    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.

    Carnitas tacos

    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 (just ok, nothing crazy)

    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.

    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!

    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.

    5 rolled beef taquitos with guac and shredded cheese on the side.

    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.

    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 :)

    OK, yes I am giving this Taco Bell five based on Taco Bell and what you experience when you go to…read moreTaco Bell. Not comparing Taco Bell to the best restaurant I've ever been to. But for a Taco Bell this one is on point. For the first time in forever, I felt like I was getting my moneys worth there was meat and enough cheese in the taco to satisfy me and I get them without lettuce. I actually went here twice in the last week. I went on vacation from Vegas to Anaheim and I wanted some luncheon so I went through the drive-through and I had asked if my tacos were made without the lettuce and the guy working in the window made a little cheeky joke, which I really appreciate it. It was so cute and well time he's like oh it has extra lettuce on it. It was adorable. I super loved that he showed his personality and you didn't have the typical Taco Bell experience where the window person is robotic. I went through today ordered the exact same thing I had before pulled up and JUAN it turns out was working the window again and he remembered me and I told him yeah I'm coming back from my vacation and I came back here because I just remember how great the service was and the tacos were before so I was hungry and it's dinner time... I asked him his name and he told me it was one and he is a really great employee! The customer experience was so good. I thought you know that kid working the window was really funny last time and I had a really good experience. I'm kind of hungry and it's right here. I'm gonna pull off and go again. And probably now anytime I go to California. I'm gonna go to the Taco Bell because I've had such good experiences there and the food is really good. I'm really glad I got to tell Juan that I appreciated his sense of humor the first time around and he may not know the impact he has on someone just a simple little joke like that can go so far !

    Stopped by to grab a quick bite and I ordered a bean and cheese burrito with extra onion and red…read moresauce. My order was just right. Beans were hot, not too much cheese, and just the right amount of extra onions. Great job on the customer service as well. The cashier was extremely nice and polite.
