First time here. Have to write a good review. I ordered 2 orders of taquitos de papa and 1 torta de carne asada. This place did not disappoint at all. I love they have the "bar" to serve yourself with limes , salsas , etc . The place is very clean, friendly and delicious. I'm glad I found this spot. This will be my go to for a yummy meal. Muchas gracias !! You earned a happy customer. Thank you for the delicious food and your friendly service. I will be posting photos next time. I ate my food quickly because it was sooooo good read more

Went through the drive-through. It took a long time. The taco shells are stale, (like from the grocery store/premade) not freshly made. They didn't give us all of our food. When I called and asked them to refund me based on my receipt number and my card that I used, they said I would've had to go back to the store. I regret coming here. Do not recommend. read more

Obviously a love hate for this place. Their prices are out of control; $80+ for a family of four. Food tastes okay, not worth $80. Maybe $50-$60, not more. For the price I'll choose another spot. read more

Always great food! Been going there for quite a while. It's always a go to place for friends and relatives. The food is always amazing, it's always open, a very convenient drive through, an extensive selection for anyone, etc. They are open 24 hours a day and deliver great Mexican food. 10 stars read more

Delicious taquitos !!! Filled with shredded beef ! Lots of guacamole and cheese in top !!

Love their carne Asada fries. Please don't change anything about it but it would be great if the price was lower

12-23-2025, around 1 AM, found a piece of wire metal inside my B&C burrito. Almost ate/swallowed it. I will never eat here again! Be careful. read more

I just moved to menifee, from San Diego. Been looking for a taco shop close by. I bought the super roll tacos and they were really good and had a lot of beef. I'm pretty happy, will try other stuff on the menu. So far it passed the roll taco test. Loved that I was able to order on the drive through and they have Apple Pay. read more

Ordered carne asada fries at 3am and got food poisoning from here :/ Taste of food is definitely not worth the risk. read more

Where do I start? Disgusting awful I don't even know what was inside. This burrito I had. I couldn't identify the meat that was in it. Absolutely the worst burrito. I think I've ever had in my entire life. Oh my God I would never ever in 1 million years recommend this place my food was horrid. Tossed it in the trash. read more

Chicken soft tacos were okay but the tortillas were soaked in grease and not edible. The nachos had a spoon full of meat on top and cold cheese. I ate the meat. Not worth the price read more

Really good spot. There are great portions and decent prices. It's my second time here. First time I ordered inside and the second I went through the drive thru. I had no problems ordering from either one. The staff was so nice and helpful on answering any questions I had. The regular burritos are all meat and salsa. I like rice and beans in my burrito so I had to order the conga burrito. This thing is massive and delicious. We also got an asada torta and no complaints there. We begot a side of fries just to try and munch on. They're OK but nothing too good. They're shoestring fries, so they're mega tiny. I prefer the bigger cut fries. They also aren't seasoned with anything. Some seasoning salt would make them much better. read more

Amazing shredded beef tacos Excellent service I love the way they make their shredded beef tacos and enchiladas very delicious it's close to my home so Everytime the wife needs a break we grub here food is amazing I highly recommend people to it here read more

I don't believe this restaurant is here to serve food, it must be a front for laundering money !!! I ordered a steak and egg burrito and there was only one tiny piece of meat in it !!! read more

The carnitas were full of flavor, and our order-taker was very helpful and patient. We left with full tummies completely satisfied.

24 hours. Good food. Great customer service. Lots of options on menu. Carne asada is good whether it be tacos, burritos, or something. Rice and beans are good. Salsas are good. read more

Horrible customer service the two girls working the weekdays morning shift taking your order needs to be property trained on how to pack the food and especially the drinks for no spillage. I've been coming here for quite some time and it seem like the customer service keeps getting worse and worse. The girls are rude, unfriendly, and look miserable working projecting their energy off to the customer. Whatever issues they have personally should be kept to themselves and greet the customers with a professional attitude. The food is always great. cooks are doing a great. job. It's just the two girls customer service are horrible. I hope management fixes this issue.. thank you. read more

Food is good and tasty. Staff is also friendly. Love those spicy sauce. Yummy I recommend this place for Mexican food.

Got a shrimp cocktail disgusting they did not even bother to clean the tail literally every shrimp had poop . I will never be going back and recommend no one goes and eats here . Absolutely disgusting read more

I have to give this place an updated review because my experiences here have been quite pleasant. When ever I have the craving for some Mexican food, this tends to be my go to guilty pleasure. Now I will say I have not experienced every item on their menu, however my go to is always their grande tostada or flying saucer tostada. At other places this may be know as a taco bowl. Regardless it is delicious and I have had it on several occasions without a hitch. I recommend having it with their carne asada in substitute of their shredded beef. I can't speak on what the inside of the restaurant is like as I usually order through the drive inn. I can say the outside menu board and restaurant do look a bit dated. Also don't expect your meal to be fast despite it having a drive through window. It is more of a convenience so show some grace. Also they have an amazing array of salsas to add to your dish. All of them are fantastic, especially their red sauce. read more

Took a chance from my regular truck because I wanted menudo and upon eating it, there was a hair in my soup!. Extremely disappointed and then they acted like they didn't even want to give me my money back. read more

Terrible very pricey oily, greesey and old worst taco ever!! What a shame it used to be a place to go to get mexican authentic food, not any more!!!!! VERY SAD read more

I ordered a bean and cheese burrito, as well as a side of chips from the Menifee location. The chips tasted perfumey or chemically. I had to throw them away. A very disgusting experience. Also, some of the chips had french fries deep fried onto them. Eat with caution. read more

If I could give this place a zero I would. I was overcharged $343.00 (honest mistake and was quickly caught by the cashier) and was told I would have it the following day. Yet I still don't have the money. I called and the rude lady Deli who said it has happened before (I guess not an isolated mistake) mentioned it would take 36 hours. $300 plus dollars was taken out of my account in seconds yet I have to wait 36 plus hours for a refund makes no sense. read more

I was craving a California burrito and my bf went to pick one up from me here tonight at 10:50pm. Two bites in I got this awful stick poking me as I bit into it. I tried to take another bite and seemed to be like biting rocks. I completely lost my appetite. My bf took the burrito to try and finish since so much was left, as he took his second bite another wood stick appeared like wth???? Why?? How?? So gross. We tossed it immediately after read more

Food was okay at best. Service in the drive thru wasn't very good. The prices for what you are getting sucked. I got 2 combination plates- one enchiladas, and 2 beef tacos combo were not very good. $40 for lukewarm food and dry beef tacos. First and last time going read more

I picked up an order for Uber Eats here once and saw their San Felipe Carne Asada fries in the menu. They looked so good and I told myself I'm gonna try this one day. We'll I finally came today and got the San Felipe Fries. Let me tell you it was the most disappointed I've ever been. First off they are super expensive at around $17. They literally have nothing on them other than sour cream and cheese. The portion is super small also not even enough to make a burrito out of. These fries are supposedly their best seller so it says a lot about the rest of the restaurant. Please save your money cause you can get really good food for $17. read more

Castaneda's Mexican Food - One of the saddest carne asada fries I've ever gotten - Mexican Near Me - Menifee, California

For the people working in the drive through to not get mad, just because they don't clearly repeat your order back to you correctly.

the food was good. but earlier today I was there with my boyfriend, the girl that was on the drive through was so disrespectful. My boyfriend asked her for everything on the nachos and she had the audacity to say "you want me to pack up my self and go home with you?" while I was in the car with him. she needs to get fired. I will never go back there in my life. shes so desperate and she feels the need to hit on someone else's boyfriend. needs class and manners. this happened earlier April 5th at 22:16pm. She was chubby and definitely crossed the line. read more

I roll up to the drive-through and ask if I can order two tacos with no meat. She says sorry we don't have any. I said you can't give me a hardshell taco, with rice substituted for the beef and add guacamole. She says OK I ordered two of those and a Coke I get to the front and she tells me my total is $19 and some change. I said, can you break it down for me because that seems a bit much. She said the tacos are like five dollars plus the Coke is 3 and tax. I said that's still not adding up. It doesn't make any sense. Someone comes over pushes some buttons and says OK now it's $16.91. But my card was actually charged 1759. I just noticed. which I wouldn't be writing this if it actually ended up tasting good. But it is so bland and she gave me the wrong hot sauce, which was probably done on purpose. Absolutely will never go back here. read more

This place is just getting worse, no matter how many times you confirm an order.. they never get it right! I'm so annoyed with this location.. dont waste your time or money.. I hope the owner starts realizing how bad this location is.. maybe they should hire people who want to work, not just gossip. read more

I don't like to write 1-star reviews, but I will keep it vague, so nobody gets fired, worst service and attitude I have ever encountered in a restaurant. About the food- TOTAL RIP OFF, miniscule portions, I didn't enjoy the flavors it was either overcooked or underwhelming. This review almost didn't get posted, I thought about it for a few days, I just wish I could have found anything that was even just ok about Castaneda read more

I come here at least twice a year while visiting my mom and am never disappointed. I honestly don't understand why the overall rating is so low. Every time I'm here it's quick, cheap, tasty, and filling. The employees are nice. read more

It's too bad that this is the closest Mexican drive thru in Sun City community area. Although there's Miguel's near Newport, the rest are walk ups/dine in only (unless you drive little ways towards Perris/Romoland. Anyhow, been here twice & definitely have had better and disappointed in both quality and service - they either don't hear us correctly (and get mad at us for their mishaps) or just not customer service oriented nor friendly. Bottomline, it's close by as far as drive thru, but rather go to the other establishments for better - everything. read more

Castaneda's Mexican Food left an indelible mark on my taste buds. The vibrant atmosphere transported me straight to Mexico. Their carne asada tacos were a revelation of flavors, while the attentive staff and Mexican decor added to the charm. A must-visit for an authentic and memorable dining experience! I'm glad I decided to give them a second chance. They seem to need better reviews. The company is trying to do better. read more

So bad. Ordered a combo plate with a taco, chili relleno, rice and beans, and a side of guacamole. All 5 items were really bad and so overpriced. Prices in photos on google reviews and Yelp are not accurate. My combo plate alone was $18. Sometimes good salsa can help bad food out but even the salsa was bad read more

Their California burrito is okay. I wish the fries were more crispy and better seasoned but I've had way worse. Their salsas are good; darker green salsa is really good. I'd ask for crispy fries next time and will update my review accordingly read more

At the drive through Hidi dropped my food. I told her it was too messy and could they redo it. She said yes with a funny face. When I got it back it looked horrible. So I called them and she didn't want to give me my money back even though she took my name and said to take a picture of it. I'm here now to get my money back with a receipt. They are taking a long time abs is calling someone on the phone. This is not right. I have been coming here for years. I will never come back here again. It's slop now. Not sure what happened to this place. Now she only wants to give me a refund for 1 of the items. I didn't trust them so I returned both. Finally she's giving me a full refund. Bye for life!! read more

I don't know why I keep coming back? I'm not sure if they wash their dishes good because every time I order, my food tastes like soap!! Is it their cutting board or what they store the food in? Please rinse your dishes and utensils before cooking or prepping for the day. So gross!!! All The times I've ordered through drive thru. Has anyone else experienced this?! read more
