drive to the store (.5 mi away). I waited in line as I watched her help person after person, ignoring phone orders. When I got to the counter, I pointed out that I'd been on hold so long, it was faster to come down in person. She then snarked "as you can see, we are very busy.. " (again, 3 people. They were not busy). I responded with "then I guess you no longer need my business". I attempted to call & speak to the store manager, but she refused to put them on, citing she was the manager (she wasn't). If you're in a lunch rush, skip this place. If you have time to kill & enjoy snarky counter clerks, by all means, enjoy! read more

This is an amazing hidden gem. Their Mexican food, especially in the mornings is fantastic. The people are friendly. The inside of the place is pretty casual. The chicken enchiladas and green corn tamales are the best. I wish they would get rid of their "Jesus loves you" uniform T-shirts. Other then that, this place is great. read more

Small portion size and bland food. Went twice, hoping second time would be better. It was not.

First timer...and last timer. $8.90 for a 5 and 1/2 inch Carne Asada burrito that contained mostly wilted lettuce. What little meat that was in there was ok...just could have used more. A bag of chips to go that were probably over five weeks old...stale and tasteless. For that kind of money, I could have gone to Del Taco and get more food! Seriously, please avoid this place. Ricky Abril...if you're reading this.....shut this place down. You're just stealing people's money for this low grade 'food'. I hope I don't get diarrhea...... read more
