The Cantina Steak was great, and they cooked it just right. Definitely going to eat here again.

We recently dined in at Mexicali Restaurant and were immediately impressed by the cozy ambiance and inviting decor — definitely a great first impression. However, as someone who frequently enjoys Mexican cuisine, I’ve always believed that salsa is the real first taste test of any good Mexican spot. Unfortunately, the salsa here didn’t quite meet expectations! it lacked the punch and freshness we were hoping for.
We ordered the Combo Mexicali which included chicken, mushrooms, and shrimp a dish that sounded delicious on the menu. Things took an odd turn when the server asked how we’d like our chicken cooked — well-done, medium, or undercooked. That question left us a bit confused, as undercooked chicken isn’t just unappetizing, it’s unsafe. I’ve never heard of being given that option in any restaurant, and it felt like a pretty strange oversight.
Overall, while the ambiance was great and the concept of the combo was solid, the experience was slightly marred by the strange cooking question and the underwhelming salsa. There’s definitely potential here, but a few things need fine-tuning to match the vibe with the food quality and service awareness.

This place is across the street to Showcase cinemas. We had a movie booking hence decided to stop by this Mexican restaurant. My suggestion is this shouldn’t be even your last place to go. They don’t know how a basic cheese quesadilla is made. What I was served is Tortilla pressed with mozzarella cheese. No sauce no Mexican cheese. Their Salsa was very watery and tasteless. While ordering chicken quesadilla we were asked how well cooked the chicken should be ??!! 🤦🏻♀️I am not sure if this is normal. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all.

Your food was flavorless, not to mention your mexicali trio came with 3 barely fried tiny little chimichangas, by tiny, I mean they are a 4th of the size of a normal one, with less meat, so don't waste your money.
This place was great. Good general Mexican food that's not too gentrified.
