Mexicali is a true triple threat - amazing food, service and atmosphere! Thanks to James, Nate and Bernadette for making me so at home every time I visit. p.s. get the grilled artichoke. so good!

The decor is nondescript, but the food is quite good, and certainly better than the various other more atmospheric Mexican restaurants nearby. Great salsa to start, delicious cheese enchiladas with mole sauce, and terrific service by our always conscientious server Michael. He makes it a pleasant experience to eat there every time.

Went out for a late lunch with my fam, they still had the brunch menu going which was great! Ordered the tamale hash with eggs and it was delish!🤤

Everyone was very nice. I got the carnitas to go, I would suggest fresher pork, and if fresher a little more than the small portion. The flour tortillas were hard, even after I warmed them. After work I ordered and really just wanted a good meal.

Was really good right up to the point I was time I was served the allergen I explicitly told them was, in fact, an allergen and not a preference. And they just said "oh sorry" and walked away.

The food was good even if it made me horribly sick for over a week now

Rude and abrasive. Food has deteriorated over the past couple of decades. So sad to see the decline

Food was not good, not terrible, not great, but not good. Tasteless (I don't have the 'Vid). The cheese sauce that came with my friends Flautas tasted canned and processed. I had the Tuna Tacos. They were not good.
