I drive twelve minutes through stop and go traffic to get there, and find I have enough time to eat, have seconds, and get back to work before my allotted lunch hour has turned into a pumpkin. Yeah, life is good.
The next thing to hit me is the price. Try lunch, Monday to Saturday from 11 am to 2 pm. For the $6.95 admission price, the cornucopia opens and the "Non-stop Fajitas" start to flow like... Okay. They don't really flow, but they are hot, relatively inexpensive, and great.
The reason: Simplicity.
No fancy spritzing or flashy "too good for a display case" add ons. No parsley. The person who designed the PR campaign for parsley as the ultimate garnish should be strung up by the toes and forced to eat his way out of a canyon filled with the stuff.I hate gushy reviews. The reason is simple. It sounds insincere to just go on and on about how good a place is, but the fact is I have very little negative to say about Caliente's. The fact is the food is excellent, the price is wonderful, and the service is top notch. The only thing that keeps them from getting a perfect rating (And trust me, I had to look for a while) is the fact that I have had some fajitas that were a little dry, but nothing that wasn't remedied on the reorder.
Let's face it, Caliente means hot. This is one place that lives up to it's name. Living proof, I try to make it by there weekly, sometimes more frequently. If you stop by, say the turtle sent ya. They won't know what it means, and it won't qualify you for a discount, but I love to instill a little chaos in everything I do... and I may be listening from the next table.
