Mexicali has been a late night staple since I was in High School half a lifetime ago. The prices are still reasonable and the food is still delicious! Just being in there brings back decades of memories. I recommend 100% read more

We visit here often for our office lunches and everyone of us has our favorites and go toos. Mine is either the taco salad or the chicken quesadilla - just depends on how hungry I am. But we always have to have the fries and their salsa ranch - YUM. read more

Came back after several years, and it's still the same great food. The same guy is still there at the counter. Family business? There's a section with video poker or something, but sound is well insulated from the main area. I don't care about that but if they need it to stay in business and keep serving us wonderful food then +1 for them. Mr Maine read more

Time to give my review an update! I still, 13 years later, live right down the street and I do drop in here still. A recent discovery is that they have some pretty great guac! A favorite thing is that I can order street tacos AND the fast food style. Both are great options and they do have a lot of different options. The drive through is open nice and late. I usually catch them pretty close to closing an have to say that they are always so friendly with smiles even when they've have a pretty long day. It is such a nice option when you want to lazy roll through a drive through and settle in with some tacos after going to a show or event. read more

A solid place to get some good food quick and at a reasonable price. The place has been here for as long as I can remember. The interior may seem a bit dated but was clean. We ordered the Chile Verde, Mexicali fries (sidewinder fries), beefy Nacho Supreme, and some street tacos (carnitas, language, and steak). The Chile Verde was excellent. I liked how the meat and flavor of the sauce went together. The meat was tender and ready to eat. The meat on the street tacos was also pretty good. I liked that they have a sauce bar that is self-service. I was able to try a bit of everything. Overall, it's worth coming and getting some good food. read more

Really good food. Lots of traditional options. Had bfast. Super reasonably priced.

Full disclosure I have been coming here since 1992. It is my choice of LL of is Beaverton High students during off campus lunch. And even today, if I'm going to go through a drive way it will be here. They have an awesome staff who have worked there for years so they are efficient, friendly and speedy. Look I know it's weird to give a fast food restaurant a five star review but as far as fast food goes there is high quality. Always fresh and their prices have remained reasonable. The beefy nachos, and chili verde are some of my faves but I've never not liked anything and I never feel gross afterwards like some of those other fast food taco joints. read more

Mexicali Express - Beefy nacho supreme - Mexican Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

I usually don't eat pork but decided to try the Chile Verde. The meat was so tender, perfectly cooked. Amazing. The beans were decent but the rice was probably the worst rice I've ever had. Tortillas were just hot & wet. All I ate was the meat, but that made it worth it! Nachos were "whatever" according to my husband. He said the real cheese & sauce were good, but the chips were a little stale & the olives were weird. As a Mexican woman, I 100% agree about the olives. I don't eat lengua, but my husband said it was the best lengua taco he's ever had in his life & would go buy 10 of them right now if he could. Really good spot, pleasantly surprised, just be careful when you go as they don't seem to have issues with drug addicts hanging out inside. There was a very high woman twitching & moving around at the table right across from us. read more

Most of the time, if I am sitting in a drive thru for more than 10 minutes I start getting frustrated and start tapping my steering wheel and my ears start to steam. This is because typically drive thru food is supposed to be fast and (not necessarily cheep anymore) . Some fast food restaurants do make items to order without freezing the food (I.e Wendy's) but their business model usually has the food come out quickly. Mexican restaurants are quite different however. I have previously gone to Victorico's on Cedar Hills Blvd and wasn't quite sure why I had to wait 15 minutes for my food. When I got home and opened the burritos I realized why. The same goes for Mexicali Express. While I did have to idle in my car for a few songs, the payoff was well worth it. All aspects of the food was amazing. The burrito was hot and fresh. It was very potato forward with just a little fried egg on the inside of the tortilla but the potato was good and tender. The bacon wasn't crispy but it was not soggy like most breakfast sandwiches out there. The red salsa was super flavorful with just enough heat to give me the kick I needed. My son devoured the pancakes. He said it had a slight peanut flavor to it, but he still enjoyed it. The syrup didn't taste store bought and it turns out I was dipping my burrito into butter which I thought was sour cream. It had to be made in house as well. Overall the entire meal was amazing and seeing as it is less than 2 miles away, I will probably will be making more trips read more

Mexicali Express - Not super beautiful, but super delicious - Mexican Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

Listen. This place is like if Taco Bell actually made food with fresh ingredients. Bean burrito? Better than TBell. Crunchy taco? Better than TBell. I mean, the bar is low by that standard but this place blows it out of the water. It's effin' fantastic when you need a late night munchie but don't want to feel tragic about the fact that you went out for a late night munchie. Drive thru is quick but not as quick as fast food because they actually make the food fresh. What a concept. Plus the people here are always friendly and kind. All around a 10/10. read more

My husband and I have been going here every few months or so, sometimes more often for a few years. We've tried almost everything and it's so delicious, the prices are amazing and the workers always give us tons of sauces. Love this place so much! read more

i like this place. It is not fancy. It is ugly outside but very clean, a little homely and honestly totally outdated inside. I just read that they've been here 25 years. The food is pretty reasonable and tastes good. The people are super nice. You have to be sweet to them, too. Tip them! Say thank you! Only fair since they are making you tasty food. I knows those reviews that say " I lived blah blah place so I know everything there is to know about such and such" are super annoying. I may have been guilty of that. Oops! I won't say that this time. I am no expert. I have made a lot of Mexican food in my day and it always tastes like a gringa made it even when I try REALLY hard. But I grew up in Arizona, attended college in Tucson, and before I moved to Oregon I lived on the Arizona/California/Mexico border and I developed maybe a tiny burrito habit. Okay possibly a mid sized addiction. My college friends and coworkers were predominantly Latinos and I was lucky enough to share their home cooked food. Tamales, homemade tortillas, flan, albondigas, migas, chilaquiles, posole, and carne asada among other things. A close college friend carried his mama's homemade salsa around with him and put it on EVERYTHING including pizza. (the stuff was like crack, seriously). This joint reminds me of humble places I used to grab a burrito or a plate of rice and beans with some chile verde and a pile of salsa. Their food has always been hot and fresh for us, we like the salsas, and my kid is fixated on their very simple guacamole. It comes in a good amount with a sprinkle of olives and chopped tomatoes on top which I noticed another yelper didn't appreciate and said was not " authentic". Pfft. Last night we hit the drive thru and I watched the nice Latina lady put those on our guac, and you know what? We dig it. She looked "authentic" doing it. It is essentially fast food and it is WAYYYY better than Taco Bell. They also serve breakfast burritos ALL day. And they are dang good. Maybe a little smaller than some other similar places on the west side as another yelper mentioned ( Don Chilito, Ochoa, Don Pedro, and Taco Del Sol - each good in their own way) but truly delicious and a bit cheaper. Buy TWO if you are starving or eat like a lumberjack. Teen always gets a horchata now. It is good too. Teen wanted me to mention that. It is not my thing, but it is creamy and cinnamony and seemed to hit the horchata mark. I say try Mexicali Express, and if you aren't a fan I listed the other places to try. It is good to go local. And we like this long time Beaverton spot. read more

Dependably great food! I drive from Lake Oswego at least once a week to get the best fast Mexican food for many years!

Best crispy tacos and breakfast burrito But weekend is the best regular breakfast menu that I get veggie omelette and pancakes. Weekday is only burritos which are big and tasty. Crew is always friendly and caring. Thanks for best restaurant. Miss you in Hillsboro!!! read more

Mexicali Express - They have fries instead mexifries Much Better for me. Hot and fresh - Mexican Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

Above average breakfast burrito, served quickly at a decent price. It wasn't huge but it was fresh and warm. They gave a good selection of salsas. I'll be back. read more

We are weekly Mexicali goers. Starting with the customer service- the long time manager is welcoming, and happy to answer any questions. The ladies making the food always wave. Everyone is wearing masks/ gloves and the kitchen is super clean. The food is great, especially for late night drive through. We always get: beef crunchy taco suprema, charbroiled chicken tacos, and switch between fajitas and breakfast burritos. Don't forget to try there house made hot sauce! read more

My wife and I have been going to ME for 45 years back when they were called Taco Man. I don't think much on the menu has changed except the addition of street tacos. We usually get burrito supremes and mexi fries. My kids always did the coloring contest to win food. Any time they come home they have to go to ME. I guess they are closed for remodeling. I remember when they remodeled from TM to ME. The reason I thought to write this is because we were going to go to ME but remembered they are closed. I hope they come back as good as always. read more

Mexicali Express is a Beaverton classic. From breakfast, dinner, to lunch the menu is robust and affordable. Excellent options in the salsa bar. Service is always great. I have been eating here over 25 years and anytime I am in the area I stop by. I moved from Beaverton Area to rural Oregon City in 2016 and sure miss them being close but when visiting Beaverton it's a welcome taste of home! read more

Mexicali Express has great food, great customer service, clean always and great prices. All of these qualities bring us back again and again. The breakfast burritos and breakfast plates are full of flavor. The Mexican fries are unique and tasty. AND did I say.....the prices are modest! This business has lasted over 50 years and the staff are consistent and friendly. read more

Mexicali Express is so good, always has been. I never go through Beaverton without stopping for a combo burrito. Yum! And the staff is always, always ALWAYS pleasant and friendly - not the sullen, detached PDX hipster vibe that makes you wish you'd gone somewhere else. I love this place. read more

We have been coming here for years! I love the chicken kahuna burrito and the guacamole and chips. Everything is fresh and piping hot when you get your order. The staff are always polite and will adjust any order to your liking and not give any gruff. Did I mention they are fast too! The building could use a little updating (or paint) and the driveway and drive-thru are in need of repair or patching, but I'm still giving 5 stars for their fast and friendly service and for the fresh and hot meals they offer. read more

Very cool place. They have gambling in the corner. Great food and a bunch of awesome sauce and salsas. I typically get a burrito but their salad are great, potato rounds as a side are always good. The drive up window makes it easy if you don't wanna sit down. The people working are always really nice too. Never had good here that wasn't delicious. No complaints! read more

Yummy food I love it I will be back look new food truck people very nice clean site anyway satisfied

the food here used to be good.....not anymore and the staff is very rude. There are many places to buy good Mexican food and unfortunately this is not one of them. read more

So good!! Same taste as when I was in high school back in the 90s. They had a location in Canby Oregon

Menu screen was broken in the drive-thru so I just ordered what the guy in front of me got. It was great. Bacon breakfast quesadilla or something read more

Amazing food!!! I was recommended here by a friend and I kept putting it off. I don't know what I was thinking. The food is Soo good. Getting into the drive thru is a bit tricky. But otherwise sooo worth it read more

Mexicali Express - Chicken taco salad. - Mexican Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

I've been going to Mexicali Express since I was 16 years old... I stopped in the other night as I hadn't been there in a while having moved to Vancouver, WA. All I can say is they get it right!! They are consistent... great food, great menu and better service. Always fast and I've never left disappointed. The have the best street tacos, soft tacos, burritos, taco salads and much more. And they're Mexi Fries and home made sauce are the best. Always glad I went... only wished they had one in Vancouver, WA:) Great family restaurant getting it done right! (FYI: I'm now 51 and still love Mexicali Express) read more

Awesome breakfast burrito, mexicali supreme! mmmm. My number one choice for Breakfast burritos. I will drive the 20 minutes for this. So its an old sort of run down joint, but its GOOD food. read more

Mexicali Express - Breakfast burrito supreme - Mexican Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

This place is a waste of money. The only part of my order they didn't mess up was my drink. I ordered a chicken burrito. Was very specific what I wanted on that burrito. What I got was mystery meat and beans. Beans not on my list of things I wanted. Certainly wasn't chicken. Waste of $15. read more

Been living in Beaverton for 20 years and just found this place. It is a gem. Good prices and good food. Try the Mexi fries! Good stuff!

I've tried just about everything on the menu, and it's all good solid mexican fare across the board, but.. Mexicali Express is mainly my go-to for a good breakfast burrito when I'm in that part of town. I like the meatier breakfast burritos. My vegetarian daughter likes the potatoe/cheese and eggs burrito with a side of beans and rice. Yum. read more

It was great! We had an assortment of menu items and all shared. We were disappointed the fries weren't the same as when in canby.

Been here twice now. A lot to love about it! I didn't think it'd be much from the outside, but staff are super friendly, chile verde is outstanding and reasonably priced, overall just a nice little casual place. Oh yeah- great happy Mexican music is nice too. read more

I wrote off this place. I ate here about 10 times. i always order carne asada, either burrito, or tacos, or both. the meat smells old, and sauce when left packaged on your counter will blow up overnite, because its old. This is always drive-thru. going in(i have once), they may have fresher sauces, or maybe thats old too. The staff isn't completely friendly, but i have always been friendly with them. one lady is nice, no smiles ever from the cooks. The guy that works there (from about Apr 2018 to Jul 2019), usually food is at its worst then. Mexicali, we know when your stuff isnt fresh, it may cost more, but its your business! Make the sauce fresh daily, repair your refrigerators, train your employees better, dont recook your meat, and keep it fresh, and stored properly in the fridge!!! ok, i just read another review below, notice "Marybeth D.", it looks like im not the only one who noticed the tangy old sauces. Point well taken... I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say that the 5 star raters may just not know what Mexican food should taste like, or got the one fresh un-microwaved thing on their menu. Ive been to Mazatlan, and Tijuana, among other places in Mexico, lived in So Cal, i know what its supposed to taste like. If your not sure, go to Baja Fresh if you want to taste fresh Mexican food, however they are too expensive and way too commercialized for me. read more
