My wife and I stopped in for a light dinner while going to the bar next door. I had the chicken nachos and my wife had some guacamole. The guacamole was ok but it's hard to screw up guacamole. My chicken nachos on the other hand were not good at all. The chips were soggy before I even started eating... More

Tourist trap. Everything was smothered in fake cheese. I would never recommend that anyone go to this restaurant.

Supposed to be authentic Mexican but we found the food just ok. The four of us each ordered something different but the nacho appetizer turned out to be the highlight of the dinner. Nothing special. We did enjoy the tacky "Chicken Drop" event going on next door. That is held every Thursday night at the hotel next door. I think... More

We love this place. The food is really good and the location is awesome! Especially for the chicken drop on Thursday nights.

My wife and I ate at Caliente's twice while in Belize, and were not disappointed. The food, which is Tex-Mex with a heavy dose of fresh seafood options, was always fresh and tasty. The guacomole was especially good with fresh chips (and a little of the Mari Sharpe's habenero sauce).

We had a great dinner at Caliente. Nice walk on the beach from the Phoenix and it wasn't crowed at the time we went around 6:30pm. The food was very good, my husband got coconut chicken and it was outstanding and I got lime chicken soup and salad and both were delicious. We shared nachos and they were also great.... More

Title pretty much says it all. The food was excellet. Whe most of the menu is more Mexican, we opted for the fresh fish items. Although while the food is great, the service is a little slow, so make sure you have plenty of time.

Picture this: it’s your wedding weekend and the night before the wedding. You show up a few minutes early to meet the wedding planner at Caliente and then realize that you haven’t made a reservation for your 50 guests, who will be showing up at any moment. Most restaurants would laugh at you and the night would end up a... More

We ate here for lunch and dinner during our week long trip to San Pedro. If you are there over a Friday, I would definitely hit the Friday taco night. It was a great value, especially with the margaritas special. We found the food and service to be a bit inconsistent, but were still happy to have eaten there. The... More

Of the half dozen + places we dined while in San Pedro this was our least favorite. The food was nothing special, and the service was definitely the poorest. The experience might have been better if we had been able to eat on the outdoor deck -- the night we were there it was too windy and the deck was... More
