Caliente Southwest Grill - Costa Mesa

Consistently delicious with generous portions—you definitely won't leave hungry. The service is excellent as well!

I've been coming here for 20 years and fell in love with their Carnitas around the turn of the century! The food and service are always outstanding!

Tex Mex suggests bold flavors, but this place falls short. The fish taco was crispy and okay, but that’s about it.

Your food is fantastic! My Faves are the Blue Moon salad with chicken, the cattle and chicken frogs, the cheese Enchiladas and, of course, the sweet corn cake! Fast, friendly service, very clean and fresh food! You won't feel guilty to treat yourself with this Mexican style!

Awesome spot serving fresh and delicious Tex Mex in the heart of bustling 17th street. Super friendly and welcoming staff which sets the tone for how the rest of your meal will be. The flautas were perfect, delicious rice and beans, puffy tacos are a fun and unique change from the usual, with juicy and perfectly seasoned chicken. Delicious salsas. Off the menu chicken Caesar wrap is incredible, fresh spinach tortilla, delicious ingredients just wow. Totally great down to earth, fresh and delicious spot with equally great people working. Don?t miss it.
