Took around 25 minutes to receive my order even when the restaurant was empty, the flavor of the food is good but the size of the tacos is mini, is a little bigger than my finger.....this is a taco that you eat in 1 bite , by the way the cost of this mix order is $8.80

The tacos had a good taste and portions inside the tacos was fair, the desebrada was delicious and the chicharrón prensado was good just missing a bit of salt. The salsa was great, it had a great taste to it. The decoration inside is lovely, the staff is super friendly. I feel like the price is just s bit high, but overall I would recommend.

I got there 1 hour before closing so the full menu was not available. The tacos were pretty small in my opinion. I also ordered a papa asada and I had to ask them to take it back because the cheese had a weird smell and taste. I really did enjoy the tacos though. The service was good. I'm not sure if I would go back.

Wow! I’m here and I already want to come back! These taquitos are delicious! They’re authentic, mildly seasoned and soft. Of course, this does remind me of the tacos of my childhood. The cabbage salad is delicately shredded to match the softness of the taquitos. There is a variety of items on the menu typically from central Mexico. On the other hand, the decoration of the place is well thought of, and the details are attractive. The oversized cups of freshly brewed coffee complement the experience. The service is prompt and friendly. We’re definitely recommending “Los de Canasta” while in Mission, in the Rio Grande Valley.
