I've only ever had the fish tacos, but those are good enough to recommend a trip here. Not much to say about the atmosphere inside, but there's a cool little patio.
Great fish tacos are hard to find, but this place does it right. I'm sure everything else is great too.
My mom invited me to this place since she really enjoyed it. I ended up enjoying it as well. I ordered two shrimp tacos and one mexicali taco with asada. The carne asada isn’t the very best in my opinion…it was very hard to chew on and the flavor of it was bland..
But I really LOVED their shrimp tacos!! I put the guac and hot salsa in them and it was the best flavor ever! They have a little stand with condiments that you can put in your tacos and utensils, sandwich bags, etc. The beans are very delicious as well.
Great salsa selection. The taco dorados have the perfect crunch — very tasty chicken tinga.
The queso fundido is great with the cauliflower.
Mexicali Taco & Co surpassed all expectations. The ambiance was a beautiful fusion of traditional and contemporary elements, making it a perfect spot for a romantic dinner or a lively gathering. The service was attentive and friendly; the staff made us feel right at home. But the star of the show was undoubtedly the food. Each dish was a work of art, impeccably plated and bursting with flavor. The mole poblano was a revelation, and the homemade tortillas were a delightful touch. For a truly memorable Mexican dining experience, look no further!

This is a really small place you wouldn't really pass by unless you knew it existed, coz there aren't many restaurants around. But my, is the food good?!
I found the place online when going through some LA must-eats before a vacation, and it was definitely worth the trip. I had the Chicken Vampiro Quesadilla, couldn't miss out on that now could I, and it was so good! I requested them to use corn tortillas instead of the flour ones, and since those were smaller they made me kind of like a quesadilla sandwich. It was just loaded with meat, and that great garlic sauce. Such an amazing dish. There didn't seem to be any cheese in there, which was good.
I also tried the Chicken Cachetada without cheese, and it was a crispy corn tortilla with another large amount of chicken and their Chipotle aioli. The sauce was nice and spicy, which was just what I was hoping for. I wasn't a fan of the crispy tortilla though, so I think next time I'd just go for a regular quesadilla version instead.
My boyfriend hot the Queso Fundido with chicken, and he really enjoyed it. It came with guacamole and 3 watm soft tortillas. I was expecting the Queso to be a little more on in the liquid side, so it was a bit too thick for me. I wasn't too big a fan of the dish as a whole, guess Monterey Jack isn't my kinda cheese. He also got a horchata, which was good. Not too sweet like most others out there. The quantity was also decent.
The woman at the counter was the sweetest ever, and got along well with all the customers. There also seemed to be some regulars, this place is clearly a hidden gem. Would definitely go back for the Vampiro Quesadilla!
P S. They do accept credit cards, with a $8 minimum.
Good casual Baja Mexico food. The salsa bar is phenomenal. The Al Pastor was not as crispy as I'd like, but everything else was on point. The Vampiro was my favorite and is for a garlic lovers. We added eggs to our dishes. Strongly recommend visiting.
I live around the corner so I do eat here often. Food is reliably tasty. Best to eat outside as the inside dining area isn’t the most comfortable or aesthetically pleasing.
Go to items are the Mexicali burrito, fish taco and Al pastor tacos.
Unfortunately sometimes they mess up on the orders. Recently I ordered al pastor tacos and under up with carne asada. I’d have gone back but they were closed.
Not the end of the world but annoying. So always check before you take your food.
My girlfriend took us here for a quick meal. We had the bowl. It had rice, beans, lettuce, salsa, sour cream, guacamole and Carne asada. It was really good. We also had an Agua Fresca which was so refreshing!
I loved the fish taco 🌮…Horchata, delicious…had a slice of Daddy Zuperman (asada, chicken, al pastor) WILL COME BACK ❤️❤️❤️
Scenery:
The place could have used a bit more light inside. You can probably see from the pictures I posted that it was quite dim despite the great amount California sun outside. The picnic tables inside did feel a little weird to me, but they sufficed my needs.
Service:
Although I came in minutes before closing, the lady at the counter still took my order and served my food. I was impressed. She truly was sweet!
Savor:
I had the chorizo taco and it tasted great. I really liked that they had sauces and toppings readily available on a cart in the corner of the room.
