Caliente's Mexican Food, San Diego, California Restaurant Details

Food:

Favorable food. Fair prices

Food:

They have the best carnitas. Good carnitas is hard to find in San Diego. The prices are great and very reasonable.

Food:

The food here is very good and fairly affordable. The portions are a decent size. The quality and taste of the food is superb. Their menu has a wide range of choices, from the standard tacos, burritos, rolled tacos, etc. But also enchiladas, tamales, tortas, and my favorite, the carne asada fries. And there are also shrimp and fish on the menu.

Prices are affordable. I would say they compare to Roberto's, Sombreros, or your other neighborhood Mexican burrito/taco place.

The downside is the size. There is a small corridor where you line up to a cashier to place your order. Then it's out the side door to wait or you can go find a table. During the lunch rush, there is always a line out the door. You can also call ahead and place your order.

Food:

Great tasting food. Just a tad bit pricy but you get what you pay for. The quesadillas and tacos were LOADED with beef. Highly recommended.

Food:

Food was great! expect to eat outside, but there is plenty of shade. I had the california burrito. it comes with guacamole, which is a plus! the carne asada was tender and good! price was right.
