It isn't often that you have the chance to visit a restaurant that serves Cajun, Caribbean, South Carolina low country, Southwestern and Thai all on one menu. You're even less apt to see all of these items presented with an ample dose of spice. Throw in a great selection of microbrews, some Hank Williams Jr. and a Texas roadhouse-style ambience, and you've got "Caliente."

"Caliente!" seemed to be the perfect match for Richmond in the summertime.

I frequent Caliente probably 1-2/week. You can call me a regular. And honest to God I have never had a bad meal there. In fact I have never had a meal that was less than delicious. Their menu is down home southern with a modern twist. They have a large collection of beer from all over the world. I would highly reccommend Caliente to anyone who was looking for a good meal at a reasonable price!

We went here to try something different and we were sooo disappointed! The 'special' we ordered was sooo SPICY! At no point was it indicated that the meal would be that spicy, I ate about 2 bites of my entree and couldn't go any further, however I was advised it wouldn't be taken off my bill and I would have to pay full price for another meal. The side items' served with the meal were unrecognizable sans the white rice. Terrible food, horrible customer service-NO THANKS!

The menu if different from most restaurants in Richmond. I have never had a meal I didn't enjoy. Good service, too. I only wish they served bread with the salads.
