Great food ... great service with a smile. They have a burger called the Chucho Burger... I have to admit GREAT CHOICE... nice thick burger with all the fixings... I would highly recommend this to EVERYONE!!!

amazing food and great staff and the cook is awesome

Spent my day at the restaurant for “Wacky Wong Wednesday” and I was flabbergasted by the Honey Chipotle wings as well as the Spicy Garlic wings…. They are to DIE FOR! Stop in and check them out! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

I love the food very authentic Puerto Rican cuisine, but they seriously need to change the scenery, I felt like was at a sports cuts. Like you would never guess this place was a Latin restaurant when you first walk in!

This was our second time coming to this restaurant. We were the only 2 people eating there on a Sunday evening. It took 40 minutes for them to bring us the wrong food. It wasn't even close. We walked out. Never again.

Great Puerto Rican food restaurant first time here and food and drinks so good

Pésimo servicio, no tenían cosas del menú y te hacen saber hasta que llega tu comida y preguntas , no tenían papel en el baño y el lugar muy frío .

Loved the vibe! Tons of different drinks, all of them GREAT!Amazing food!! You gotta check this place out. Fun night life as well.. hookahs available!!! LOVE IT!

Open since April 1st, Caliente still needs some tweaking. However, the food is authentic and delicious, making this spot worth a stop. Having visited Puerto Rico numerous times, we were excited to try this place out. I can honestly say the food was a good representation of the country. The Mofongo was good, but personally I like mine with a little more garlic. I had it with the fried pork, which was cooked perfectly. The Ropa Veija was very flavorful and something I would definitely order again. The pulled pork in the Empanadillas and Pernil was very tender and juicy, and the beans (your choice of red or black) served as a side were very good with a sauce worth dipping in. The only suggestions we had was that the Ceviche could have used more lime, tomatoes and cilantro. The meat in the Bistec Encebollado was tasty, but for a dish that is supposed to have onions, the one served had none. This place has a large bar and seating area with lots of tvs, making it a good spot to watch the game. There is also a DJ every Friday.

We made reservations 4:00 pm for dinner and to watch Packers game on Sun. We received confirmation of reservation the morning we were to go. Drove from Kenosha. When we arrived they were not open, even tho sign on door said they open at 4:00. Tried calling, no answer & could not leave message. Saw someone cleaning inside & when she came to the door had no idea of our reservation. She said we could come in but only drinks. No cook til 5:00. We decided to stay & have drinks. Bartender did not know how to work TV's & gave us a remote to try to figure it out. We finally were able to get 1 tv with game on but no sound; game was in 2nd quarter by then. Drinks were ok. We were told at 5:00 we could order only apps. When we said we were leaving, she said we could order food. Food was just ok. While we were eating, staff were sweeping and cleaning up dining area. 18% service fee was automatically on tab. There was no apology for all our inconvenience. Overall very very disappointed and will pass word not to go there.
