Came in a few weeks ago and the food was ok but by the time we left we were so annoyed- there was only one guy in the front and he may be the manager or something I don't know but we were friendly and still he was just looking at us like the scum of the earth. We sat at the bar so I know I didn't get a "top shelf" margarita and I certainly didn't ask for one, but I was charged for one plus a $3 credit card fee. The guy was creeping us out with the evil look so we just paid and left without fighting about the margarita. Then last night we went to my FIL's house who ordered a bunch of food to go and when he picked it up said the same thing- there was just one guy in there with a bad attitude. Get home and they didn't put any of the dipping sauces that come with our our appetizers and for multiple frozen drinks they didn't send a single straw- just was not a good experience due to poorly trained staff. For the second time in a row. Would not recommend visiting Caliente unless they fix their training issue.

Love calientes! We tend to always lean on this place for our Pokeno nights. They have a room off to the side that is perfect for private parties - we have almost 30 people every time we play. Happy hour is always great! They have amazing margaritas with tons of flavor options. Everything on the menu is great - you can't go wrong! We always end up with the quesadillas and the buffalo chicken ones are amazing. The service is extremely quick too.

They have great good! The queso is great, and their salsa is always fresh! You definitely need to go for their Sunday brunch! It is a must!

I really want to like them more. The guys in our fam love the brisket tacos. Ive tried a few things that are just ok. No flavor in the beans or rice at all. Beans dumped straight out the can, maybe a tsp of cheese on top.I love the idea (& price) of the brunch buffet but its opened from 10-2 & most are done w/bfast by then. Id def go if it was held earlier, esp so we can go before church.The srvc & decor is always nice. The tabletops nvr feel super clean and your feet stick to the floor...every single time! Makes me question how clean they are with the food if they dont care to clean things we clearly DO see. I understand sometimes you cant help but to raise the price of food, but you can keep a cleaner establishment, esp w/the staff standing around.Id like to keep giving local biz but I think they can step it up, for sure.

I dined here alone for the first time and wasn’t disappointed. I was greeted and seated within a matter of a few minutes. My server made me feel comfortable. My server offered great eye contact and was knowledgeable of the menu. My food didn’t take longer than 15 minutes to get to me. My brisket and Mac n Cheese tacos were filled with flavor and were filling.The drink was okay. Their frozen daiquiri machine for the second time dining here wasn’t (frozen) drink was more watery than usual. Other than that I had a great experience and would dine here again.

I swear i didn't get to order the food those jerks got us a booth gave us chips and salsa and didn't bother to ask us what we wanted to drink but the ambiance was good though they played music and i enjoyed listening to it

Joan Powers

The food was decent. Our server completely ruined this experience. From over sharing things about himself to an argument in the front of the business with another coworker. Everyone can hear that. I won't be going back.
