What Winkie likes about Canasta Kitchen:
I'm addicted to the Baja shrimp tacos. So flavorful and a good combination of cooked and fresh ingredients. If you don't eat shellfish, their Baja fish tacos are a good choice. We tried several of their birria offerings and all have been tasty. Empanadas are heavenly. This has become our first choice for Mexican food on the Island. View all feedback. What Sally McKinney doesn't like about Canasta Kitchen:
We ordered food worth $93 and I am a regular here. They literally gave us the three salsa in the pic below. They charged me extra two get some more salsa on the side!!! This is just foolish In response to the owner?s reply, I want to clarify to say that all I was requesting for was more salsa because there were only the 3 as displayed in the photo for the big order we placed. I did not ?touch? nor ?grab? at more sals... View all feedback.
