Kalin's Mexican Food — Restaurant in Oranjestad (city)

Best place to come for BAD service!!! Came here for lunch at 2:00 and was seated by the man cleaning tables. When a server came over we asked him about happy hour which we had heard about previously and he said yes for the “house” drinks. We ordered a house margarita and a house mojito around 2:15 along with our food. We got our food and then our server turned into a ghost and we didn’t see him for just shy of an hour. When we did see him walk past the bar carrying a plate of food we assumed he was serving another table and then would be over to us shortly. This man sat down at a table and starting eating meanwhile no other server has come up to us and we’ve been done eating for about 20-25 minutes…. The man cleaning tables had to tell one of the other serves to come over and help us and we immediately asked her for our 2nd drinks (as per the happy hour special) and then the check. At this point it was just after 3:00 and when she finally brought our drinks and check over she charged us for all 4 of our drinks when we should’ve only been charged for 2. I explained that we had been there since 2:00 and hadn’t seen our server again so maybe it was a misunderstanding; however she said that she couldn’t take the charges off. She tried telling me that since we ordered our 2nd drinks after 3:00 we couldn’t get the special and I said well we haven’t seen our server since he brought us our food over a half an hour ago so how were we supposed to order our second drinks??? She then proceeded to take off 1 drink and we paid for 3. The only thing decent about this place was the food (which was still overpriced) and the man cleaning tables who seems to be the only competent...

Vibrant Setting & Tasty Tacos: My Kailin's Experience

Kailin's Mexican Food offered a fun and lively atmosphere with friendly staff and charming decor. It was great to see they had options for different dietary needs, like vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free.

Highlights:

Delightful ambiance: The vibrant setting and decorations made for a pleasant dining experience. Tasty tacos: I enjoyed the tacos - they were flavorful and satisfying. Delicious guacamole: The guacamole was definitely a highlight - creamy and fresh. Varied dietary options: Appreciated the availability of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free choices.

Room for improvement:

Burrito: While the nachos were great (as captured in our photo!), the burrito's tenderloin wasn't quite as expected. Gluten-free knowledge: While they offer gluten-free options, staff knowledge about gluten sensitivity could be improved. It's essential to understand it includes not just wheat but also barley, rye, and malt to ensure guest safety.

Additional notes:

Be aware that Kailin's includes a 15% gratuity in the bill, so additional tipping is not necessary. Overall:

Overall, Kailin's Mexican Food offered a fun and vibrant dining experience with delicious tacos and guacamole. While the burrito could be improved, and staff knowledge about gluten-free options could be enhanced, it's a decent option if you're looking for a lively atmosphere and...

I have come here for drink a few times in the past. But finally came here for dinner after renting a condo nearby. I can’t believe I never ate here before! It was so good! We walked in and were immediately seated. The inside was under construction at this time so there was only outside seating. It was warm out so I wish they had better fans or at least all the outdoor fans on. Our waiter, Zion, was incredibly friendly and attentive. We ordered sangria and it was fantastic. For food we had the guacamole and ceviche to start which were both very nice. For dinner we had a quesabirria, enmoladas, tenderloin tacos and the alfredo pasta with chicken. All were amazing. The mole on the enmoladas tasted warm and comforting and the portion was large. It came with rice and beans as well. The tacos were tender and flavorful and the alfredo was a surprise hit. It was some of the best I have had and I’m not even a fan of alfredo sauce. But the best was the quesabirria. The meat was so flavorful, the portion was big and the dripping it came with just brought it all together. I highly recommend Kalin’s and I will be going here every time I...
