" I had a decent experience at Tacos De Canasta. I think they could streamline the ordering process to make it more efficient, as it felt a bit chaotic when I walked in. The tacos themselves were good—had a nice crunch from the fresh tortilla, but I wouldn't say they stood out too much. I'd consider giving it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are in Los Angeles, do NOT skip Tacos de Canasta LA SALSA! I've never tasted such an authentic taco de canasta in the U.S. It reminded me of my childhood visits to Mexico. The flavors were amazing, especially the pollo en mole, which was rich and flavorful. I visited during the weekend, and yes, there was a long line, but it was well worth the wait. The only downside was that the seating is limited, and it was a bit crowded, but it just added to the charm of the place. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't understand the rave about this place. The tacos I ordered were bland and overly oily. I tried pollo en mole and frijoles, but they tasted nearly identical, lacking the flavors that I expected from authentic tacos. The service was just okay; it seemed that they were more interested in getting people in and out than providing a pleasant experience. I wouldn't recommend this place based on my experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" First visit and I was pleasantly surprised! The tacos de canasta were fresh, authentic, and downright delicious! My favorites were the potato and beans; they offered a good balance of flavors. I went during the evening, and the vibe was relaxed. I did find the restroom cleanliness could be improved, but overall, the food made up for that. I would definitely recommend them to friends and would return myself without hesitation. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Tacos De Canasta LA SALSA was alright, but I expected more based on the hype. I wanted to love the tacos, but they were a bit too oily for my preference. On the positive side, the customer service was pleasant, and I was able to get my tacos quickly. The atmosphere seemed very laid-back but could use some tidying up. It’s worth checking out, but just keep expectations in check. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not the best experience at Tacos De Canasta, I must say. The tacos were rather oily and bland, which was surprising given all the positive reviews. It feels like they're riding the coattails of good word of mouth. The atmosphere was okay; I felt the staff could be a little more attentive. I won't be rushing back here anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" The tacos here have a lot of hype, and I wanted to see for myself. They were tasty, no doubt about it, but I wouldn't call them mind-blowing. I tried the tacos de chicharron and papas, which were good but a bit greasy. I feel like they could improve on seasoning as well. The staff was nice but seemed overwhelmed, just like the tables — it was hard to find a spot to sit. Would I return? Maybe, just to try something else on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)
