I've been here a total of about 5X, with the last 2 being impressive. The first 3X atleast a year ago or more I would've gave them an average score of 3. Today, Idk if they got new ownership or management but the food stands out from other "Alberto's" variations. I've ordered Carne asada Nachos & Burritos from here & they were fresh and tasty... and clean. These types of fast food Mexican restaurants tend to make their food extra heavy loaded with dirty oils. That wasn't my experience here, I'm full, satisfied and no bloating. The prices are a little bit steeper than most, but if it means you're getting fresh clean food it's worth the price. Food is going in the right direction, they just need to clean up the paint, and give the restaurant a cleaner look.

There are several Castaneda's in the area, and my review would apply to the Palm Springs, Desert Hot Springs and Cathedral City locations as the service and food quality is consistent. I like that Castanedas is open 24 hours. I usually get the Enchilada Plate (cheese enchiladas, rice, beans, a bit of shredded lettuce and tomato. While I am not a fan of the 'salad' (it tends to get soggy quickly from the beans and enchilada sauce) i love, love, love, the cheese enchiladas. I wish tortilla chips were provided free with the meal. I usually use the drive thru but when i have eaten inside, the dining room has been clean, the restrooms clean, and my meal has been prepared quickly and correctly. The menu is extensive: but can be a bit hard to read when dining inside as the descriptions are in a small font. The staff is always respectful and professional. I recommend Castañedas as an inexpensive alternative to the many tablecloth and white napkin 'sit down' cafes in the area.
