Cali Aji Latin Kitchen and Bakery

The mint lemonade is fabulous!! Very close to how the do it in the Middle East!! The service was great with everyone working as a team. I couldn't tell who our real server was we had some many different people helping us. The food and bakery were fantastic. Everyone enjoyed their food and the portions were good sized. No complaints here!

I ordered the Camarones Al AJillo Cali bowl and it was so good. I definitely prefer this over chipotle bowls or any of the other fast food style places. The food was very flavorful and the portion was decent. I will definitely return here to try other things!

When i tell you this is a hidden gem! I passed this place every day on the way to work and one day decided to come in and see. I thought it was a grab and go restaurant but to my surprise its a sit down family restaurant! The waitress and host staff were incredibly sweet and informative. My waitress gave so many recommendations, i didnt know where to start. We ordered the seafood paella and arroz con pollo with regular lemonade and coconut lemonade. Now, i am not a coconut fan whatsoever but i kept getting sips of my fiances lemonade because it was heaven in a cup. The flavors were so good, i got another one to go! My lemonade was refreshing and light but the coconut is the way to go. Our food took about 20ish minutes to arrive but it was completely worth it. All i saw from my servers hands was steam as she walked to us. The arroz con pollo was the best ive ever had. Incredibly flavorful and the steamed spinach was a smart touch. My husband adored his seafood paella and said the flavors blended nicely. Ive been back 4 times already and this meal is a must have!

This was our first time here, and we fell in love. They have three restaurants in one, we ate in and our server Maria was awesome. We had the fried pork loin, yellow rice, veggies, skirt steak, with shrimp and mushroom sauce, yucca fries and tostones, and white rice. You must squeeze your lime over the pork loin and it will be out of this world delicious. The virgin piña colada was soooo good, we had two glasses. Also order your skirt steak medium cooked, and that will prevent it from being chewy. Everything was delicious. We will be back!

The reason I'm not leaving this business any stars is due to their shady tactics when charging. The menu says one price but when I reviewed my receipt & compared it to the menu it was different. They blamed it on "fees the bank charges for paying with a card" We didn't even pay with a credit card. They should state that on the menu not deceive us and then bill what they want. We don't care about paying as we spent nearly $70 on breakfast for a family or 3 but they need to have an honest menu. The only time I've ever paid a credit card fee at a business is when spending less than $5 or $10 and there is always a sign advising you previous to buying. Here are my pictures for proof. Be ware

On vacation and my folks took us to this place for dinner. Omg!! This place was beyond amazing!! The food, the service, all of it amazing! The portion size is huge, the flavors of the dishes were delicious. The ambiance is so nice too, the decor and the Spanish music playing. I plan to go back one more time before we leave. It was one of the best meals we've had out here!

Found this cozy place by chance. Driving around to see what's around my soon to be neighborhood. The food was really good. It was made fresh to order so it took some time. However, the wait was not a big deal due to the great service of our waitress. She let us know from the get go how things were looking in terms of waiting time for food. We appreciated her honesty and always making sure we were updated and good.

1st time impression*** buyer be aware there is a 4% pre tax surcharge to use anything other than cash** note this surcharge isn't posted or noticed on the menu they just spring it on you when you get the bill. 1. Same owner as Cali Viejo in Brandon2. They have Columbian Rotisserie but also have several other non-Colombian options available such as the San Antonio Burger truck. So you get 3 different menus to look thru.Staff friendly and attentiveFood was good. I like a little more seasoning but there was nothing truly lacking.Rotisserie Chicken was juicy and not dry. Whole $12.99Fried Yucca with white cheese slices $6Chicharrón con arepa $5 the chicharrón was plain nothing like the Riverview Fresh Market or Latinos in terms of flavor. Rice and beans bowl (side) $6 nicely doneCafe con leche small $3 strong and not bitterEspresso $2.50 strong and not bitter Water bottle $2 Nestle PureThe complaint. I get the receipt and notice none of the prices matched what the menu said by small bits of change. 13.52 for the chicken that said 12.99. When I asked the waiter is when I'm told oh because you are paying with a card it's a 4% surcharge BEFORE tax to use anything but cash.My genuine question stands....Since when do you pay a surcharge at a sit down restaurant to use non cash payment and have ZERO signage or notice on the menu regarding the fee. Why is it before tax? Why am I paying tax on the surcharge?We opted to pay cash and leave the waiter a better tip. But that is a huge issue for me. There is no reason to charge me this fee. Additionally why are you charging sales taxes on this surcharge fee when overall this is a cost of doing business. I am not actually certain how to feel about this especially since it's not notified by anyone including the waiters until you question your bill. Staff said they have told the owner how customers are upset about this and they have done nothing. This is more upsetting because I'm sure other patrons have taken it out on the staff and reduced their tips.Overall I was having a nice time until the bill came and ruined my mood. Inflation and pricing is already too high for these extra surprises.

Great food, friendly service,nice ambiance!Feel very comfortable there, big booths and TVs,,,

The food is decent, but the prices are noticeably higher compared to other restaurants. For instance, I was charged nearly $10 for an arepa de choco with cheese, whereas I've paid only $5 for the same dish elsewhere. The thought that I paid $5 dollars extra for a slice cheese to be added it's mind blowing. I didn't realize it until I saw the bill. Considering that it's not in the best neighborhood they should really consider their prices, or at least have similar prices to other Colombian restaurants.
