La Calesa Steakhouse — Restaurant in Chihuahua

I would highly recommend never going here. I'm visiting with my wife from Texas for the week and really wanted to go somewhere for a fine meal while we were here. By appearance this place had everything I wanted but post experience again I would never recommend going here. To start, they had techno blaring in these small dining area where we were seated. The music made no sense and did not match the atmosphere. I ordered an old fashioned and received something which could not have been further from it. The tortilla soup was okay but bland I then ordered what was about an $80 prime Bone-in ribeye which was supposedly aged. My steak was completely bland and tough. My wife ordered a 10 oz fillet which would have been cooked to perfection had it not been smothered in some sort of spicy marinara. The service was okay, however I found myself looking around for minutes on end. Wondering when a server would come by on more than one occasion. My crepes Suzette was undercooked and left a lot to be desired. Then before I could even stand up from my seat a server proceeded to snatch the cash left for tips on the table and then demanded more money stating we did not meet their minimum 20% gratuity. Never in my life have I ever heard of minimum gratuity on a party of two. I am all for tipping more than what is necessary. However, if service does not reflect, I do not believe in it. The gentlemen's rude attitude and demand for more money (which ended up being very little) Left a sour taste in my mouth and a total displeasure for my evening. For my future trips to Chihuahua, I will not be spending...

La Calesa is known in Chihuahua for being the best steak house. They remodeled the restaurant and moved locations. It is known for its great food and service. It is aesthetically beautiful, however my experience was subpar.

I went to this restaurant with my mom and aunt on a whim. We ordered three different steaks and cream soup. The only enjoyable part of our meal was the soup. My mom ordered well done, my aunt ordered 3/4 done and I ordered medium well. My aunt and my mom’s was medium and mine was well done. My aunt and mom didn’t want to complain but I decided to complain. This guy apparently called “the Captain” rudely took my plate and said he’d bring it back after I complained to him. He was extremely rude.

He brought me back my order and as I cut into it, it was rare. I didn’t eat it, I paid the bill and took it home. I complained to the waiter while I paid my bill and when I got home I called and complained. I complained about the service and the food, frankly I expected better.

In addition both my mom and aunt fell sick later in the evening. After I called the following happened:

They didn’t offer any recompense They apologized They asked if I’d be returning

I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant, I left extremely disappointed and unsatisfied and let...

Let me first say the food is of very good quality. I am sure most people would enjoy the food here. However, it is overpriced for the actual food they serve. Usually, service at these places is incredible. In my experience, it was good, but not as good as other places like Los Mesquites.

In terms of the pandemic, this place offers private rooms you can reserve and eat at. These rooms have a TV screen, and independent climate control, both of which are ideal for business meetings.

Parking is hard to get without paying an extra fee. The restaurant is located amongst a bunch of other expensive places to eat and it gets...
