    Caliente is BOMB. Their loaded quesadillas give me a reason to go to school everyday. The staff is always super friendly and their menu has things that similar chain restaurants don't (BBQ chicken, refried beans). Also, sometimes they have brownies and those are yummy too.

    Update: just had Caliente as a super senior and tears filled my eyes bc i forgot it was so delicious

    Caliente is delicious.  Their salads are my absolute favorite, especially the Newport Tostada Salad.  It comes with a mini-cheese quesadilla which is always a nice touch.  The dressing for this salad is liquid heaven, seriously.  It's some type of cilantro lime dressing.  The salad portions are huge, and it's super hard to stop eating because everything tastes so good. I also love their salsa, it's incredibly fresh. Their buffalo chicken quesadilla is also something to order if you're not trying to be healthy.  Their refried beans are some of my favorite around, they are a little chunky in texture which I love.  The staff there are always nice and they do their best to get people their orders in a timely manner.  It is a busy location so lunch rush can be tough.

    Under new ownership and the new guys are great. They picked up off of the old menu but made some desperately needed updates as well as many new more authentic additions like chimichanga enchiladas and churros. New owners salsa recipe  is 10fold better than the old one and it's easy to note that they just pay more attention to their ingredients. Also they're carnitas street tacos are a must. Like for real you need to get them.

    This place is so white it makes Chipotle look authentic. Mediocre Burritos that have no relation to Mexican food.
