Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Caliente Cab Mexican Cafe is a lively spot renowned for its "best margaritas and fajitas in NYC." The vibrant atmosphere and attentive staff, notably Armando and Jesus, enhance the dining experience. Guests love the generous portions and flavorful dishes, though it can get "quite loud" inside. Perfect for group outings!

    One of our favorite places to eat at in the village !!! Been eating here since 1990’s and have never had a bad experience. Jose is a great server and sitting outside just can’t be missed!

    Caliente cab was a birthday outing for me and it was amazing. They waited until my final guest came to take orders. The food came out quickly, hot and delicious. Every time extra thing we asked for came without hesitations. They checked on us without being overbearing. I was surprised with a free bday dessert that was also delicious. Drinks were strong and great size for the price. Music could’ve been better but we were so busy eating and talking no one paid much attention. Overall 10/10! Great spot food drinks and service.

    Neighborhood gem! Grab a group and share the Gigante Margarita. They have the best chips and salsa, and generously replenish frequently. We all enjoyed our entrees and the tequila selection is legit. Shout out to Evgenia for the wonderful service she provided our group.

    Caliente Cab Company is always consistent. Good food, good service. We sat outside on a beautiful night and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I would not hesitate to return.

    The service was interesting, took a long time. The food wasn’t great at all, including my other guest comment to me about it. One of my guest didn’t enjoy the food, suspected the food was spoil due to the taste and texture. But overall the food wasn’t the best.

    The food and drinks were great. It was loud inside, we got there 6:30.. maybe it’s quiet earlier. should have eaten outside for a quieter dinner. The only thing I have to say I did not think was very good Was their salsa.
