Stomach is in so much pain
After a challenging five-mile hike on the Cliff Walk, we were ready for a huge, rewarding meal, and this was the perfect spot! The portions were massive and everything was absolutely delicious. Both the steak and chicken were expertly flavored and cooked perfectly.

These guys are a Providence classic, consistently serving up delicious food for VERY reasonable prices-- indeed, they are holding the line for the common man in this town-- $11 for an awesome (one meat) build your own burrito? Can't beat it. Thank you, Caliente, for being so reliable over the years. You guys rock!

Would choose over Chipotle every time! So many options. Ordered quesabirria--very generous with meat & cheese, grilled to perfection, tons of side condiments (s cream, pico, guac, corn). Fast & friendly service & the food is made fresh right in front of you. Beautiful wall murals for a nice dine-in experience.

Although busy, not sure why. The salsa was watery and had no flavor, basically red water. The refried beans had a wierd after taste. The chips and queso cheese were good! I would not go back!

I got the enchiladas the portion was big and really good looking forward to eating the rest tomorrow. The chipotle chicken inside them was nice. The sour cream guac and salsa were plentiful — thank you!!!! The refried beans were especially yummy ! I would just suggest more sauce on top of the enchiladas. Good value overall.

How I opened Caliente through door dash. Maybe walk in instead? ........🤮inedible
The food here is fantastic - high quality and FAST, at very reasonable prices. The staff is always sweet and relaxed and very on top of things, even when they are simultaneously serving a lunch crowd and getting together a massive catering order. One of the best Thayer St options, any day!
Told me it was a 20 min wait for wings and fries and I waited 45 minutes and
‘Twas a dreary Wednesday night. I felt completely defeated. Nothing had gone as planned. In my despair, I began to realize that I was hungry. I was in need of NOURISHMENT. I wanted Mexican food but I had already had Baja’s that week and Chipotle is jUST TOO EXPENSIVE.
Suddenly, as I scrolled through the options on Uber eats, I saw “Caliente Mexican Grille” wedged between Chipotle and Baja’s. This was a restaurant I had overlooked until THAT NIGHT. I decided to give it a try. I ordered the birria tacos and a fajita quesadilla. The beef was flavorful and abundant in juices. The taste left me wanting more but my tummy was satisfied with just the three tacos.
I then decided to partake in my quesadilla which was also EXQUISITE. This is my new go to restaurant to order from. I love love love it! It saved my life ❤️ and for that, I will always be grateful. Thank you Caliente Mexican Grille. You have restored my life force. I am now STRONGER THAN EVER.
