I love Canastas and order takeout from here all the time. Everything is always delicious, super fresh, and generously portioned. Usually enough for 2 meals! I can vouch for the peruvian chicken, cilantro chicken, and lomo saltado. Just tried the canastas salad and that was fantastic too!

We stopped in for the 1st time today since we were running errands in the area. We were not disappointed. Chicken was grilled perfectly and definitely had meat on the bones. Rice and beans were tasty and I loved the fried yuca - which was generous. Actually the whole plate had generous portions. I liked that we could order via a kiosk and then they brought it to the table. i don’t think they have fountain drinks - we got canned sodas. Definitely would eat here again.

The 3 stars for the service portion of this review isn't a knock on them because being a fairly new restaurant, they were trying hard. The food here, imo was better than any place that sells Peruvian food, and I have several notches under my belt to compare! Absolutely delicious!! The chicken and vegetables were very flavorful, and the salad dressing was better than just about.. everyone else's! I hope they don't fall off, I've taken friends and coworkers here for lunch, and they all share the same sentiments.

Food was good. It was sad that what they advertise on the screen when you ordered, it’s not the same of what you get. Food was very tasty and it was a lot. Great place to buy food and share with other people. Tortillas are not corn, those are regular flour tortillas. Music was good and servers provided an amazing customer service. I’ll definitely come back!

I was just about ready to walk into a Thai restaurant when I glanced across the parking lot and saw a sign for Canastas Peruvian Chicken. I ordered a half chicken with black beans and yucca fries. I topped this meal off with a slice of Tres Leches Cake and a bottle Jarritos Mango soda. Everything I ordered was amazing! I also overheard another customer rave about how good the food was as he happily shared that it was so addicting he ate here for 4 days in a row! When you come by, ask for Victor. He and his crew were awesome!

This restaurant is easily one of my favorites around the area. Their staff is very friendly and quick to get you taken care of. Their food is also very delicious, I have tried a different dish almost every time I've gone in and have loved every dish. I recommend this restaurant to my family, friends, and coworkers all the time.

What a delicious lunch! The chicken was perfect and generously portioned, the vegetables were fresh and prepared with care, and the sauces were very tasty. Best Peruvian restaurant around and I have tried them all. Also served beautifully by friendly staff! Picture is the half I did not eat (yet!)

I'm Ecuadorian and this reminds me of the "pollos a la brasa" from back home. As a result, I've now come here twice (including with family). Nails the flavor, tenderness, and portions. It's also around the corner from Poppy Salon, so a good husband hack if you need to wait. The chicken is tasty here and prices are reasonable. Other options in the area have become somewhat overpriced (or perhaps shrinkflated?), so it's good that these guys pair flavor with value and friendly service. I would also try out some of the Peruvian dishes on the menu.

Excited that this place finally opened! The food was pretty good. The chicken was well seasoned and cooked. The rice was good, but the potatoes were a bit cold. The sauce they have is excellent. The green is spicy and the other one tastes like curry a bit. The owner was working when we got there. I think they’re still figuring out their workflow, where to order and where to pay. They’ll sort it out, so have a bit of grace. All in all, solid and I’ll definitely be working it into my lunch routine.

I've been wanting to stop for quite some time and tonight was finally the night. I chose the Pollo Ever with the green rice and beans and the house salad. Everything was delicious and smelled amazing on the ride home. I picked up a container of the Alfajores to share with some of my employees. They may not make it to work. Everyone was eager to help and the inside of the restaurant was very clean and fresh. Very affordable for the portion size as well.

My husband had a burger and it was SO good! Perfect and simple yet full of flavor, just the way a burger should be. I had Lomo Soltado- steak and rice. A little on the salty side but without being overdone. Both were cooked to perfection!

This is the 2nd time I’ve been here, both times the food was very good. Finally, a reasonably priced good food restaurant. Today, I had the casacada salad, 5 large shrimp and a whole lot of chicken topping of a healthy sized green salad. I mixed the salad dressing and their green sauce, wow that was delicious! Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Great Peruvian food- chicken was delicious and they have great options for sides! Yuca, fried rice, green beans and the traditional potato dish (papas a la huancaína) were delicious!

Omg, this chicken is phenomenal. The family meal was actually enough to really feed a family. The service was fabulous. Very clean and roomy dinning room.
