" I always recommend Cafe Mexicali to friends and they seem to love it too! The chicken burrito with avocado is so packed with ingredients, it’s definitely worth the price! Each time I've eaten there, I’m pleasantly surprised by the level of service received. It's casual and welcoming—perfect for a quick bite. Highly recommend trying their aguas frescas, too! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I found the taste of the food to be satisfactory overall, I can't say I was well impressed. Cafe Mexicali does have a nice environment, and the placement of tables encourages conversation. However, my carne asada tacos left me wanting in flavor compared to other local spots. I may visit again, but I suppose it didn't warrant my initial enthusiasm. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Cafe Mexicali left me intrigued. The food was interesting, but some of the flavors felt a bit off. The carne asada was well-cooked but lacked seasoning. On the other hand, their service was friendly and the ambiance infused with a lively spirit made my visit pleasant. I may return to explore more of what’s on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Hands down one of the best burritos I've ever had! The carnitas burrito at Cafe Mexicali was over the top! It was packed with flavor and the tortilla was fresh. I also enjoyed their salsa selections. The staff were friendly, but the line moved a bit slow on my visit. Still, the delicious food made it worth the wait. Will ravenously come back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I decided to try out Cafe Mexicali and had a lovely experience. The staff was inviting and explained the menu thoroughly, which was helpful for us as first-timers. The chicken tinga tacos were delicious—they had hints of smokiness that made them stand out. The portions seemed just right, although I wouldn't mind them being a little larger. All in all, a great spot to enjoy some Mexican flair! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking for a flavorful Mexican cuisine experience and Cafe Mexicali delivered! The pork green chili burrito was outstanding, wrapped in a fresh tortilla that held together perfectly, no leaks at all! The staff was friendly and attentive, which enhanced the atmosphere. My only criticism would be the lack of seating on busy days—plan ahead. But overall, I highly suggest giving it a try! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Cafe Mexicali after hearing all the buzz, but my experience was mixed. The food was decently tasty but not quite as authentic as I expected. The beef tacos were good, but I've had better elsewhere. Service was okay, but we had to wait longer than expected for our order. The atmosphere was lively, and I loved the decorative touches. I might return, but I wouldn't be in a hurry. " (*Curated Review*)
