What User doesn't like about Grill Caliente:
I visited this restaurant with my family, and unfortunately, my son became upset. The manager approached us and suggested that we leave before we even had a chance to place our drink order. It's worth mentioning that my son has autism spectrum disorder (ASD). View all feedback. What User likes about Grill Caliente:
The staff was incredibly friendly and immediately informed us upon being seated that almost everything on the menu could be made vegan. We ordered a few small dishes to share, and everything was fantastic! They really knew their stuff when it came to vegan options. View all feedback.
