We have ordered Caliente (for delivery to our office) many times, and have always been VERY pleased. I'm eating the spectacular leftover cheese enchiladas for breakfast today! I look forward to eventually dining-in at the restaurant.

The food was delicious. A little pricey for the amount of food but its to be expected for the area. I always judge a Mexican/Tex-Mex spot by the enchiladas and these were really good. My rice was a cold coming out and the service was a slow despite only 2 other parties being there.

This place is so cute, we were strolling around and happened upon this place so we stopped in. I'm so glad we did, the server was friendly and very helpful. My mixed drink was fantastic, the Chips were perfect and light, and the salsa was absolutely delicious too! Everything we ordered was fantastic. I had the Caliente Quesadilla Burger and it was so good and huge!!! I could only eat half, so, I took it home and also ate for lunch the next day. We will definitely be going here again soon!

Great service and great food! We purchased a platter of chicken and fajita for our staff and everything was delicious. The home made corn tortillas are the best. Will definitely recommend to friends and family. On top of good food they also have a bar to enjoy a nice margarita or a cool beer. Thank you for the good food.

Rocky start to our happy hour Thursday night for 6. We arrived at 4:45 pm with absolutely no one in the restaurant, not even a server. The guy behind the counter could not serve drinks, but finally got us some water. He brought chips and salsa to the table pretty slowly, but he did make up for that by bringing free queso, which was delicious! The server finally arrived. He was making a delivery. He took our drink order and brought 5 of our drinks to the table, but then forgot our 6th until AFTER the food was delivered. There wasn’t a since of urgency at all. Halfway through our happy hour drinks and appetizers, and table of 2 arrived. It seems there was a food prep person, a cook and a waiter. That’s it! To top it off, our waiter seemed to be training the other guy. I felt kind of bad for him. The margaritas were very weak, but the food was delicious! I’m giving 4 stars because. I think we just caught them on a really bad night. We all got different items off the menu and all six of us loved our food. Maybe the drinks will improve by our next visit. The location is convenient, they have a couple small patio chairs with umbrellas and if you arrive early enough, the parking is good. The HH prices are terrific and I think the service has great potential if the one veteran guy (7 years) can get decent help.

Everything is a little spicy but just right. My husband ordered the chicken Verde, which is delicious, especially the lime cilantro rice. I ordered a lunch special with seafood as a substitute, and the chipotle added a kick to it. The overall ambiance is pretty nice and relaxing as well.

We had the combo fajitas. They were great. Our waiter said they recently had the full bar put in and they’re looking for opinions on how their drinks are being made. This is your opportunity to swing by and help groom these folks into top tier servers! Again, the food was great, the drinks were good and the staff is very friendly!

I'm not normally a fan of Tex-Mex, but this place is AMAZING. The flautas were literally the best I have ever had in my life (pro tip: dip them in the queso), and the service was excellent. The restaurant and bathrooms were also very clean which was comforting. If you find yourself in the area definitely stop by, you'll be glad you did.

Came here with out of town family for lunch. The food was tremendous! She loved the tortilla soup and mixed green salad. I really enjoyed the burrito! The food tasted very fresh and was hot! I will be back and bring more friends/family!
