God I love this place. I have ordered from here 4 times. I've had Birria, street tacos, fish tacos. It is always fresh, delicious and hot. Ive eaten in the restaurant once it's nothing special, like a fast food atmosphere, but the staff who take orders are so happy and prompt. Definitly my go to for satisfying quick food.

I went to Caliente for the first time today and was blown away. The food was outstanding and the portions are huge. The crew made me feel genuinely welcome. Fantastic experience overall!

My family of 5 went there at 9pm last night after my son’s graduation. I was so happy with everything in this restaurant. The staff was courteous and attentive. The food came out quickly and was amazing!! The best Mexican I have had in the states, definitely comparable to Mexico! Other folks must had had the same idea to go to Caliente late at night following the graduation of Newbedford high because the place got very busy with families and the staff worked so hard to accommodate everyone. This place is the bomb and I’ll definitely be going back. Thank you Caliente

I went here with a friend today, and I am very impressed!! The food is delicious (I got the birria tacos and my friend got a bowl) and inexpensive with great portions. The restaurant itself is very nice and has a cozy atmosphere. The service was particularly standout. It is rare to have such a friendly, kind staff.

I'm always skeptical when I eat at Mexican restaurants. The spices are usually what turn me off. I was very pleasantly surprised by the food at Caliente. I got a Quesabirria, their specialty quesadilla with tender marinated beef, and I was sent to heaven. ❤️ The lime and decadent beef juices they serve alongside the meal enhance that mouthwatering experience. A 10/10 meal. Went back for burritos later in the week. The food is absolutely worth the price. Highly recommend trying once, if not frequenting on a daily basis.
