Good selection of food and drinks. Great sangria and prickly pear margarita. Wonderful setting and service, Happy customers. Everything was delicious for a late impromptu dinner. Even the chips and salsa were awesome, light and crisp with a well balanced tasty salsa, I did enjoy the consistency of the salsa, different from most places I go to, and I liked it.

This is the second time we come here this week. The service is outstanding and the food is great at a very reasonable price

Hands down the absolute worst wanna be Mexican food I have ever had.....and this includes Taco Bell. I started off with a "Happy Hour" draft beer with chips and their rendition of salsa and it was $11. I thanked God that the beer was made elsewhere because 7eleven salsa is better than the tomatoe sauce I had there. Being a chef I would seriously never recommend this place to anyone. My dog who eats droppings at the dog park refused to eat Caliente leftovers.

Great place for Mexican food as the service was great, waiters friendly however the drinks need a little help. I ordered a Latte and it was exceptional ❤️ definitely worth the visit.

Great location for lunch/ dinner. Ambience is great. Service was alright. Food, well, not so great. Chips were super salty, salsa was like tomato paste. I ordered the shrimp fajitas, was hoping for large fresh shrimp, but these were straight out of a freezer bag that was meant for ceviche or something. My man ordered carne asada that was clearly bought next door at La Mexicana’s carneceria. To make it even better, they didn’t bother cooking the meat all the way!! Very disappointing after a long day of driving and snowboarding. We told our waiter who kindly took it back to the kitchen only to arrive 2 minutes later with a new plate. Seems like they just microwaved the plate. The manager came up to us and rudely said “is your meat cooked all the way now?”. First of all, if you knew how carne asada is supposed to be cooked, you would know that it’s supposed to be cooked well done. If you’re looking for pale carne asada, small pieces of shrimp, and salty chips…. This is the place for you!
