Mexicali

Feeling decadent on our second night out in a row this time at Mexicali. Arrived late after a few drinks at home with friends.

The food – following a recent trip to Mexico we had low expectations for Mexicali. However, we were pleasantly surprised. Mexican food is very different from Mexico City and feels more Tex Mex. The nachos were for two to share but plenty for four. Everything tasted nice – feels standardised like a chain – even though it’s not… The pitcher of Margarita was great.

The service – kind of left us alone. One of our party was not happy to have his plate taken away after demolishing his burrito in double quick time. (Or we are just slow eaters…)

The atmosphere – we created our own atmosphere (see reference above to pre-drinking)

Value for money – Great!! At £18.50 a head for pitcher, nachos and main this felt like a steal. Also quantity was immense.

An enjoyable night out. In no way did it live up to the amazing variety of tacos we ate in Mexico… but a lot closer to home. We will be back.
