Cocina Caliente - Ridgecrest

Family owned, fresh ingredients and so many options!

They made me an Elote shell on request. it was delicious! everything else we ordered was also great.

That is actually a pretty good restaurant. However, I am so tired to get a mountain of seasoned and serviettes by default. especially if I expressly ask not to get them and get them anyway, every time. 1 star may seem hard, but I have flew open and not sure how to get through these facilities.

Bad customer service and dirty restaurant with (just seen one on floor and one on the glass where they prepare the food). On my lunch break, I ordered 3 big tacos with sour cream and a caramel churro. I got to work, no churro in my bag and tacos were missing sour cream, which I paid for all of it. I called and explained to them that I was a nurse and I was on a quick lunch, so can I come at 6 before I go to my other job out of town to get the 3 tacos and my churro after the worker tried to argue with me stating she can bring me sour cream and my churro on her 10min break to my workplace. I ended up get off my job in town after 6 and had to drive straight to my other job out of town. I just left and the worker told me my manager told me not to make you the tacos but I can give you the churro because you said you were coming yesterday and didn't call or show up. Very unprofessional and displeased with their service. Never going back.

Went in hoping to see the owner, or other familiar faces, but didn't. The servers didn't understand what we wanted. Not sure who made the Jamaica, but it tasted watered down. It didn't have that rich taste its suppose to have. Looking forward to returning and seeing familiar friendly faces.
