Lunch specials under $5, dinner prices not much more. Love the salsa and I have the menu memorized. Ive been coming to Mexicali since before some of the wait staff were born, back in its old Casa View location in 1992. Just had lunch there today, and the food showed up promptly and tasted delicious. Its within 2 miles of my house, so its home for me. After eating here for 18 years, I can still get bites of food that make me hesitate and think about how *just right* they are. The service is always great and I always get to tell the managers that everything was great. They havent coasted or taken anything for granted in 18 years. I see some bad reviews and I cant help but wonder if the guys that wrote those reviews werent right in the head. This is a no-frills place, take it as it is. Ive loved it from my first taste, 18 years ago.

I came here because this place had a bunch of great reviews, but I was very disappointed. The salsa didnt have much flavor to it, and it didnt have much heat to it either. I asked our waiter if they had any hotter sauce and he just brought out a bowl of pureed jalapenos. We ordered a bowl of queso with our chips and it was thin and bland. I ordered tacos al carbon and they were average tasting at best. They came with Spanish rice and refried beans, and the rice was very bland. My guest ordered sour cream enchiladas and they were bland and average, at best.

I have eaten at Mexicali for years when I visit Dallas. This is one of the best Tex-Mex restaurants in the Dallas-Ft.Worth Metro Plex. People who think that On the Border is good are crazy. The owner at Mexicali is always nice and kind hearted. Come to this precious gem in Dallas if you get the chance. These mom and pop spots are hard to find these days. Overall my experiences are great. Chips and salsa are out of this world

I have eaten here hundreds of times. It is the classic hole in the wall place that stays relatively unknown. I think they are top 3 tex-mex food in Dallas. Ive brought many friends to eat with me and all are very pleased. At first look you think they have failed a health department inspection...but dont be fooled. Their food is fantastic!!!! Order the chicken fajitas (my favorite).

I tried again for the 5th time but it is horrible. The food was cold and the service was horrible. I asked the wait staff for water and they bring me a glass that was cloudy. The food took 35 minutes to be served and it was cold. Taking to the manager/owner did not help. He told me to take my business somewhere else. I think I will listen to his advise. Keep Away.

My parents started taking me as a toddler to this restaurant and now, over 20 years later, I am still going. Their service is excellent and the owners take time to get to know each of their regular customers. It is cozy and decorated simply, but tastefully. Great for small groups, couples or individuals. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

A solid local favorite. Good, basic, fast, delicious food. Part of me doesnt want to tell you how much I love this place, because it means youll keep me from getting a table quickly, but this is a place worthy of praise. Dont expect the true authentic experience, or anything like modern fusion. This is just good Tex-Mex. Love it for what is is.

This is hands down my most favorite restaurant. The food is always consistently delicious, the service is by far the best service always, and you cant beat the prices. Also, the smell when you walk in the door,omg so good :) Ive been a loyal customer for about 4 years so I figure its about time I write a review.

I was let down. I was expecting better food from all the hype in the reviews. It was just okay. Prices were reasonable. Service was okay. I just dont get what all the hype is about the food but its not that great. I have had worse but Ive definitely had better food then this place.

We drive 20 miles each way to dine here twice per week for years. The food is always fresh and hot and is best Tex Mex Food in Dallas not to mention the prices are a bargain. I have never met anyone that has dined here that did not speak highly of it.

It is Tex-Mex...basic, cheap, and filling. But in Dallas, you have to go over to Maple Ave. to find all of the above; short of this place. This beats dealing with scene at MiCo-s, and you save $30!! A $2 margarita and a plate full of goodness!!

Excellent food. Our waiter was fast and attentive to our table. Kept our glasses filled. The hostess and rest of staff were not customer service originated, but not rude. Prices are reasonable. I would recommend if in the area.

#1 place we go to right after church --Bethel is in the next lot -- and for all other occasions. Weve been going there so long, they bring a bowl of salsa instead of the mini ones because we drink it like water.
