This is the second time we have been here. My husband wanted to eat somewhere else when we pulled in and he saw the sad little sign on the front of some shopping mall. But OMG when you walk in it doesn't look like that at all. It is one of the nicest set up Mexican restaurants around here. The wait staff are cute and sweet as pie. We ordered huge plates of food and they all got eaten. I HATE refried beans. These looks a little more colorful and season then everything else I have ever seen. They tasted GREAT! Kinda like the potatoes from pollo guisado (I'm Puerto Rican) but smushed up. They were a heavenly match to the rest of the food. One thing you can't really claim an issue but needs to be mentioned, watch out for the size of those margaritas. My mom is the only one at the table that drinks them. When we walked in they offered us a large. We had just passed by other table that looked like that punch bowls in front of them so we said no, he offered a med and went to get it. The medium Margarita was the side of my mothers head! She was the only one drinking it so she drank like 2 maybe 3". It's VA so you can't take it home GREAT place to eat and we will be back here again read more

The food here is very good and the service is excellent. The staff was super friendly and attentive. I live about 40mins away but will frequent this place when I'm around. read more

I would've given this spot a 4 star if it wasn't for them not being able to cook tuna medium, twice. The tacos were decent food, would've been better if they were cooked medium as asked. Service was excellent, the deals and prices of everything is explosively good. Six tacos, nigh endless nachos and a margarita too big for one person with decent alcohol content without being overpowering came to about $36, which is exceptional for the value. Good place. read more

They are always friendly and fast when bringing out our food! Delicious also! Nice decor as well. We will be going back!

Our favorite Mexican spot in Williamsburg. Great food, great service, good prices. Try the bean dip, you won't be sorry.

The staff here obviously loves their guests. The service is excellent. With reasonable prices and really tasty food, it was a great lunch choice. We had 4 people and each had a different dish. All were really pleased. Go, enjoy, have fun and get the queso! read more

Never had a bad meal here, and I have visited this place quite frequently. Good food, fast service, fun atmosphere. A little loud, sure, but it's part of the overall ambiance. They don't waste your time and they don't avoid your table once you've been served. I've had the chicken nachos, the burrito supreme, and the arroz con pollo. All great meals and the price is right. All this great value, AND they serve Pacifico beer! read more

I love this place. It has a very homey atmosphere. I feel super comfortable there. The food was excellent.

One of the best Mexican restaurants in the area! Their margaritas are amazing! Food is also delish. Do not let this ne pass on by!

You know Mexican food can be really hit or miss outside border towns or in areas without many Latinos. This place was like a hole in the wall of good ole Mexican-flavor and authenticity is unmatched for the area. I got the texas fajitas and was pleasantly surprised. Take a look at it- sizzler of meats and peppers . Was fantastic and delicious . Servers were good too but in a hurry to get the next order. That's a good thing as they don't leave you waiting long . read more

If I could give more stars, I would. The service was excellent. The staff was so friendly. They make guacamole in front of you. Their portions are large and the food was amazing.

I am not from the region but will definitely come back when I'll come back to Williamsburg. read more

Based on yelp reviews, we tried this Mexican restaurant. We were greeted as soon as we entered and seated immediately. The waiter came over quickly with chips, very watery salsa and Mexican Mayo. My wife ordered American style beef tacos and I ordered chicken tacos. The chicken tacos came with cilantro and raw onion. They were nothing to write home about as they were pretty bland. My wife's ground beef taco was slightly more seasoned, but still pretty average. If you're looking for safe, bland Mexican food, then this is your place. read more

What a great whole in the wall Mexican place. Noisy and lively atmosphere that is great for kids. We ordered steak tacos for the boys. He had veggie fajitas and I had steak and shrimp that sizzled. Chips were great. The best thing is that it was soooo close to the Great Wolf Lodge and took 5 minutes to get here. We all got to practice our spanish too. Very affordable and love the music. read more

Big sunny, clean Ordered Tortas (Mexican sandwiches) and they were HUGE - bigger than depicted in the picture on the online menu. They were also tasty and I'm looking forward to (a) having my leftovers for dinner and (b) coming back next time I'm in the area. The waitstaff is attentive and polite and the food was delivered promptly and as ordered. read more

No other Mexican restaurant is as good as this one. Just about every time we go here, we get the Carne Asada Fries-they DO NOT disappoint! Fast and friendly service too! Love this place! read more

Husband and I stopped on our way home from being away. They have lunch specials that are good on weekends. I always try flautas if they are on the menu. They weren't too bad, but extra $1.50 for the cheese sauce and either they forgot it or it just wasn't that much. I would usually question it, but was tired after traveling all day so I let it go. Decided to celebrate the 5th on the 4th, the margarita was from a bottle mix and you could tell. I could have gotten another lunch meal for what it cost. All in all, the food wasn't too bad. I wouldn't go out of my way to go there, but would probably go there again if in the area. The staff was friendly and fun. read more

Love this place so much. Totally worth the drive from Williamsburg to get authentic and tasty Mexican food at affordable prices. The interior isn't clean but the food is amazing. Like seriously, check around, this place offers the best deals. read more

Good very good and the service is excellent I like going there very comfortable atmosphere

Nice restaurant with plenty of options for lunch or dinner. Great service and reasonable prices.

Sigh, I wanted and expected more from Taco Mexicali. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad at all, it's just that there's nothing too special that sets it apart from anywhere else. My dad had actually recommended this place to me as it's somewhere he and my stepmom have visitted several times when shopping at the outlets. I mentioned it to the crew that I go to Taco Tuesday with and everyone was on board. The lighting inside is a little dim and the furnishings could use some modernization, but all in all it's a clean and welcoming atmosphere. There was certainly more space than I was expecting. The menu is a tad on the confusing side. As with most Mexican restaurants, they have a separate lunch and dinner section. I spent about 5 minutes searching through the dinner section before I realized the taco list was actually on the first page of the menu book under the appetizers. I ended up ordering the fish tacos (an order comes with 2 for $4), a standard hard shell beef taco, which was a little under $2, and a side of rice and beans. The fish tacos were the best part. The tilapia was fresh and the meat was tender and flavorful. The presentation was lacking, however. They basically just placed the fish atop two tortiallas without separating them out. The plain taco was just that- nothing special (not that it was expected). When I ordered rice and beans, I expected them to be served together on a plate as a single side dish, however they ended up coming out in two separate large bowls. I would have only ordered one of the two had I known. The refried beans were actually quite delish, the rice was pretty dry. Everyone else also ordered tacos and I don't think anyone was blown away, while there were also no comlaints. The HH specials included $2 bottled domestic beers, $2.50 bottled imports, and $3 16 oz margaritas. These were pretty good deals (though I didn't have a marg to give an opinion on the strength). I'll note that all of the tacos are served plain, with only meat, so that you can dress them yourself at the salsa bar, which includes a few different types of salsa, peppers, fresh onions, cilantro, pico and lettuce. This was kind of nice. I didn't realize it was even there until after we were on our second basket of chips. The service was pretty good all-around. Our server was prompt in refilling our chips. All in all, I think our group prefers the tacos at El Sabroson and the regular items at El Tapatio better. The prices for tacos and beer here are a bit cheaper, but the other dinner entrees are about the same (mostly in the $10-$12 range). read more
