Service was mediocre at best. Service was very bad. If you want solid Mexican food and good service in North Lake, go anywhere but here.I came here a year ago before I started writing yelp reviews and had to write one now because this place was so bad.
Very poor service. Won't go back. My sister and I have lived in the area for over 14 years and visited for the first time. With webcams of the lake, the most beautiful drive around Lake Tahoe, flight deals, weather and the most direct ways to drive and fly to Lake Tahoe. We had just arrived in Tahoe and walked in with no reservation.
We will certainly come back!Came here to try this place out and was excited. This is Covid!Very pleasant service but the steak fajitas did not have enough spice.. they were very bland, just not enough flavour and did not come out sizzling..Every year, our large Family have dined while on vacation at Caliente. Sold us a 16ounce beer in a 12 ounce glass(we knew this because we Also had a 12 ounce beer in same glass) Sangria not so tasty. Absolutely love the care and food the employees provide for you!! We'll be back!Awful service, we couldn't find the front door first of all. By working together we achieve more than by working alone. The food was very good and my husband had the garlic shrimp and said it…""I had never had Salvadorian food but decided to stop by and pick up dinner in my way back to Tahoe. Great margaritas and food! The obnoxious host told us there is an hour wait or more for not having a reservation. We made our way our and will never return.First time here, 1st thing our waitress was rude, and didn't bother to come and ask how we were doing or if we needed anything, 2nd food is very over priced and the small amount of food is not worth the prices. Although the service and cocktails were good, the food was so bad we had to send back 2 of the 3 meals ordered. 64$ for a pitcher. Cost...We had a large group, which the staff handled well. The bar seemed to be a hot spot, and our group consumed several pitchers of one of the signature drinks. Very poor service. The drinks were ok, but nothing to jump up and down about. Don't know why we didn't discover it sooner. I love Mexican food and found the burritos here to be very good. Gave it an extra star because the service was good.Love this restaurant!
small carne asada tacos $8.50 each , not worth it and tasted dry no flavor. 14$ for a kids meal that was smaller than a happy meal at McDonald's. I did a strawberry marg and then a regular house margarita. "Found this place on yelp it had good reviews .
