Castañeda's Mexican Food — Restaurant in Palm Springs

Went through Casteneda's drive-thru in Palm Springs on Ramon Rd around 11:30pm 7/31/2023. I odered the #11 which was 2 fish tacos with rice and beans. I got home, and while eating my 2nd taco I felt something sharp pierce my gum while chewing. I spit out my food and there was a piece of serrated metal. It looked like a chipped knife or a jagged razer, thin with many sharp points. I took my food back to show them and ask for a refund, this time deciding to go inside. I parked, got out of my car and saw a rat running along the wall outside while approaching the building. I paid with a card but they gave me a refund in cash. The women (cashier) appolgized but the cook (a man) did not. She offered to remake my food or give me a drink but I declined. I will never go back. I told them had someone swallowed what was in my food it may have been life threatening. I will not be returning and will be telling friends and family to refrain from visiting this...

I ordered Rolled Potato Tacos, something you can’t find where I’m from all that easily so I was excited to try them. I received Chicken.

Unfortunately I didn’t realize they gave me chicken until we made it all the way back to the hotel. So at that point I just ate the side of beans and rice I had ordered, which was nothing special. All in all this place was pretty disappointing. Even if they did get everything correct it still seems overpriced compared to the countless other drive through mexican restaurants I’ve been to in Southern California. Won’t be...

On February 18, 2025 I was served the worst Cabeza Burrito ever!! It has Pieces of Lengua And the meat was overcooked and the tortilla was burnt!!!? I wasted my money. I felt like throwing up after taking a few bites. Everything was tail, even the onion and cilantro Buyer beware. For the first time eating here I got what I wanted. I frequent the Castaneda restaurants to have the Cabeza burrito because I like Cabeza every other time other than today at 12:30 these burritos are usually flooded with oil. The person that is cooking today should teach all the cooks how to make this burrito because there was no oil that’s gonna stay on top of my stomach for hours and hours and hours all day. Thank you you did a...
