    The place was way too loud was very crowded. I got hit numerous times while sitting eating from the servers from behind you couldn’t even hear the person across from you talk the food was very spicy not many options for people who cannot eat spicy food and they were rushing to get you out. A lot of the options they have on the online menu are not available in the restaurant was very disappointed

    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.
