About Caliente Mexican Grill

Caliente Mexican Grill is a small but charming spot that offers quick service and delicious, filling bowls similar to Chipotle. The atmosphere may be crowded, but it provides the best tacos and burritos for takeout. They have options for vegetarians, including gluten-free corn tortillas and vegan veggies. Located in the URI complex, it's a pleasant surprise for college students seeking top-notch Mexican cuisine.

The restaurant has received positive reviews, with customers praising the creative menu and high-quality ingredients. One customer enjoyed the "Pipeline" burrito, which features grilled steak, rice, grilled pineapple, onions, mushrooms, sesame seeds, and teriyaki sauce, calling it "one of the tastiest burritos" they've ever had. Another customer raved about the tacos, particularly the "007" taco, and commended the friendly staff.

Customers have also highlighted the generous portion sizes and the fast-paced service, noting that it's not a sit-down restaurant due to the limited space but still offers delicious Mexican food that's far from "fast food junk." The restaurant's queso has also been a highlight, with one customer stating it was a major factor in their decision to attend URI.
