Caliente Bistro Kitchen

Blink and you might miss it, but this little spot in the Inner Richmond is serving up some of the freshest, most flavorful Mexican food in the city. Certain recipes on the menu were highly perfected over generations. However, Chef Raul Garcia Antolin's flair for studying under his sought out masters means a host of influences. Here you can enjoy sticky, smokey tamarind ribs; "cheesy crusted" burritos, and munch on warm tortilla chips as the staff prepares your meal with love. Come on in and see for yourself why locals rave about the service, the food, and the uncompromising quality - despite the laid back, casual location.
