Best

Last weekend I was out with my wife and was looking for a place to east. After doing a search on my phone I came across caliente cab. My wife and I were very happy with the food ...

Worst

Food wasn't good, or authentic. It is nice to sit outside on a sunny day and watch people go by though Pros: sidewalk tables, inexpensive Cons: food

Pass 'em by 8/5/2007

This place was an overpriced tourist trap anyway, but progressive people are swearing them off, ever since Caliente ejected a black lesbian woman on the day of the 2007 Pride parade, then refused to acknowledge the problem or apologize. Pros: kitsch, location Cons: homophobia, sexism, arrogance more

BEST PINASCOLADAS NYC 8/4/2007

Its a nice places to bring friends .Always a nice service >they have the best frozen pinas coladas ...Great Burgers...Seafood is great ! I Higly Recomended best location is 7th Avenue Pros: Drinks are very strong ask for your free glass of caliente cab they never tell you but you are paying everytime you order tall glass drinks nice souvenier more

worst experience ever 4/25/2007

I've never had a waiter roll his eyes at me before...that is, until I ate at Caliente Cab Company. Worst service I've ever had anywhere, ever. Cons: Attitude!!! more

Worst Experience at a Mexican Restaurant EVER 11/10/2006

i dont even know where to begin. my BF & i were looking forward to eating here, what with the big cup on the side of the building and all. i had to ask for our water twice and ordered a bowl of guac as soon as we had sat down. after asking for this twice as well, it didnt even come until we were taking the last bites of our entrees. and even then, it tasted like celery. (wtf???) i specifically ordered my entree with no rice, and what do i find on my plate, but a sh*t ton of rice. i called the manager over and explained our predicament and told him how unhappy i was. he offered to take the guac off of our bill. whoopdie-do. and just to show how much they cared, they brought me out an extra bowl of rice. what a bunch of morons. the managered should have comped the whole bill for us. definitely wont be going back there. more

Atrocious Customer Service 8/4/2006

Lemme start with this: This place was horrible from the moment I arrived. I have never waited 1 hr and 15 minutes just to sit down (let alone in 90 degree heat). OK so we had about 15 people, but somehow they couldn't find a seat for us for over an hour. They wouldnt accept reservations either (maybe they should from now on since they can't find seats for certain parties). Then after we were seated we ate dorito chips for about 35 minutes before we were able to even order. Somehow they forgot about a table of 15! The food came another 30 minutes later! So to sum it up we arrived at 7pm and didn't eat until 9pm! And the food wasn't all that, in fact there was no that. I ordered their steak and asked for medium rare. Apparently they had no clue what the hell that is because it came to me looking like they just got it from the slaughtering house. It was redder than hemoglobin. On top of that I got sick from it and walked home looking like a cripple because my stomach was cramping me. Their margaritas are big but weren't the greatest either. Unfornately that might've been the best thing on their menu. Oh and when we were eating their dorito chips at the start we asked for a refill. Somehow the waiter must've have got lost because the refill didn't come until 15 minutes later. How hard is it to fill a bowl with chips and bring it back? Need I say more bout how bad this place was. I have no clue how someone can go their twice. And thats all I got to say about that. Pros: Margarita (Even this wasn't all that great) Cons: Abominable Service, Food is not cooked right more

BAD! 8/1/2006

The margaritas were mediocre, expensive and small. The food wasn't horrible, but just ok. The value was non-existence. Pros: ???? Cons: Staff more

Could the staff be any more hideous??? 3/30/2006

I used to enjoy cominng here - but it seems this place has really gone down hill - fast. The only saving grace was that the food was cheap & fast & the servers were decent - meaning - they looked clean & reliable. Now - your lucky if your server doesnt look like they just came here in an inner tube - sorry - but its pretty bad when they have to get the bus boy to translate ""Can I have a napkin?"" Also - I really dont think you should pay extra for chipolte sauce when you simply ask for it on the side!!! ALSO - I tried the 3rd Ave location - it was actually WORSE than the 7th Ave loca. Pros: none lately Cons: Staff, Decor, quality more

Top Shelf 12/18/2005

Good food, great atmosphere, awesome bartenders, and the best margaritas this former Texan's ever had. Pros: food, drinks, atmosphere Cons: small bar area more

User review by davidsonlucy 12/9/2005

We had a fairly dismal experience dining here this evening. The music was too loud, the DJ was constantly and repeatedly announcing names and advertisements for the restaurant, and we had to seek out the host ourselves. As for the food, the fajitas tasted as though they had been roasting on a grill that hadn't been cleaned for six months, and the tacos were grossly misrepresented (much larger than I were told) and encased in a stale corn shell. We won't be returning. more

$13 for What? 6/10/2005

$13 for a slushie machine margarita in a souvenir glass? I would have never ordered it if the price was on the menu. We also weren't given the option of ordering one in a regular glass. Bad food, inadequate service, smells like a tourist trap to me. Don't get caught in it. Pros: location, outdoor dining Cons: bad food, hidden prices, poor service more

very fun place on weekends 6/4/2005

I have gone to Caliente many times and its alot of fun.the food is great and the drinks rock!If you want something great I recomend their checker fuel and if you are hungry anything from the specials menu will make your day. Pros: drinks, food, service more

Leave it for the tourists 3/4/2005

You should be able to tell from the moment you see it but this is no more than a tourist trap. The place has a great location outdoors during warm days but that is it. You'll have to wait for a seat and will be greeted with bland, overpriced food. more

Where mediocrity and attitude preside. 5/22/2004

As this place ages it gets worse. Bland food, arroganrt waiters. Thank god there are far better Mexican restaurants in the hood. Cons: , Nasty waitstaff, Indifferent managemen more

tourist TRAP 2/25/2004

I went to eat at this place because my cousin said it was good. But it was a complete rip off. The food is awful and the chips are stale and salty! The drinks cost $13 and thats because you get to keep the souvenir glasses...which are sooo not worth it. I highly recommend that you NEVER eat here. We were charged extra for the parmesan cheese! more

Not bad 9/3/2003

Margaritas were great, the food was good. It was not bad, it was average. more

One of the best..... 7/25/2003

Places to hang out add get great Mexican food without the grease!! Strong drinks....Outdoor seating......When you want some fun food and drinks w/out attitude look beyond the cheesy taxi and go!! Pros: Food/drinks, Inexpensive, cute Cons: Decor more

don't even try it! 3/18/2003

i went to caliente cab co because their margaritas got such great reviews. from the margaritas to the food, it was by far the worst mexican restaurant in new york. the margaritas cost $13 each and had no tequila and no taste. the food was terrible. total waste of money. Pros: location Cons: bad food, lousy atmosphere, overpriced more

Best Brunch Deal in the City! 2/19/2003

I always bring my out of town guests here for brunch on a Saturday or Sunday morning and to this day they all continue to rave about the place. Three free frozen margaritas and delectible Mexican food. You can't go wrong especially on a gorgeous summer morning when you can sit outside in thier patio section and people watch. I once sat right next to Bjork. Too bad some people confuse this location with then one on Waverly. Completely different atmosphere. Pros: Prices, Margaritas, Location more

Good Food 12/16/2002

I have been to this restaurant many times and I have always enjoyed the food here. The drinks are bit expensive but hey who goes to a restaurants for drinks. You can go to a bar later on. Another good thing about this place is you can sit outside in the sumer time (ofcourse). Thats always nice. Overall I would recommend this place at least once. more

Good Atmosphere but Expensive 11/26/2002

I liked the feel of the place overall, but the drinks were super expensive and the bartenders barely spoke english and had no concept of buybacks. more
