“ First time eating here and my first ever review, walking distance from where I live. Had a grilled chicken and San Felipe fries and it was amazing. I would make this my go-to Mexican stop for my cheat meal. ”
“ Was craving Mexican food, saw this place had 5 stars, and have to agree! Really delicious, and it was quick and super hot. Ordered rolled tacos, chicken and mushroom quesadilla, and horchata. The horchata was super delicious, had strong vanilla notes and was very creamy. The chicken in the quesadilla was flavored really well and overall really tasty. The rolled tacos were clearly made in house, perfect crunch and flavor. If you play Pokemon Go there are also 4 pokestops you can spin from this place. Friendly staff too, really clean inside. Will come again! ”
“ Excellent freshly prepared food by an extremely friendly staff. This place is awesome. We grabbed dinner for 6 for less than 100 bucks - everything was wonderful. I'll be back, love finding a family owned spot that does so much so well. ”

“ Castanedas is a mom and pops business that prepares and serves great quality Mexican food. Today, I tried their fish burrito and added fries. It was awesome and delicious. I highly recommend this place if you are in City Heights and are craving Burritos or tacos. They also have Mexican dishes that look delicious. Enjoy! ”
