Front entrance - don't be fooled, it's lovely inside!
Cordelia R.

This is our new favorite spot!! Upset it took us this long to find. I will say I was nervous about going in because from the outside it does look.. boarded up almost?? lol respectfully but inside it's absolutely lovely and the food and the service is awesome. Really loved all the tile and the overall vibe, great playlist as well.

Today my daughter & I stopped in for a lunch date. We each have been craving nachos & quesadilla's. They were well worth our lunch date choice. The staff was very pleasant as always, washing down booths between customers and mask wearing. Also had us sign our name & phone number for contact tracing. Restaurant was clean. Restrooms as well and the food was quick in coming and hot.

Mexicali defeats covet 19
Jack D.

Once again.....excellent! They have mastered the Covet Curse. Unlike many restaurants since covet Mexicali never skipped a beat and prices did NOT go through the roof. Lotsa wait staff and friendly as always so service was A+. Our waitress was amazing. Be prepared to EAT BIG! Ohhh and be sure to have desert!

a drink and a plate of food
Tammi W.

This is the best place for Mexican food in all of New England. I am from Texas and this is as close to authentic Tex-Mex as you can get. The service is fantastic and the owners are super friendly. I highly recommend their tableside guacamole and you must I repeat you must have the El Presidente. The best margarita around. You will be sitting at home craving one.

My dinner! Seafood enchiladas (on blue plate).

This place has the best guacamole ever. The service and environment are great, but sometimes i only come for the guac because it's so good.

The burritos are massive, fork and knife burrito for sure but very good! The margaritas are also yummy. Great stop for a casual dinner out.

I had some of the best guac I've ever had in my whole life here. They make it right at your table. 10/10 would recommend.

Is great food and great service Love to have new places to…read morego w great food and drinks Totally recommend it

There are two parts to this review the first will be the food, it was amazing. The second will be…read morethe service, it was abysmal. 1) The food was mostly delicious. It was late in the evening so we opted to share Queso Fundido and the Texas Fajitas. The Queso Fubdido was meh. Nothing terrible about it but nothing good either. The fajitas were delicious. As a Texan I still find humor when restaurants name something for Texas and then deliver a dish that has nothing to do with Texas but the fajitas were delicious regardless. Thin strips of steak and chicken. A healthy portion of shrimp. So good. I love when a sizzling plate puts a little char on the veggies and this was done to perfection. Absolutely delicious. My only complaint is that they put cilantro on their guacamole. I am one of the 14% who think it tastes like soap. I love avocados, I love guacamole, I can't do it with cilantro. I hate that cilantro has taken off in recent years. Please make guacamole without cilantro. It can be added. 2) The service. Ugh We were seated promptly and had water and menus almost immediately the young waiter was pleasant and took our orders. I asked if I could keep the menu to look over the drink list and he obliged. Everything going well to this point. When he came back with the food, he never did come back to get a drink order, he turned and left after grabbing the menu. I tried to get his attention, not happening. This is where it really goes downhill. Not once during the entire evening was our water refilled. Not once. I made multiple attempts to get his attention, we even made eye contact a couple of times, and no water refill. People sitting around us had bottles of water to refill their glasses with, not us. We had spent a long day hiking and, while not parched, were thirsty. When the food was delivered I asked for water but he had turned around and walked away. He was very attentive to the difficult table next to us. Difficult only because he couldn't figure out how to split the check between five people. He came back and forth to their table no less than six times and still wouldn't bring us more water. As we finished our meal we decided to try a piece of Tres Leches cake and waited and waited and waited for him to come by. He came by, still trying to figure out the bill for the table next to us, but never even looked toward our table. He was literally standing one foot away from me at one point and I called to him and he never turned around. Finally my wife stood and motioned for him. He finally came over so we could ask for the check. I also asked for a water refill. He brought the check but no water refill seriously. We believe in tipping well and did tip this person 18% but our usual is 25%. To sum it all up, delicious food, lousy service.

Maybe it was due to the weather or the fact that it's in an out of the way location. The inside is cute and clean. Lots of Mexican artwork. Their menu has lots of options, but we went with a lunch sized fajita quesadilla and the fiesta burrito. They gave us a lot of food for less than $40 - great value. The chips were thin and warm, which I really enjoyed. The salsa was not hot and had a nice hint of garlic. My burrito was served with a healthy serving of guacamole and sour cream, Mexican rice, and black beans. I loved that the beans were not overly salty and everything was well-spiced. The tortilla was thin, which I enjoyed, and was packed with peppers, onions, steak and cheese. My spouse's quesadilla was filling and well proportioned with cheese, peppers, chicken and onions. We were both so stuffed! The service was a little slow, but efficient , and the presentation was beautiful as you'll see in the photos. We will definitely be back to try more food. Maybe I'll see what's spicy next time!
