This is Castaneda’s first restaurant in the Albany area but his fifteenth in New York State. Castaneda, based near Buffalo, has successfully opened several Western and Central New York restaurants.

The Wolf Road location features a similar concept to his other cantinas, with a menu full of traditional Mexican dishes and a modern twist. When asked what we can expect, he said:

We are more modern. We push the liquor a lot more. We are more, I would say, fancy.
