Excellent menu and very friendly service! Food is consistently delicious and is authentic Mexican! Wonderful ambience and outside tables under umbrellas ! Castenadas is our favorite Mexican eatery!

Shrimp tacos

Shrimp tacos were delicious - shrimp cooked to perfection. Service was great. BYOB location. They ran out of avocados and guacamole - big disappointment that is one of the reason we picked Mexican for dinner.

Complimentary chips and salsa

Cute little town but huge on the flavor!!! We ate a huge early lunch today but got hungry for dinner. Mexican sounded good. Castanedas is legit! First you get complementary chips with their delicious salsa!! A smooth salsa with a bit of a peppery bite. It's not hot at all.... It's delicious!! I love enchiladas verde!! They had a special today- enchiladas suizas. I got the chicken. It came smothered in a tomatillo sauce that makes your mouth water!!! I ate so many chips because the salsa was so good that I was only able to eat a small portion of my enchiladas!! No worries they are coming home with me!!! My GF ordered chicken fajitas. They came out sizzling on the platter!! The portions were huge!! We both left with enough for another meal!! The service was good... young kids but they were polite. It was a gorgeous evening so we sat outside in the courtyard. Perfect experience and end to the evening!!! Definitely give them a try!!! They seem to do a great takeout business as well if you don't have time to sit and enjoy!!

Excellent Mexican in scenic downtown Denver! Menu has all the staples you'd expect, but nothing exotic. Chips and salsa are spot on- thick salsa- and our dinners- tacos al pastor, steak tacos for the kids, and an enchiladas verde- were fantastic. Service was friendly, glasses were kept full, and portions were decent. Owner is quite gregarious, moving about the patrons and chatting it up. Prices were all in the $10 or less range for our selections. Great addition to northern Lanco, one which will now rival the previously uncontested La Borimex. Let the battle of Los Luchidoros begin!

Great small-town place. The food was excellent and they had really good prices. Would definitely return

Stopped here for lunch on our way to the Poconos back in January for a quick lunch and we'll definitely be back. I got the Pastor Tacos (what a steal $6.99 for 3 tacos) and they were absolutely delicious & the flavor was spot on. Hubby got the chicken Burrito which came with rice & refried beans and he thoroughly enjoyed it, he rarely finishes his burritos but he simply couldn't stop eating this one, I never even got a bite. They start you out with chips & salsa - thin crispy tortilla chips accompanied by an authentic tomato based salsa with chunks of tomato, onion & cilantro. We'll definitely be back when in the area again.

Tamales, shredded chicken burrito, enchiladas rojas, flautas, and tacos al pastor.

We walked in as the only customers and saw owners I am guessing they were on their phones at a…read moretable in the corner. We waited and then the girl spoke the older gentleman no smile no words just ignored. Not welcoming as a first time there. Lucky the high school boy with braces came on shift with a friendly personality and made a better impression. Food was good. But just expected small business more welcoming in a small town. Oh finished and payed still in corner on the phone no eye contact or thank you for coming.

What it lacks it makes up for in charm. Welcomed w/ chips & salsa (puréed thin, good texture, but…read moreprefer more cilantro & heat). Beef Chimichanga good, but just straight up ground beef with minimal flair. Enjoyed Shrimp Chimichanga more since it was creamier & texture interrupted by chunky shrimp & bell pepper. What blew me away was menu item I generally have no use for- Tortilla soup. (Not a fan of soggy chips floating in broth). This was fantastic! Flavorful broth with diced tomato, a ball of soft, creamy, cheese, a sunken bed of rice, & fried tortilla strips that were soft but still had texture. Everything here is just a bit muted. You won't find strong flavors or lots of heat (the locals would never go for it) but food has fresh, homemade, simplicity that scratches the itch. Fried ice cream is a nice finish. Wait staff is young family that takes pride in delivering food to your table. A happy addition to the zip code & maybe the only Latin food for miles.
