Flavorful tacos but small portions and I do wish they fully prepped them instead of separating with the bag of lettuce, peppers, onions etc. I got the chicarron and pollo at the farmers market. The website price (thru the QR) showed $2.25/taco but then they rang me up for $3 each. Not the biggest deal but a little misleading? The plate came with 3 sauces (mild, med, hot). I did enjoy they hot. The tacos were tasty - could have used a bit more protein in each. Good friendly service, definitely fast casual. And budget friendly. read more

La Salsa Tacos de Canasta - Chicarron and chicken - Tacos Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I was excited to try them because it's not so common to find tacos de canasta. I tried them at the uptown farmers market. I got chicharrón and potato. I honestly don't know which one was which. I thought they were okay but they're very small and thin for the price. There's not a lot of filling in it which may be true for all tacos de canasta. In any case I would have to eat maybe 10 of these to feel satisfied. I tried all 3 salsas, tomato, jalapeño and chile de arbol. The jalapeño was mild spicy and the chile the arbol had more heat to it. Both tasty. Overall tacos were okay but not sure the value is there given the price and portion size. read more

Well we came out to try this spot out . Order was a made super easy this past Sunday came from north of the valley Norterra area .

We had the mole , beans , potatoes ... all good our favorite is the mole .. plus the owner came out and presented himself to me which I thought that was super awesome and you rarely see that happen .

I always love getting tacos de canasta (tacos from a basket) whenever I visit Mexico. Fantastic to find these in Phoenix. In my experience, they are more of a breakfast food in Mexico, but are good anytime if the day. La Salsa Tacos de Canasta makes a good version of these and has all the fixings to go along with them. read more

Una experiencia que dejó mucho que desear (tacos al vapor / de canasta) Como alguien que ha tenido la fortuna de viajar por gran parte de México y probar tacos al vapor (también conocidos como tacos de canasta) en lugares como la Ciudad de México, el Valle de México, Puebla, Veracruz, Tepic y Tijuana, llegué a "La Salsa" con altas expectativas. Amigos de Sonora me recomendaron este lugar con entusiasmo, asegurándome que aquí encontraría el sabor auténtico y bien logrado de esos tacos tradicionales que tanto apreciamos los mexicanos. Lamentablemente, mi experiencia no cumplió ni de cerca con lo prometido. Pedí tacos de varios guisos: chicharrón, chicharrón con papa, pollo, frijoles y papa. El único taco que tuvo una calidad aceptable fue el de frijoles: sencillo, pero decente. El resto fue decepcionante. Las carnes parecían haber sido procesadas o trituradas de tal manera que más bien parecían papillas. La textura era poco apetecible y visualmente desagradable, casi como si el relleno hubiese sido premasticado. No hubo distinción clara entre los sabores; todo sabía igual. Para quienes conocemos los guisos tradicionales de tacos de canasta, esto fue una gran desilusión. Los acompañamientos también dejaron mucho que desear: una cantidad excesiva de repollo, apenas unos pocos trocitos de cebolla curtida, una raja de jalapeño y un par de rodajas de zanahoria curtida. Nada que evocara la experiencia completa y sabrosa que uno espera al pedir este tipo de tacos. Vi videos en redes sociales donde parecía que los tacos se preparaban con cariño y al estilo tradicional. Esto, sumado a la recomendación, me motivó a manejar más de 20 minutos para ir a probarlos. Desafortunadamente, lo que encontré no fue ni cercano a lo que se ve en video o lo que uno espera cuando busca sabores que nos conectan con nuestra tierra. No escribo esto con la intención de ofender, sino como una crítica constructiva desde el punto de vista de alguien que ha probado los originales y sabe lo que estos tacos pueden ofrecer cuando se hacen bien. Comprendo que los productos locales pueden variar y que quizá están apuntando a un público diferente, tal vez menos familiarizado con estos sabores. Pero para los que venimos de México y hemos crecido con esta comida, la expectativa es otra. No pienso regresar, y sinceramente, no recomendaría este lugar a personas que realmente conocen y valoran los tacos de canasta del centro del país. Espero que tomen esta opinión como una oportunidad para mejorar, porque la idea es buena, pero la ejecución está muy lejos de hacerle justicia a esta joya de la gastronomía mexicana. An Experience That Left Much to Be Desired (Steamed Tacos / Tacos de Canasta) As someone who's had the fortune of traveling throughout much of Mexico and tasting steamed tacos (also known as tacos de canasta) in places like Mexico City, the Valley of Mexico, Puebla, Veracruz, Tepic, and Tijuana, I came to La Salsa with high expectations. Friends from Sonora had enthusiastically recommended the place, assuring me I would find the authentic, well-crafted flavor of those traditional tacos that we Mexicans hold dear. Unfortunately, my experience did not come close to what was promised. I ordered a variety of fillings: chicharrón, chicharrón with potato, chicken, beans, and plain potato. The only taco that was passable was the bean taco--simple, but decent. The rest were disappointing. The meats seemed to have been processed or ground to the point where the fillings resembled purees. The texture was unappetizing and visually unappealing, almost as if the contents had been pre-chewed. There was no clear distinction in flavor between one taco and another. For those of us familiar with traditional taco fillings, this was a major letdown. The toppings were also underwhelming: an excessive amount of cabbage, just a few small pieces of pickled onion, a slice of jalapeño, and a couple of pickled carrot rounds. Nothing about it evoked the full and flavorful experience one expects when ordering this type of taco. I had seen videos on social media where the tacos appeared to be made with care and in traditional style. That, along with the recommendation, motivated me to drive over 20 minutes to try them. Sadly, what I found was far from what I saw in the videos or from what one expects when looking for flavors that connect us to our roots. I don't write this to offend anyone, but rather as constructive criticism from someone who has tasted the originals and knows what these tacos can truly offer when done right. I understand that ingredients and supplies may vary by region, and that perhaps they are targeting a different audience--maybe people less familiar with these flavors. But for those of us from Mexico who grew up with this food, our expectations are different. I don't plan on returning, and honestly, I wouldn't recommend this place to people who genuinely know and appreciate tacos de canasta from central Mexico. I do hope t read more

I was so excited to try the tacos de canasta since there's not many places that sell them here in Phoenix. I called in an order and also got an agua de horchata. They were honestly the most disgusting chicharon tacos de canasta I've ever had. They press the chicharon so it becomes like a creamy potato like texture. The chili they use for the tortillas is also not the most tasteful chili. The horchata was so weird cause it had like a wasabi spice to it. I will never purchase from them again. I fell bad cause the guy was super nice and even gave me an extra taco being the only taco I ate. I threw everything away. read more

The pictures of these tacos looked promising. My husband and I came to try them. We ordered two chorizo papa tacos, two chicken tacos and two chicharron tacos. Upon receiving the tacos we couldn't tell which tacos were chorizo and which were pork. All the meat is minced and served in a paste like form. The flavors all tasted the same. And they were covered in grease. It was similar to a jack in the box taco but with a soft greasy shell. The salsas were good. But we didn't finish our order of tacos. read more

Food was delicious! Ordered 3 tacos and they added another one for me! I will definitely order again

I have to say, the tacos are amazing!!!!!!! One little hiccup, though, I ordered chicharrón, papa con chorizo, frijoles and pollo en mole AND I couldn't figure out which were the chicharron. I did not taste chicharrón on any of the tocas, but it could have been a mistake on the order. The place is CLEAN, people are friendly and helpful and the tacos are the BOMB!!! I miss my chicharron, though. I HIGHLY eecommend and will, definitely return for more read more
