La Calera Mexican Bar & Grill

I was very impressed with the food here! The queso was hot, the salsa was tasty, the chips came out hot. The food was very fresh! We will definitely be back.

Great restaurant! The quality of the food & service has improved greatly since the new owners took over the location. Try the new chori-pollo!

Good food, friendly staff, fantastic margaritas!

It was ok. The drinks seemed pre-made. The server was great. The atmosphere is kinda .. cheesy

La Calaera serves up insanely amazing, authentic Mexican and Central American cuisine, with two vibrant locations in Baldwin and McMurray! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm, welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and—best of all—homemade chips and salsa right at your table.
The Baldwin location features a gorgeous central bar and plenty of cozy seating, conveniently located on Route 51. Whether you're there for happy hour, lunch specials, or a full-blown dinner, this spot is a must-visit!
The menu is expansive, with something for everyone—from classic dishes to bold, flavorful favorites. We tried the Mexican street corn (grilled on a stick with butter and seasoning—so good!), and the queso fundido with house-made Mexican sausage, which packed the perfect amount of spice. The homemade guacamole was a huge highlight!
Their margaritas are next-level—highly recommend the frozen strawberry and lime on the rocks!
For entrées, the fajita burrito with steak was stuffed with juicy meat, lettuce, pico de gallo, and melty cheese, all wrapped in a soft flour tortilla and served with rice and more lettuce. The quesabirria was a showstopper—tender birria-style beef folded into cheesy tortillas, served with a rich, savory broth for dipping.
And just when we thought we were too full—dessert happened. The fried ice cream had a crispy golden shell and creamy vanilla center, topped with whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, and a cherry. The flan was smooth, sweet, and absolutely decadent, finished with a perfect layer of caramel.
From top to bottom, La Calaera was a 10/10 experience. Authentic flavors, welcoming vibes, and seriously unforgettable food. Don’t walk—run!

You have to check out this new restaurant in the South Hills area. The food & drink were authentic & portions were good. But the best part was the price. We highly recommend and will be ordering out or dining in again soon.

Delicious food and Great service 👍🏻

One of my favorite places to eat. The BEST Mexican restaurant in the area and always great service and a very welcoming atmosphere. I love this restaurant!!! The food is so good.

Outstanding staff and awesome food and drinks at a phenomenal price. Make sure to make La Calera one of your regular spots! And, their takeout is an awesome option to grab on your way home from work...just order online before you leave!

This has become our favorite restaurant. The staff is so welcoming and friendly! The food is amazing. They also have healthy options like wheat tortillas and they’re so good. This is definitely the place for comfort food.

The food was really good, and their prices are cheaper than a lot of other Mexican restaurants

Had driven by here a few times, and wasn't clear if it was open or not. They open at 11AM pretty much every day. So glad I went in! What a great deal and what a great meal!
