Sat at the bar and ordered two different burritos, i was starving so i ordered straight away and my friend ordered after me. The gentleman walking around was very attentive and welcoming. The burritos were taking a little longer then we hoped but he came out with complimentary guac and chips which we appreciated so much though was unnecessary because we got so full from the chips!! Hahaha, the lunch special burrito and beer for $15 was great! Will be back soon

Excellent place with arguably the best service team I’ve had the pleasure of being served by.The servers were very nice and efficient and Michael the manager/owner was incredibly gracious regarding an issue with our food.He comped the whole meal because of a minor problem with one of our entrees. This was more than enough and very appreciated.Thank you to the Calexico team and Michael! We’ll be back!

I live nearby and this is my go-to. The team is always welcoming and friendly, and the food is consistently good. Even though Calexico is an NYC brand, feels like a neighborhood spot.
