Muy Caliente Mexican Grill and Cantina I

K L a month ago

Sat at the bar and had great service and food. The margaritas are huge! Loved how the complimentary chips came with various salsas. They are also open to substituting sides, so instead of rice and beans I got fries with the fish tacos (forgot to get pic of fries). My friend got extra beans instead of rice. It’s a family operation, too. Good flavors, many options!

I have been to multiple Mexican restaurants so when my friend told me about this location, I have to be honest I have never heard of it and thought it was going to be more Tex-Mex vibes. We were given big portion sizes. I was given more rice than flautas lol. I had ordered a cantarito but tasted like it had no alcohol whatsoever. Parking was behind the building and I was lucky to have found one close to door if not, we would have walked.

New place in the neighborhood we checked out a few days ago for dinner. I cannot say enough good things about Muy Caliente. The food was delicious, the service was prompt, attentive and friendly, and the restaurant was very clean. I will definitely be back. I want to try other dinner items, and try their lunch menu. The margaritas were good, not too sweet and not too heavy on the booze. They're still doing their soft opening, so their website and online reservations aren't available yet, but I'm sure they'll get that sorted out.

Great neighborhood option for Mexican food. Margaritas were good (and pretty strong), cheese dip delicious! They kept the chip baskets full, and service was attentive and friendly. Food was good, nothing particularly stand out, but exactly what you expect. Food was hot, portions were generous, and prices were reasonable. We will definitely go back.

Ok I have mixed reviews. I’ve been here twice. First time was really good and was excited about having this in the neighborhood. Took the family on Friday night and was very disappointed. The guac was in a tiny serving bowl and was $9. The queso was lukewarm and also tasted terrible- nobody in our family at it. It was $10 for a small bowl. So we spent $20 on apps that were not awesome. The meals were Ok. The reason it still got 3 stars: the atmosphere was fun and the margarita was very good and very generous size at a great price. I might try one more time but will avoid the apps as they were a huge disappointment. The meal for 4 of us was $100 which feels extremely expensive for a Mexican restaurant in KC as we have some great Mexican food here for much less.
