Caliente Mexican Grill Malden

Firstly, I cannot say anything bad about the quality of food here. I have been consistently coming in since January and it has become one of my favorite spots for not only myself but family and friends that I have shown this place to as well.
However I am extremely disappointed by the customer service. I am never greeted and am often just ignored when I come inside which I wouldn't expect to receive this type of service as a regular patron but never took personal since some places just aren't friendly. This was until recently when I walked in and was not greeted as usual and then shortly after me a white male customer walked in and was greeted warmly. I am extremely disappointed by that interaction as a consistent supporter of this business. I cannot in good conscience continue to come here if all patrons are not treated with the same respect regardless of our race. Please be mindful of how you treat your customers as we are all here to equally support you so we should all be treated equally as such.

Flavor bomb. Only place I’ve seen on the east coast with wet burritos on the menu. Most people do takeout they seemed surprised we were eating in. Clean place. Friendly staff.

Went back last night and got the dinner combo. A ton of food for the money and super tasty.

I’ve never been in the store so I can’t speak on the environment, but I cannot recommend this food highly enough.
We ordered from a few Mexican places before finding this one and it is phenomenal. We’ve ordered multiple times and have found our favorite dishes and get the same thing every time now. The food has never been cold and always tastes perfect. I’m especially happy that they serve both birria tacos and refried beans, because the other places we looked at only had one or the other.

Terrible customer service absolutely will never ever recommend this location to anyone. Needie is very rude and should be fired does not know how to treat customers.

We used Caliente Mexican Grill Malden to cater an employee event. They delivered the food to site and were very professional. Food was fresh and hot and we had plenty leftover. The menu was easy to plan and they were very communicative. We would choose them again for catering services.

Authentic Mexican fast food. A variety of different options and relatively fast and healthy.

Gotten the birria and street tacos from here a few times now which are phenomenal and reasonably priced but I was inclined to write a review after ordering the Caliente Dinner Combo. Perfect meal. Employees are all kind and the food is ready quick.
Didn’t realize they had 7 other locations, you know they’re doing something right!

Delicious food 🤤

delicious, fresh mexican grill. eat up

I’ve overlooked this place for far too long! Everything I ordered was delicious!! And not too expensive either.

Good Mexican food and very nice staff. The chicken trorta (pollo asado) was great!

I went there for the first time to pick up some food because I was doing a delivery at that time. I can tell the inside was calm and clean. There was a girl there who was very patient and nice. After I dropped off my delivery, I went back to get some tacos because I love that place and those tacos are so delicious.

My boyfriend goes to Sky Dental which is a few storefronts down, from this place (for context he is Honduran). He had told me he saw this restaurant and wanted to try it out. BEST DECISION EVER! Their food is absolutely delicious, which offers so many different options and we’ve personally have tried a few different menu items and have NEVER been disappointed. The portions are HUGE, the food is delicious, and there’s so much to choose from! I’m also a huge fan of their horchata which is super tasty! Highly recommend, such a great spot for great food and luckily it’s pretty close to my house so even when my car was in the shop we were still able to walk there from our house! Highly recommend, such a great place!
