Best fresh and tasty Mexican food in Bluffton! We just had take out and next time we will sit and enjoy the great atmosphere! A Blutton must. read more

Hubs loves their food.. I think its ok but not great. We have eaten here twice. On our first visit the service was excellent. On our second visit the service was ok but not great. The first time I got a salad with grilled chicken, avocado, black beans, etc. It was not bad but not a lot of flavor. On my second visit I got a chicken wrap burrito. Again, it was ok but not great. The chips & salsa were not bad but salsa was very mild. I would have liked a little more spice. I am willing to go back & give them another try. Hopefully I will find something there that wows me. read more

Great Mexican food, attentive staff, and I dig the ambiance. Having lived in LA for ten years it's hard to find decent Mexican food down south and this has been one of the better finds for the Bluffton/HHI area. read more

Great drinks and food! Nice and very clean! We will come again and surely recommend to our friends!

We really liked this place! Came in for lunch one Sunday afternoon, and were lucky to beat the crowd. The menu is pretty large, with lots of options to choose from, whether you're looking for just tacos or fajitas, or wanting to try a more traditional Mexican dish. The staff was very friendly and the wait times weren't bad at all. It's a pretty casual atmosphere, and if you're looking for something you haven't tried yet, give this place a shot. I think you'll enjoy it. read more

Dump and food absolutely sucks The waitress hardly understood English and we didn't get what we ordered. read more

Food was just ok. Server was very nice. My reason for a low rating? NO SOAP in the men's room. Absolutely no excuse for this. Makes one wonder about the cleanliness standards throughout the establishment. One......and done. Will not return. read more

Mexicali Fresh Bluffton - Ceviche with shrimp and fish , so good - Mexican Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

After reading other reviews, I believe it is a hit or miss. For me, it would be a miss. My wife agrees with the super cute interior. For me it is how's the food. My first clue was there were no other customers. Granted it was 2:30 but at this time the are a least a few folks. The salsa was tasty. My shrimp quesadilla had me looking for the shrimp. The rice was ordinary. Guess I back to Mi Tierra Down the street. Try it and let others know. For me its still about the food. read more

Food was just so-so. Service was so-so. Ambiance on the porch would not be bad except that there was no way to keep the flies out of the screened porch because the doors would not close, the outdoor tv's are broken and there were no fans to circulate the air. This was our third and last time, sorry to say. read more

Good food, lunch pricing reasonable, mariachi band a plus, good service. portions ok.

This place is unbelievable! Every single thing on the menu that we tried was delicious and super fresh. They have a very large and nice outdoor patio that is screened in. Tons of TV's to catch games. The service is the only thing better than the food. We were very well taken care of and they continued to bring more salsa, refill our drinks and check in to see if we needed anything. We will definitely be back soon! They do daily specials (taco, read more

Mexicali Fresh Bluffton - Mexican Near Me - Bluffton, South Carolina

It's a new place in Bluffton that has great food and superior service. I took my mom to eat dinner tonight. She has fajitas and I had the El jefe burrito. The fajitas were filled with steak and veggies it came sizzling to the table. The cheese dip was perfect and salsa was nice and garlicky with the fresh chips. Very enjoyable dinner and great special on the margaritas. The manager came over and asked us how the dinner was. We will definitely be back. read more

While I always try to support new restaurants, this is one I would give more time to prior to trying. Went there last night and every dish had issues: -Wife ordered a beef dish-it came out in the chicken version -Friend ordered a dish with crispy taco shell - came out in soft flour taco -I ordered a multi meat dish with shrimp, onions, and black beans - came out with burnt beef strip, no shrimp, no beans, no onions -Ordered draft beers - came out in bottle While in every case, the waiter fixed the issue quickly, these were alot of issues to deal with. Food was overcooked, not overly tastee. read more

If you're not disabled you might like this Mex place because of the salsa fixings bar. The authentic food is good, but most Mex restaurants are good in Bluffton. We have a great Mexican population to keep it that way. If you're disabled the fixings bar is another hurdle for you to jump over to eat. The food is also not brought to you. So disabled patrons beware!!! Parking is a mess at lunch time. read more

Great service but spendy. 4 drinks, 4 meals, $120!! I ordered pulled chicken burrito and the chicken was bland. Other people in my party ordered pork-they said was really good! Was like a warehouse-loud and echo like. We went on a Wednesday -early evening. One other party came in long after us. Otherwise we were alone the entire time. Not sure if would return. read more

Worst fajitas ever with small pieces of chewy chicken. Service left a lot to be desired as well. Stay clear of this place. read more

This place is a little hidden gem! Super cute interior. Food lives up to its name of being fresh! Great frozen margaritas!!!! Service was excellent. Had freshly made chunky guacamole. Coke products for you Diet Coke lovers!!!! Will definitely be back. Give it a try! read more

My family has eaten here before and usually receives good service and good food. Came in today to try a salad. When they first opened, their decor was fresh, now it is starting to look run down. I sat at the bar since it was just me. There was only one table of 3 and one the bar patron all finishing their meals. I promptly received a menu and a water, no chips and salsa. After that, with 3 employees behind the bar walking back and forth, I couldn't get their attention. They were too busy counting cash. After 10 minutes of being absolutely ignored, I left and said I was there to eat, but I'll take my business elsewhere. I will never return and my guess is that if they don't improve, they will be out of business soon. There are at least 4 or 5 Mexican restaurants within a 3 minute drive. Try elsewhere, you'll be happy you did. read more

Amazing food and service. Such a great lunch spot! Claudia was our server and she was super nice and attentive! Nachos, enchiladas, and the soup were incredible. read more

We had an OK time here. Food was good, but could have been better. They were almost too aggressive to help take our order LOL. We ordered unsweetened ice tea and they brought sweet tea, so didn't know what to expect. Food was decent. My issue was I ordered a spicy shrimp dish and had a good tasting sauce. Everything tasted good, but with a dish with lots of sauce, you would think there would be a spoon for it. Tortilla were part of the dish, but only a fork to get the stuff into a tortilla. If the dish came with rice, you could have soaked up some of the sauce. The other issue was the shrimp still had their tails and I had to remove them all before being able to put them into a tortilla. Was good but odd! Glad we went. Would try again. read more

We decided to eat at this place bc we saw it driving by. It was all so good! Our server Yenny was so nice and sweet to our toddler. We ordered the special appetizer with chorizo, I forget what it was called. And we ordered shrimp fuego tacos and Baja fish tacos - fyi beans are $2 and rice is another $2, I thought it was $2 for both beans and rice. They gave our son a coloring menu with crayons, and our Yenny our server was so sweet with our son. We also got a Modelo Special and El Capitan drink - beer wasn't cold and the el capital tasted like there wasn't a lot of alcohol. Regardless, food was amazing and hit the spot after a day at the beach. We ate outside, it was a nice day, covered and screened in with one screen open. They also had TVs out there and a photo op spot. 10/10 recommend and would come again! Also, the chips and salsa were complimentary! read more

This is not real Mexican food folks. And it has no flavor. Asked for hot sauce and got a small dish and when I got my bill they charged me 2.00. Can't complain too much as it was the only thing with flavor. read more

Wonderful and fresh tasting. We got the seafood chimichanga and the vegetable burrito. Nice and light with great flavors, not heavy or overcooked. Staff was very nice and we will definitely be back. read more

This restaurant was a nice surprise for lunch the other day. My wife and I decided to try it out. Prices were great and the food was superb. Service was good. We enjoyed the meal so much we made plans and went back the following week. Adding it to our rotation! read more

We enjoyed a reasonably priced lunch there. Everything was fresh and tasted great. Portions were generous for lunch. We rarely choose Mexican cuisine but decided to try it. We will definitely return. They have a nice variety on the menu and the staff was friendly. read more

Service was extremely slow and they got 3 out of the 4 orders wrong. However food was fresh and good flavor.

Food was so, so and fairly expensive for what you get. Bit of a language barrier to boot.

We have eaten here 4 times with an excellent experience each time. The food is fresh and delicious. Friendly staff with a relaxed atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor dining available. Outdoor has heaters for colder nights. Love the desserts! read more

My husband and I had heard a good review so stopped in. Bright, clean, super friendly staff. We had the Mexicali dip- messy but don't miss it! Delicious. They have the thin crispy chips which are fresh, and warm. Portions are large so we shared the Rice Bowl Texas style. I'm funny about steak but every bite was tender. Big beautiful shrimp and moist chicken. If we had to give one negative it would be the acoustics. Pretty loud, but again, it's not a candle light dinner place so be loud, have fun, enjoy the great selection of drinks. We'll be back! read more

Excellent! Lunch today was more than I expected.. food was fresh , and large portions.. The service is wonderful.. I will return for dinner and a drink very soon.. Support this lovely place and enjoy some real Mexican food... read more

New favorite fresh Mexican restaurant- We tried Mexicali Fresh tonight because i have heard good reviews. Well i am happy that we did. The decor is simple and cool, we understand there is more to come! Our server Natalie was so attentive, professional and very sweet. The salsa is awesome. We started with a big bowl of Guac. Our meal was delivered with perfect timing! I am disappointed i didn't take a photo - it was beautiful! I ordered the ultimate chimichanga and it was So good! We will definitely be back! read more

Over priced is the least of the problems. Nothing is actually fresh. So overrated. Service was horrible. Server came and dropped off the food without letting us know plates were extremely hot. Had to hunt the waiter down to actually place our food order and to get the Bill. Won't be back. read more

I would go here for drinks but the food was not good. I was so disappointed. How can u mess up mexican food but they did. Waste of a cheat meal. read more

The mussels were the best. The sauce was so good and the presentation was up there with the finest

It is very bright (too much light)!!! And EXTREMELY noisy! There are NO noise buffering or sound absorption in this restaurant whatsoever! On the bright side staff was very pleasant but the chips tasted like old oil! Have tried this restaurant three times. First time told the management what the issues were with the restaurant with the lighting and the sound. I've been back two times and they have made no effort to dim the lighting or buffer the noise. In fact the music was louder than ever on this visit! We had to sit in the bar to be able to even carry on a conversation. And the height of the bar is 2 feet above the level of the stools so it is not a comfortable eating position. The food was good but the atmosphere and environment is what will kill this restaurant. read more
