" I recently tried Cafe Mexicali with some friends, and it was a delightful experience! The burritos were bursting with flavors, and I loved that they made their tortillas fresh. The atmosphere was relaxed, making it a great spot to catch up. I had the sweet pork smothered burrito, which was flavorful and hearty. However, the service was a bit slow, but the food made up for it. I will definitely be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic food, decent prices, but the service can be hit or miss. I had the nachos, and they were delicious—so much cheese! The atmosphere is casual and laidback, which I liked for a quick meal, but I faced a few hiccups with accuracy in my order. Overall, it meets expectations for a casual dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! Cafe Mexicali truly brings a taste of Mexico to Fort Collins. The atmosphere is charming, with friendly staff who make you feel at home. I ordered the steak burrito, and it did not disappoint—it was gigantic! The flavors were spot on, and I loved how fresh everything tasted. It's a bit of a college hangout, but that only adds to its charm. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy delicious Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I expected more from this restaurant given its popularity. The food was decent, but it didn't have the authentic flavor I crave. I ordered tacos, and while the fillings were fresh, the sauces felt bland. The ambiance was lively, which I enjoyed, and the service was friendly but could have been quicker. I might give it another shot, but only if I’m in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" The service was quick, although it felt a bit rushed. I ordered a combination platter, but I felt the flavors were muted compared to what I’ve had in other places. The ambiance is casual and fun, but the food didn’t have the authentic punch I was hoping for. I might try again later, but I’ll probably explore other options first. " (*Curated Review*)
