From Boyle Heights to the Fairfax District @canters_deli has been serving up authentic Deli Style food since 1931. After all these years I finally had a chance to experience the iconic Deli and their amazing food. Loved the atmosphere and the company. A great way to spend time in this part of Los Angeles.

Have been coming here since I was in my early 20’s but since moving away from the area have been craving it. I happened to be in the area and decided to stop and satisfy my craving. Got the 2 pastrami sandwich one for me and one for the Mrs who has never been here. I also got a brisket sandwich with the Cole slaw and potato salad and don’t forget the pickles. Just as I remembered them. All their bakery items sandwiches were delicious and the Mrs enjoyed it so much she ate hers and ate the other half of mine the next day. Definitely give them a try if in the area. Place is nice and staff friendly.

Very authentic place and a must visit place to eat in a deli in LA. The Pastrami Reuben is one of the best Pastramis I had, I’d say same level as the one at Katz Deli in NYC. This one had Sauerkraut and was a bit different but very delicious though. I’d recommend having the Pastrami or the more traditional food here rather the American breakfast with Pancakes which were a disappointment for my daughter. The service is great. Dana was very friendly and explained the menu and ingredients patiently.

Amazingly flavorful pastrami sandwiches without the grease. Exceptional cherry pie. I had the pastrami sandwiches without and absolutely loved it. It’s about $20. Not too big. The pickles are homemade but not my favorite. The coleslaw is pretty good. Not as drippy and sweet as others. They have four types of mustard! I love mustard! The cherry pie here is a dream come true. They have a complete bakery! So many choices! If you love the diner feel and aesthetic this is your spot. It’s open late too! Canters is a unique place with tons of things going on. The table next to us was interesting. One of the diners had a bondage harness on. Not a dull moment. The ceiling is trippy. This place is an eyeful! As much as I loved Canter’s I didn’t like their music. Classic rock this night….meh. Our server was on point and sweet! They have a parking lot!
