In Short – Dark wood, dim lighting and tables shoved close together make this cantina feel quite cozy. In the loud, crowded bar, 30-somethings sip margaritas. In the dining room, they nosh on a seafood-heavy menu of Cal-Mex cuisine. Popular dishes include the seared ahi tuna, seviche, as well as more traditional favorites like shrimp quesadillas and steak burritos.

A GREAT FIND IN THE VALLEY!

THE OTHER EVENING WAS OUR FIRST VISIT TO MEXICALI AND WE REALLY ENJOYED OURSELVES. I STARTED WITH THE SANGRIA AND MY GIRLFRIEND HAD THE MARGATINI. BOTH FRESH AND VERY POTENT! THEY OFFER SPECIALS ON THERE MENU SO WE STARTED WITH THE GRILLED ARTICHOKE WITH A BELL PEPPER MAYO. GREAT. I HAD THE CALI CHICKEN AND SHRIMP AND MY GIRLFRIEND HAD THE POLLO VERDE. IT WAS A BURRITO WITH ROTISSERIE CHICKEN, SPINACH, GUYERE CHEESE AND TOMATILLO SALSA. BOTH VERY TASTY.
- Pros: FOOD, DRINKS, MUSIC.
- Cons: NON-SMOKING PATIO.

Good Times, Great Margaritas
by nkking13 at Citysearch
I am new in town and a friend insisted that I try this restaurant she's been going to for years. At first, I was suspect, I am not a huge fan of Mexican food but everything looked so good. We came in during their happy hour and had to wait for a short period of time but it was worth it when I saw the happy hour menu. We ordered a pitcher of margaritas (yes, they offer Pitchers of Margarita's!!) and the nachos with chicken. The nachos were enough for the two of us and we could not even finish our pitcher. Imagine our surprise when the bill was under 25.00!!
- Pros: Tequila Selection, Happy Hour
- Cons: What Cons ; )

A great night out
by jacky45 at Citysearch
Last night I went out with a couple of friends from work and they took me to this mexican restaurant called Mexicali, we had a great time.
We went a little later in the night after the dinner crowd would have left and it was still pretty lively when we got there. We started out with a round of drinks (which led to a couple of more rounds) and then on to a late dinner. They had lots to choose from on the menu, I had one of their specials...a naked enchilada...and it was really good.
We were there probably 2 hours or so and had a great time. The food and drinks were great (and after 11 we got their late night happy hour prices on drinks) and our waiter was fun. For a great night out with friends I fully recommend this place and will be coming back soon.
