La Canasta

The burritos of chorizo and huevo are delicious. And caldo de res.....love it. Homemade corn tortillas.

I've been coming here for about 10 years and I Still Love it. The food & the lady's are so nice & good!. I definetly recomend it to every one😁

Been going to this restaurant for over 15 years love the food here. The only problem is they do take long most of the time but it is worth the wait.

The food is great! The lady's are awesome the place not so nice.

They have great food. Tacos de carnitas are the best with everything on them.

Local classic Mexican food. Amazing homemade torillas made fresh on the spot. Carnitas are awesome!

Been coming here for 30 years and has became part of my families tradition for Christmas dinner for the past 20 years!! Tamales and Carnitas are among East Los Angeles best !!!!

The food was so good. The drinks were also amazing. Would definitely recommend..DELICOUS!! ♥️

AMAZING! I have been coming here since 2010! Its great food and everything is amazing. I really like this.

Delicious food and the ladies that work there are awesome! The fresh tortillas were delicious and the Chilli Relleno was amazing!

Real home cooking when it comes to Mexican food. Dont forget to try home made corn tortillas and fresh carnitas.

This is a humble secret hideaway for great Michoacán style Mexican food! The exceptional cooking skills of Michoacán cuisine was a key factor in Mexico’s status as a World Patrimony cuisine! Only Mexico and France have this honor! Surprisingly few people realize this! The prices are very good and the quality is homemade style! The hand made tortillas are soft and tasty, so much I almost cried! Service is like you’d expect if you were visiting family! The man and woman that were there really love their job and their guests! I had pork ribs in green sauce which were superb! The rice and beans were exceptional! Gauge a good Mexican restaurant by its rice and beans folks! Simple sides yes but key in the flavor profile! Their burritos are phenomenal! Street parking and meter parking!

Great place to order catering for large parties at a great price. $75 will feed almost 30 people. The tortillas are amazing!! SUPPORT local businesses.

Carne asadaTostadas were amazing. Abondigas muy bueno. Full family. Happy family...definitely coming back. Don't let the appearance fool you. The food is AMAZING!!

First off, if you like nice fancy places, this is not the place for you. The place is clean the people are nice, they're carnitas are some of the best I've ever had. Handmade tortillas, and the rice and beans were good.

This restaurant appears to be run by some senior citizens. In other words, someone's abuelita is preparing the food. We ordered chiles rellenos, tacos dorados, and chilaquiles rojos. All three plates were delicious. Limited street parking on Whittier but there's parking in the rear. I'm glad Yelp turned me on to this place. Oh! Their handmade corn tortillas were nice and thick. Held the chile rellenos well. Thanks, fellow Yelpers!

Best place to get authentic Mexican meals, wonderful prices and the best staff ever such lovely ladies. Definitely try this place if possible, take time to look at the menu. Great family friendly, only down side it's a bit hot lol FRESH HAND MADE TORTILLAS with every order the best best best tasting food.

This is my favorite place to eat very economical there's nothing like a home cooked meal delicious

It was a surprisingly good experience we ordered the flautas plate and it was delicious.

Burrito delicious carnitas is the best. not expensive and very delicious homestyle Mexican food like my mom makes.

I Love the cordial greeting they give you. And how they hire older people and they all look very nice and pleasant. The food and coffee are so good. It's like your grandmother cooked your meal. Very original Mexican food. I Love it

Very impressed by the food and service!

If you are looking for a true "mom and pop" gem with authentic flavors, this is the place. We live in Ontario and we will gladly make the drive to East LA just to eat here—it is that good. You can tell the staff takes immense pride in everything they prepare. The food is incredibly delicious and tastes like a home-cooked meal. Their fresh, handmade tortillas are the real deal, and you can’t go wrong with the carnitas, chile verde, or the rice and beans. If you’re a fan of menudo, theirs is some of the best you’ll find. It’s rare to find a spot that stays this consistent and authentic. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in the area (or even if you aren't)!

First time at this place. I bought Menudo and it was awesome. I will be going back for more. Helpful hint, if you take your own pot they will fill it up for you. It comes out cheaper to buy Menudo with your pot, rather than ordering individual plates. Menudo is only served Sat. And Sun.

I've tried several things from here. What I recommend and love is their carnitas and refried beans.

A homey, unsanitized, way less than pretentious, family operation. The folks here treated this gabacho very nicely. In Mexican restaurants I usually go for the carnitas. I did here as usual and was not disappointed. However the hand/home made tortillas and guacamole were the best I've ever had.

The food is honestly hella good.. but it is a hole in the wall which is awsome...only thing is the waitstaff..

The food is delicious👌.. only problem is you need to go with lots of time

Old-school Mexican restaurant with awesome Guisados and handmade tortillas place kinda need some upgrades. Everything kind of looks old, but food is great. Parking it’s hard to find in the front. They have a parking in the back, but it’s kind of a hassle to park in the back. The ladies working there are nice and the food is fresh as well as the handmade tortillas. Try the Chicharron. It’s great. I will be back when I am in the area.

As a true test of good mexican meal are the beans and rice. Both were delicious. Sope was delicious as we're the chicharon. The chile for chips was exceptionally good.

The food here is good decent I would say but the only problem with this place is that the wait time is a bit high if you order a couple things it may take 25 to 30 minutes to be ready.But besides the wait the food is pretty good.

Good place to have a Mexican breakfast. Like som chilaquiles. Chicharron or carnitas!!

Ia a little place on the road but the tacos are good. They have beans, chicharron and papa with it’s own vegetables.

The food is good ,service terrible they take so long to take the order and 15-to 20 bring the food I will take my business some place else.

They have a special 1lb of carnitas rice, beans, salsa and hand made tortillas for like. 14-15 bucks... My take on this..... The food could be great but it has no salt.. I guess is OK for the diabetes people... Not a bad though...

Was ok. Got a carne asada burrito. Not that good. Meat was not fresh. Was overcooked and was hard to chew. It had been sitting out for a while I guess. Service wasnt that great either. One lady too busy waiting on tables and other too busy on phone.

Food is good but the lady that works there always has an attitude and if she doesn't like u she is going to mess up ur food n tamper with it also the owner is very friendly but she covers up for her co workers not only that but they tax even if you are paying with EBT I wouldn't recommend confronting the co worker there she has a lot of hate in her heart n its sad when other raza behaves that way with there same raice 😔

Ive there a few times and i always end up getting hair and flies in my plate and the women who work there give horrible customer service with attitude

Small portions, dry day old food, nothing seemed fresh. Place needs to be very deep cleaned and it also needs a facelift, very old furniture.

Tamales weren't even half way good, edible but almost zero flavor. You m8ght as well eat plain masa.

Nothing special, we had lunch indoor, but the food wasn't the best, sorry
