Caliente Kitchen and Bar

Caliente Kitchen and Bar in Woodinville has a fun atmosphere and tasty Mexican food. We didn’t order fajitas but there looked delicious, so we’ll have to try that next time. We loved the wings though! Also, the service was fast and friendly. Overall, a solid spot for a good meal—would come back!

The food was good, I really liked the salsa - just a bit on the spicy side. The drinks were also good but seemed a bit small and not very strong - served in the shaker with a ton of ice. The service was definitely lacking, considering they weren't busy. Not very attentive once our food came.

Eaten here once, I was the only one in my group that got food poisoning.

Took my children here for “lunch” during their Happy Hour on a chilly Saturday afternoon.

My son had their chicken enchilada and crispy chicken taco. Ordered I Queso Fundido and Barbecue Wings which I shared with my daughter and my son.

The food was good. Paula was such an attentive hostess and server.

Happy Hour is one of the best times to go there because the price of food is much lower than Lunch or Dinner…

…and the restaurant isn’t crowded, so we got fast and superb service.

Their breakfast food is no where near as good as any other breakfast place locally. The pancakes are mushy soggy and overall taste disgusting. The meats are cooked in a weird oil or something that makes them taste weird and oily. The hash browns are horrible and super plain and are undercooked. Overall I would not recommend it for breakfast, and maybe their other food is better. The only good food we got served was the chips and dip at the start, where the bean dip was good. I now see why it was empty when we got in.

I recently discovered this fantastic Mexican restaurant, and I’m glad I did. The fish tacos were packed with flavor, striking just the right balance of ingredients. However, the real standout was the chicken salad—healthy, yet incredibly delicious. I’ll definitely be returning to explore more of their menu.

Some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. Authentic while being the sort of food you'd eat at a five-star hotel. Very tasty.

I absolutely LOVED the food! It all tasted so good. I like that they also give you bean dip with your chips. The salsa has just the right amount of spicy that I love. The staff was great at providing recommendations for a first timer like myself. I can’t wait to go back and try more stuff from their menu. They have a large selection of items to choose from.

Food, Service and Ambiance were all good. They were the only ones open late around the area so, 5 stars, it is!

Best Mexican food in Woodinville. I've been here numerous times for lunch and dinner with my wife and little kids. Everyone is always very friendly and helpful.

Excellent food for a good price. Very friendly and attentive servers. Nice selection of items on menu and even a breakfast menu. I had the shrimp burrito and was pleased with the amount of shrimp it had in it. My friend had a Taco salad and it was very delicious.
