    Burrito bowl
    David T.

    Mexicali cantina is located in what I would describe as a strip mall. Very nicely decorated inside and we were greeted warmly. I ordered a patron margarita and my wife got a coke which was delivered promptly with fresh chips and a carafe of homemade salsa. I had a trio platter of enchilada, tamales and burritos. Very delicious served with rice and some creamy refried beans. My wife opted for a burrito bowl with shredded pork which she thoroughly enjoyed. Very nice meal with excellent service and well worth the price. Wish I lived closer to enjoy more items.

    Front entrance - don't be fooled, it's lovely inside!

    This is our new favorite spot!! Upset it took us this long to find. I will say I was nervous about going in because from the outside it does look.. boarded up almost?? lol respectfully but inside it's absolutely lovely and the food and the service is awesome. Really loved all the tile and the overall vibe, great playlist as well.

    Today my daughter & I stopped in for a lunch date. We each have been craving nachos & quesadilla's. They were well worth our lunch date choice. The staff was very pleasant as always, washing down booths between customers and mask wearing. Also had us sign our name & phone number for contact tracing. Restaurant was clean. Restrooms as well and the food was quick in coming and hot.

    Once again.....excellent! They have mastered the Covet Curse. Unlike many restaurants since covet Mexicali never skipped a beat and prices did NOT go through the roof. Lotsa wait staff and friendly as always so service was A+. Our waitress was amazing. Be prepared to EAT BIG! Ohhh and be sure to have desert!

    Other than the people that answer the phone and don't communicate good english, the food is the best out of every mexicali around.

    The burritos are massive, fork and knife burrito for sure but very good! The margaritas are also yummy. Great stop for a casual dinner out.

    This was a great find in Concord! we didn't make a reservation and showed up at 1 PM on a Sunday…read more There was plenty of parking in the plaza where the restaurant is located. To start with my margarita was delicious. Chips and salsa were complimentary and really good. One of my friends had the pork belly tacos and mentioned that she liked the blue corn tortillas used. My other friend carne asada plate perfectly cooked. I really enjoyed my camarones salseados and found their Mexican rice to be outstanding. As for the desserts - tres leches was amazing. The highlight were their churros. I am still thinking about those churros and will need to go back sooner rather than later to get them again.

I got to enjoy it again at the Concord Location last week and it was worth every one of the fifteen dollars spent. The carnitas burrito was also delicious. The sauce was good, the meat was good, the red cabbage on top pleased me very much. It was incredibly mild which surprised me - I remember the food at the Devens location being a bit spicier than I was comfortable with. But all the flavors were wonderful. I did not mind that it was mild. I was very happy. My friend got the Carnitas bowl. and she was also happy with it but surprised how mild it was. But Carnitas is usually pretty mild. The inside of the restaurant was really nice too. It felt like a good night out. It can get pricy, but the flavors are all so good. Fully worth it. This is a nice location in a quiet area - feels different from the one in Devens which is near some hotels and has a party vibe. I'd go to either location and enjoy myself. Good stuff. good job.

The place is huge, on point cultural music (albeit loud- I'm old I like quieter) and the queer o meter is a perfect 10. Most excellent. The complimentary chips n salad were delicious. Thin, warm and lightly salted with just enough heat to the salsa and nice flavor. The rest is pretty straightforward- a chicken quesadilla that was jammed with cheese. It oozed out of the sides. And a steak fajita - both were very very good. The fajita had a great flavor, hot and piled high with peppers and onions. The steak slices were tender and delicious too - I will put out there that might be the only "con" it, in my opinion, could've done with 3 or 4 more slices of steak. However there is an epic amount of the peppers and onion which I 100% appreciate. Our waitress was so friendly and top notch. Accommodating and available without hovering. Food was delicious, service wonderful and atmosphere comfortable (sans loud music ha ha) The prices seem to be higher than other Mexican places - ie. The fajita was $21 and usually I'd venture to say that's the shrimp or combo cost, not steak or chicken. So overall they are about $3 higher. In the end I was fine with that bc it's really good and I would go back! Thank you El Patron Corona!! Cheers!

Maybe it was due to the weather or the fact that it's in an out of the way location. The inside is cute and clean. Lots of Mexican artwork. Their menu has lots of options, but we went with a lunch sized fajita quesadilla and the fiesta burrito. They gave us a lot of food for less than $40 - great value. The chips were thin and warm, which I really enjoyed. The salsa was not hot and had a nice hint of garlic. My burrito was served with a healthy serving of guacamole and sour cream, Mexican rice, and black beans. I loved that the beans were not overly salty and everything was well-spiced. The tortilla was thin, which I enjoyed, and was packed with peppers, onions, steak and cheese. My spouse's quesadilla was filling and well proportioned with cheese, peppers, chicken and onions. We were both so stuffed! The service was a little slow, but efficient , and the presentation was beautiful as you'll see in the photos. We will definitely be back to try more food. Maybe I'll see what's spicy next time!
