Waited in line ordered food. Young lady couldn’t speak English? Said come to window, asked if the burritos were wet, like we ordered. Her answer? I don’t speak English. How do you work at a drive up window and not speak English?

Friendly staff, very good food. And it’s open 24/7 too! The menu has breakfast, lunch, and dinner selection! The store is very clean and stocked with condiments. They have an A rating from the health inspection.

They not only got my order wrong (again) but when I called to inform them about it no one picked up the phone the first 3 times and then the guy who eventually answered went from speaking English to not speaking English once he realized I was calling for a mistake and not to place an order. I’m a nurse, work full time, had a super long week, and this was the cherry on top thanks Casteñedas. Literally never ordering here ever again worst location by far.

Every time I come here they say thier grill is broken early mornings. Why lie you should the your customers the truth, that you’re cleaning your grill and give the in between times your “Grill’s Not Working” . I live in Rancho Mirage so you’re closer but since it’s been such an inconvenience and twice this has happened actually 3 times, And do add your drive-through road is so small it’s hard even back out. I’m just gonna go straight to the one down here on cook location.

Forgot an item I paid for. Gave me a lot of guac/sour cream when I asked for none. I live 30 minutes away and got this after I got off work so going back after getting home wasn’t an option.

We thought the 3.9 rating was way low for this place. We had a beef burrito which was stuffed with lean tender beef chunks and not a lot of filler like rice and beans. The floors were still wet from being mopped, restroom was clean, and service quite quick. Fast food type atmosphere, but very delicious burrito. Hubby and I split and had plenty.

Excellent food. Much better than the one with the chihuahua mascot! Their food is more authentic Mexican food, with all plates including rice and beans. Traditional. I got the fish tacos and a Chimichanga to go and they were both great! The chimichanga was nice and large with sour cream and all the good stuff in it.
