Very overpriced! Single layer chicken nachos for $27.00. Plus charged for side sour cream and salsa????
Server was horrible. Had to constantly ask for things as she didn’t think we needed napkins?!
The only positive was the view on the patio!
Food, atmosphere and service was great as was the view.

Mexicali Rosa's is a popular Mexican restaurant near Dow's Lake known for its lively atmosphere and tasty dishes. The food includes favorites like Taco Salads and Texas Red Chili, and vegetarian options are available. The restaurant features a rooftop patio, which is great for enjoying the nice weather with friends or family, making it especially popular during the summer and Tulip Festival season. Guests often praise the friendly, attentive, and fast service, especially when celebrating special occasions. The scene offers a lovely view over the lake, creating an inviting atmosphere. The patio is dog friendly, and the restaurant is kid-friendly with accommodations for families. Parking is easy to find just one street up from the restaurant. Visitors recommend the fish tacos, pollo chicken tacos, nachos, and Mango Chilli Margherita. The staff consistently provides great service, and the food is always delicious. However, some cleanliness issues, like cobwebs near light fixtures, unclean washrooms with flies, and the presence of mice near entrances and possibly from the kitchen, have been noted. Despite these concerns, many enjoy dining here, especially during summer on the patio, where the atmosphere is even more enjoyable.
