“We were camping nearby and it was pouring, so we wandered out to find something to eat. Saw it as we drove by, and we love Mexican food, so thought we'd try it out.It was a little odd, when we went to the counter to order our food, we had to wait until someone noticed us standing there waiting. Once we ordered, the food came out quickly and it was delicious. I had a shrimp burrito that was phenomenal. My son had ground beef tacos, and my husband had enchiladas. We also shared nachos, and it was all great. Big portions, we couldn't finish it all. They did tell us the food would be served in takeout containers. Kind of awkward to eat with more than a few people at the table, but I see why they do it. No one asking for boxes to take the huge portions home in, and no dishes.We ran into the same problem when we went to pay. Had to stand there and wait to be noticed. This could be solved simply with a bell or something.We are fairly local (about an hour away) and I would drive that distance to eat here again.“
“Super efficient is what I have to say about this one. I have been here a few times since moving here and the service and the food are amazing. I go in, order at the kiosk, within about 5 minutes I have food. I am also now hooked on their breakfast which I wasn't at first because I only had it once before now, and they start lunch at 10:30, but continue breakfast until 11 allowing me to get a Breakfast Crunchwrap and a Burrito usually made at lunch. I usually only go here once a month, but I will continue to frequent this place when I run my errands.“
“Just wanted to update my review. I hate giving negative reviews.This place has gotten a lot better over the past year.---------My family of five loves Chipotle. It's the one thing we can all agree on. Three weeks ago we were only able to eat about half our large order. Today we all had to throw it out. Rice rock hard, ingredients old and portions a fraction of the average amount. Such a shame.“
“As this was my first visit, I was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance of the restaurant. We were seated quickly and promptly greeted by our server. She-Kathy- explained several entrees, brought our drinks and graciously took our orders. Our meals were outstanding. The manager stopped by briefly and we chatted. I truly enjoyed our time there. I will return, thank you so much.“
“Absolutely amazing tacos - as evidenced by the fact I have forgotten to photograph them twice in a row. I got lengua, salty beef, chorizo ?Love the salsas as well - delicious flavor and warming heat. MUST get with cilantro and onionThe place is small and reminds me of so many shops I used to go to in NOLA. Nostalgia ?“

Asian sesame slaw, a crunchy chorus that adds texture and zing.Here we are, savoring every bite of this rice bowl masterpiece. Because good food? It’s our ultimate treasure, my friend! ?Bon appétit, fellow flavor explorer! ?✨“
“Very nice restaurant. Nice stuff that mean great food. I tried the fried ice cream served at Castenadas. I thought it wasn't going to be my favorite but I was actually surprised, and really liked it.Kid-friendliness: Castaneda's has a kid-friendly menu.“
“The tacos were average. The meats were not flavorful or memorable, which was disappointing. The salsas were powerful and flavorful. The tortilla chips were goodThe menu isn't the most easily understandable. Apparently there are multiple kinds of carnitas, but there is no indication of that.This would have been a 2 or 3 star review if I didn't get the churro ice cream. Absolutely ridiculous how good that was. Please buy this.“
“I love this place. I don't know what the other reviews are talking about. They were very friendly. The girl bought my order out within 2 minutes. They also gave me a couple while I was waiting. The food was made properly and fresh. The store was clean and had some cute little decorations up for St. Patrick's Day. I think people are just having one bad day or judging too harsh Everyone I saw had a smile“
“My husband ordered takeout for us and our 16 month to eat for lunch and it was delicious! Simple street tacos, chips and salsa. My daughter gobbled up the quesadilla which makes us happy! Mexican doesn’t need to be complicated and do it right!“
