" I decided to check out Calexico after hearing great things, and I was not disappointed! The atmosphere was lively, and my quesadilla was tasty and satisfying. However, I found the portion a bit small for the price. The service was friendly but could be more attentive. Still, I enjoyed my meal and would consider returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great place for casual dining! The burrito bowl was rich and full of ingredients. The seating was cozy, albeit a little overcrowded. The service was prompt, and we received our orders pretty quickly. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a relaxed meal with friends or family. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I went to Calexico looking for great Mexican food and we were not disappointed! The chicken enchiladas were packed with flavor. Their margaritas were a hit too! The only complaint I would have is that the environment is pretty crowded, so be prepared for a bit of noise. Overall, this is definitely a place I want to go back to soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Calexico is a gem in the heart of the city. The service was delightful and the food was beautifully presented. Honestly, my only complaint would be the wait for a table, but it was anticipated due to its popularity. Enjoyed the chicken enchiladas very much, and the overall vibe is well worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Calexico has become one of my go-to places for Mexican food. I love their esquites and the fish tacos are delicious! They have a varied menu and offer some creative cocktails too. The service was great on my last visit; the staff was friendly and helped with my selections. The atmosphere is vibrant, but it can get quite loud at peak hours, which I didn’t mind, but might not be ideal if you’re looking for a quiet meal. Overall, I highly recommend this place for a fun night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had stopped by Calexico after seeing their busy exterior and felt it might be a little overrated. But I gave it a shot and was pleasantly surprised! The trota taco is a must-try, and the drinks are strong and refreshing! It was a little hectic but matched the vibe of NYC. Will definitely recommend to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic place for Mexican food! The carne asada was incredible and full of flavor. The atmosphere was lively, perfect for a night out. Although it was busy, the service was still quick and friendly. I'd definitely return for more! " (*Curated Review*)
