    Birria tacos
    Clara M.

    We are weekly customers of Caliente! They are so much better than chipotle. The food is always fresh & the portions are generous - especially the burritos. The service is excellent! I can't say enough good things about this establishment. Some of my favorite menu items: birrria tacos or quesadillas, Tijuana salad, burrito bowls

    Tacos

    First time trying the food here. They were part of the RIfoodfights tacos mania. The tacos were amazing. Tried the 007 and loved it. Staff were friendly. #rifoodfights #besttacosri

    Build your own bowl
    Anna L.

    This place was very small but cute. There wasn't a lot of seating. I decided to build my own bowl and it was kind of like Chipotle style. The service was quick in and out. The bowl was delicious and really filled me up. I would say this place is just as good as Chipotle and everything tasted very fresh. I would recommend!!!

    Fish tacos and street tacos
    Sarah H.

    Amazing food, great service and great prices. The fish tacos are so good! Highly recommend

    two tacos in a styrofoam container

    Probably the best food option on campus. Prices are good and they give you a lot of meat!! Grilled veggies are amazing and have a lot of topping options. Burritos, tacos, and quesadillas are done so amazing that I haven't gone to a Chipotle for over a year because it just doesn't measure up to Caliente

My husband and I got the honey pepperoni pizza, and it was very delicious and huge pretty spicy too! We were able to take some home! My brother got a pulled pork burger, and he really liked it with his fries. Pretty sure he also got loaded fries. He enjoyed it so much he didn't leave not one crumb on his plate, lol. My cousin also got a hamburger and fries, and she thought it was delicious! They also got beers, and everything was pretty good and fairly priced. When I'm around this area, I'm definitely going to come back to this location due to the food itself. Location: This location is huge, and it had inside and outside seating with lots of tables! It's pretty casual, more so a sports bar-type of setting. Pretty nice to bring family and friends to grab a bite or even go on a casual date. They also had private parking, which makes things a lot easier! Service: Service was great. Our waiter was super nice, brought everything in a timely manner, and asked if we needed anything, very attentive. I'm usually not around this area, but when I am, I'm definitely going to stop by to grab a bite here!

I got a small house salad with grilled Mahi Mahi on top (no salt added). My husband got the soba noodles and a side caesar salad. Mine was good and perfectly made, I devoured my entire Mahi salad. My husband's noodle dish was very salty...something to keep in mind...the good thing was that the noodles were soba, so they were mostly buckwheat flour, which is better for you. Overall a nice relaxing dinner and our server was very good, and prompt.

The restaurant has some patio seating as well as a smaller inside dining area. They have their flavored lemonades as well as their traditional baked goods, sandwiches and salads.

Let me paint the scene for you: I walked in with the noble goal of ordering a simple broccoli cheddar soup in a bread bowl nothing outrageous. As I approached the counter, the cashier didn't greet me. Instead, she glared at me like I had personally insulted her grandmother. I asked, politely, if they were still serving soup. Her response? A single word "Obviously" followed by the slowest, most exaggerated eye roll I've ever witnessed outside of a soap opera. But it didn't stop there. I ordered a green tea. The barista threw the cup on the counter so hard it bounced, and when I asked if I could please have a lid, she sighed like I'd asked her to rewrite the Magna Carta. Another staff member nearby whispered under her breath, "He looks like a lid kinda guy," followed by laughter. What does that even mean? Then brace yourself my buzzer went off, so I went up to grab my food. The manager, who looked like she was on her third existential crisis of the morning, yeeted the entire tray onto the pickup counter and yelled, "WHO ORDERED THE BASIC?" Everyone turned to look. I was the only one there. The sandwich was wrong, the soup was cold, and the bread bowl looked like it had been hollowed out by a raccoon with anger issues. When I politely asked for a new one, they handed me a raw baguette and told me to "figure it out." As I sat down, a toddler from the next table looked me in the eye and said, "You should've gone to Chipotle." I did. And it was glorious. Never again, Panera on Old Tower Hill Rd. Never. Again.
