" Incredible vegan options! I am not vegan but decided to try some of Canasta's specialties and was blown away. Their vegan birria was particularly delicious! The service was quick and friendly, and the space feels vibrant. Highly recommend for anyone looking for tasty options. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful experience dining at Canasta Kitchen. The enchiladas were delightful and very authentic. I also tried their horchata, which was refreshing and not overly sweet. The only downside was that it took a bit longer than expected for our food to arrive, but it was worth the wait. Highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've recommended Canasta Kitchen to so many people because, overall, they’re doing well! The flavors are great, the prices are fair, and the service is wonderful. I do think they could work on their consistency in food quality, but I'd visit again any day! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a very mixed experience at Canasta Kitchen. The food was tasty, but the portions felt smaller than expected for the price. The staff was friendly, but my order took longer than promised. I still recommend trying their unique margaritas. " (*Curated Review*)

" Canasta Kitchen is a fun spot, but I had a mixed experience. While the food tasted good, I wish they had more authentic options. The chips were stale, which was disappointing, but the staff tried their best. They were very attentive. I might give them another chance based on their taco selections. " (*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*)
