Caliente

Caliente Our quick-serve Tex-Mex is chef-driven and made fresh in house every day. If you’re craving bold, We do have waiters to make this a full service experience.

Originally Caliente was going to be an “Enchilada House,”a quick serve counter restaurant that would make custom enchiladas right in front of the guest in 45 seconds!!!! The idea was the guest would customize their enchilada: green sauce with white cheese and avocado slices. Then I thought, if I do beef enchiladas, I could do fajitas and I love Nachos, we need those as well. Long story short, we c

reated a Mexican Restaurant that we make everything in our scratch kitchen. We have everything you would want at a restaurant except Ice Cream, because we do not have a freezer. The concept is an open kitchen, the guest can see the cooks making the plates. The restaurant is very kid friendly and very health conscience, most of our sauces are gluten free. We also have a great wine selection that we sell at wholesale price. Most of our wines we sell cheaper than the vineyard !!!! We also support local artist by hanging their art on our wall. The menu is always changing, adding ingredients that are in season. We locally source our produce and meats all from Texas. Some of the awards and recoginition we have received: top 10 places to eat in November (zaggots), top 12 places to eat fajitas in Houston (Culture Map), and 2nd place in a food competition in Savory Taste of Houston. We have been open for almost a year and we are excited for what we can create in the years to come. Come in and ask for me.
