    chicken quesadilla
    Sheeny N.

    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!

    Great old-school Mexican restaurant with good vibe. Staff friendly, service attentive, and food good. Nothing fancy just solid local spot that does things right. We had a good experience and would definitely come back.

    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.

    A night of Margachelas and Micheladas, with delicious pupusas, tacos are my go to. The food is delicious. The environment is comfortable and Keep TV for entertainment. I always enjoy a nice relaxing time here to get away from the bustle of life. Happy hours too!

    Enchiladas

    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.

    Steak Picado plate
    Gloria H.

    "Thank You Casa Calderon" for great combination dinners. Started with taquitos appetizer plate. The Steak Picado went really good with the tasty beans & Rice. My Server was very patient and took care of all my needs while dinning.

    Salsa verde

    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.

    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!

    Chili verde
    Lance H.

    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. I ordered the chili verde plate which was good, I did not care for the bone and cartilage that was in there. The restaurant is nice and clean and not too noisy.

    Enchiladas
    Cecilia H.

    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.

    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.

    Is this under new management? When did this new management take over?

    How much for a dozen tamales?

    Casa Calderon doesn't have tamales. Try their amazing Taco de Birria or Chile Relleno instead!

    How are the taquitos and chips & salsa?

    I liked the taquitos. Very simple and plain. The chips and salsa are horrible! The chips do not taste homemade and you get very few. Salsa if they don't run out it's just a green bland mess. Or you might get the red one that's just hot & no…

    I had driven by this place countless times when working in that area but never tried it…read more One day about 2 months ago, at the stop sign beside it, I kept staring at the big photo/sign saying FISH TACOS $2.49 each. I was starving. I parked and went in. I ordered 2 fish tacos and the cook instantly got 2 FRESH (not frozen) larger than expected, fish fillets, THEN dipped them into HOMEMADE BATTER right in front of me and dropped them into the fry basket. Where will you ever see that nowadays? They were ready almost instantly, and were done perfect Baja style, with lots of that good salty mayo+crema white sauce. THEY WERE AWESOME. And BIG. And would have cost WAY MORE at any other place...for $5. Really satisfying, I was NOT hungry after 2 of them. Since then I have probably been there 7 times, the quality has never varied. And they make all their own salsas, etc. I have even taken jobs down in that area just so I can eat there! ;-) The only other thing I have tried is taco de lengua, it was equally excellent, with LOTS of meat, not some skimpy little street taco thing. But just go there and see what $5 will get you with the fish tacos, this has to be the best deal in today's food world that I have found and I work all over the San Gabriel Valley and eat at dozens of places. Its not fancy though, old school with lots of handmade cardboard signs showing lots of other dishes, but this is the ambiance you will find in some of the BEST mom and pop type cafe's. The ratio of deliciousness and quality to price is insanely in favor of the customer!!

    This is small mom and pop shop where you literally see the couple (el señor y la señora) behind the…read morecounter and kitchen area. We ordered for pick up and had: - macho fries (they were pretty darkly fried but very soggy even though picked up within 15 mins -- they throw refried beans on them so not great if you really wanted carne asada style fries) - FISH tacos - YES I'd come back for these at $2.50 a piece - they were still crunchy by time I got home 5 mins later and had plenty of flavors - good price, - lengua burrito - lady never said the price but burrito was OK, just rice and lengua - steak combo plate - flavors were ok - macho burrito - they got this wrong bc we didn't want wet burrito but they did it anyways :( -- this was quite SALTY. OVERALL - if you're really hungry and need basic food, some dishes are better than others. I think it was OK to try this out but still going back to my old time favorite Mexican restaurant. Mom and pop -- especially mom is funny and has sense of humor. Indoors they have a few tables and they have TV playing soccer games too. They accept credit cards.

    Must ask for this delicious salsa to go on top of the tacos. It packs a nice little heat.

    I just found another of my favorite mexican restaurant in San Gabriel…read more The place is small but cozy, the service is ok since only one person is serving but she is nice and respectful but the food, OMG it is soo good . I usually dont eat the chips before the food but this ones are soo good that we finished soon, they made it right there so they are hot and a little spicy but not much. The plates are big, you can even share or take home if you dont finish but the taste is good, we love it. I have tried garlic shrimps, enchiladas suizas, torta de pastor y sopes and really like everything. The only thing you need to be patient because they made the food when you order, but in the meantime, you can play lotería since they have the cards on the tables

    Parking in the back Takes credit care with $1 fee…read more It's a one man show, only one guy working, cooking, bussing, and dealing the cash. So the service is slow. But the food is pretty good taste Monday special- pupusa- revuelta and frijoles and cheese ($1.75) Wet burrito with pastor- large portions. Green sauce is super good. Choose your meat and al pastor meat is decent Enchiladas and with Chile relleno ($17.99)- Chile relleno was very good. They use a large pepper, and cooked well enough so the pepper is soft. The green and red sauce is really good. Pupusa- really good. Soft exterior but has a little texture.
