Aaron A.

Good solid Mexican food in the heart of Newport RI. Walked into the store and ordered a steak burrito. The ordering process is similar to Chipotle where you can build your own burrito/tacos. There is no additional charge for sour cream or guacamole and the order comes with a side of chips. You can also ask for salsa on the side to see what spice level you would like. The Mexican rice is more of a yellow bland approach and the refried beans do not look or taste homemade but the steak was tender and flavorful. The service was a little disorganized but sufficient. The interior is more basic so would recommend to go orders.

Loaded Nacho Fries
Matthew A.

The loaded chicken fries are an absolute must-try. it's generous enough to share but delicious enough you'll want to keep it all to yourself. Whether you're in for a cheat day treat or just something satisfying and indulgent, these loaded chicken fries deliver on every level. You a load them with whatever you're craving and if you don't pay attention you'll walk right past this place.

Chips and Salsa

Absolutely delicious and fresh food! We enjoyed lunch at Caliente today and everything was perfect. Service was friendly and efficient behind the counter. The menu had plenty of choices and wow, it was delicious and very reasonably priced! It's on Thames street, near Wally's Wieners and across from a Public parking lot.

Do you not put cheese on your quesadillas? This is the second time I have had a pork quesadillia delivered without cheese?

Probably the best cookies I've ever tasted. They had a variety of different cookies.

If you're in the Newport area, I'd highly recommend it. Just an FYI - it's a tourist area so parking was tough for us on a Saturday afternoon.

As soon as I walked in, I could smell the aroma of freshly baked goods. I thought this was a good sign that I was about to eat some damn good cookies. They only have classic flavors like chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, peanut butter, snickerdoodle, etc. I expected more variety, but oh well. I bought three for $7.50. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either. For the price, they were tiny and thin! They could have been a lot softer and chewier. I expected more from a place that advertises their main product in their business name. Look at Chip City, Insomnia Cookies, and Crumbl. Honestly? I've had better from the bakery sections at ShopRite and Costco. Other than cookies, they sell a few other pastries like brownies, muffins, and cinnamon buns. They also serve breakfast sandwiches until noon. There's a self-service coffee station to the side. I'm being a bit generous with 3 stars. I don't recommend this place unless you want to pay for overpriced, mediocre cookies.

The place seemed to be older so the door was stuck and staff had to come struggle to open it. Inside is typical of ice-cream shop with counter and the cooler with different type of gelato/sorbet. They have variety of flavors and some interesting one like Dubai chocolate, mandarin and Maine blueberry. They do let you try if you ask so if you are not sure you can ask to try them. I ended up getting large just so i can try different flavors and it's also just $1 difference from each size. I ended up getting Belgian chocolate, peanut butter browny and chocolate chip affogato flavors. They were all very tasty. I was impressed by the Belgian chocolate as it was super rich chocolate flavor i was looking for a while. Service was good but the staff did struggle with the door and had issue with credit card reader too. Maybe should be more ready for customer when they open. Overall i still liked their gelato and would be a good stop for frozen treat in Newport.
