El Canaston

El Canaston is tucked away at the side entrance of the food court in the mall and we didn’t have high expectations since it’s a mall food court restaurant. This place turned out to be such a pleasant surprise! The Turkish-Mexican fusion was so amazing! And the Turkish and Mexican employees were very sweet! We’re Latinos and weren’t sure how the food would taste but my goodness we were blown away. My Mexican wife (El Paso native) took a mental trip back to her hometown as she bit into the Chicharron Burrito. I was skeptical so I tried it and sure enough, it was bomb! I had the Huarache with Tinga (chicken) and was quite content. It was my first time having Nopal and now I will forever compare this experience with any other. My wife, who’s eaten it plenty of times before, also said it was really good. We recommend both plates! The desserts perfectly completed the Turkish-Mexican cuisine fusion experience! If y’all are looking are looking for great food and awesome employees, check this place out!

Love this Place! You can tell they love to cook. So helpful choosing from the big selection of Mexican Plates! There quesadilla comes on freshly made tortillas. The Caldo de Pollo tastes freshly made! The Huarache was really good. Now you can’t go to El Canaston without trying one of there amazing Deserts!!😍😍 New Options appear weekly! There’s the traditional Mexican Chocoflan, 3 Leches cakes but it doesn’t end there…. They also have Bakalava. Yeah you read right Bakalava. ❤️❤️❤️ They also have a variety of flavors of Turkish Delight! So many things to eat. It’s so hard to just pick one. Totally recommend this restaurant for there great service and delicious food options.

My mom and I came to the restaurant for lunch and were surprised by how delicious the pambazos were! They taste authentic and came warm with salsa on the side which was so good too. We also ordered 2 tacos de canasta and again, were delighted by how well they were made. The owners are so kind and to find out it was a family owned restaurant was even more pleasing. They really know how to cook! Can’t wait to come back for more.

I have been so far visited El Canaston four times with all my family. I will go many more times whenever i have an opportunity to eat excellent authentic Mexican food, and Turkish delights they offer there. Hand made tortillas are specially mentionable. Each person who works there has a very positive attitude, smily face and excellent customer service. Highly recommended!

I stopped by to have lunch with a friend at El Canaston. I had a quesadilla with chicken. The tortilla was homemade. It was very delicious. There were different salsa options red and green. Both of the salsas were very tasty. I also enjoyed my homemade fresh horchata juice. I will definitely come back to eat. I had a pleasant experience at El Canaston! Cozy, cute place with a warm welcoming ambiance!
