Nice service, good food, estate to order and pick up. The gentleman I think cashier was really nice he took her order he made sure that we had everything we needed and before we left he made sure that we have lemons and salsa and the drink that I ordered. They did it all very very fast though because maybe from the time we came in the time we left less than 10 minutes to get our order from my wife my kids and I and also the opportunity to just what we were sitting down there that was really very quiet. It was a really nice place that cooks were very nice the people around her very nice and we enjoyed ourselves so when we come around that area again maybe we’ll stop by again and get a chance to eat a little bit. For those that ask questions about whether this is a handicap or they have things for children yes they have handicap everywhere for parking for going into the place and also they have a menu for children too I think a couple pictures of show the menu so you can take a look at it enjoy thank you.

This place is gonna be a heavy pass for me. Ordered two fish tacos, it literally felt as if i was eating dough on a tortilla. The dough was raw and still moist. I couldn’t finish it. The cabeza tacos was a rip off. Big tacos with mini tacos portion? Nah. I’d rather make the 15 min drive to my original spot. And this is the second time coming to this place, but decided to give it a second chance.

Now this is one of the most best Mexican restaurant I have been at everything we ordered was cooked thoroughly and the cooks were fantastic. I brought my wife my son and myself for a late dinner about 9 ish at night. And I was totally awesome and would recommend this restaurant to anyone. The service was fantastic, after you ordered they bring the food to you. Places for a respectful when it comes to their way of placement of recyclables. The place is very clean. Little pricey but it was worth the trip over here to eat. Thank you and come back again.

I’m surprised Castaneda’s is opened 24 hours. I went a few nights ago craving rolled tacos and I was surprised that they had an option of a smaller portion than other places. It was perfect for a late night stoner binge lol. Their green salsa is amazing, make sure you ask for more.

First visit: Customer service is unbelievable, and that is not in a good way. Cashier did not put in my order when I called in and when I arrived tried lying as to why. The chef stepped in trying to cover for the cashier and still wasn’t successful in making up a good story. I had to come back 2 hours later because I wasted my break to head there and head back to work.

This is my favorite of the Castaneda locations. The food always just feels clean and not-too-greasy. Also, the salsas are awesome, especially the red and the brown (burnt). Well-balanced Californias take the cake, but they have a number of other pretty good items as well, including achiote chicken, rolled tacos, and the vegetarian burrito.

Carne asada is good! Juicy and flavorful. Price is decent. Portions are big! We found the skin of an avocado in the burrito but besides that it was decent.

Quick and yummy adobo burrito I ever had. Everything I wanted was in the burrito and the cashier was a kind person I wish I knew their name but they always treat us with respect and kindness.

If you determine yourself as a taco shop you need to carry tripa tacos and be able to roast chiles for the lack of spiciness in salsa. Not authentic place per se, staff was rude as well.
