Reviews for Cocina Caliente in Ridgecrest, CA
First time visiting... I had the enchilada plate. The enchiladas were good but small. The rice and black beans that came with it... didn't have much flavor really so after eating a little of them, I didn't finish. My husband had the fish tacos and carne asadatacos. He liked them but would've preferred the fish be cut into pieces vs. one large piece. My son had a burrito but said itwasn't as good as the one he gets back home. I would eat here again, just to try some other foods. Read more
As many Mexican restaurants use lard in thier beans, I called to verify and found out they actually have black beans available... which do not contain any meat. I booked it to the restaurant thinking about getting there vegetarian enchiladas and I wasrecommended the vegetarian burrito enchilada style. OMG it's amazing. I got it both the green and red sauces. If you like cornin your burrito, you will love it. As a snack I got the mini quesadillas to try thier salsas with. They have 5 differentsalsas, all worth trying. And lastly I got the churros (classic and carmel filled) which were okay. I loved the carmel filledone. Read more
Incredibly average food for a higher than average price tag. I got the enchilada style burrito and a small drink, coming out to... 17$. It was very pretty. But the flavor I got out of it, was cilantro and some slight enchilada taste, not to mention it wasswimming in sauce(knife in and out of sauce for reference.) Almost a soup basically. The cashier said their steak was the bestbut I am left very unimpressed. Bland a flavorless. If you?re going to charge the high tag at least let the flavor reflect it.Disappointed and still hungry.

This place is alright. I ordered the rancho burrito (breakfast burrito) and it was a wet burrito, the kind you eat on a plate. A... little unexpected, but it tasted alright. Read more
Honestly hands down one of the best red sauce enchilada style burritos I?ve had in awhile! Gentlemen recommended the green sauce... enchilada style and I can see why has just the right amount of spiciness! Read more
I am not even being over dramatic when I say this is the BEST taco salad I have ever had in my life. I have now tried 3 separate... dishes from this location and every single one was delicious. I am almost ashamed that I did not know what Al Pastor pork wasuntil I came to this restaurant. 10/10 would recommend! Read more
Friendly staff, decent menu, wish the meat options were larger on the menu. The churros are very yummy. Tried all the tacos... besides the zesty chicken one because they were out of that flavor. Read more
Awesome place for some Mexican dishes. I went for the $1 taco Tuesday deal, was not disappointed.
