Cafe Caliente — Restaurant in New York

After getting my order today, I remembered why I stopped ordering from them. 1- the food looks nice BUT IS FRESH. NO TYPE OF SEASONING WHATSOEVER, not even some salt. 2- their prices are all over the place. I called to place an over the phone based on their prices on google. Everything was $3-$4 more. When I asked why, I was told the prices on google is old. OK, so update it then. 3- I’ve never eaten there but it’s so small inside who’d wanna. Now I have $25 worth of food I bought for lunch that I will no go home and recook and add some seasoning. I mean ITS FRESH. They didn’t even give me a container of sour cream. Just a jar of hot so, like tf I’m supposed to do with that. There’s no dish I’d recommend, I’d suggest Dos Toros...

Went here for lunch because it was close to work. I got the standard rice, beans and chicken with a drink. Food tasted ok but it was way too expensive and the serving size was puny. Upon finishing the meal I had to go to another restaurant to get something else to supplement the meager meal. It was my second time visiting this establishment.

I should have learned my lesson the first time. There are plenty of other restaurants in the area which provide good food in satisfying quantities at a reasonable price. The servers here are not very friendly and display disinterested...

man i’m all for supporting local small businesses, i’ve been coming here for literally years like 7 years. but the prices just got so expensive. a plate of hot food from the buffet used to be 7$ then 9$ then 11$ during covid, now it’s 13$? I think today might be my last time going. I swear they charge the construction workers that swing by and regular neighborhood people different prices. 13$ for a plate of pre prepared buffet style hot food is crazy. it’s good, but certainly not 13$ good. OH and on top of all of that they charge extra for tiny little containers of hot sauce that are standard at ANY mexican take out joint. Come on guys, you lost a customer of 7 years. Save your money and head over to...
