A little hole-in-the-wall-ish, but it's a pretty good spot: street tacos for less than $2 each? I told had the carnitas and the steak, but they were good and came out fast. They do have lengua, not sure how tasty that option was. A small bag of chips costs a tiny bit more than one taco. Anyone else find that a little interesting? read more

This is definitely one of the best breakfast burritos I've had. Get the #18 with chorizo and find the seasoned crema in the huge assortment of toppings available for an added flavor kick. It's a blessing and a curse they don't open earlier than 9 because I would be tempted to get one every morning before work. read more

Love this place, we eat here once a week (at least). We always get street tacos with an order of chips and guacamole. Don't forget to visit the salsa bar! Some may find it 'divey' - It's always clean and high quality food, that's what really matters to me. Atmosphere- comparable to Don Chilltos or Muchas Gracias read more

Went today for the first time. Wanted something quick and filling before starting a moving stuff out of a storage unit. GOOD CHOICE. Food was fresh and quick. Bought three breakfast burritos with good fixins' - salsa, cilantro, fresh jalapeños, etc. Potatoes inside the burrito was done well - fat squares with a little crisp around the edges. Great salsa bar. Friendly and efficient staff. I may go there for lunch to try the carne asada tacos. My only wish is that they were open before 9 but it was worth the fifteen minute wait. read more

It has been awhile since I reviewed a new (for me) taco place, so I looked forward to trying Mexicali Express. I always try to sample a variety of meats for tacos so I ordered carnitas, steak, and charbroiled chicken, and all three were very good. To me, each of them stood out for a different reason. The carnitas was seasoned just right with just a hint of pleasant spiciness. The steak was browned and flavorful. Charbroiled chicken consisted of chunks of white meat with impressive chargrill marks. Also, they were a good value at only $1.85 each. I like this place. read more

See all

I might have kept driving but I read another review who said stop! Glad I did. It's fresh and tasty. Maybe not the best sit down place if you want ambience. If I want that I'll probably go up the road, but if you need to bring dinner home or stop for lunch, good choice. The tacos are good, beef supremas. Black bean and rice burrito and quesadilla also good. Not greasy at all! We've now been a few times and I'd recommend. read more

steak burrito actually was decent but it's so small for 8$ surprised me they charge that much for that little of food. Stay away from the rice though.. most flavorless shitty rice I've ever eaten haha read more

Divey look, but great food and great value. Time warp from the 80's dropped this place off Canyon in Beaverton, but you shouldn't let that scare you. They have good grocieries here. I go here for tacos. Nice corn tortillas with onion, cilantro, meat of choice and lime. Also a great selection of taco sauces to choose from. read more

amazing spot with great choices for vegetarians and meat eaters. the bean and cheese burrito has their sauce inside which is unbelievably good. salsas are always dope. you want to get the cilantro and onions, habanero, and you HAVE to get the spicy green. read more

Coming from the land of entrapment in NM it is hard to find a decent Mexican joint up here in OR with all the white folk complaining about food being too spicy. Well I have found THE spot. Great quality food, inexpensive pricing, hot sauce that is actually HOT. While most other local Mexican restaurants are serving up tacos and burritos with weak sauce Mexicali Express constantly turns out the BEST food. Soooooooooooo many types of food to chose from there is guaranteed to be something for everyone... ...unless you like that taco bell crap. in which case you had better just go play in the freeway and leave well enough alone. The people are friendly and attentive. The customer service is stellar, the drive through is open LATE... Not to mention the yummy cilantro and onion mix they put on top of just about everything! Seriously, Next time your feeling the need for some dank tacos hit up Mexicali Express. read more

Street Tacos with video poker. Will be going here more often now that I've found this place. read more

I go to Mexicali Express often for breakfast burritos ... they are awesome. Recommend adding guacamole. Friendly service.

Just went here for the first time and ordered the Veggie Supreme Burrito with spicy sauce (you can order mild or spicy) and without sour cream, and it is DELICIOUS. I would have posted a pic but I ate it a bit too quickly. :-/ I love the use of both black and pinto beans. The spicy sauce is a nice heat that won't burn your face off, and you can add more salsa afterwards. The ingredients are so fresh and the burrito has just the right amount of cilantro (for me anyway - I'm a fan). It's also wasn't totally dripping and soggy at the bottom of the burrito, so they mastered the right amount of sauce. There are lots of choices at the salsa bar. I tried the mild salsa, taco sauce, and habanero. I mixed the mild and habanero and it was divine. We are spice lovers and there is such great flavor in the habanero sauce!! My coworkers got an array of chicken and beef burritos and everyone is yumming in their offices. Very quick ordering process and the food is out in a flash, so it's great for lunch. Will definitely go back here and recommend. ONE BIT OF FEEDBACK: I HOPE THEY GET RID OF THE AWFUL STYROFOAM TO-GO CONTAINERS AND SWITCH TO THE CARDBOARDY ONES. read more

This is my go to place for breakfast burritos. Everything I have tried here is good, the sauces are amazing and for how filling the food is, and how inexpensive the breakfast burritos are, this is a really good, delicious deal (can't beat the price or quality at other 'fast food' paces and can't cook this at home for the same price). I've made a tradition of picking up one of these breakfast burritos before I go to the beach. I have to or it just doesn't start my beach day off right. Also, my husband got the steak taco, he said it was the best taco he's ever had. I had a bite and it really was amazing. read more

Flavour and food quality was great but the burrito was rolled very poorly and the hot salsa really isn't that hot. The prices are great though, I would come back again but I wouldn't be expecting over the top Mexican food. read more

Best chicken soft tacos in the portland metro. And I'm a native New Mexican, so you can bet I have a bit of experience with the taco form. Great salsa bar too. Load that puppy up with cilantro, onions, pico de gallo, and salsa verde and you've got possibly the best $2.29 deal in all of Beavertron read more

Saw this place on the side of the road and had to check it out. Food was Amazing! I had the carnitas burrito plate. The food is authentic and you get a lot for your money. Highly recommended! read more

UPDATE and moving to 5 Stars! They quit using STYRAFOAM!!! Thank you Mexacalli Express! Now I don't need to take my food cold and recook at home! Now PLEASE Gary, get going on the Gluten Free tortillas! If you are watching, you must be noticing the rising demand for GF... read more

I passed by this place 1000 times in 8 yrs and never stopped in. My daughter recommended it and BOY am I glad she did. Mexicali Express is the real deal for street tacos, great breakfast burritos and more. Love the fresh flavor and ingredients and the people that run it are so nice. I went there three days in a row when I first found it. Highly recommended. read more

I loved the theme of the restaurant. The burrito was a bit loosely rapped, but still delicious. I had a great time and all the staff had I smile on there faces. read more

My family and I have been going here since our kids were little, and now it's our favorite place to meet for lunch. Weekend breakfasts are the best! read more

You get what you pay for. Very sloppy tho and not the exact breakfast burrito you are probably used to

I used to go here all the time when I worked in the area. They serve up small, thin burritos, nachos, tacos and flat, round french fries. This isn't the taqueria type Mexican food we've gotten used to in the last few years...it's more like the "Mexican inspired fast food" popularized by Taco Bell. However, this place is independently owned and operated and in my opinion has better food than it's big chain competitors. One minus as far as Im concerned was the last time I was there they had converted a section of the seating area into a video poker den, which strikes me as not only kind of sleazy but also kind of weird... Shame on you Mexicali Express! Ha Ha! But hey, I like this place and Im sure I will be back. read more

Solid, fast Mexican. Large burritos - the carnitas was delicious. A fun surprise on the menu are the MexiCali Fries. The seasoning is fantastic. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that I wish the refried beans were creamier (but I'm really picky about refried beans). We will definitely be back! read more

Mexicali Express - Mexicali Fries. Beautifully seasoned. - Mexican Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

The burrito portion size is meh. It tasted alright. When I opened it, sauce and rice was everywhere and it got my hands dirty. read more

Mexicali Express - The burrito tasted great. But it came out really messy. - Mexican Near Me - Beaverton, Oregon

This is probably my favorite mexican food restaurant. They have a drive thru, their food is original and made to order, and their prices are fantastic. I get the enchiladas and carnitas and it's always tasty! read more

I have loved this place since I was a kid. Their breakfast burritos are amazing and it was amazing when they made them available all day. This place is easy to overlook but it is yummy. read more

5star for the salsa ranch alone. Breakfast burritos always hit the spot. Delicious, quick and friendly. Stop by!

Pretty generic burrito place. Burritos weren't even folded however, and the size was a bit weak. Not much cheese, mostly rice and refried beans with doughy tortilla. read more

Get the 'C' combo plate...it's never let me down. I can stuff myself for under five bucks. Woohoo! While I'll admit it's not the most healthy thing around it's dang tasty! Note: You have to ask for the hot sauce on the burrito that way you don't have to mess with slopping it on yourself. read more

Went here today because it was on my way. Being from California I am used to a "super nacho" being warm chips, cheese, good beans, carne Asada, pico de Gallo and guacamole. These were anything but super. Stale chips, canned beans, cheese and some sort of beef/chili concoction. Nachos bell grande are better. I left there wondering what I paid $8 for. Will not go back read more

Yum yum yum !! The breakfast burritos are my favorite and are served all day. But tonight I had the suprema burrito. I don't like the lettuce in it but overall it wa still really good. We also got the enchiladas and tacos. The tacos were flavorful and had onions and cilantro in them. Yummmmm . Seriously so happy we hopped in the car and the medium salsa is amazing !! read more

This place was a disappointment. Will not go back here again, bland, low quality products.

Great flavor, delicious burrito at a reasonable price! The salsa was also really good and not too spicy for the mild.

the sign outside said $1 carne asada or pollo tacos, not bad. got carne asada, i want to say the meat is juicy, but the bf says its greasy. juicy greasy meat it is. i was suprised when it looked like taqueria tacos (two small corn tortillas, meat cilantro and onions.i was thinking i was at a taco bell for some reason). if i was super hungry, poor and hankered for some tacos and i'm lazy to get out of my car, i'd go here since they have a drive-thru. they also have a salsa bar with pico de gallo, salsa verde, hot salsa, mild salsa, and jalapenos. but you have to get out of the car and get it yourself. they offer other things like burritos, chile verde, mexican fries, salads, etc. thats all i can think of. read more

Being from Southern California and being Mexican myself, we eat a lot of Mexican food. We always attempt to try new food , but this time we couldn't stay away. The staff was AMAZING and took care of any and all special requests. I was pretty impressed and if you ever find yourself near Beaverton I highly recommend this place. read more

My boyfriend introduced me to MexiCali last year and we've been regulars ever since! :) Small and quaint, maybe 15 tables and a friendly smile at the cashier greeting us. Then I saw the heavens open up and really, the only thing that matters, besides tacos ... the SALSA BAR! :) He got the carne asada burrito, as usual :p and I got a crunchy ground beef taco, al pastor and classic asada street tacos with a side of rice. We split a drink and were were set for just under $15. Not bad. We decided to have the delicious Mexican style rice and tamrind drinks they offer (think orange julius with the machines that constantly ran the drinks like a waterfall) in a convenient soda dispenser type machine now, and it was good. Like a sweetened rice mile, more a native drink and something I like on the way out. We had some water and then a pepsi. Ah, soda. The salsa bar offers it all! Green medium, taco sauce mild, habanero HOT, pico de gallo, fresh jalapenos, and even the signature ranch with a little kick of salsa is available by the scoop for you, for me! :) The roasted salsa is a favorite and I love the charred bits of peppers and watching all the friendly employees fire them up on the grill before turning them into future dipping delights! OK, look. Here's what's up with the salsa bar. You have to make sure you taste them before you just pour them all over your food, because lets face it, tempature matters and sometimes it gets busy and employees forget ... or whatever, but I've had a few times where the pico de gallo and bottled sauce, specifically, have been RANK. I mean... so bad. I love salsa with rice, so I caught it both times before my tacos were ruined, and the rice can just be scooped out, so it was all good. I let them know and they were nice and apologetic about it. What more can I ask? A free chocotaco? Sure, but not a deal breaker! ;) So, yeah. Onward. My handsome date was all smiles as the tender steak pieces, smothered in sour cream and guacamole, the rice and beans fighting for the top and of course the salsa took over. He's partial to the green sauce, which has a nice spice to it, with fresh onions and cilantro. Some days have a bigger kick than others, but we'll take it! The burrito is enough to fill this guy up for HOURS and he's never had any gristly gross bits. Great, fresh off the grill taste and I often sneak a bite or two or three or nine. What?! With free drink refills, I may or may not have another bite ... The tacos are legit. These are my favorite crunchy ground beef tacos within a 5 miles radius. The meat is never greasy and the shell, though not homemade, never gets soft or soggy. The taste is never comprmised and the flavor is slow and low with cumin, chili powder and other classic flavors one expects in a classic ground beef crunchy shell taco. These taste like every Mexican family I know! they have a bathroom, but it's a pain in the arse to use it! You have to get a key and exit the side door, walk along the drive through lane to the back of the restaurant and it's small and dark and weird. BUT. I was so glad it was there. Just be warned, it's a bit tricky to get to. read more

I have been going to Mexicali express for a few years now. The food is good and has the best prices in town. They have an awesome diverse salsa bar and delicious fried potatoes. Average price for a meal is around $6 which makes bit super affordable. I would rec commend this place 100% read more

Really, people? ! Yelp has failed me today, and now I am left questioning the integrity of this review platform. Everything about this place is watered down for gringo consumption. The food is bland and devoid of vibrance, the guacamole is served with black olives in it, you can get a generic crispy taco meal with fries. FRIES!! Ochoa lupitas is 10 minutes east of here, and he is bringing the comida autentico in a big way. read more

Too hot to cook, fish tacos are awesome! This is a great dinner stop for the gal on the go
