I absolutely love my experience at Las Caleñas. This is a family owned and operated restaurant. And the food is delicious. My lunch date recommended we eat here and i have no regrets. My meal was a great value and it was delicious. Pro tip: They have a fruity smoothie menu that you can't go wrong with. Staff: Super friendly & bilingual ( because I can't speak spanish) Parking: plenty of parking in front and side of the building. read more

Las Caleñas Colombian Restaurant - Colombian Near Me - Katy, Texas

BEWARE! this place tried to force us to give a tip by including it in the total for a "table of 5" even though only 4 adults ordered food and 1 adult joined our table for a cup of coffee. They do not have anything that states this on any menus or on the walls or anywhere that discloses if there's a table of 5 there is a REQUIRED 10% tip. So I was shocked when the manager informed me that the rule was verbal and instead of allowing me to speak to the owner she claimed she could do nothing. The manager (older woman with glasses) insisted that it was a "verbal rule" which is why it's not documented on anything. That seems ILLEGAL. In addition, the service is BAD. If the service would've been good I might not even have noticed this extra change on my receipt. So sad that it seems they just want to take advantage of people. I suggest trying OTHER Colombian restaurants in the area. This one is NOT worth your money. Traducido al español: ¡CARE CUIDADO! Este lugar trató de obligarnos a dar una propina incluyéndola en el total para una "mesa de 5" a pesar de que solo 4 adultos pidieron comida y 1 adulto se unió a nuestra mesa para una taza de café. No tienen nada que indique esto en ningún menú o en las paredes o en cualquier lugar que revele si hay una mesa de 5 hay una propina REQUERIDA del 10%. Así que me sorprendió cuando la gerente me informó que la regla era verbal y en lugar de permitirme hablar con el propietario, afirmó que no podía hacer nada. La gerente (mujer mayor con gafas) insistió en que era una "regla verbal", por lo que no está documentada en nada. Eso parece ILEGAL. Además, el servicio es MALO. Si el servicio hubiera sido bueno, ni siquiera habría notado este cambio adicional en mi recibo. Es tan triste que parece que solo quieren aprovecharse de la gente. Sugiero probar OTROS restaurantes colombianos de la zona. Este NO vale tu dinero. read more

Llegue a comer carne con frijoles por eso pedi carne asada un plato de $15,75, mi sorpresa fue el grosor de la carne, era una linea de carne, el bistec mas delgado que he visto , sin exagerar era del grosor del cuchillo ( foto) no se como lograron cortarla tan delgada, aceptable para un plato del dia , pero no para un plato de ese precio. Adicionalmente regrese los frijoles no tenían sal se les olvido al cocinarlos, sin problema pedi cambio por ensalada roja me informaron que seria aparte del plato que me lo cobrarían aparte, les respondí que si que me lo cobraran y así fue. Solo como recomendación si un cliente regresa parte de un plato fuerte por problemas de cocción y no les regreso el plato completo lo mínimo seria no cobrar una porción de ensalada, no por el monto en dinero sino por enmendar el mal rato. read more

Es la segunda vez que vamos a las Calenas Rest. ya que nos habia gustado el menu que tienen. La picada calena nos gusto mucho en especial la rellena, el servicio y la atencion excelente. El local se ve supremamente limpio, los banos ni que decir. Felicitaciones a los duenos. German P read more

Super rico y la panadería está deliciosa el pan con queso y las almojábana super gracias por el servicio excelente y comida excelente

Muy muy costoso $$$$$$$$ comparado con la calidad y cantidad de lo que sirven. Nos sirvieron papás dañadas. Adicionalmente nos cobraron un cargo obligatorio de 18% de tip/servicio que equivale a la comida de 2 personas más. Eso no está bien que sea obligatorio. Es muy caro, no vale la pena. Para esos precios ahí otros restaurantes mucho mejores. Very expensive versus quality and quality. Gave insane potatoes. In addition, mandatory service charge of 18%. Not recommended. A lot Better restaurant are found for that cost. read more

I hate to do this but, this is the second time I call them to complain and it seems they don't care much. I do not know what is going on with the quality of your food. It seems that the bigger the restaurant gets, the worse it becomes. I used to order food from La Olla restaurant and switched to your restaurant because of the service, and the food was amazing. But recently every time I order from your restaurant the food is mediocre, and the price is not cheap. Unfortunately, this will be the last time I order food from your restaurant. Hopefully, the service and food quality will improve like it used to be when the two sisters that own the place help the clientele. How can you server bad avocado and bad cold eggs! read more

This is a mom and pop restaurant which I love trying. Service was slow, I mean slow. When we sat down, it took about 10 minutes for someone to acknowledge us and ask if we were there to eat??? Really, why would we have come in, sat down and look like a dear in head lights waiting for someone to take our order as we are looking at the menu. With only 3 tables I could not understand why it took 6, count them six times to get a refill on water. And that's after flagging the waitress down from chit chatting who was literally 5 feet away from me. Now as far as the food, I got the paisa Bandeja thinking this was a safe option. The beans were flavorful but that's about it. Was not the worst but nowhere near the best. When I tell you service is bad, when I went to pay at the register because no one brought us a check, again it like they were surprised I needed assistance to pay and that took several minutes for someone to decide to take my payment. I'm baffled that a family owned businesses would not do better when it comes to service. I will not be revisiting this establishment ever again. read more

Having a husband who is Colombian and coming from the NJ, we are always on the lookout for new places that can bring us back "home". This place did just that. The moment we walked in, it had a great atmosphere and great service. We took a seat and ordered a few empanadas along with a picada valluena for 1. The picada for 1 was enough for 4 people to pick on. It was sooo good. It came with French fries, plátanos, Chicharrón, chicken, and steak. I would highly recommend getting this and few empanadas to start your meal. We got so full off of it, we didn't get a main entree. Next time we go I'm definitely getting an entree and I'll update this review. Overall, the service the environment and the food is great! I can't wait to go back. read more

The food and service is great! The ambiance is so homie :) stop by it's worth it. I feel like I'm in Colombia.

It is very expensive and the quality is not very good. They also have the tip included as if this were a four-star restaurant. I only give it one for the service. read more

I came here a few weeks ago on my way home to San Antonio. Cali is known for having a wide variety of delicious food in Colombia. Unfortunately this restaurant didn't live up the expectation. We ordered papa rellena, empanadas, and buñuelos. The restaurant had no idea what pasteles de carne, champus, merengon, or chuzo desgranado was. Why? Because despite the name "Caleñas", all you get is comida paisa. The papas rellenas and empanadas were very oily, and they were fried in old grease. They were awful. The buñuelos were very dry. We spent about $25 on food that we couldn't even eat because of the swill taste. On the positive side, the staff were very nice. If you want food from Valle de Cauca, then don't let this place fool you. It's not there. It's just poorly cooked comida paisa with half the flavor. read more

This is the spot to go right now this summer. When you're looking for a quenching... thirst calming... something. Try there Lulada, Salpicón, Champús. Mmm mmm they're all made out of fruits from Colombian. Such great tasting treats/ drinks. I Promise You'll Thank Me Later. read more

We stopped here for lunch after a visit to Katy Budget Books. I had a good bowl of beef soup & wifey had the chicken soup. Unbelievably delicious broth. We shared a Colombian sampler platter that had rice, beans, plantain, Chicharrón, sausage and a fried egg. Friendly service and good food for a great price. read more

This review is from person that doesn't regularly eat Latin cuisine but likes to try outside my norms (Pizza, burgers, and kimchi). I had the Bandeja Paisa here to go and it was just mediocre. The dish is large but so is the price tag ($12). Service isn't really that great but friendly. The taste of the dish though is really bland aside from the chorizo. Do not order this either of you don't like pork. I'm going to reserve my final judgement at a personal level on Colombian food until I try 2 more dishes at different establishments. read more

The waitress delivered our drinks warm and watery. Hopefully the meal isn't overcooked lol

The best Colombian food hands down... Service is as if you are a guest in there own home.. Great family owned restaurant. read more

Delicioso! Great customer service always feels like at home. Clean and great lunch deals!

Having lived in NYC ,where there are some excellent Colombian places, made me set my standards high for Colombian food. That being said this place is pretty good! The portions are just the right amount. The menu is rather small but it has a bit of everything. What I would change? Service needs to be improved a bit. I think they only have one server so when this place gets busy she gets overwhelmed. Great food! I'll be back for more! PS. Check your check carefully, it seems like they include the tip in parties over 4 people! read more

Bad service. We waited for an hour for our food, other tables getting served before us and then the waiter asked us what our order was.. they never even placed our order! terrible, wasted our time, and no offer for a free meal. we were asked to wait longer for the meal to come out. we shouldn't have to pay for others mistakes. read more

Don't come here. They're not going to take care of you. The service sucks. And they forgot to put in our order. She didn't even notice until an hour later. She had served 2 other tables that came after us. Then she finally noticed. Didn't even offer us a free meal. Smh. You guys want some good Colombian food try Mi Pueblito. They have 2 locations and are both professional and delicious! read more

Have my fellow yelpers lost their taste buds? The food had no flavor what so ever. The rice was hard. The beans seasoning was off. The meat was hard and no flavor. The arepa was dry. What kind of colombian restaurant is this that they can't even cook rice and beans? Definitely not coming back. Worse colombian food ever. read more

Love this place the chorizo is the best...only thing that tastes bad is the beans as they have too much "azafran" and also the TV is not family appropriate unfortunately, also they work trough door dash which will be really good too.. Other than that, I really like going here. read more

Very good restaurant even better family. I ordered from here Friday and I'm about to place another order today.

This is my to go to place when I want Colombian food. Their dishes are authentic and delicious. My favorite is the "carne asada".

This place wasn't bad, but there's WAY better Colombian restaurants in Houston. If you want to eat good Colombian food go to Mono's or la gran Colombia. I've had better experiences there. read more
