If I were to provide my top 5 favorite restaurants Caliente definitely ranks at the top! You cannot go wrong with anything you order on the menu. Shrimp quesadilla is absolutely amazing! Their chicken tastes heavenly and is of high quality. Their poblano sauce is so delicious. I could keep going on and on, but truly you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Also, don’t miss the specials! The owners and servers welcome you in just like family and are very attentive in their service. They definitely take pride in their restaurant and it shows! I love supporting this local spot and highly recommend it to anyone looking for delicious food!

The service is great. The food is really good. I ordered the fajitas. You get a lot of chicken and I like that they added zucchini. The tables are facing away from the television and the bar isn’t really a bar you can sit at and enjoy happy hour. Other than, great place to grab lunch or quick dinner. Also, the breakfast burritos look pretty awesome.

Damn. This place was solid with the carne asada bowl. The carne asada had so much flavor perfectly seasoned . Perfect portion. I was able to go back to work and not feel all full. Can't wait to try something else

Wow!! Stopped here randomly on the way out of town and was not let down. GO HERE NOW! Authentic and friendly with amazing food. The vibe is cute and it’s a sit down place. The food is AMAZING. Actually. It is THAT good! I recommend the Poblano Shrimp Plate — it’s a special and if they have it you should get it!! The shrimp quesadilla is good as well. Flavours are fresh, tasty, and I’ll truly crave this when I’m gone Thank you Caliente for a great meal!!!

We ordered the cheese dip, Carnitas plate and sopapillas. We also had a Mexican Donkey( a mule with tequila). Our server was ver vice and made sure we had what we needed. The restaurant is small and full but we were seat quickly. We really enjoyed our meal and will return.

Hands down the best Mexican food in the area. Mostly a made from scratch kitchen and the food is simply delicious. Seating fills up easily, but it is worth the wait. Breakfast burritos and fajitas are my favorite. Don’t miss out on grabbing a churro (only good if you eat it right away, no saving for later) and their chips.

The food at Caliente Mexican Grill was authentic, and the service was fantastic and friendly, and the price was right on the mark for an up scale restaurant with plenty of parking. The Caliente Mexican Grill is right for a romantic dinner, but maybe not so much for a sports bar. I would recommend Caliente Mexican Grill for a nice lunch or dinner.
