never going back again!

We just visited Caliente for the first time- and it was definitely the last time. We thought we would try something different, but our experience was such a disappointment that we won't be making a second trip. First, the lighting is so dim, that we couldn't really read the menu or see the food we actually ordered. We chose the black bean quesadilla for the appetizer, and it was so so. I had the the mesquite pork chops and for some reason there was a burnt fish taste to it, the braised greens looked like they were from a can and smelled rotten. My boyfriend chose the jerk platter and the chicken was pretty spicy but didn't have any taste other than charred. The rice was cold and too sweet for taste. The service was pretty good, and although I sound like I am such a negative Nancy; I was pleased with our waitress. We ended up taking our food to go after a few bites and went home and ordered Chinese food.

• Cons: pretty much everything

Never Again!

We went here to try something different and we were sooo disappointed! The 'special' we ordered was sooo SPICY! At no point was it indicated that the meal would be that spicy, I ate about 2 bites of my entree and couldn't go any further, however I was advised it wouldn't be taken off my bill and I would have to pay full price for another meal. The

side items' served with the meal were unrecognizable sans the white rice. Terrible food, horrible customer service-NO THANKS!

• Pros: 0
• Cons: Food!
