" What a gem! The burritos here are massive and packed full of fresh ingredients. I adore the various salsa options available too. I came in late one night, and I was pleasantly surprised; the staff was still friendly despite the hour! This is my new favorite spot for Mexican takeout. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Castañeda's was mixed. While I enjoyed the California burrito, my overall impression was marred by a couple of issues. There was a piece of toothpick in my food—definitely not what I expected. The service was friendly, but the cleanliness could have been better; I saw several flies buzzing around. I appreciate their late hours, but I'd like to see improvements before I come back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a disappointing experience today. My carne asada burrito was poorly wrapped and fell apart. The quality seemed off this time around. I’ve had better. Service was quick and friendly, but I left feeling underwhelmed. Hope they can bounce back, as I’ve had good meals here in the past. " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible place! The tacos here are absolutely delicious, and the generous portions leave you feeling satisfied. I always look forward to trying different salsas, as they really elevate the meal. The atmosphere was laid back and easygoing, making it a pleasant stop no matter the time. Can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" My go-to culinary escape! Castañeda's never ceases to amaze with their flavorful tacos. I love the ambience—casual yet vibrant. Their chips with salsa are addictive! Despite the restaurant being busy, service is consistently fast. Huge portions make it a great value too. Definitely worth a stop if you’re nearby. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a mixed experience here. The rolled tacos I ordered were tasty, but I found them to be a little greasy. The prices are reasonable, though, considering the portion size. The service was prompt, and the restaurant offers free chips if you dine in, which is a nice touch. I might come back to try something else, hoping for better food next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not a fan of the atmosphere; it was a bit cramped. However, what they lack in interior space, they make up for with quality food. The carne asada fries had an excellent balance of flavors, and the prices were affordable for the quantity you receive. I ordered a quesadilla as well, which was well-cooked and cheesy. Staff were polite, and even though I didn’t stay long, I felt welcome. " (*Curated Review*)
