Great food, including the king burrito and the queso. Got it with the chicken (loco dip) , def recommend. The Texas margarita is excellent and well worth it. Pleasant experience, we ate with family and friends and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm picky about salsa and really liked there's, especially mixed with the queso!!
If you crave authentic Mex-Tex (a mix of both cuisines but more Mexican than Texan), this Carmel restaurant is for you. The food is superbly seasoned and prepared perfectly for taste buds that appreciate a little zing but not so hot as to overpower the fantastic flavors. My spouse grew up ion this kind of menu and says this is as good as anything in Austin or San Antonio. We recommend every single dish here.
We chose the right restaurant for Cinqo de mayo ! This place is located in 116th in Carmel . We ordered a jumbo Texas margarita (28 oz) and ONE was enough for me ! They had a special price for Cinqo de mayo :) For food I ordered Acapulco special which had Grilled chicken fajitas, green peppers and onions cooked in a special creamy sauce with lettuce, guacamole, diced tomatoes, rice and tortilla . I also got a side of beans with it . It was full of flavor and not too spicy for me . I tried the CAMARONES A LA DIABLA but that was very spicy for me so I can't say much about the dish. Overall this is a good setting for some delicious Mexican food . Our server was super nice and friendly and too great care of us . PS - since this is the first time I visited this place and checked in on Yelp I got a coupon for 10% off which I showed to the restaurant staff . They asked me to have it printed to be able to use it so I couldn't redeem the offer . Just an FYI if you experience the same.
Food was good! We came an hour before close which I try to avoid, but unfortunately needed to stop in with my sister getting into town late. There was a funny smell when we walked in, the bathrooms are located at the entrance of the restaurant and I think that may have been the issue. Our server was patient with us. The strawberry marg with sugar rim was great and just the right amount of tequila. I'd be back, honestly every bit of the food we had was good, they were generous with the chips and salsa too.
Had a great experience at Caliente! Very clean and fun restaurant. Food was delicious. Service was a bit slow, but not terrible. Would definitely go back!
Best Mexican food I've found in the area. You get sooooo much food for what you spend. Got the guacajete and were shocked at the amount we got. Chips were fresh, tacos were hearty, fajitas had tons of toppings. Left very full and happy with our service. Only thing keeping it from 5 stars is limited patio seating. Definitely will be back here.
Great food and speedy service. This place was bigger than I expected and pretty busy. Food was great and they are known for their huge margaritas/ pitchers. Will definitely come back again !
