Calexico is a lively restaurant that is especially popular 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 staff are friendly and attentive, providing great service and making efforts to connect with guests. The restaurant is spacious and easy to get a table, creating a nice 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, a nice outdoor area, and some of the best food in a while, Calexico has potential for many return visits in the future. Guests appreciate the well-portioned dishes and the friendly staff, making every visit a good experience.
