I went but the food wasn’t all the great unfortunately I used to really like this place.I decided to give them another shot since they were the only thing open other than Carl’s Jr.after an 8 hour shift super hungry since I have not had time to eat. 3 workers were all on lunch break and they said they could not help me. Very disappointed. I don’t understand how 3 peopleWorking at a 24 hour fast food place decide to take lunch at the same time and send customers away. Never again! This happened on 3/10/24 around 10:20pm

I frequent this place because it's great quick Mexican food with a large menu. Only reason I don't give 5 stars is cuz if you go at night all the workers go on break at the same time and they will tell you "oh we're on break if you wanna wait 30 minutes" I'm all for employee rights, but maybe stagger breaks so that you're still able to serve your customers.

Where do I start?…..The menu, I really like that they have a handout menu available. Down side of it… when I placed my Roll Tacos for “$6.60” as shown on the handout menu. It turned out to be $7.60. ( He gots the Biden Prices which was a bummer for a minute I thought Castañedas was a nice guy for keeping his prices low but never mind). But it’s okay it was just a dollar. Hmm The quality of the food was alight not a lot of flavor on the beef but it’s cool The Roll Tacos were made with so much love, that I did appreciated. And the workers here were super friendly and alive.

Drea is a top notch employee! She welcomed us and helped us make informed selections regarding the menu!

For "fast food" this is such a nice option I wish I had where I live. They have a drive-thru which is why I went. I ordered a chili relleno burrito that was amazing. It didn't taste like a fast food order at all. It took a while waiting in the drive-thru but that's because they were making it fresh.

We grab a bite before heading to the CV Firebirds game. Came to Castaneda's ordered the rolled taco supreme, 4 beef tacos, #11 fish tacos rice/beans, kids meal. It took longer than expected to receive our food. The rolled tacos looked good. However, if you look closely, the lettuce is browning, and it is all lettuce. Absolutely no flavor in the guacamole, meat, & salsa. I am very disappointed in the quality of the food at this location.

12/20/2033 Last night, at around midnight I got out of my late shift from work super hungry. I stopped by Castañeda's craving a torta de asada. I ordered by drive through, the service was ok I didn't experience any delays. However, when I got home to eat my delicious torta, this is was I saw!!!! Are you kidding me!? They literally burned the bread and still served it to me like that. Unfortunately, I didn't check my food before leaving. How do you grab these buns off the grill and say, "ready to serve!" I don't know who was working that Night Shift but they could've cooked me a whole new bread Ruined my night

Great food, their tacos are whole-size tortillas. Or you can choose mini tacos. The al pastor is really well-seasoned. It's open 24 hours, so very convenient. Will be going back. They sell coffee too.

Great California burrito!!! Ask for quac and crema.....yum! They asada fries are humongous, delicious and keep you coming back. They have many salsas, try them all. I'm all about the salsa and love that they have so many choices. This is a taco shop, not fancy, but the food is great!

I go in this specific store often with my 86 yr old client. The second she walks in, they already know that she asks for her meat chopped finely because she cant chew much. They are on it, I love them!
