Mexicali Mexican Grill

To start we had two of the yummiest Tropical margaritas. My mother got the blackberry and I got the passion fruit, both frozen both absolutely delicious and well made. My mother got the Mexicali Burrito with steak, needless to say she wasn’t impressed. At first the wrong one came out (chicken instead of the steak), but our waitress was very accommodating and quickly had it corrected. So, it costs extra to get the steak which wouldn’t have been a problem if there was a decent amount in there. The refried beans that were supposed to be throughout were only on one side. It was mainly the topping that was plentiful (you can see what I mean in the photo). However, I thoroughly enjoyed my Mexico City Tacos, the meat was very tender and tacos were filled nicely. Love the mango dressing that came with it! Overall not a bad place for drinks and I guess it’s a hit or miss with entrees. But we’ll be back to try some other things out for sure. I’ll update when we do.

From the moment I called to order i should've known this was going to be unpleasant. I ordered 2 carne asadas WELL DONE rare meat makes me sick. I asked the girl if they had horchata (basic Mexican drink) she did not know what it was, she asked someone else, she then came back on the phone and said yes. I asked the sizes, she said regular and a very small one so I ordered 2 regular and I said NO ICE PLEASE she said yes no problem, I asked how long and she said 15-20 mins. 20 minutes later I go inside to pick up and she says "it's not ready MAYBE 10 more minutes " I asked how if they said 15-20 mins, she said well we are backed up but maybe is just 5 mins (without even confirming) I asked can she please check on time. She checks and comes back and says you're order is next. Finally my order comes out and I noticed she gave me 2 cups full of ice and not enough horchata. I then said to her "I dont mean to be a pain but I ordered no ice" she took the drinks and 5 minutes later another lady comes and gives me 2 small cups I then mentioned I had paid for 2 REGULAR SIZE DRINKS NOT MINI she says to me very nasty " WE DON'T HAVE REGULAR THIS IS THE SIZE FOR NO ICE DRINKS" like wth I had no idea there is such thing as no ice size cups (beyond me) so at this point I'm frustrated because we are not from here we are on a business one day stay, so I said you just took 2 regular cups so very rudely she answers and says fine we will void it. We finally get to the hotel to eat and the amount of rice in the plate was a joke it was less then 1/4 of a cup we open the tortillas and to our surprise we had flour tortillas after the girl had asked if we wanted corn or flour we obviously said corn but nope we got flour. We cut into our meat and yup you guessed it "IT WAS FREAKING PINK" food had barely any flavor and beans tasted canned. Worst experience and customer service ever. If you're craving Mexican food you're better off going somewhere else. Unless the experience is different eating in.

I had the pork carnitas chimichanga and it was delicious! Full of meat from one side to the other. My friend had the pollo en crema and she said it was good. My mom and my boyfriend had a chicken chimichanga and they both said it barely had chicken. I was not a fan of the Margarita but their chips and salsa were really good. They waitress was great and great service from the minute you walk in through the minute you leave.
