A tiny, old gas station turned sandwich shop that sits right next to Pioneer Memorial Park & Cemetery is a hot-spot for near-by state gov workers and Capitol lurkers.

This place is so freaking good. I've only ever ordered one item and that's the veggie sub. Maybe sometime I'll try the cheese one but if it ain't broke... The mayo is the best I've ever had. I love their ice. Great ice. \n\nThe patio is misted. The decor is fun. Totally worth the drive if you're in a 7.5 mile range.

I really enjoy The Old Station! The subs are tasty and filling and reasonably priced, and I have not yet found one I don't like. The soups are excellent! My favorite is the home made tomato soup, but their clam chowder is awesome as well. A far cry better than the &^&* they serve in the DES cafeteria!

Following the La Canasta tradition, this location hits it out of the ballpark. The food is great, the prices are extremely similar to the other La Canasta locations and they have a chip/salsa bar!!! The flour chips are delicious; not greasy and very easy to consume too many if you aren't careful. My boyfriend and I tho...

I consider myself an expert in green chili chimis and La Canasta has a pretty good one. One the down side- they don't know how to give back correct change.

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!\n\nMy first visit to this place was today. I decided to go with a friend and grab some tacos in the drive-thru. I ordered 2 chicken tacos and asked for a little sour cream and guacamole on each one. With a soda my total came to $10.49!!! I asked why it was so expensive. They told me they had ...

There's a reason everyone calls this place La Canasty. Only saving grace is I can get a breakfast burrito at 6 am before I get to work. Other than that the meat is grade D, like boiled meat, and the tortillas are really thick and never toasted on grill. Place is dirty as hell and prices are too high.

I have eaten here for years and have never had a bad meal. In my opinion, they have the best red and green sauce around. I usually stick with the tacos, nana's favorite, the chili, and the beef and cheese burrito. yes, it is basic sonoran fare but it is better than most mexican joints i have been to in the valley.

Venue is clean, and has good amount of both indoor and outdoor seating. There is a drive through. Service is friendly. Food is good - pretty much on par with other similarly priced Mexican restaurants.

Mixed reviews aside, I am a fan of this longstanding Mexican restaurant near the Capitol.

I heard a lot of good things about this place but wasn't that impressed. The food is what my husband and I would call white people mexican food, not completely authentic and they aren't able to make anything spicy which is always a let down in any mexican place. I don't think I will be dining here again.
