The menu if different from most restaurants in Richmond. I have never had a meal I didn't enjoy. Good service, too. I only wish they served bread with the salads.
Pros: Menu
Cons: None

The food I ate at this restaurant was terrible. I ordered a po' boy and it was tough. I ended up not finishing it because I disliked it so much- and I was really hungry too.
Pros: location
Cons: food quality, service

We go to Caliente just about every week. The specials are always fresh, creative and , most importantly, delicious. The stuffed jalapeno poppers are great because they are fresh jalapenos, which means that they are HOT jalapenos. The pina colada bread pudding and the frozen chocolate goo are the best desserts anywhere in town! The sandwiches are not your run of the mill bar food. In short, we love this place! CALIENTE ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!
Pros: fresh, creative food, nice ambience, great beer selection
Cons: must smoke at the bar

I looked forward to eating at Calient. Unfortunately the food quality and taste was poor. I ordered the coconut crusted shrimp and only ate one. The batter was thick, gooey, and overwhelming with the flavor of coconut. It tasted as if they had dumped imitation coconut into the batter instead of using real coconut. My sister ordered the jalopeno poppers which were ok but very very hot, which I liked but not expected since so many jalopeno poppers are served mild in hotness. A big disappointment overall.
Pros: title of restaurant
Cons: food, service
