Mexicali Blues

My favorite Mexican spot!🌮 The food is always amazing, and the staff is incredibly friendly. They’re super generous with ingredients, but the food is never too heavy or overly spicy. My all-time favorites are the enchiladas and the fried shrimp tacos🍤 But also the fajitas. And the burritos…. everything😅 I recently tried the torta too, and the red sauce was so unique and delicious. And the horchata! honestly the best I’ve ever had!

The food here was absolutely outstanding — far more refined and clean-tasting than the Mexican food we usually have in Toronto. Camarones al ajillo was our first time trying this dish, and it completely won over our entire family. The shrimp were rich and flavorful, and the rice was light, fragrant, and gently infused with tomato — truly delicious. The service was excellent, and we were especially impressed with the kids’ menu. There were plenty of options, and everything our children tried was tasty and well made. It’s a great restaurant for a relaxed and enjoyable family meal with kids. Happy hour margaritas were also a nice bonus for the adults. We stopped by while traveling, and it turned into one of the highlights of our trip. We would absolutely come back and highly recommend this

Was walking through Arlington and found this spot by accident. Glad that I did; very delicious tacos (shrimp and barbocoa) and al pastor burrito. Perfectly seasoned with great drinks. New go to spot for late night chills.

July 31st, 2025 at 7pm. I’ve visited this restaurant several times over the years and have always enjoyed the food and ambiance. However, my recent visit left me disappointed and concerned about the level of service. I arrived a few minutes late to meet a friend for dinner, and unfortunately, neither of the two waiters who came to our table offered me a menu or asked if I needed anything aside from a drink. This lack of basic courtesy and attentiveness was surprising, especially considering the positive experiences I’ve had here in the past. One of the waiters—photo attached—appeared more focused on his phone than on the customers, which may explain the inattentiveness. Customer service plays a major role in the dining experience, and unfortunately, this visit fell far short of expectat

This is a fun Mexican restaurant that is usually busy but it is a real mystery as to why. We've consistently found the food and service to be below average. Overcooked meats, cloying sauces, etc. It is a fun atmosphere for sure but there are countless better choices for Mexican food in the area.
