Caliente, a well-regarded Mexican restaurant in North Lake Tahoe, announced its closure after 18 years in business. The two-story restaurant, celebrated for its views and spacious deck, is currently listed for sale at $4.9 million. Owner Tom Turner cited performance issues with the restaurant yet did not elaborate further. Real estate experts suggest that the space could attract potential buyers interested in retaining it as a restaurant or repurposing it for events or hospitality. The restaurant's sale comes as a shift in focus for Turner towards other ventures.
Caliente, known for its massive second-floor deck with views of Lake Tahoe, quietly closed its doors in October 2024 after an 18-year run.
Prospective buyers have been looking at the space, which could remain a restaurant or could be converted into an event center or boutique hotel.
