Great little Mexican restaurant. Its not to big inside, we went for breakfast on a Saturday. It was crowded but we were able to get a seat. Food is excellent and reasonably priced. Bloody Mary was delicious!

I’m in a electric wheelchair and couldn’t get in the place the threshold was too high. It doesn’t seem like a big deal unless you can’t walk. The train passes by and you can’t hear anything

El Mexicali Café off Indio Blvd has always been a must-stop for us on the way to Stockton, but today’s visit was even better than usual. The chile colorado con costillas de puerco with nopales, rice, and beans was absolutely outstanding—rich in flavor and cooked to perfection.

The customer service was equally impressive. As soon as we arrived, a gentleman greeted us with chips and salsa, followed quickly by a refreshing glass of ice water with a slice of lemon. Coming out of Arizona, that cold ice water was especially appreciated!

Our server was very friendly and attentive, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was an excellent visit, and we’ll definitely be back on our next trip to or from Arizona.

I have been living in the dreaded disgusting south (TN). Oh how I’ve missed good Mexican food! El Mexicali hits the spot. The salsa is delicious and just the right amount of heat. I had a breakfast plate of eggs, potatoes and beans which was very good. And the tortillas are fresh. Friendly service.

This is a terrific little local Mexican restaurant in Indio, right up against the railroad tracks, which actually adds a lot of charm! I love to have a good crispy taco while a train passes by for 20 minutes rumbling my table and everything around me! If you think I’m kidding, I’m not! I really like this place the beans and rice top-notch the shredded beef tacos top-notch the Machacca fantastic! I really enjoy this place and they serve great margaritas. It’s super friendly and inviting and there’s all kinds of people there but mainly this is a local place where the local Hispanic crowd likes to meet and eat! Highly recommended for casual and authentic lunch or dinner!

Great chips. Good salsa. Good all meat Chile Verde burrito. Nice patio area. They have baby size burritos which are nice if you don't eat that much.
