La Calenda

La Calenda takes its name from a Oaxacan parade that traditionally kicks-off weddings, graduations and other community celebrations. True to its festive inspiration, the restaurant is a cheerful gathering place that fosters a spirit of togetherness. La Calenda combines traditional food and fixtures in a family-friendly environment. Drawing on fresh and artisanal ingredients, and employing traditional cooking methods, the restaurant features dishes from Chef Kaelin’s native Oaxaca while casting a glance across a range of Mexican regional cuisines. La Calenda marries its menu with an ambitious beverage program, punctuated by a full-service bar specializing in tequilas and mezcals, beer, and local wines selected in partnership with the Mexican-American Vintner’s Association (MAVA). La Calenda also offers a number of wines from Mexico, including varietals from the Valley of Guadalupe and the Santo Tomas Valley.
