Very tasty Mexican food in an out of the way location!

Although located in an odd area just south of the downtown area on 7th Avenue, La Canasta serves good food. I dined here with my family before a Diamondbacks game. I had the tamale and enchilada combination and it included rice, beans and an extremely large flour tortilla for under $10. The green corn tamale was tasty as was the cheese enchilada. Although I didn’t really have room for the tortilla, I tore off a few pieces because it was extremely tasty mixed with rice, beans and cheese. The rest of the family enjoyed their dishes as well. The waiter replenished our chips and salsa without us having to ask and kept our water glasses and ice tea filled too.

Dishes I tried:

Tamale and enchilada combo

Good value and good food for the price. Green corn tamale was moist and flavorful and cheese enchilada was not greasy as some can be. The inclusion of an extremely large flour tortilla seems unnecessary with the combo that includes rice and refried beans but was extremely tasty and difficult for me to waste!
