Caliente Kitchen and Bar — Restaurant in Woodinville

We love this place. The food is outrageously delicious. They often make errors on to go orders. Sour cream is homemade and amazing. This is now our favorite Mexican restaurant by far.

May 2020: Great meal, safe ordering! We will definitely order there again. They took my credit card number on the phone, and dropped the food/drink in my trunk with mask and gloves. No contact at all. We ordered the carnitas burrito, carne asada, chile relleno, taquitos, and 2 margaritas. My son was crazy for the taquitos and rice and beans and chips. I've never seen him eat so happily (or so much!) We loved carne asada! Carnitas burrito was ok. It was all meat, and didn't see the other things included. But I put sour cream and salsa and it was great. I had the Agave Margarita. Yum!! Also ordered Cadillac Margarita, also delicious. They serve the to-go margaritas in canning jars. Salt is on the rim under the lid, I ordered "no ice." I would order w ice next time. 16 oz margarita was just 8 oz without ice. But it was delicious and generous alcohol. I adore the canning jars. You seriously could take home, open lid, and enjoy. Their bar is incredible. They also had nice holders like at Starbucks to keep the glasses from rolling around in your trunk! Glasses cost $1 each, if you want a drink you pay the surcharge. So fun to drink from a jar. 🙂 I will be back for the carne...

We really wanted to like this place. But there was almost nothing about it to like. When we were seated we asked what the specials were and the server pointed at the board and said they are there. The board was pointed out at the parking lot and we had to get up to look at them. Then we watched as someone else asked the same question and the same server had to go to the board and read them themselves. So they didn't know and didn't care to know the specials of the day. Next the margarita on special was so strong you could probably blow fire with it. I like strong drinks but wow. Drinks are supposed to be mixed well and flavorful. These drinks had to sit so the ice would melt to make them drinkable. The nachos el pastor had so much pineapple it had no flavor but pineapple. We got out of there before we ordered anything else. The service was not good, the food and drinks were subpar. We will...

From the moment that we entered the door was opened for us and we were greeted with smiles the invithe environment was clean And everyone was so inviting inviting and happy to have us there as Though we were guessed in their home . Prepared immediately we were served our waters and salsa and bean dip with cheese cheese are menus were given to us right away and the icing on the cake was that the waitress Came by a couple times to make sure that we were satisfied with our food but they're food but not interfering so often that we couldn't have Conversation the chef came to each and every table as we started our meal and as we were in the middle of our meal to make sure that everything was as we desired … then the check came and we were shocked At how affordable it was For the things that we ordered everything tasted outstanding !

Highly recommend! We are now gonna...
