Super fresh and delicious a nice twist on the run of the mill Mexican food. The quesadillas are unique but the snapper taco is my new favorite full of fresh flavor read more

I had a Ranchero chicken burrito after looking through the photos on Yelp. My food was barely warm. Tasted like reheated chicken that wasn't heated through. Guacamole was like the premade kind you buy from costco. I liked the chips. Comparable to an overpriced cold taco bell expirience. Overall, disapointed. read more

I always get either the tostada salad with grilled chicken or the chicken artichoke quesadilla-both are great! Salad dressing is a unique citrus flavor. My husband likes the line steak burrito. Their chips & salsa are good too! The owners are nice & friendly when they are there. This place is a family favorite! read more

If you're spending money here and leaving tips for your server, please know that the owner takes their credit card tips.

Food is good. Although I don't recommend the ranchero burrito. Very juicy and sloppy. Not sure how people are supposed to eat it when it's soaking in sauces also is was cold. read more

I have been coming here since I worked in the village about 10 years ago. They have really good food, and the owner cares about his customers. read more

I like going here for a quick lunch when I'm in the mood for a huge burrito stuffed with all the good stuff: rice, beans, meat, guac, sour cream, cheese....you get the picture, these burritos are large and really tasty. The chips are extra $ and comes with a salsa bar but honestly the main entrees will fill you up plenty. read more

Awesome fish tacos. Huge and delicious. Try this place. They even have diet Dr. Pepper on tap.

Not only is this place super clean, and in a great location, but the food is phenomenal. I ordered the Chicken Cesar Wrap, and it was probably the best wrap I've ever had. It's a wonderful combination of a wrap, and a burrito if that even makes sense... but the staff is incredibly friendly, the food was quick, but not too fast to make you think the food wasn't fresh. The owner is super nice, and runs a great establishment. I will be back A LOT, it is one of the best places in Modesto. read more

Their food was good, but their customer service is bad. I didn't feel welcomed. Not coming here again.

Really the food is mediocre at best and the prices are about 2 dollars per item too high. It was empty on a Saturday night when we went in and I should have known I would be underwhelmed. Oh well. Live and learn. read more

We came here for the first time today for lunch. I was very impressed with the food and the service was wonderful!! The green sauce isn't very good that's why I left one star off but other then that it was great! We will be back! read more

I came here and tried the grilled snapper burrito. This burrito has some of the freshest ingredients I've seen in a Mexican restaurant. Plenty of meat, lots of big vegetables. I could have even gone for a smaller one. Only reason I couldn't give five stars was the price. I had to get a water cup to keep it under $10. If they offered all their burritos in a half or 3/4 size and you could get a drink under ten bucks this place would be perfect. read more

I was very unimpressed with this place. I went here for lunch and got cabs chicken tacos. The tortillas were dry and so was the chicken. Didn't have enough flavor for me. I won't be going back. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE MEXICALI! They have the best chicken quesadillas! A little pricey but well worth it! :)

Excellent enchilada verde and protien plate. Food was tasty and a step above typical Mexican fare.

I came in just to try the heathy option called the BBB which I loved and thought it was flavorful :)) would like to come again!

I love Mexicali Grill! It's light and open, but still feels cozy. They have so many fresh and healthy options, while keeping the Mexican flavors I love. It's a quick, order-at-the-counter type of place, but then you wait a little bit while your meal is made fresh to order and brought out to you with a smile! Today it's their signature Taco Salad that's making me happy with simply black beans for protein, a little sour cream and guac to enhance the vinaigrette dressing and a pile of crunchy lettuce with jicama, tomatoes and onion. The chips are used very sparingly, but still add that salty crunch in almost every bite. I've been here at least 20 times, and had several different menu items. The food is always consistently satisfying. read more

Love the grilled shrimp Caesar salad with Barefoot bubbly. Cheap, fun date night before going to catch a movie!

Fast and friendly service, awesome food. Smiley and his team always go the extra mile. Thanks for lunch!

This is my favorite place to come have lunch at! It's so convenient to come in during my break at work to grab a quick bite! It has a very friendly atmosphere, the food comes out quick, and it's delicious! You should definitely try the taco salad with chicken, it's addicting!! read more

Delicious food and friendly service. I always come back for the lime steak burrito!

Mexicali Grill is definitely my favorite place to go whenever I am in town. There's great options for clean eaters and for when you want to spoil yourself as well. The owners are always more than happy to try and accommodate whatever you'd like. And to top it all off, the prices are great. I'd recommend everyone to try...:) read more

Mehhh..... food is alright service not so great. They forgot about my order and when I asked where my food was the guy taking my order didn't really seem to care. Not what I call customer service:( so many other great places to eat in the village! read more

My favorite place in town for Mexican food in town! Extra tasty, more exotic, and probably healthier too. I usually get the grilled snapper burrito with black beans WoW!! I also get chicken or shrimp burritos and have tried the vegetarian ones as well - all excellent! Every time I've been in there, the person at the counter has been nice. The place is almost always quite clean too. It's the cleanest Mexican restaurant I've been in. The prices might be a little higher than some places, but certainly worth it. read more

Not bad. Nothing special here, and the food was okay, and probably a little better than other places. The food was quick and not that pricey. The atmosphere is good too. The person who took our orders though was very unfriendly and seemed to hate her job very much. read more

So this was my first time eating here. Came in for a business lunch meeting. Read the negative reviews and I have to say the reviewers were COMPLETELY WRONG! This place has great service, friendly staff and great food. I ordered a carne asada burrito and the other person ordered a bikini bare burrito with shrimp. The shrimp was well seasoned AND DE-Veined... My burrito was amazing. I will most certainly come back and have other business lunches there. read more

Love this restaurant! Prompt and courteous service! Dining area is always clean, and staff is always very kind and in a good mood! Plus the food is amazing! read more

Visited today (12.29.15) thinking this was another Mexican Restaurant. I think this place might be closing, or at least it should be. The prices for fare that you have to order from a cafeteria style menu are outrageous. I ordered the shrimp taco, and it was as dry as a stick, meager portion. My friend ordered a shrimp quesadilla and it was ice cold. The waitress looked positively miserable with no personality whatsoever, no smile, friendliness at all. My first and last visit...overpriced for a paltry serving, unfriendly staff, no ice available, had to ask for eating utensils. Really? You call yourself a restaurant??? read more

A nice array of fresh ingredients. Fast, friendly service. Not authentic Mexican, don't be mistaken. But if you're looking for a fresh healthy alternative to your daily hamburger for lunch, this is the place. read more

We've been eating here for many years and have always loved their food. While no restaurant can make everyone happy all the time, Mexicali's niche is healthy Mexican food. No deep fried food or refried beans. They buy their produce locally and hand make all sauces daily. After reading some of the reviews on Mexicali, I have to come to their defense. I have quite a few friends and clients that own restaurants and they all seem to have their share of people who've obviously never owned a business, much less a restaurant. If you want cheap and unhealthy food with no caloric value, don't eat here. Go to TB for that. And if you think splitting 1 salad and 1 soda between 3 people is ok while you have your 2 hour company meeting or family reunion is ok, again, go to TB. I see this happen all to often while eating here. This is a family owned business, not a franchise with corporate funding. In regards to catering, I've used them many times. Always professional and timely. Mexicali Grill is an Anchor for McHenry Village. read more

Is there a rating lower than one star? We used to be regular customers. The food is good but the owner is a jerk. I printed out a coupon for free chips and salsa (they only cost a dollar) and presented it to him. He handed it back saying "it's not ours" in a loud voice and just stood there staring at me. I re-examined the coupon which said Mexicalli Grill but then in really fine print it said it was for a place in Santa Clara. It was embarrassing to me because the owner acted like I was trying to gyp him out of a dollar's worth of chips. We left. He lost a regular customer. We will never go back. There are a lot of Mexican restaurants in Modesto--all of which have food as good; chips and salsa are free and have better customer relations. It wasn't the cost of the chips but rather the owner's attitude that was offensive. read more

Mmmm... As soon as I sat down to write this review, I realized how much I am craving some of their food! Hands down the finest, freshest, and reasonably priced Mexican food! This place is gourmet, and has both traditional and creative plates. The service is superb! They have all been helpful, genuine, authentic, and put a personal touch on the experience. Also must mention the noticeably high-quality ingredients... you can taste the difference immediately. I've been telling everyone about this spot! read more

love this place...I'm here once a week for my bikini bare burrito...it's so nice to know your food is made to order...but most of all I can eat cleanly without cooking myself...what a treat!!! read more

I love their shrimp quesadillas as far as Ive seen best in town. (they actually de-vein their shrimp!) I would give them another star, but I always feel like I'm paying a tad too much. Great for when you want Mexican but don't want to feel sick afterwards! read more

I came to Mexicali grill a few weeks ago from a recommendation from my daughters stylist. When we walked in it was completely empty which always scares me off a little bit but we decided to follow through and eat there. The person working at the counter was very polite and I asked him what was the most popular item on the menu. He said it was the Taco Salad, so my daughter and I quickly ordered a Grilled Chicken Taco Salad. Here are my complaints: there was one chip popping out of the middle of the salad- this taco salad is not in your traditional fried tortilla bowl- instead there were crunched up chips at the very bottom of the salad. Secondly, I did not like how instead of a creamy dressing it was tossed with a vinegarette, not so yummy. Last, now this is gonna seem weird, but the grilled chicken tasted like it was from a Chinese food restaurant. Odd, but my daughter agreed. I love trying places I haven't been to. I was really bummed out this place did not reel me in with their supposed famous taco salad (they even sell the dressing.) I will not be coming back because yes it was that bad. The 2 stars is for the cleanliness and good customer service. read more

customer was great but the food was bland . no flavor what's so ever. salsa tasted like i can get it at the groceries store. no spice what's so ever . nice people but bad food read more

I love any reason to come to the McHenry Village shopping center and this is just one of those reasons. A nice variety of salsa, quality ingredients and both guilty and guilt free menu choices make this a great place to stop and have lunch. read more

Disgusting. Every single thing we ordered was gross and register girl was rude. I ordered the kids meal for my son. The 4.99 kids meal consisted of a quesadilla. Where's the meal? read more

Mexicali Grill has to have the best fish tacos ever! They were light yet very flavorful. I love that their food is not bathed in oil or butter, and you always feel like you are eating something healthy - that's definitely hard to do with Mexican food! Go to Mexicali Grill - you won't regret it. read more
