Castañeda's Mexican Food

We got their famous carne asada french fries. They are a little expensive but the portion size is large and is good for two people. It's totally worth it.

I had the California Burrito and I found it to be very good! If I could do it over I’d ask for more green salsa to go with it - but I use a fair amount of salsa usually. I also ordered chips and salsa and the chips were thick, warm, and tasty but the salsa is actually pico de gallo which was odd. A heads-up that “chips and salsa” is actually “chips and pico de gallo” would have been nice. The ambiance was a little one that could benefit from some freshening up but also fits with the gritty vibe of the town. I would definitely return here.

I went to order two chicken enchiladas, and was asked by the man at the register if I wanted to make it a combo with rice and beans, and I agreed to the upgrade. He did not tell me that the enchilada combo is actually only cheese, and no meat. I waited there for a ridiculously long time even though nobody else was coming into the restaurant, only to find out that I paid $10 more for enchiladas with no meat and a small side of rice and beans. This establishment is a complete and total joke. If you want Mexican food, you'll have to go to Yucca Valley or 29 Palms.

This is more of a fast food type restaurant. There is no wait staff. The food is served in plastic to go boxes. Self serve soda fountain is turned off on the customer side of the counter. I ordered super rolled tacos. My husband ordered #18. Both orders had a shredded meat in them that had no seasoning. We both used salsa on our orders. I ate one of the five rolled tacos. My husband had one bite. Neither of us liked the rolled tacos. His food was not good either. The only thing with a mild flavor was his Chile Rellanos. We did not eat the rest of our food. It was acwaste of $30. So disappointing

I don't do this. I literally HATE doing this but I have to on this one. Sorry, but it was that bad and people need to know about this. Unless you're John J. Rambo, who can eat things that will make a billy goat puke, don't eat here. For the last 15 years, I've given this place a chance and regretted it every time. I ate here 5 years ago and swore I would never eat here again. Last night, we decided to give them a try again. We ordered 2 orders of nachos and a california burrito....$52 and I had to pay extra for the jalapeños. The jalapeños....they practically pulled it off the vine and literally rough chopped it up, including the butt of the jalapeño. Who puts raw jalapeños on nachos??? Pickled jalapeños...pickled ones go on nachos. Everyone knows this. I was up 3 times last nig
