“ Best carne asada fries in the city. They have 3 potato options, the regular fries which are more limp, crispy fries, and potatoes, which are like hand cut fries with the skin on. As much as I love crispy fries, the regular fry option is the best here. It's about 18, but it comes in over 2 pounds, so it can serve 2 or leftovers for tomorrow. They have a variety of salsa, 2 green, 2 red, and a tomatillo. The dark green and the more brownish red are the best. They also have great hot carrots on the salsa bar. Well cooked, thick cut carrots. No complimentary chips, but that's minor compared to the great food. ”
“ The customer service is beyond grade A quality, they always greet you with a smile, energetic and helpful. The food is fresh and made well, every single time. And the agua frecas are always on point too!!! It's hard for me to stay away because of these outstanding qualities. My wife and I eat here just about every other day, she has to force me to cook so we don't eat CASTENADAS! Lol! Oh yeah the place is clean all the time...never dirty like other places and they ALWAYS have good TV shows on. Thanks to the owner and everyone that works there, we appreciate your unmatched level of service and unparalleled food options. Gracias!! Los Cochinos. ”

“ Always deliver with the flavor! And give you the order how you order it, always nice and fairly priced. Portions are big too. My favorite Mexican restaurant and its a bonus that it’s 24/7 for those late munchies cravings. Also they aren’t shy about giving you extra salsas. Highly recommend. ”
“ Everything was a 10/10! All the food was delicious. I came with my family and we tried the carne asada fries, fish cali burrito, marinated chicken cali burrito, carne asada cali burrito, and hot cheetos burrito and they were all huge and delicious! All of the salsas were so fresh and delicious too All of the employees were very friendly too and the restaurant was well maintained and clean. ”
“ The place was empty, because of the hour, it was at about 10pm. The street tacos were outstanding and so was the horchata. ”
