La Canasta provided the delicious pan dulce and pan de muertos for the Department of History’s booth, which had a Dia de los Muertos theme, at GSU’s Celebrate Together on the Armstrong Campus. Students enjoyed sampling the wide variety of freshly baked goods. I don’t know of another place in the Savannah area that makes pan dulce of this quality [and affordable price].

Ambiance gives the impression you are at some rural areas in Latin America, which is not great depending on how you view it. Interior and the space are in disorganized and uncleanliness fashion. We thought to dine in, but change our minds and order out, as the view is not quite pleasant. The service is good for the time we wait. They even offered to give us some complimentary drinks, we had to wait for so long
We ordered some Tacos and the corn tortillas shell they made there are quite tasty. Tacos we’re served with onions, cilantro, drizzle of lime, and sweetbreads for protein. Cool.
We also got some Tostada Al pastor. Here tortillas are fried served with beans, cheese and sour cream, top with diced tomatoes and onions. Pretty good

We got the Carnitas, Al Pastor, and Barbacoa tacos and they were up there with the best street tacos we’ve had! The order (comes with 3 tacos for about $12) also was garnished with cucumber and radish and included a delicious hot salsa/sauce. Definitely glad we found it! Price is good, food was authentic and very flavorful, service was friendly and fast. (Photos show partially eaten order )

I’ve been eating at La Canasta for about 2 or 3 years now. It is always delicious and easily the best Mexican food around. Always friendly staff and the owner and his family are always there working hard to deliver the best and tastiest food around. I’ve had just about everything on the menu and I can honestly say don’t worry about what you pick because you’ll be back to finish out the menu!

What can I say … we ordered everything that was in the menu and I’m not exaggerating when I say it. We ordered all type of tacos, the Tostadas, quesabirrias, sopes, flautas even desserts and popsicles. Being honest I cannot complain about anything. Every single plate was extremely delicios and authentic Mexican food is really hard to find in the US. Plus the place was really cheap. You have to go or you will regret it. I really really recommend it.

I love this place. Let’s start from my favorite part…the pastries and cakes. One dollar for each piece, and they are big!!! They bake everything there. The ice creams are amazing, i suggest the coconut one.
Small place, but that doesn’t make it lose a . The service is excellent and the people friendly. You might meet someone who doesn’t speak perfect English, but that’s totally fine, you can still choose from pictures. And you cannot have the homemade experience if they were totally Americanized, so just open your mind and try something new.
Very cheap, great portions and even better taste.
