We came here for a quick dinner. We had the happy hour Modelo to kick off a relaxing evening. The server was nice and helpful with our dinner selection. I had 3 tacos, chicken, beef and El pastor. The charred flavor was amazing. The tacos are simple but delicious. It's perfect portion for me. My boyfriend ordered a tongue taco and the Gordita. Service slowed a bit when more customers arrived. Completely understand when there was only one server. The food is good though. read more

Burrito de Asada and Carne a la Tampiqueña. Every good Mexican restaurant in my point of view has to have a good burrito and Casa Calderón does. It came with a side of lettuce, tomato, avocado sliced with sour cream on the side so you can serve your self as you like. The burrito is a good size although not big to my standard, very tasty LOVE the spicy salsa! Music plays a little louder than I like sometimes but it works with the colorful ambiance and rustic, hacienda-like architecture, and picturesque oil paintings. The Tampiqueña plate was fresh served with beans, cheese, one small enchilada, lettuce. The meat topped with cooked white onion and sliced jalapeños was tasty but not as much as the burrito. I've been wanting to stop by for a few years, but today I finally stopped with the wife and enjoyed the food and ambiance, you should stop by and try it too. Oh! Two more things: The service was friendly, and timely. THE TORTILLAS ARE MADE IN-HOUSE. No folic acid BS added to these. read more

Casa Calderon - Carne a lanTampuqueña and Burrito de Asada... Fajitas de Carne in the background. - Mexican Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Decided to return because I was thinking about the Carne Asada steak plate and had a much better experience this time! During this visit, the wait time for food was significantly better than last time (only waited about 10 minutes). I also got the chance to try the Birria Taco, Shrimp taco, and Fish Taco. The Birria taco was divine! Well seasoned meat and had excellent flavors even though it didn't come to consumé. The fish and shrimp tacos were pretty good, too, but didn't stand out as much as the Birria one. The price of the food is also so reasonable! read more

This is a homestyle restaurant serving authentic Mexican food as if you were in Your tias kitchen. Its very simple interior is clean and welcoming service is friendly and efficient ~ great for take out or a casual meal away from home ~ it hits the spot and is definitely worth a try especially since the area Doesn't have many sit down Mexican food options read more

I really didn't expect much to be honest. It was a Friday night and nobody was inside. I thought it would be a "got the job done" meal but I was pleasantly surprised. The beans were just so wholesome and delicious. The chicken soup also wasn't red (bouillon typically) and looked truly from scratch with chayote, and whole chicken legs with clear broth. Everything they made was like a home cooked meal from your abuelita for reals. Kids menu was an awesome value. Get the green enchiladas over the red but they're SPICY. I'll be back! read more

This is a good place if you're craving Mexican food as you're driving through the San Gabriel Valley. Although the SGV is known for a lot of Asian food, this place fits right in! We came as a group and we all ordered something different. All the food was made fresh, and everything looked and smelled delicious. We had a taquito plate, a fajitas plate, a ceviche plate, everything was outstanding. The service was good also. We were greeted and seated as we walked in. The waiter took our order after briefly looking through the menu. This seems like a great place for happy hour or to view a major sporting event. Not to mention the great sound of mariachi music playing throughout the restaurant. read more

Wife and I have been here twice. We've had their tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, & Pupusas - Revuelas. All food has been well prepared and tasty. Service has been friendly and attentive. They have daily specials and happy hours, so be sure to come at the right times to get the food and drink deals. Is it the best Mexican restaurant I've been to? The fanciest? Of course not. But I have nothing to complain about, so 5 stars. read more

Very disappointed with our experience. The service was terrible, and the woman named Jessica gave us attitude when we simply asked for the check. It was our first time there, and this is not the kind of experience we expected. Customer service makes a big difference, and unfortunately, we did not feel welcomed. I would not recommend this place. read more

This might just be me but I hate Mexican restaurants that serve smooth salsa; they never taste as good as the chunky salsas. I will say that the green salsa is tasty (not spicy at all), I just prefer the chunky tomato kind. Got enchilada plate and the sauce was a wee bit bitter, tasted mildly like chipotle if I'm not mistaken. I'm not a huge fan of smokey enchiladas so I wouldn't recommend or order them again. Plate was served with lettuce, rice & beans. All of it seemed good quality but lacked a bit in flavor. I like everything spicy so maybe that's a personal problem. Price of everything was average - about $15 per person. No dealbreaker there. Service was OK - we went on a Friday night and sat outside, was not busy from what I could tell. Tip on the parking: the sidewalk exit directly in front of Casa Calderon has an incredibly steep dip, so avoid it. Enter/exit by the little (Indian/Pakistani) shop on the other side of the lot. Lot is tiny as well, so might call for street parking. Not a bad experience overall but not really a spot that left me with a good enough impression for a return visit. read more

Came here first time. We ordered menudo and it had good flavor although barely any hominy. Also prefer the carne asada plate: rice seemed to be old, the meat was just ok with alot of fat. The waiter is extremely slow to attend you (waited 20 minutes to get seated although tables were available), take order, bring your food, check out. Wanted a michelada and they didn't have any. Wanted a fountain drink and they didn't have any. read more

The food was very good ! Ordered guac , chicken crispy taco, and fish ceviche!! On point with the seasoning! The service was elite! Miguel and Jessica was phenomenal!!! The ambiance is nothing much! Only slight issue I had is that it could have been a bit more clean inside! However, I will try it again and return for other options! Small parking lot they have for customers and parking in back. -Marshay D. read more

Casa Calderon consistently has fantastic service, and delicious food in a typical Mexican cafe setting. Daily rotating specials range from $5.97 to $15.99. Everything is made fresh so it might take a little longer than you're used to, but it's well worth the wait! read more

Service was great, seated right away. The waitress came by to make sure everything was ok. The tortillas were excellent as well as my rice and beans.

Never tried this place, decided to give it a try. Went in sat and ordered our food. While we were waiting, my wife sees a roach running across the floor. Mind you, this was about 10:30 am. We got up left like there was no tomorrow! We will never go back again!!! Even though this place got a A rating, the roach killed it. So, beware if you try. You may get a roach in your food. Stay away!!! read more

This place always hits the spot when you want good Mexican food in the area. Service is pretty slow each time I have come but there's only 1 server taking care of everything. However, food does come out fast. I've had multiple types of plates and it's pretty standard fare. Their carne en su jugo is alright, it's not my favorite but it's passable and if I was craving some, this would satisfy my craving. Overall, it's a good Mexican food spot in the area. read more

Have been here a number of times over the years. Not the liveliest Mexican restaurant in the San Gabriel Valley but the food is good and prices are reasonable. The ambience and the service could both use a little "sprucing up" but my wife and I can deal with it. Glad that we have always been able to park right in front. Plan to return soon. read more

Food was good. Ordered tacos dorados with shredded beef and tostada mixta. Beef was tender. I would have liked extra cheese on the tacos but otherwise very good. Tostada mixta was flavorful. Overall, good food, casual vibes and friendly staff. read more

We saw this restaurant while driving down Las Tunas and we decided to try it. It was very good. I ordered the huarache with beans and rice and it was delicious. The service was impeccable. The owners son and the waitress Jessica was very kind, attentive, easy going and very accommodating. The restaurant had the traditional Mexican style decor with limited seating. They had outdoor seating that was decent and parking lot was very small. However, they had parked on the street and in the rear of the restaurant. I will try the ceviche next time. read more

No fuss, straightforward and delicious Mexican food! We ordered the al pastor burrito with guacamole and an al pastor quesadilla. Above average portion sizes and both were delicious. We were also given some tortilla chips and dip. Fast and attentive service. Lots of seating inside. Parking available in a tight plaza or directly on the side streets. read more

After I pick up my wife work we were very hungry and my wife was craving for caldo or soup then I remember a friend told a restaurant on Las Tunas Dr in San Gabriel. He have been going to the restaurant for years he told me the food is really good then my wife and I headed to the restaurant. We arrive at the restaurant and looks old traditional restaurant from Mexico that I remember when we to Mexico. We got seated right Way the interior have classic look that we like then waiter came and hand us the menu and ask us our drinks order my wife order a Hibiscus drink then I order a Mexico coke bottle. Then we order my wife order the caldo de Pollo or chicken soup and also order a bean and cheese burrito then I order a Chili renello plate one of my favorite dishes. Then the waiter brought our food it looks and smell really good. I took a bite of my chili renello it was really good lots of flavor in the chile and also the sauce and especially the cheese it was good and chewy that's the kind-of cheese I like.

Sopes are huge. The quantity of meat is a good amount and very tasty. Staff is always very friendly and welcoming, very clean and attentive.

Used to come here for drinks only becuase the food was not authentic. But it's now under new ownership. Pretty much the same decor and ambiance but now serving amazing food. There's something for everyone. Loved their kid friendly menu. My girls loved their chicken nuggets and quesadilla. I even enjoyed the chicken nuggets. I highly recommend their popusas and red pork gorditas. Also shared steak tacos which were very tasty.Don't sleep on their michelada.So refreshing.Haven't had food this authentic in a long time. They also have beer and wine. Amazing wine based margaritas. One can't tell the difference. Service with a smile is always appreciated. The parking can be iffy but it's worth it. read more

Food is average and ambiance is rough. They gave us a small bowl of chips and salsa to split 3 ways then told us they were out of chips when we asked for another round. Most of the restaurant is sectioned off and the lighting inside is LED bars hanging from the ceiling. Ordered a wet burrito and the red sauce tasted like tomato soup. 2 stars for the nice server but will not be back read more

An honest review here. I went thinking that this place looked really cute. And it is. But that's the extent of it. My son ordered some beef soup and we were initially impressed that the meat was bone-in. That adds flavor. But the broth tasted a little gamey. The meat was not tender and it was overcooked so the chunks of meat were all curled up super unappetizing. I ordered the fajitas. They were bland. The peppers were crunchy and undercooked. I had to ask for sour cream and salsa for on the side. The rice was crunchy. Disgusting. My fiancee ordered a plate that had a taco and chile relleno. It was ok. The beans were good but the rice was also crunchy. Old rice, maybe?? The homemade tortillas were really good but they shouldn't be the star of the show. And my michelada was nearly tasteless. Almost like they just toss a tablespoon of store bought sprices into a draft beer. The cost for three meals and two micheladas was eye watering. $91!!! Skip this place. I was looking out the window and saw a poke bowl place. Should have tried that instead. :( read more

Located on Las Tunas in San Gabriel is one of the few authentic Mexican restaurants nearby to our home. The food is good and the service is fairly quick, as we were able to have dinner in under an hour. The restaurant feels small, but good enough to party for Cinco de Mayo. Another reason I wanted to dine here was for the taquitos, which were delicious and great guacamole to boot. My only gripe is they don't have refills of ice tea, which is normally free at most restaurants. read more

Tried Casa Calderon for delivery and wonderfully surprised by the high quality, home cooked items delivered fresh and warm to our door: 1) chili rellano not greasy, cooked perfectly with not too much cheese and just the right spice 2) chili verse tender, not too salty, homemade flavor 3) delicious enchilada plate with well cooked pinto beans and tasty rice. Homemade tortillas topped this off! 5 stars!! We will come back to this family owned local spot for sure. read more

honestly the wet burrito tasted more like spaghetti with tomato sauce than mexican food the sauce was super sweet and didn't have that chile flavor you expect from a burrito it threw me off completely the meat and tortilla were okay but the sauce ruined it for me i was really disappointed and probably wouldn't order it again read more

Great soft tacos fish and any meat you want. Nice simple local place with good happy hour prices. When it gets colder the soups look great.

Quiet but good local spot! Use to come years ago when I lived locally. Decided to stop in and pleased to know its still as good as ever. Recommend it read more

Pretty decent. Not a homerun. The torta was just okay, the bread was actually a bit soft and wet, compared to hearty and crusty. The al pastor was a bit mild and a bit overchopped... but flavors were good. Service was okay, food was okay, aesthetic was okay. If I was nearby and hungry, sure, I'd return. But would I make a special trip to this neighborhood for the food? Probably not. read more
