Calexico is a popular and lively restaurant, especially on Friday nights. The food is generally good, with standout tacos that showcase delicious carnitas and pulled pork, which are tender from long cooking. The quesadilla and special fajita burrito are also notable, while the Cali burrito and steak fajitas are considered just average. The chicken enchiladas are visually appealing but may lack freshness. Customers enjoy the guacamole and chips, especially with plenty of lime. The strawberry drink is a highlight, although the strawberry cucumber lemonade has mixed reviews. The service is attentive and personable, with staff and even the manager making an effort to connect with guests. The restaurant is spacious, easy to get a table, and offers a great vibe for hanging out with friends in Upper Manhattan. It is also dog-friendly, making it a great spot for those who want to bring their pets. With fast service and a nice outdoor area, Calexico has potential for many return visits in the future.
