Caliente Mexican Grill in Malden is exactly the kind of local, family-owned neighborhood gem that…read moredeserves all the support it can get. You can feel the pride they take in their food and hospitality from the moment you walk through the door. We stopped in on Taco Tuesday, where most tacos are 20% off. The only exception was the birria tacos--which, of course, happened to be exactly what we wanted. After taking the first bite, we couldn't have cared less that they weren't included in the special. They were absolutely worth every penny. The birria tacos were incredible--loaded with tender, juicy meat, plenty of melted cheese, and packed with rich, authentic flavor in every bite. They were perfectly prepared and easily some of the best birria tacos we've had. If you're looking to support a fantastic local business while enjoying amazing Mexican food, Caliente Mexican Grill should absolutely be on your list. We'll definitely be back to work our way through more of the menu, but those birria tacos will be hard to pass up. Highly recommended!

I went with the birria tacos and was not disappointed! 3 for $15 and came with a side of Mexican rice, some sliced radish and lime wedges. The beef stew to dip the tacos in was tasty and rich. Tacos came with shredded beef and perfectly melted cheese, slammed together with a crispy outer shell and softer inner taco. Yum!

The food is all the same through all restaurants, so you're not missing out by going to one and not the other. Anyway this is easily the best Mexican restaurant in Massachusetts. The food here is absolutely outstanding and as someone who is always craving flavor and authenticity, THIS IS YOUR PLACE!! I don't think you can get a single bad dish here, I always go for the birria tacos, and they were delicious. They were a nice soft crisp taco, and absolutely tender meat inside with cilantro and onion and the side of sauce. YUMMM The service was good! I believe they're bilingual, so spanish and english friendly is really great! The ambiance is also very cozy, you have great scenery all around and paintings and colors. You honestly don't see much of vibrancy anymore in restaurants but this place this holds up which is really awesome. The ONLY thing that was bugging me was the weird laundry smell in the restaurant, it smelt more of clean clothes than food lol. But to be honest it isn't the worst thing a restaurant could have, good thing to have it at least smell good The pricing is also very fair! The birria tacos cost me 12-14$, and my friend got the first brush and a drink for 22$. Give this place a shot if you're looking for something new to eat!! I'll be coming back lol

The Good: I ordered the crispy chicken tacos - DELICIOUS!!…read more We ordered street corn to share - very good! The "needs improvement" section: We ordered the chips and guacamole and salsa. The chips were really hard and thicker than most tortilla chips. They didn't taste like anything to be honest. The guacamole was okay, the salsa was very bland. My friend got birria tacos and was not a fan. She said they were very sweet. The rice that came with her plate was good though. I ordered Churos which are suppose to come with ice cream (says the menu) but it did not. The churo was okay but I wouldn't order it again. Service was slow. Even the tortillas and guacamole took over 20 minutes to get to the table. Server was nice. Not terribly outgoing but nice. We wanted to give this place a try; it was a good one time "tryout".

The steak was seasoned well but pretty tough to chew. Main reason why it's 3 stars instead of 4 though is because we were given sticky cutlery - the knives they gave us had this clear goo on it, like glue or melted sticker residue. So we had to use their plastic cutlery instead. We came here because it was one of the few places that was open at 7am after our red-eye flight in, so the early hours was nice! They also have a couple of tables inside, so we sat there to eat. All in all, if you need a quick early bite, they've got what you need, but don't expect too much in quality. I'm tempted to try the chicharron next time though, because it looked quite tasty in the hot bar, just wasn't sure if pork belly is 7am food...

We tried the bean and cheese arepa, beef enchiladas and birria tacos. All were really good. The arepa was a good ratio of filling to dough.

The complimentary chips come out hot and super tasty. They have habanero tabasco on the table which was so hot and so good! My only complaint is that they did forget my order.. so everyone was chowing down and maybe halfway through their meal before I got my tacos.
