"It’s no surprise that there’s usually a crowd inside South Philly’s La Canasta—sure, it’s small, but their great Mexican food (especially their tacos) draws big crowds. The tortillas are fluffy, and we suggest you get them wrapped around smoky short rib, spicy shrimp, or crispy chunks of tilapia, which are our three favorite tacos here. No matter which way you go, the flavors of the marinated meat are deep and spicy. If it gets too fiery, order a round of Jarritos, fresh-squeezed cucumber lemonade, or margarita mixers for the table to balance out the sizzle.   " - alison kessler, candis mclean
