Let's be real, the bathroom (at least the Men's) is disgusting and needs a good cleaning if not an overhaul! The self proclaimed inventor of the Carne Asada French Fries is never a disappointment when it comes to this menu item. It's huge, and covered in all things great when it comes to Mexican Food. I've never eaten there, but it's fantastic to go and even better if you visit their Salsa Bar on the way out.
Our local Castanedas closed so had to try this one on our drive back from Vegas. Service here was excellent and while they have tourist pricing here, it wasn't that bad. As for the food, I preferred the taquitos at my old place. Tasted a little like frozen store bought than fresh. Ok, just not what I recall. The nacho though were excellent and as remembered. Chips were fresh, toppings on point and meat seasoned well. We asked for the chips to be separate because of the drive and didn't want soggy nachos and they packed it perfectly for us. Chipotle salsa was a stand out but I also like the watery red sauce which is more nostalgic for me and pairs well with the nachos. Bathrooms could have used a fresh cleaning, but I blame the patrons more than the restaurant. It's not much to ask for people to aim better, sitting or standing. Argh! We will stop by again, especially if there is traffic on the drive back home.
By the time we got here, this was about the only place in town to eat. Fortunately, for night-driving motorists it is open 24 hours a day, I am game for Mexican food most every day, so a Combination #1 meal with a well-loaded Hard-Shell Shredded Beef Taco and a salad-like Tostada accompanied by Refried Beans and Mexican Rice filled the late-dinner bill nicely once good Guacamole was added. Numerous salsas were available to sample or apply. Diane's Shrimp Quesadilla was uneven (some parts had thick cheesy areas and others were more bare), but the added shrimp were okay. Salsa dispensers were missing except for lids, but once I mentioned this, the plastic bodies were quickly replenished. French Fries were crispy, and there were a lot of them. Service was friendly and helpful. Seating was comfortable enough.
Everything was going good until my daughter received the wrong order, then waited over 20min for it. They are a bit understaffed, working the front and drive thru window. The food was tasty, but I don't see myself coming back. For this to be right off the freeway and conveniently across from the Tesla Superchargers they really need to get it together. We paid over 50.00 and at this point for the time wasted we could have went to Taco Bell.
Carne asada fries were just ok. Not the best I've had, but appreciate they use real potatoes which makes it special. The toppings and salsa are just ok.
Great quick stop while charging. We were the only ones there at first, so our food came out fast, which was perfect. I ordered the steak breakfast burrito with a jamaica, and my husband got the machaca breakfast plate with a pina. My burrito was really good, packed with meat, eggs, and potatoes. Super filling. My husband was happy with his plate too. The sauce bar was a nice bonus, and the location is super convenient, especially being close to the chargers. Service was friendly. It looked like one younger guy was handling orders and serving while a woman in the back was cooking everything up, and they kept things running smoothly. People started trickling in after us, so clearly it is a popular spot. Solid food, quick service, and a convenient stop.
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
Had the carne asada chips a whole ago and came back for more. Yumm! Got me eating carne asasa chips qll the time since.
First time to try this place. Driving from Vegas to home and we decided to give it a try! We ordered beef taquitos. You can either get guac or sour cream. They were very fresh and hot. They gave us red and green salsas. They were good. Husband ordered fries. They were good and fresh. They cook to order, so everything was fresh and hot. The workers were very happy to serve. Didn't eat inside. I would recommend this place.

Castaneda's Mexican Food is a hidden gem for authentic Mexican cuisine. Nestled next to a super-fast Tesla charger station, it's incredibly convenient to grab a delicious taco or two on the go. They even have a drive-through option! Their BIRRIA is a must-try. It's incredibly tender and bursting with flavor. You can order it as a taco or as a mini quesadilla called a mulita. Trust me, both are equally delicious! They also offer a variety of fresh salsas and refreshing Mexican juices, including HORCHATA. These are all made with the freshest ingredients, ensuring a delightful dining experience. read more

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 :) read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more
