The food here was absolutely outstanding — far more refined and clean-tasting than the Mexican food we usually have in Toronto. Camarones al ajillo was our first time trying this dish, and it completely won over our entire family. The shrimp were rich and flavorful, and the rice was light, fragrant, and gently infused with tomato — truly delicious.
The service was excellent, and we were especially impressed with the kids’ menu. There were plenty of options, and everything our children tried was tasty and well made. It’s a great restaurant for a relaxed and enjoyable family meal with kids. Happy hour margaritas were also a nice bonus for the adults.
We stopped by while traveling, and it turned into one of the highlights of our trip. We would absolutely come back and highly recommend this place.

This is a fun Mexican restaurant that is usually busy but it is a real mystery as to why.
We've consistently found the food and service to be below average. Overcooked meats, cloying sauces, etc.
It is a fun atmosphere for sure but there are countless better choices for Mexican food in the area.

Angel is awesome! He’s a great bartender and server who’s always friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. Drinks are always on point, service is fast, and he makes you feel welcome every time you come in. Even when it’s busy, he stays positive and keeps things moving smoothly. Definitely makes the experience better—highly recommend asking for Angel if you can!

My favorite Mexican spot!🌮
The food is always amazing, and the staff is incredibly friendly.
They’re super generous with ingredients, but the food is never too heavy or overly spicy.
My all-time favorites are the enchiladas and the fried shrimp tacos🍤 But also the fajitas. And the burritos…. everything😅
I recently tried the torta too, and the red sauce was so unique and delicious.
And the horchata! honestly the best I’ve ever had!

Just got take out and door dash messed things up a bit. Mexicali blues (specifically Angel!!!) was so quick to provide a solution and amazing customer service. Not to mention the food was absolutely scrumptious. Thank you Angel and the entire team for making sure we had a delicious sunday dinner

Worker slapped me when I was sitting on a table outside the store. Without asking me to get off simply slapped me and then started yelling. Possibly the worst employees possible. Literally assaulted me.

If you want exceptional service as well as Delicious and fresh taquitos tacos and fajitas. This is the place for you. If you’re here for drinks, then you’re in the right place because they have a variety of options for you. You must try the margaritas and the Palomas you will not regret!

Was walking through Arlington and found this spot by accident. Glad that I did; very delicious tacos (shrimp and barbocoa) and al pastor burrito. Perfectly seasoned with great drinks. New go to spot for late night chills.
