Reviews Summary
Mexicalli offers a generally positive experience with its authentic Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes like tasty burritos and tacos. Diners appreciate the pleasant environment and respectful waitstaff.

"Burrito was very tasty"

"The food is good, was what we expected! Today they were serving all you can eat "rodízio" but the service was away too slow, took very long to get the first dishes and even longer for the second! A la cart way should be better!
The environment is good, the waiters are very respectful!
I would come back in a less crowded day!"
