Reviews for Castañeda Mexican Food in San Diego, CA
I love this place. Fantastic food & great prices. They outdid themselves today, best bean tostada I've had in a while.
I’ve never had an issue here, unlike some of the other reviewers (not to imply their concerns aren’t valid). I also really... like their Chula Vista location off of Broadway. Castaneda’s is great because it’s a low-grease Mexican spot that tastesfresh consistently. I love the California burrito and the achiote chicken burrito too. Their salsa is really awesome as well,especially the burnt one. I’ll be a customer for the foreseeable future! Read more
Been going to this place numerous times and tonight 8/22/22, my son's Cali Burrito had 3 toothpicks in his burrito. Thankful he... didn't swallow them. Will no longer be giving them my business. Recommend everyone go elsewhere if they're concerned about notswallowing a foreign object. Read more
THEY CHARGE YOU TO USE A CREDIT CARD. I used to come here 3 or 4 days a week since I work right down the street. After seeing... my c.c. statement and having a recent receipt in hand. They was a 3 and half percent difference in price. I use my c.c for thepoints. It's fine if the owner wants to be a cheap business man but make sure you have a sign up in your business stating thatyou're cheap and the service charge will be passed on to your customers. Very sneaky of you. The amount of money you saved,costed you a loyal customer. So use cash only or be ready to have a 3.5 percent increase in price. On the bright side theFood is good but the quantity is getting smaller and the price is going up. Read more
Hey man, for a 24-hour Mexican joint, this place is pretty tight. Huge portion for the plate and the salsas were pretty... delicious. I’d give this place 5 stars for the customer service alone. Hector was the best fast-food employee I think I’veever seen. Literally took out each salsa from the self-service fridge for me, helped me navigate the menu, and generally justclearly cared about his job. The guy’s one in a million, and was the reason I left a review. Read more
Great tasting, freshly prepared food using fresh ingredients! Everything was hot and delicious! The fish taco was crunchy on the... outside, flaky and juicy on the inside and didn't get soggy. There was enough filling for two tacos! The rolled tacos stayedcrunchy, even in the middle. The burrito was really big and yummy! The service was very fast! The nice young man who took ourorder was super patient and friendly!! There's a small outdoor eating area. When coming from the east, the entrance to thedrive through is on Mercury Street, via the parking lot of another building. There's a very small, free parking lot. This isgoing to be my go- to place to eat in the Kearny Mesa area! Read more
I've had one fish taco. It had one whole piece of fried batter without fish. I've also had a California burrito without... guacamole (it's made with milk). Red salsa is pretty much ground tomatoes. Read more
The customer service is beyond grade A quality, they always greet you with a smile, energetic and helpful. The food is fresh... and made well, every single time. And the agua frecas are always on point too!!! It's hard for me to stay away because of theseoutstanding qualities. My wife and I eat here just about every other day, she has to force me to cook so we don't eatCASTENADAS! Lol! Oh yeah the place is clean all the time...never dirty like other places and they ALWAYS have good TV shows on.Thanks to the owner and everyone that works there, we appreciate your unmatched level of service and unparalleled food options.
