This has been my go to restaurant for months now, I've ordered multiple meals multiple times a week.. However, recently in the last few weeks the orders I receive have gone down hill. 90% of the time I order a steak option we receive chicken?!?! Which makes no sense. And the portions are at least half of what they used to be.. I rather pay extra for the portions they used to serve. I'm not sure if it's new owners, a new chef, or what's going on but something has changed. And unfortunately, after giving multiple opportunities when receiving the wrong order, they've lost a loyal customer.

I stopped by since I was near by doing business. it's been around 5 years since I last eat here, and I want impressed. The restaurant had a dirty water smell and the food was dirty. when I paid my bill, I noticed I was charged for two coffees, so I asked why? the response was that because I asked for a refill, I was charged for another coffee... I couldn't believe the response from the waiter because my refill wasn't even a full cup refill...absolutely crazy!! at least tell your customer that you charge for a reill...I definitely will not be back. to many other choices.

Delicious food and excellent service! It was our first time eating here again since 2018/2019 and it was delicious as ever! I ordered the Bistec Salvadoreno and my husband ordered the New York Steak. Both of us were very happy with our meals! The staff was also very attentive to our needs. Our children even left the restaurant with two little toys to play with that their host/server has given them to entertain them. There is not many places where one can feel comfortable as a family with young children dining without judgeful eyes, and we felt safe and "at home" here. Very much a family-like environment and looking forward to dining here again.

Food is okay but don't expect to get the same amount of food that shows on pictures. They even count every chip they gave on a shrimp cocktail.The food is not that good and don't expect theSame amount of food in photos. They even counted every chip in the shrimp cocktail.

La comida no está tan buena y no esperes el mismo monto de comida como en las fotos. Me contaron cada chip que me dieron y cuando pedí más dijeron que ya me habían dado el monto que tenía pero el cocktail no estaba ni lleno está más bien medio vacío. Food was okay, don't expect the same amount of food as the pictures, they count every chip on the plate. I asked for more and they said that they already gave the amount I was suppoust on the plate. Tbh the plate felt half way empty I will put my money somewhere else.

Some of the best Salvadorean papusas around! I love this place! They are also unique in having more ala-carte options in smaller portions- great for kids that are picky eaters.

The Salvadorian / Mexican provides home cooking type dishes for an affordable price. It has a decent selection which includes seafoods steaks and chickens, however sometimes the meats come out a little dry. However if you stick to their specialties of pupusas and other Niche dishes then you should be in the clear for a good meal at a good price.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kaliente, a delightful Salvadoran restaurant that serves an array of mouthwatering dishes, including their famous Pupusas. From the moment I stepped inside, I was transported to El Salvador, surrounded by warm hospitality and the irresistible aroma of traditional cuisine.The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the Pupusas. These handmade corn tortillas filled with savory ingredients such as cheese, beans, and succulent meats were simply superb. The balance of flavors and the perfect texture of the Pupusas were a testament to the culinary mastery at Kaliente. Each bite was a delightful explosion of taste that left me craving more.While the Pupusas stole the show, the menu at Kaliente offers an extensive selection of other delectable dishes that should not be missed. From the fragrant and robustly seasoned tamales to the flavorful yuca frita and plantains, every item showcases the authentic flavors of Salvadoran cuisine.The service at Kaliente was impeccable, with a friendly and attentive staff that made me feel like a cherished guest. They were more than happy to provide recommendations and share their knowledge of the dishes, ensuring that my dining experience was nothing short of extraordinary.The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, with tasteful Salvadoran decor that added to the overall charm. Whether you're seeking a casual lunch or a memorable dinner, Kaliente's relaxed atmosphere is the perfect setting to enjoy the rich tapestry of Salvadoran flavors.
