    Burrito bowl
    David T.

    Mexicali cantina is located in what I would describe as a strip mall. Very nicely decorated inside and we were greeted warmly. I ordered a patron margarita and my wife got a coke which was delivered promptly with fresh chips and a carafe of homemade salsa. I had a trio platter of enchilada, tamales and burritos. Very delicious served with rice and some creamy refried beans. My wife opted for a burrito bowl with shredded pork which she thoroughly enjoyed. Very nice meal with excellent service and well worth the price. Wish I lived closer to enjoy more items.

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

    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.

    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!

    Other than the people that answer the phone and don't communicate good english, the food is the best out of every mexicali around.

    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.

    Quite a find on our way back from CNY holiday. Tired and hungry we stumbled across this little…read moretreasure in a strip mall behind where we were getting gas. The place is huge, on point cultural music (albeit loud- I'm old I like quieter) and the queer o meter is a perfect 10. Most excellent. The complimentary chips n salad were delicious. Thin, warm and lightly salted with just enough heat to the salsa and nice flavor. The rest is pretty straightforward- a chicken quesadilla that was jammed with cheese. It oozed out of the sides. And a steak fajita - both were very very good. The fajita had a great flavor, hot and piled high with peppers and onions. The steak slices were tender and delicious too - I will put out there that might be the only "con" it, in my opinion, could've done with 3 or 4 more slices of steak. However there is an epic amount of the peppers and onion which I 100% appreciate. Our waitress was so friendly and top notch. Accommodating and available without hovering. Food was delicious, service wonderful and atmosphere comfortable (sans loud music ha ha) The prices seem to be higher than other Mexican places - ie. The fajita was $21 and usually I'd venture to say that's the shrimp or combo cost, not steak or chicken. So overall they are about $3 higher. In the end I was fine with that bc it's really good and I would go back! Thank you El Patron Corona!! Cheers!

    We were in the area and decided to check this place out for lunch. The ambiance is pleasant enough,…read moreand we were greeted nicely and seated immediately. I think this is the third restaurant to open in this specific space, the prior two didn't last very long. And based on our lvisit, I'm uncertain how long this place will be here. We ordered: RANCHO SAMPLER $17.99 Chicken taquitos, cheese quesadillas, Buffalo wings, and cheese mini nachos, with sour cream, guacamole, tomatoes, scallions and ranchero cheese. QUESADILLA (with Chicken) $12.99 While we awaited our lunch orders, our very nice waitress brought us warm chips and salsa. These were very good, and probably what we liked most. We thought the sampler was bland, we liked the nachos best, and thought the Buffalo wings were terrible. They tasted burned. They were really dry (check out the photos). We asked for replacement wings and the waitress asked us (in broken English) to return the burned ones. She held out an empty plate and we picked up the burned wings, and gave them to her. About 5 minutes later she returned with wings that were cooked the same as the first batch. Perhaps some people like these types of wings, we certainly didn't. Maybe this place is more of a watering hole? Then again, maybe there are some other dishes that are better than those we tried. I think that question will remain unanswered, as I doubt we will return.

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!
