Caliente Southwest Grill inside Northside Cafe

Hidden gem.

My recent visit to the Mexican restaurant was a pleasant one. The atmosphere was lively, and the service was attentive. The menu had a good variety of Mexican dishes, and I particularly enjoyed the burrito, which was flavorful and filling. I'm giving it 4 stars because, while it was a great meal, there's always room for a little more improvement. I'd definitely return for another burrito and the overall enjoyable experience.

I live around the corner, driven by this place for years. So on a quest to try and support more of my local eateries, I've neglected giving this, among others a shot. I finally decided to try it a couple weeks ago and what excellent food this place has! The food is unbelievably fresh and tastes great. Might even give Las Barcas a run for their money. Certainly for breakfast. Menu is smaller I guess, but is diverse for what you want to try and everything is delicious with it's choice of ingredients. Coffee they make is super good too! A lot to be said about the interior too. I really like the vibe and aesthetic all around. Especially for locals. Looks small outside, but rather spacious inside. Lots of comfortable seating in and on the patio. You can even sit at a working Ms. Pac-Man cocktail cabinet. They do have other To-Go menu items, i.e. muffins as well if you're in a hurry. Though, I've never had to wait much more then a few mins for an order. Lastly, staff has been super friendly and happy to help whenever I've come in. Couldn't ask for better service. Have been back multiple times since introducing it to friends and family, all having highly positive experiences.
