" Everything was excellent! I love the energy of this place - it’s so lively! The fish tacos tasted fantastic, and my friend raved about the guacamole. The staff was genuinely friendly and brought us suggestions which were on point. Will definitely go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you are looking for great Mexican food, look no further than Canasta Kitchen! I am Mexican and I can attest that their dishes are not only delicious but also authentic. Try the quesabirria – it's a full meal packed with flavor, served with a side of consomé. The service was quick, and the atmosphere is vibrant, enhancing the dining experience. Definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visiting Canasta Kitchen and I was underwhelmed. While I can see the potential here, my burrito was overly stuffed with rice and lacked flavor overall. I’ve had better elsewhere. Service was decent, but not exceptional. I may give it another shot for their tacos next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Canasta Kitchen on a Taco Tuesday and was thrilled with the $2 tacos! Each taco was loaded with flavor and the staff were super friendly. There was plenty of seating, and the space felt welcoming. I enjoyed my time here and will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Canasta Kitchen is a decent option if you want to grab Mexican food quickly, but I wouldn’t call it a destination restaurant. The food was good but not remarkable. I wasn't impressed by portion sizes for the price. The staff was nice but a bit slow on the service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Canasta Kitchen has been my go-to for a while now, especially for takeout. Their burritos are loaded, and I appreciate the gluten-free options available! I can customize my order, and they've always been accommodating for my allergies. The service on the phone and in-person has been great! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'd say the ambiance is nice, but the food did not impress much. My tacos were bland and the rice tasteless. Considering the amount I spent, I expected a lot more flavor and excitement in my meal. Service was alright but forgettable. Probably won't return. " (*Curated Review*)
