About Canasta

Canasta

We're a family-owned small business, dedicated to serving you delicious food. We have scrumptious mole chilaquiles, addicting queso fundido, & creamy flan.
IVAN TELLEZ
OWNER
“I grew up in the kitchen. My family owned restaurants and butcher shops. I spent more time in their restaurants and shops than I did outside riding my bike. I could barely see over the counters, but I knew then that food was my passion. Canasta is special to me for many reasons, but mainly because our special ingredient - just like our ancestors’ - is love. ”
— Ivan
“This is not a typical taco truck. We were tired of looking for a good place to eat - a place that would remind us of the traditional dishes, the real stuff - and we simply couldn’t find one that measured up. Now that we have a restaurant as well, we can bring you more recipes to taste and enjoy!”

Canasta is available for food truck catering!
