Casa Calderon — Restaurant in San Gabriel

Under new management: Decided to revisit this staple after the old management had retired and sold the business hoping that they left their recipes and secrets with the sale. I can say confidently that they did not. While they still use the building, decor and menus, that’s where the similarities end. We got both the el dorado and tostada goodie and neither were anything like the old versions. The el dorado came out looking promising but once you started to eat it something was off. The sauce poured over the top was not the same as the old version and some of the included ingredients were missing from the inside of the burrito. Also the chicken inside was over cooked and did not taste fresh and the sour cream tasted spoiled. As for the tostada goopie, it also had changed to be now about half the size for the same price. Before you had a tower of food on top of a freshly fried taco shell but now it’s essentially an overstuffed taco that was not folded on a plate drizzled in sauce. We had high hopes that it would live up to the history of dining I had experienced for years but unfortunately this was not the case.

Under old management: Been coming here forever and it never disappoints. Tostada goopie or el Dorado are the way to go if you're hungry. Great tacos as well. Try not to fill up on the chips because it will be...

OPEN AT 6AM*

I was very excited to try this restaurant for the very first time now that they are open at a convent time of 6AM. Perfect for a guy like me who just got off a graveyard shift. The place seems to be under new management. Being the first customer of the day, I had the pleasure of getting to meet the proprietors of this place and they were very nice people. They seem very eager to deliver a personal level of service and eager to listen to honest opinions that can help improve the level of service and quality of food to the level of the customer's total satisfaction. I enjoyed the service and food during my first of many future visits. The owner said something that really impressed me before concluding my first vist.. “Come back, consider this place like your home!” I highly recommend that you try this down home restaurant and give them your patronage, honest feedback to make it successful in making it your hometown restaurant like I have just done. It is very hard to find places like this, who deliver such great and a personal level of...
