" I had heard great things about Caliente, so I decided to try it for a private event. It was a mixed experience. While the food was delicious and the catering staff tried their best, there were a few hiccups with the order accuracy and timing. The pulled pork tacos were fantastic, though. I guess managing larger groups comes with its challenges. Overall, I would recommend considering them for casual dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love everything about Caliente! From the friendly staff to the delicious food, it's hard to find a place that consistently delivers a satisfying meal. I had the beef fajitas recently, and they were cooked to perfection. If you're looking for a relaxed dining experience with authentic flavors, check this place out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Catering from Caliente was a delightful experience! We ordered several dishes for our work event, and the feedback from colleagues was overwhelmingly positive. The chicken fajitas stood out, as did the queso. I appreciated the attention to detail in preparation and presentation. Will definitely consider them again for future gatherings! " (*Curated Review*)

" While there's no doubt about the freshness of the food served at Caliente, my latest visit left me wanting more in terms of variety. The menu is good, but I would like to see a few more options. The service was quite attentive, even during busy hours, which was a plus. All in all, a great spot for casual dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" Caliente is definitely one of the best Tex-Mex spots I’ve been to! The flavors in their dishes are amazing, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. I ordered the quesadilla burger, which was a unique spin, and I loved it! The only downside was the time it took to get seated, so arriving early might be a good idea. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to Caliente a few times now, and I keep going back. The atmosphere is bright and fun, which I love. The staff is friendly, which makes it even better. The empanadas were the highlight of my last visit; you could tell that the dough was freshly made, and the filling was delicious. My only complaint was that the wait for the food was a bit long, but it was definitely worth it in the end. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I had a great dinner at Caliente! The waiter was friendly and helpful in navigating the menu. The queso was a highlight, and my shrimp enchiladas were fantastic. I love that they use fresh ingredients. The atmosphere felt lively and perfect for a casual night out. Definitely adding this place to my favorites! " (*Curated Review*)
