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.

Worst experience I’ve ever had eating at a restaurant. We waited almost an hour for our food with no party waiting in-front of us. They served 2 larger parties with almost the same exact orders as us before us when they came in after us. We understand a mistake on placing the order cards in the wrong spot but at least a sorry would be nice. We expressed our feelings asking why the other parties who showed up after us were served before and the lady in the photo was very rude and stated “at least your food came out” very loudly in the restraint, no sorry or acknowledgement. She even spoke in Spanish to the other workers asking why they messed up thinking we would not understand. Will never be returning and if you what a positive experience neither should you.

Satisfactory, at best. Although my visit to this Castañeda’s was more than a year ago, I can recall having a decent lunch meal from here. It’s not flashy inside, it feels like you’re transported to a Mexican fast food restaurant from the 90’s with the way the dining area setup and menu boards. I settled for what they call the “Super Roll Tacos,” which are taquitos loaded with an assortment of toppings and salsa, along with an horchata. The service was relatively quick, the food was at a desirable temperature, and the drink was refreshing.

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.

Hubby’s flight came in after 10pm and I needed to feed that man!! Thankfully, I found this 24 hour Mexican restaurant and the food was delicious!!!

Worst Mexican Food place I've ever tried! Over priced disgusting food! The carne asada fries were soggy and oily. The hard shell beef tacos were dripping a lot of oil as I bit into them. And the "Street tacos" were a disappointment. I would not recommend this place at all!!

This restaurant is one of the few that are open 24 hours. Very wide selection of Mexican food when you have the munchies at 3AM. My favorite so far is the Carne Asada Burrito which I highly recommend the first time you go there. There is also a great selection of salsa from which to pick from. Finally, they are very fast at making your order.

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.
