" I visited Castañeda's after a long day of hiking, and I was eager for something hearty and satisfying. While the location is nothing fancy, the food was surprisingly good! I ordered the carne asada fries, and they were loaded with toppings, just how I like them. I'm usually picky about meat quality, but what I had was tender and juicy. The only downside was the wait time; it took a little longer than I expected. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointing experience. The food was bland, especially the salsa. The service was forgetful, and my request for no beans got ignored. The atmosphere feels run-down and needs some love. Won't be coming back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was not as good as I had hoped. The food tasted like it had been sitting for a long time. I received my order after a really long wait, which was disappointing. Maybe it was just that day, but I think they need to work on consistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" Castañeda's has become my go-to spot when I'm craving Mexican food. Their cheese enchiladas taste authentic, and the portions are generous for the price. Every time I'm there, I feel at home. Unfortunately, every now and then I notice some staff isn't attentive enough, but overall the positives outweigh the negatives! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! The breakfast burrito is a favorite, and the salsa bar is a delightful bonus. It’s a great spot for a quick and filling meal after outdoor activities. The drive-thru is convenient, and I always get a friendly welcome. I don't want to miss out on mentioning their fantastic horchata - it's the perfect complement to any meal here.

" Delicious food at great prices. I really enjoyed their bean burrito and chips with guacamole. Everything was fresh, which was a pleasant surprise! Staff were friendly too, making the experience even better. I’m happy I decided to try this place out. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about Castañeda's for years, I finally went, and it was just okay. The tacos were decent, but I expected more flavor. It felt quite rushed inside, and I couldn’t really enjoy my meal. Maybe it was just that day, but I don’t think I would go out of my way to return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)
