Friendly spot with quick service and tasty eats.
Another great pick in Newport, Caliente Mexican Grill offers a welcoming vibe perfect for casual dining. Service is fast and efficient, getting you your food without the wait. The dishes hit the spot with bold flavors, and their horchata and tamarind drinks are refreshing standouts – smooth, sweet, and perfectly balanced.

Some really good tacos. I think I ended up here three times during my week stay. There are a lot of big, fancy dinner places in Newport, but this place serves Mexican comfort food for a comfortable price. The staff was welcoming and helpful to dial in some delicious tacos.

True, authentic Mexican food! The fish tacos are to die for and super tasty. This place is a hidden gem for New England cuisine!

The glowing reviews here are incomprehensible unless you imagine them written by people encountering American Mexican food for the first time. Burrito was cold and soggy, with “steak” that seemed like school cafeteria mystery meat. Fish tacos were barely acceptable (same deal with low-quality fish), took a long time to prepare (3 of them), and were topped with onion even though we’d specifically requested no onions. The salsas (green and red) were tasteless with no hint of heat — still heard people complaining that the salsa was too spicy, which sort of illustrates the palate this place aims for. For all the “best Mexican food I ever had” folks (reviewers from Iowa, I’m imagining), here’s one for people who know what a burrito and tacos that cost $40 are supposed to taste like: this was the absolute worst I’ve ever had.

The food was decent not much to complain but not great either. It’s is customer service that is actually pathetic and just blatantly rude. They did not bother to name the ingredients even when asked. Everyone had an angry face and behaved like an old school cafeteria lady for absolutely no reason. It wasn’t even subtle rudeness they were straight up making angry noises and hand gestures to go away as if we were robbing the place. Definitely the worst restaurant I have ever been to and would not recommend to anyone.

Making DoorDash wait for 30 minutes to the point where I left is so not cool. DoorDash customers pay the same as those annoying college kids you cater too. I’m a fine dining chef who has never tried your restaurant but after my experience tonight, i never will. Great job!
Update. 10/17/2025 Now this restaurant tells the drivers how long food has for a wait. Last time 20 minutes. This time 25 minutes. How many walkins do you tell 20-25 minutes. Guarantee you no one! Still unacceptable! It’s the owners fault for hiring bodies who put aprons on pretending to know what they’re actually doing!

Avoid at all cost!
Ordered a breakfast burrito (no guacamole) ~ got a rice & bean (with a little lettuce) burrito.
When I went to the counter, I asked “who puts rice & beans in a breakfast burrito” & was told I got what I ordered ~ great customer service (for $12, how about making me what I ordered).
Would never recommend or go back ~ horrible food & service ~ would give negative stars if I could.
