" My partner and I stopped by Mexicali for a quick dinner, and it turned out to be a delightful experience. The atmosphere was friendly, almost like a homey feel with outdoor seating available. We tried their nachos as an appetizer which were quite filling and deliciously topped with guacamole. Following that, the shrimp tacos surpassed my expectations with their rich flavors. Service was prompt; the staff seemed genuinely happy to be there! Definitely going back as I’ve got my eyes on their tortas! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Mexicali after hearing such good things, yet I left feeling underwhelmed. The al pastor tacos, while decent, didn't have quite the crunch I was hoping for. The waitstaff were pleasant but not particularly attentive which led to a feeling of being overlooked. The seating situation was uncomfortable due to the crowd. I think I might try it again but will be more specific with my order next time for a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" The tacos here are absolutely fantastic! I’ve tried various spots in LA, but Mexicali truly stands out. The flavors in their al pastor tacos burst in your mouth. I also loved the variety of salsas available at the salsa bar. The setting is casual and laid-back, but on my visit, the service was surprisingly slow, which took away from an otherwise excellent meal. Still, the food quality made it worth the wait. I will definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I will wholeheartedly recommend Mexicali Taco & Co to my friends! The carne asada burrito was fantastic, not too saucy but perfectly flavorful. It was large enough that I could only finish half! The service staff was so cheerful and attentive. It’s a charming little taco joint which makes it super comfy for a lunch stop. Occasionally, it does get a bit noisy, but it adds to the lively vibe of the place. Overall, a great spot to grab delicious tacos! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at Mexicali Taco & Co felt like a delightful escape into authentic flavors. The fish tacos were incredibly fresh and loaded with toppings which made every bite enjoyable. The salsa bar offered a variety of sauces. Although it was busy during my visit, the service remained friendly and attentive. The environment exudes a casual and fun vibe. I felt the portions were generous and truly enjoyed my meal. Highly recommend it for taco lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a taco from Mexicali and honestly, it didn’t quite live up to the hype for me. The flavors were somewhat muted compared to others I’ve had around town. Service was fine, but nothing to write home about. I think I’d rather explore other places next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic place for tacos! I had the carne asada and it was absolutely delicious. The portion sizes were quite generous too! The atmosphere has a great vibe, though it can get crowded during the weekend. Service was quick and friendly, which was a plus. I am definitely coming back, especially for their taco bar with all those delicious salsas! " (*Curated Review*)
