Caldereta's name was derived from the Spanish word caldera, meaning cauldron. The dish is similar to meat stews from the Iberian Peninsula and was brought to the Philippines by the Spaniards during their 333-year occupation of the Philippines.

It also has similarities with afritada and mechado because it uses tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, and bell peppers as its main ingredients.
