" Decided to try Calentano based on multiple recommendations, and I was pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere was lively, albeit a bit crowded, but the food made up for it. I had the pollo asado, and my friend had steak fajitas. Both were seasoned well and had great presentation. The staff seemed a little overwhelmed, but they still managed to provide a good service overall. I could definitely see myself returning for their $1 tacos nights! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Calentano expecting a lot because of the reviews, and I was not disappointed! From the moment I walked in, I felt the friendly and inviting atmosphere. The food was delicious, and I particularly loved their salsa and chips. My only concern was the wait time for the food was a bit longer than anticipated but the meal was worth it. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes from this wonderful place! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a fantastic dining experience! My friends and I came in for dinner last weekend, and we were all amazed. I started with the chilaquiles, which were incredible - flavorful and perfectly cooked! For my main course, I had the lengua tacos, which were tender and seasoned to perfection. The ambiance was lively, fostering a sense of community that is so delightful. We faced a minor issue with our order being delayed, but the staff apologized sincerely and took the time to check on us regularly. Their dedication to service was evident! Overall, if you're craving authentic Mexican cuisine, look no further than Calentano. I will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Calentano was a delightful experience! The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and welcoming. I ordered the carne asada tacos, and they were simply the best I've had outside of California. The flavors were vibrant, authentic, and the portions generous. Every bite was packed with deliciousness and reminded me of my trips to Mexico. My friends loved the enchiladas and the plant-based options were also impressive. The service was efficient, and our waiter was attentive without being overbearing. I can't wait to return and try more from their extensive menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Being a lover of authentic Mexican food, I can say that Calentano has become a top contender for my new favorite restaurant! I was immediately impressed by the cleanliness and decor upon entering. The food was incredibly fresh, and their take on guacamole rightfully deserves a round of applause. Staff was quick to provide service and checked in on us multiple times throughout our meal. I tried the specialty burrito, and although I found it a bit too large for one sitting, I didn’t mind! It's a treat to have such large portions and a diverse menu. " (*Curated Review*)
