This was my second try ordering from these folks, and sadly, my experience with Caliente has not been so hot. Each time we've picked up a to go order, the restaurant has been empty. Clean! But empty, which may mean folks flock here for lunch or takeout.This trip, we spend $70 on beef fajitas, a beef fajita bowl, queso and tres leches to go. The fajita bowl and beef fajitas were ordered as two separate meals but when they arrived, the containers were not labeled and looked identical. After requesting beans in separate container (as there was no option when ordering to remove them or indicate allergies), we found that the container we assumed to be fajitas separated the refried beans but left black beans in the container meaning bean or bean juice coated every part of the meal.I'm not a big eater, but I breezed through the 2 tortilla included in the fajita meal, which called for 3-4 (but maybe 2 tortillas is standard for a to go fajita meal that feeds 1-2?)Additionally, the fajita meat and veggies looked as if they've never touched a grill. Amidst the chewy texture, and mildly seasoned, there was no familiar char/Smokey grill flavor to be found. Although the fajitas were a hard miss, their queso blanco offered a bit of reprieve. Mild in flavor, it's heavy on the cream. The accompanying chips are delicate and little chunks of onion and jalapeños or green Chile come together to create a whole greater than the sum of its parts. Easily, this item was the best part of this meal. Stand by, (apart from the fire queso), it seems like this Caliente is still warming up!

It has literally LITERALLY taken me 1 month to write this review because i was left absolutely SPEECHLESS by how this cheesy-beef- perfect balance of pepper and spice and mmmh mhmmm EVERYTHING NICE left me feeling some type of way! i have gone back to Caliente TWICE in the past 30 days to feast on this magical quesadilla burger, with the queso as an appetizer because...let's be real, cheese is the way to my heart. There aren't enough good things to say about the food here The service is a little bit slow for a place that isn't busy but oooohhh lovies it is so worth the wait No need to even look at the menu. Matter of fact no need to sit inside. Just call in your order and pick it up ASAP because you'll be wanting to eat in the car like a little rat creature with your pants unbuttoned so you can be full send slob after eating this gooey warmth of deliciousness You're welcome.

Very good food, very good service. Very casual place--kind of a quick place to grab a meal, clean, but not real cozy or "romantic".There is a small bar area. The waiter was very friendly and professional. Light and bright place. The food was nicely plated and great tasting.

The fajitas are really good! The meat was juicy, the flour tortillas are handmade, and the beans + guacamole have sm flavor.

It's ok. Nothing special. Salsa is chipotle. At least offer a free traditional one. They wouldn't let me add shrimp to traditional fajita combo. But would make another Caribbean plate that was similar (but less fajita fixings). The seasoning distracted from shrimp. Didn't even finish them. The peppers and onions were undercooked for my taste. I am not a fan of crunchy fajita veggies. The guacamole was so so. They had a shrimp appetizer that was good and is what saves them from 2 stars.

Wow - what a shock. I just wanted some decent Mexican food for delivery and we were blown away. I remember my hubby asking me while eating "Where is this place? It's really good" And that's for delivery y'all! We made a pack to go try it in person now!! But I know who I'll be getting delivery from now on from! Caliente for sure! And I should have taken photos - it was packed up so well!*Salsa flight - I truly liked them all*Texas Raised Skirt Steak Fajitas - drool**Grilled Fish Tacos - man's choice*

We had the BEST experience with a private event for a milestone birthday! The owner Justin was extremely accommodating with the set up and details that went into planning the party, even taking pictures for us throughout the evening. The waitstaff provided exceptional service and the food was incredibly delicious! Our guests never had an empty glass throughout the night. We were also able to play our choice of music and a video throughout the night. If you're looking for the perfect venue to host a private event, I wholeheartedly recommend Caliente!
