Really Great Mexican & Mod Decor. Caliente Cab Co caught me by surprise. Their food is really good. The guacamole rivals that of Dos Caminos and is better than Rosa's. The salsa that they give you is really tasty with just hte right amount of spice. I had the chicken quesidilla which was really good. The decor is modern, trendy and spacious. They have a great brunch special where for $10 you get a spanish-style breakfast and 2 cocktails.

Awesome cheap margs and enchiladas!. I LOVE this restaurant/bar! The margs are amazing (wonderful happy hour prices!) and the enchiladas were delicious (and I had enought leftover to have for lunch the next day!) mmm! This was the best Mexican and margs I've had in a long time.

Excellent Food, Obnoxious music. I ate here on a saturday night around 6:30 PM. The atmosphere was ok. The lights are dimmed and there are tvs all around, but the music was blaring. I went there with a party of 6. DO NOT ORDER THE CHIPS AND GUACAMOLE!!! You will unknowingly pay an extra $15, which is ridiculous since most restaurants don't charge you for bread. Anyway, we ordered our food and within 20-30 minutes we received our food. I ordered a burrito, which I highly recommend. The specialty drinks are really good, too. The entrees ranged from $10-$22; appetizers were $7-$16. This is a good hang out place for a hipper crowd ages 17-40s. Older people won't like the loud music and lighting.

Excellent food and vibe. I took my mother here for her birthday and absolutely loved it! The brunch was delicious and they offered 3 free margaritas as part of the meal. Drinks sneak up on you so watch out. Staff was friendly and welcoming. All in all a great little spot in the village.
