“Just brought my son and his friend to Castroville Chevron. We all ordered a double cheese burger with everything and an order of fries to share. I will not drive by this place without thinking of how delicious their burgers are. They don't have seating but the cook was kind enough to set a table out in the parking lot where we ate.”

“honestly been meaning to write this for a while. finally went in yesterday and it was packed which I didn't expect on a Tuesday but the energy was great. the staff were super friendly even with the crowd and my order came out fast and hot. i got the burrito and it was definately the best Ive had in a while, generous portions without being a mess. My only real complaint is the parking situation, its a total pain becuase the lot is shared and super tight. if you can find street parking take it. solid spot overall though, I'll be back to try the tacos next time.”
