" Castañeda's has become my late-night stop for a quick Mexican fix. Their burritos are huge, but I find the flavor lacks a bit of punch. Still, it’s a decent spot for a fast meal. The atmosphere was a bit too bustling for my taste, but that's expected during rush hour. I’ll keep coming back if I crave a filling burrito at a decent price. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about Castañeda's from friends, I decided to stop by. The atmosphere had a bit of a fast food vibe, but the food was anything but ordinary. The carne asada burrito was packed with flavor, and the salsa bar offered unique choices that catered to all tastes. I appreciated the reasonable prices for the generous portions. I would recommend trying the potato tacos; they were delightful! Overall, a great place to satisfy late-night cravings. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at Castañeda's. The food was authentic and packed with flavor. I opted for a fish burrito, and it did not disappoint. Generous portion size for the price and the fish was very fresh. The atmosphere was a bit shabby, but the speed of service made up for that. I'll be back to try out other items on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had high expectations after hearing good reviews, but I was a tad disappointed. The carne asada was chewy, and the burrito felt heavy without much flavor. Service was friendly, though. I'd be open to giving this place another shot, as I still see potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" tried Castañeda's last night, and I must say, this place continues to impress me. I tried their tacos and was blown away by the flavors and quantity! Pairing them with the house-made salsas was definitely a highlight. While the restaurant atmosphere was nothing fancy, it had a welcoming feel that made my meal even better. I've already planned my next visit! " (*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*)
