" Just enjoyed a marvelous dinner at Mexicali Cantina Grill! The table-side guacamole was a show stopper and certainly the highlight of the meal. I tried their Carnitas, and they were juicy and flavorful, served with homemade corn tortillas and fresh toppings. The cocktail menu was impressive as well, featuring a variety of margaritas. With excellent service and a cozy atmosphere, we’ll be back for more. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance of Mexicali Cantina is vibrant, and I felt like I was dining in a little piece of Mexico. While the food was great, I did find the mole on my enchiladas a bit different from what I am used to. I appreciate the authenticity but would love to see the original recipe! The staff was attentive and the drinks were strong, so I’ll definitely be back to see how things evolve. " (*Curated Review*)

" Went to Mexicali Cantina for the first time this past weekend. Despite the restaurant being quite busy, the staff did an admirable job making sure we were attended to. The shrimp fajitas were well-prepared and flavorful, not really authentic but tasty nonetheless. I might come back to try their margaritas next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who has traveled extensively across Mexico, I can say that Mexicali is one of the most authentic places I've found in the area. The enchiladas, topped with a rich mole sauce, were simply fantastic. The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, making it easy to enjoy good food and conversation. I will certainly be returning to try more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I utilized takeout from Mexicali Cantina, and everything was still hot and fresh upon arrival. The flavors of the fish tacos were incredible and the quantity was generous for the price. I appreciate how they keep the quality high even for takeout. Definitely one of our top choices for Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been to Mexicali Cantina several times now, and it never disappoints! The nachos are piled high with toppings, which I always appreciate. My kids love it too since there's a great kids menu. The staff is helpful and really makes an effort to ensure a pleasant dining experience. My only wish is for a bit more outdoor seating, as this place fills up fast! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had high expectations for Mexicali, but unfortunately, the food came out lukewarm. I had the chicken burrito which was bland and disappointing. The atmosphere was lively though, and the drinks were strong, which helped salvage the night. I might consider giving them one more chance but I won’t be rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)
