Had the shrimp quesabirria as well as the taco birria. Everything was hot and fresh! Definitely blows the other local spots serving the same type of cuisine out of the water. Will definitely be back.

Venezuelan cuisine. I ended up getting the Cachapa Classic and a side of beans. Really good flavor, sort of sweet, you could taste the corn in the pancake. Great flavor cheese as well. Anyhow, I plan to return to try some of the other offerings. I think this place is a winner, and fairly affordable as well (in a time when many things are not!).

We always enjoyed Mexicali Cantina in Frederick, so when that location closed, we started thinking…read moreabout the newer one in Hagerstown. I'm happy to say the food's as good or better, with good service in an interesting setting. On crowded Massey boulevard with its strip malls and chain restaurants, it takes a keen eye to pick out this spot (hint - look for the Hobby Lobby parking lot). Then get ready for some unusual decor - the last occupant, a seafood place, did a LOT of intense decorating, including ocean-blue floors and dock pilings. We've visited this location 3 or 4 times now, and the food's been fine, partly out of our sentiment for the gone Frederick location. It's not hard to find Latino cuisine around here, but Mexicali had some of our favorites, including the delicious chiles rellenos (here, fried battered chilis, stuffed with cheese). When we went last week, it seemed clear they'd recently stepped up the game a little - new dinnerware and maybe even larger portions, and just as tasty if not more so. As usual, the chips were crispy and good (though our basket was mostly fragments) and the house salsa is a treat, fresh and zippy but not too hot. I had my go-to Azteca combo, with that chile relleno, a pork tamal, and a chicken enchilada, along with Mexican rice (though no beans this time, for some reason). My wife chose her favorite shrimp fajitas, also with beans and rice, though maybe a little skimpy on the bell peppers this time. My classic margarita on the rocks was big and zesty. Our server was attentive and polite. The crowd was thin on this Saturday night, so there were plenty of staff on hand. In an area with tons of Latin food choices, we depend on the consistent flavor and service here. Bueno!
