Cooper Smith

The Carne Fries are like poutine and nachos had a beautiful Mexican- Canadian baby. Chile-cilantro fries , covered in cheese sauce , topped w/ beef brisket , onions , beans, pico , sour cream and guac

Michelle Wendy

They have a great lunchtime deal - choose any 2 tacos and it comes w/ a generous side of rice & beans topped w/ freely chopped tomato PLUS a little guac & chips for $10. Prepare to leave stuffed.

Silene Lim

Super casual and hip SoCal Mexican. I had the breakfast burrito at the bar . Burrito was decent. Will definitely go back to try some of the other things on the menu.

Adriana Navarrolino

The service was good, the waitress attentive, good timing, over all nice place for lunch especially when it's a lunch date with your mom...lol :-)

Alex Pyatetsky

Crispy sprouts w peanut sauce and matchstick radish v good. Chipotle wings with pickled green beans also on point (mild for my taste, but very well cooked). Reasonable price for a meal.

Jules

The guac is solid, there are many hot sauce choices, and the food is generally yummy. Drinks tend to be a little sweet or spicy , so come hungry!

Todd Keats

Simply the best. Been coming here almost every Friday night for years. Standard is the Tostada Salad with Steak . Service is great, atmosphere is great, you won't be disappointed.

Michelle Wendy

Their black bean and tofu asado tacos are really solid veg options . You won't feel slighted in the least with either as there's balance of flavours and ingredients, even some complexity in taste.

Kayla Johnson

Get the elote !!!! Fish taco is standard and good- crack sauce really is delicious. Pork taco has great flavor! Get a tecate to wash all the deliciousness down!

Kyle Bye

The Chiclets gum at the end of your meal is a nice touch. Plus, helps settle your stomach after those delicious chicken quesadillas .

Jessica Wickham

Great bar and resturant. Go for 2-4-1 margaritas 4pm - 7pm and stay to enjoy guacamole to start then a great selection of tacos

Chris Cookson

Be sure to check their Twitter before heading out. Not unusual to have a 30 minute wait between noon-1, carne asada quesadilla with chipotle crack sauce to dip is my favorite, no lines at 2pm on

David Saracino

Try the Baja Fish burrito . It's beer-battered with mango salsa , so it's sweeter, but coupled with the spicy slaw , there's a great balance of flavor. If you're afraid of fish in mexican food , try this.

Rob Marceda

Brunch time is the best time. Same perfect margaritas and and delicious food(plus the added benefit of breakfast burritos and quesadillas ) and no wait!

Joaquin Prime

The rolled quesadillas with carne asada and the guacamole and chips are delicious. Make sure you ask for the crack sauce with anything you eat!

Kae Bells

Cute lil spot, their quesadilla especially with the "crack" sauce, the hot wings are on point, so is the blue cheese ! My boyfriend had the taco which he loved.

Chris

The Baja - fish taco - es muy bien. I also suggest the bean burrito bowl . Yes, the crack sauce is good but I don't think you should feel obliged to get something that has it.

Michael Galpert

Order whatever u want and u will be pleased but make sure it has crack sauce and a side of chili cilantro fries ! You're welcome.

Lisa Wisely

Big fan of the bar . Staff is awesome and no matter how packed and full of cool kids this place can get, always feel welcome getting a drink alone at the bar which I guess makes it my new local.

Elvin Ortiz

I been to a lot of places in NY but this one went beyond my expectations, great food, great drinks and great management! Thanks!!!

Nick G

Pork burrito wet! ; ) was delicious. Couldn't partake in bebidas was driving , well was riding my bicycle so yeah. Cool vibe in this joint will be back

سليمان

Equally amazing and an insulting abomination to Mexican cuisine . Best 'hipster tacos ' you'll ever have but do not bring your abuela

Meg Minuskin

jalapeño mint margarita is BOMB and so are the tacos and quesadillas ! BUT not all dishes are created equal. the breakfast burrito is 90% rice and the coffee is watery.

Gothamist

Reminds us of a slightly classier , more charmingly sterile El Chilito. A black bean burrito with a squirt of "crack sauce " and a margarita with a heavily salted rim is all we need to be happy here.

Mark Kupasrimonkol

If you're lucky enough to be here on a weekend get the bacon , egg and cheese breakfast quesadilla it will change your outlook on life.

Lasha

Burritos , tacos ! The crack sauce is a must. Cilantro fries are great!

Chris Kissel

The breakfast burrito is the best thing on the menu! Especially if you're big on rice-y and sauce-y burritos . And the smoked chorizo makes it.

Byron Wilkes

The fish tacos are incredible! The El Jardin cocktail was mediocre the time I tasted it, but the margaritas and chips are on point.

Dana D

The food is solid, but try the chile habanero hot sauce if you want to know how hot Hell is. Wash it down with an El Barrio brew, exclusive from Sixpoint for Calexico.

Jen Ball

When the weather is nice and it's rowdy inside, try and sit in the backyard space. The Gringo taco is a guilty pleasure and, also, thumbs up to the elote .

Ollie Cartwright

Frozen margaritas all day. Great food as well . Can't go wrong.

Margot Mazur

Delicious tofu tacos . Get the mezcal margarita—the bartenders are super friendly so dont be afraid to chat em up.

Ali Skantzos

nice atmosphere, especially on the patio tucked away in the back. Steak fajitas were delicious and burritos were massive.

Ivana Nikolic

Guacamole and chips , vegan bean burrito , and blood orange margarita .

Jeff Petriello

Breakfast nachos are v legit. Not sure if this will be there when you are, but the Grape Ape cocktail special was GREAT.

Ben K.

The chipotle pork rolled quesadilla with a side of crack sauce is a revelation. So cheesy and delicious.

Bonnie Smyth

Everything is perfect. Food, service, ambiance. Baja fish tacos were incredible!

Sarah Bibi

Tofu burritos still exist despite removal from menu. Just ask. If you order tofu burrito bowl , ask for extra cheese . The best.

Cole Kennedy

The Carne Fries are stupidly good. My only, only complaint is that the brisket was a bit fatty. Other than that, dig in.

Christian Grattan

Get extra Crack Sauce and bring presents to Miguel in the take out window at the back. There's a 99 cent store up the block on Manhattan called Dreams. Get him toys from there.

Lizzy Saxe

It's not the best Mexican food , but Calexico is a pretty tasty takeout option and I like their burrito bowls a lot.

Sofia Papastamelos

Great 2 for 1 happy hour brunch deal on the weekends! Loved the breakfast burrito .

Stephanie Yuan

2-for-1 margaritas all night on weekends = efficient. Menus are sticky but they have wet wipes if you just ask!

Vivian Ramirez

Reliable awesome Mexican food and drinks. Pastor taco is dope, nachos not to be missed!

Aaron Allon

Huge fan of the gringo taco . Calexico is more like Taco Bell than traditional Mexican food . In that category it's good.

Drew Christien

If what you ordered doesn't have crack sauce , get the crack sauce as an add-on. You won't regret it.

Ashley Alvarez

Baja fish burrito . Haven't been able to order anything else here since I fell so deeply in love.

Shameen Khan

Best guac I have ever tasted! Great margs , tacos , and nice staff ! ????

Igal Ghitelman

The bowls are yummy but boy do they skimp on the protein

Amy Ho

Much like chipotle. I got the carne asada and the steak was perfectly cooked. Rice to steak ratio was not proportional.
