    Wanted to try something local & this place did not disappoint. As aforementioned before in a review, this place is a hidden gem. If you're from LA, the food here is similar to an Alberts! I got a carne asada fry burrito and it hit the spot. I appreciated how clean and spacious the restaurant is & the authenticity of the artwork/music. Food was made to order and came out in a timely manner. Would definitely come again!

    The Famous Carne Asada Fries
    Chad C.

    I had to check out the famous Carne Asada Fries myself--the name is pretty bold, so the hype demanded a taste test. The spot is super conveniently located right next to Tesla's new 325kW Superchargers, giving you plenty of time to grab a meal while your car tops off. Whether you're heading to Las Vegas or back toward the greater Los Angeles area, it's a perfect road-trip pit stop. For $18, you get a massive portion of fries loaded with carne asada, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, and cheese. It's easily enough for two (or more) meals for one person. Best enjoyed fresh and hot--the fries are nicely crispy, though the fryer oil could probably use a refresh. The toppings are generous and flavorful, making it a solid, indulgent plate. Definitely a new go-to stop on the road. Worth the detour if you're charging nearby!

    food comes out sooo fast!! service was exceptional and helpful! we got the pastor burrito (fire) and 5 taquito rolls (better with the verde salsa)

    Lengua street tacos and Cabeza quesadilla
    Jenn C.

    Stopped by Castaneda's Mexican Food in Baker during our trip to grab a quick bite while charging the car. We ordered the cabeza quesadilla, lengua street tacos, and al pastor street tacos. The standout by far was the cabeza quesadilla. It came generously filled with soft, juicy cabeza and perfectly melted cheese, and they served it with pico de gallo, shredded cabbage, guacamole, and sour cream on the side. The cabeza was rich, tender, and full of flavor. Highly recommend this and would 100% order it again if we're ever back. The lengua tacos were a bit of a letdown. The meat was noticeably drier and chewier compared to lengua we've had at other taco spots. The al pastor marinade leaned very salty--we found ourselves pretty thirsty afterward and kept drinking water for the rest of the drive. Ambiance-wise, it's a fast-food setup. You order and pay at the cashier, then they bring the food out to your table. Service was prompt and efficient. We got our food within about 5 minutes of ordering, which is great when you're on the go. Overall, an acceptable pit stop with quick service. However, we both preferred the overall dining experience at Los Dos Toritos by a mile (no pun intended!) due to the meats quality and their salsa bar.

    Chile Verde burrito
    Yonnie C.

    Randomly came by here while charging the vehicle. Decided to get some breakfast. Ordered: 1) Chile verde burrito with wet sauce , add $1.50 to make it wet which means cheese and green sauce on top - this was delicious! 2) carne asada burrito - kiddo only finished half 3) menudo soup - husband loved this and big portion 4) chilaquiles with 2 eggs - husband enjoyed this 5) french fries - a big plate for $3.50

    Perfect stop on your way to Vegas. Use the restroom, stretch your legs. Lots of food & drink options. The carne asada fries were large portions. Fish taco was also delicious. Staff super friendly. And service was very fast.

    My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place while on a late night drive to Las Vegas! Most things in Baker were closed when we got here (even the supposedly 24/7 Del Taco). We just happened to find this spot while debating where to go for gas. We got an order of carne asada fries, an horchata, and a piña drink. The drinks were a little on the sweet side but I still enjoyed it a lot! The carne asada fries did not disappoint either :-) The fries were still crispy and the cheese was melty. The best part to me was the even distribution of everything between the plate! I was able to get a bit of everything in a bite. I'm aware that this is a chain, but this was my first experience with it so I'm personally a big fan! I'd definitely stop by again :)

    Chicken taco
    Jason G.

    My daughter and I stopped at the Tesla Superchargers out front and decided to pop into Castaneda's for a quick bite--and I'm really glad we did. I ordered a Cherokee taco, a steak taco, and a side of rice, and everything hit the spot. The flavors were fresh, the portions were solid, and it was exactly the kind of satisfying meal you hope for on a road trip. Service was great too, friendly, fast, and welcoming. And for a busy highway stop, the bathrooms were impressively clean, which is always a huge plus when you're traveling. If you're charging your car or just passing through Baker, Castaneda's is absolutely worth the stop. I'd definitely come back.

    Ordered hot cheeto fries. They were pretty loaded. There is a drive thru and also Tesla superchargers close by. The staff was quick to take and make my order.

    Asada Fries
    Laura R.

    This was an unexpected stop on the way back home from Las Vegas. My son had the Asada Fries. They were delicious and authentic. We had rice with chips and salsa. The restaurant is small, great menu, very friendly and helpful staff. It is casual spot. Very convenient location. We'll definitely be back.

    It's all gone

    I was heading to Las Vegas, got hungry and found this place, the front man was helping me choose a plate and I told him I don't know if I can get the carnitas plate or the chile verde (pork) plate, he said to me I can make it special for you and give you one plate with half and half so you can try both, I immediately knew he was a honest and novel person, he brought the food to me and let me tell you guys, one of the best tasteful food I've ever tried, that's why so many good reviews, it is a delicacy, the place is clean, bathroom clean, nice music, well organized overall nice ambiance, I even forgot to take a picture of the plate but I'll show you what was left lol don't hesitate coming here.

    Awesome rolled tacos
    Wayne G.

    Awesome rolled beef tacos and salsa bar! Good value for 9.10 fed two of us! Super friendly service and open 24 x 7 next to new Gen 5 Tesla chargers!

    Asada quesadilla & chicken flautas
    Stephanie A.

    Ordered the chicken flautas & asada quesadilla with jack cheese. Flautas were really good, nice crunch. Quesadilla was really filled with a lot of meat but greasy from the cheese. The green salsa had good flavor & red salsa was spicy. Drive through service was friendly. It's hidden in the corner, there's a Tesla charging station next to it.

    I honestly did NOT expect this place to be this good…read more I had literally just finished a meal nearby and only stopped by because I needed to use the restroom. I saw the sign on the door and the little barrier setup, and somehow just ended up walking over to the ordering area. I had zero expectations -- I was basically ready to spend money just to use the bathroom. But wow... the food completely surprised me. The portions are super generous, and everything was packed with flavor. As a Chinese person who really loves Mexican food, I can honestly say this is one of the better Mexican meals I've had. Really hope more people come support this small business -- they deserve it.

    First time visiting while traveling with my family and stopping for a quick bite. I appreciated the…read moresign stating that restrooms are for customers only, especially since the Shell gas station across the street had public restrooms with a long line. However, the customer service was disappointing. While I was placing my order, the cashier stopped assisting me to help another customer with a receipt issue. I did not like this, as it was my turn and my order should have been completed first. He also began handing out other ready orders, which is understandable, but a simple "sorry, please wait" would have made a difference. There was also no greeting. I'm giving three stars mainly due to poor customer service. On a positive note, they did have utensils and a salsa bar, which was nice. We ordered a corn cup and a chicken taco. The food was decent, but the prices felt high--over $4 for one taco with less chicken, and over $5 for the corn cup, with very little cheese added.I don't mind paying since it's middle of highway BUT should've added More chicken and more cheese to the food.
