" Disappointing experience. I visited Caliente after hearing all the buzz, but I found the food to be rather bland. My enchiladas lacked any real flavor and were somewhat dry. The service could have been more attentive as well. The only saving grace was the bright decor and atmosphere, making it a pleasant place to be in. Maybe I just ordered the wrong dishes, but I wouldn’t rush back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, I was very impressed with Caliente. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and they had a fantastic menu full of classic Mexican dishes. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they were just delicious, the shrimp cooked to perfection. The service was prompt and friendly. My only critique is that the dining area was a bit crowded, but the food definitely made up for that. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality Mexican fare! " (*Curated Review*)

" Caliente offers a great deal when it comes to authentic Mexican food. The tacos were fantastic, and you could really taste the spices in each bite. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. A little bit of a wait for a table, but worth it once we were seated. I will certainly be back to try other dishes as they had a wonderful selection! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem Caliente is! I had the opportunity to visit for a quick lunch and found the menu to be extensive. I settled on the burrito and it was huge! The flavors were authentic, rich, and truly enjoyable. The staff was quick to take my order, and the food came out in a timely manner. It was a great pit stop during my busy day, and I can’t wait to return to experience more of their offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Caliente was quite pleasant! We were greeted right away and seated without a wait even on a Saturday evening. The menu offered a variety of options, including some unique items. The chili rellenos I ordered were good but lacked spice, making them a bit bland for my taste. However, the fresh salsa and warm chips were a great addition to our meal, and dessert was delightful! The atmosphere was bright and cheerful, perfect for a family night out. I would recommend it to others for a casual dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a decent dinner with friends here last week. The ambiance is cheerful, but the food didn't quite match the expectations. I ordered a chicken burrito, but it was overly salty and not as fresh as I had hoped. On a brighter note, the chips and salsa were incredible! I'd say the service was quite good as well, and I did enjoy the environment overall. I might give it another shot for a different dish next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon this restaurant during a family outing, and I was delighted by the variety on the menu. The options stretched far and wide from classic dishes to newer interpretations. I ordered the carne asada and was pleasantly surprised by the tenderness of the meat. What I appreciated most was the friendly service, which was attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere felt welcoming, embodying the spirit of a family-oriented restaurant. I look forward to returning to try more of their offerings. " (*Curated Review*)
