Service was not good- just not staffed properly. Took a while to get servers attention for food orders/bill. Took 15 mins just to get a server over when we first sat down. Food was good, but the taco tower is only sold mon-wed, which was the whole point in going and they didn’t have it

Making a reservation on OpenTable was the best thing I could’ve done to eat here, there was a line of about 30 people out front and we got there 10 min before our slot and was sat within that time. The Mezcalitas were banging , guacamole fresh and the blackened shrimp in the sizzling fajitas were slapping. Plus best Elote (Mexican Street Corn) I ever had in my life. I really want to go back. The only thing I will say is that it was pretty busy so they forgot our appetizer we ordered with our drinks but it was steady with our main meal after that. Go you won’t regret it!

My first large drink was delicious ; I don’t know what happened to the small version- tasted like pure juice. & the red salsa that comes with the chips use to be delicious!!! & this time it tasted the water. The location that closed was my favorite 🙃 but the server was amazing bc it was slow at 530pm on a Saturday so I guess that made up for it.

They need to work on their hospitality. I understand how serious it is to check people for their covid vaccination card but the two men at the entrance were very rude and yelled at me as if I could not hear them because I am wearing a mask ? Honestly, if it wasn’t for the fact I was meeting my friend for my bday dinner, I would’ve left and went to another place . They were extremely rude and when I finally showed my card and my I.D they kept asking me if I made a reservation when my friend was already seated in our table and checked in….. I will not be coming back unfortunately because of the service. As much as I love the food, the service at the entrance was just too much to deal with.

It was a good experience but felt more like something quick as if we were sitting at a bar and getting quick appetizer to eat .. towards the end of us finishing up it felt as if they were rushing us to leave I don’t think that was the case but that’s definitely how it felt .. I would go again just for something quick not a actual dinner situation

I'd been to the Caliente Cab Co Restaurant some 14,15 years ago with a friend and enjoyed myself, so I decided to go back to celebrate my birthday this year with family. I made a reservation so seating was quick and easy. While the food could have had more flavor to it, the drinks were everything we expected and more( looking at you mango margarita!) and the service was great. My highlight was them realizing my birthday was that evening and singing to me and bringing churros for a light dessert, without any prompting. Thank you!
