Not Good
Came here a few years ago and swore not to return because of how disappointing it was. Well I did return and remembered why I hadn't come back in years. It is not good. Mini beef tacos were decent, enchalada's nothing special, and guacamole tasted way too much of lime.

Pleasant surprise!
I have been here before, and had come away thinking it was nothing great - at that time, the food wasn't great, seemed overpriced and the service was nothing to write home about. But it was such a pleasant night, and their outdoor seating seemed inviting so we gave it another shot. I am glad we did! They have a new Specials menu that we ordered from, and I LOVED it! The mojito was a good size (though a tad expensive), the salsa wasn't chunky but still tasted good, and the service was prompt and efficient. We made a few customizations and they got everything right. We ordered the chocolate dessert, and that was great too. Overall, a very pleasant surprise!

stop being haters because caliente cab is the real deal
honestly, i cant say anything about their food because ive never had it. but seriously, there margaritas are such a great deal. friday night pregame this should be your spot. and the chips they give you are great. they also have heat lamps outside for when it gets cooler. OLAY!

Never Again!
My friends and I decided to visit this spot solely for the outdoor seating. We split a couple appetizers and we could not even finish them! We could have purchased the same appetizers at Food Emporium and re-heated them better ourselves! We finished a bottle of beer each and ran away - never to return again.

Awesome
Love Caliente....it is a great place to hang out, especially during warm nights. The fajitas and guacamole are to DIE for!!! Compared to other mexican restaurants in the city...this is much cheaper, and you get more food. The food is also better, and the menu has more options. All of the friends that I have referred love this place.

they ruined a good thing
There are no more Checker Fuel Pina Coladas, which were made with 151 rum, and really worth the price of the drink. They said they had a problem with the distributor. So now the Pina Coladas taste like slushies, and you have to pay $2.00 extra for a shot of rum, which obviously is not Bacardi anymore. The Warm Fajita Cobb Salad used to be a large tortilla filled with steak, lettuce, avacados, etc. Now it is a small, flat tortilla , about an inch high. But the prices are all still the same. What a disappointment! We have been going there for years, but we will never go back again.

Why
Congratulations Caliente Cab Co you ruined a good thing. The brunch menu was changed, prices went up, and there is only one drink included in the brunch instead of the 2 which were previously offered. Instead of being a great deal with many options it is just so so because many of the great meals on the brunch menu were removed. We used to go to this brunch quite often and may never go back.
