Best WLM Reviews
Castanedas is a mom and pops business that prepares and serves great quality Mexican food. Today, I tried their fish burrito and added fries. It was awesome and delicious. I highly recommend this place if you are in City Heights and are craving Burritos or tacos. They also have Mexican dishes that look delicious. Enjoy!
Was craving Mexican food, saw this place had 5 stars, and have to agree! Really delicious, and it was quick and super hot. Ordered rolled tacos, chicken and mushroom quesadilla, and horchata. The horchata was super delicious, had strong vanilla notes and was very creamy. The chicken in the quesadilla was flavored really well and overall really tasty. The rolled tacos were clearly made in house, perfect crunch and flavor. If you play Pokemon Go there are also 4 pokestops you can spin from this place. Friendly staff too, really clean inside. Will come again!
First time eating here and my first ever review, walking distance from where I live. Had a grilled chicken and San Felipe fries and it was amazing. I would make this my go-to Mexican stop for my cheat meal.
Food is absolutely bland with no seasoning. The guacamole is watery and flavorless. THEY USE NO SEASONING or they're so cheap they don't use enough. Every layer of ANY dish on their menu is flavorless. I simply can't get past a Mexican restaurant having bland flavorless food. I've tried 3 different dishes and they ALL were bland and flavorless. Guacamole so watery it sogs up the bread of the Torta before I even get home. Colimas can teach them a thing or two. They aught to be ashamed of themselves cooking that flavorless bland food.
food came out good and nice family owned business
The shredded beef and chicken tacos are pretty good! The red salsa is also quite tasty. The indoor seating is limited, but that’s just the nature of some University Ave storefronts. I’ve always liked the Castanedas in Chula Vista, and this is a good satellite. Recommend the hard-shell tacos!
I saw this new spot in the area so decided to give it a try. Came here on a Monday night and got the half order of Carne Asada fries. Carne is decent.. it was well seasoned and not dry like most other places. Nothing spectacular about these Carne Asada fries, though. Cheddar cheese, crema, and guacamole.
Two stars because the fries were undercooked and a little soggy. I was the only person in the restaurant so there was no excuse. The hot sauce is delicious though and they weren’t stingy with it at all.
Considering the portion size and soggy fries, $10 wasn’t worth it and overpriced compared to other places. Going to go here again to give it another shot, though. Two stars for now.
Amazing family run mexican spot. Food was made with LOVE, you can tell. The salsas were amazing, they were kind-spirited. I'm very happy I chose this place.
