La Casa Del Caballo
Every Friday for a dozen years or more, Carlos would fire up a large barbecue in his spacious backyard in Saltillo, Mexico, and start cooking steaks.
Soon, that yard was full of neighbors, friends, family …
La Casa Del Caballo … a fine Mexican steak house with a passion for fire-seared beef and a love for traditional dishes from the heart of northern Mexico.
