Reviews for La Canasta in Union City, NJ
We used to go to this restaurant alot before and after the pandemic. We went today and the service was the worst I have ever... experienced. We were practically telling the waiters to get us utensils and to take our order. The waiter was hurrying us up. Ifelt like she didn't want to attend us.. It was just uncomfortable place. The waiters before were always smiling and friendlier.I am sorry to say but my family and I will stop going to this place. No more family gatherings or recommending their food.Ridiculous and rude how the Peruvian owner disrespected my mom! We didn't want to leave tip because that's how bad the servicewas!!! I was shocked after years of going there with family. I don't recommend this place. If you want real Peruvian food go toLA Chata in a great place by Woodland Park. That's good service and real authentic Peruvian food! Read more
It was disgusting!! DO NOT GO THERE! We ordered a chaufa rice and a ceviche and when we were eating a live cockroach came out of... the plate, we immediately called the waitress to take the food and bring us the bill. Surprisingly they only dropped 5 dollars.In addition, the prices are too high for the quality of the food and the service. Don't waste your money and your time! Read more
Delicious but made us run to the bathroom after .
When I first Went the Dinner Meal offered was offered at a Certain price and the Portions were worth the Charge. But this time... when I went, I was charged quite a larger amount and the Portions were less then Impressive. Maybe it was the Time of Day orthe day of the Week. I will have to give them another Try before making a Final Decision on whether or not it is Worth it tocontinue spending my Funds at a Place that is More concerned with speed & making Money then providing the Customers with aPleasant experience that will compel them to return and spread the word about one of the Few places that Still Cook the Foodwith Love.

Best Food and better service. Enjoy the best seafood in union city, Family environment.
Food was okay..Not the main thing to worry about. After we pay, they charged 15% TAXES! never heard..union city is 6% and then... they said their stores are usually in NY (it's not ny plus NY is 8%) trick is that the store is cash only so there's no evidenceand the checks are with bad handwritten (so you can't see taxes %)waiter paper. They're not even real checks! Dirty trick withno evidence! Read more
