| - ** FOOD POISONING **
I was looking for a new spot to eat lunch around Mt. Lebanon when I stumbled upon Caliente and figured I'd give it a shot. All I had was a half dozen wings and some fries. The food was alright, your typical pub food. The service was s.l.o.w. - I was the ONLY ONE at the bar, and there was only one other table in the entire restaurant when I went in - and I still had to flag down the waitress for things like napkins, glasses of water, refills, my check, literally-any-time-I-needed-her, etc.
Now the good part. About 1-2 hours after ingesting their sub-par food, I start burning up and feeling nauseous. About 30 minutes after that, I run to the bathroom to throw up. 10 minutes later, I'm throwing up again, and again. I leave work early to go home and rest... I throw up the entire rest of the evening. I throw up the entire next day afterwards. After 24 hours of constant nausea, I am able to keep water down, and eventually some ginger ale. Considering it's not flu season, I sought answers elsewhere.
I come to Yelp and see that a few other reviews mention getting sick or contaminated food. I then go on to Allegheny Dept. of Health to see what their most-recent inspection was .. I'm surprised they haven't been shut down! There were almost 10 health violations, some of them being major infractions!
This inspection has been included in this review. I will never, ever, be returning here - there are SOOOO many better options in the Mt. Lebanon and Castle Shannon area that have delicious food, good service, and won't make you deathly ill.
