A charming spot to enjoy brunch. 🍳 Food: Delightful flavors, served at the right temperature.
However, the queso was a bit too runny, and the portion size didn't quite match the price.
Their bottomless mimosas were decent, but the limit of three servings can be a bit of a deal when each glass costs $5. 👨‍🍳 Service: Our waiter was exceptionally courteous, providing the kind of attentive service one would expect from a high-end dining establishment. 🏡 Atmosphere: The restaurant boasts a plethora of cozy booths, and we were fortunate to be seated by the window, adding to the overall experience. 💰 Price: Reasonably priced, with an average cost of around $15 per person.
While some portion sizes left us wondering, the overall value was acceptable.

Thank you.

Everyime I eat on the patio, the younger crowd gets all the attention.
I wait for everything and have to flag the server.
At first I thought it was a coincidence but today has convinced me that the servers attentions are on the younger crowd, not older customers like me.
I’m a regular customer who will patronize, especially if I want outside seating.
This restaurant had always been my favorite 😣.
Inside service is usually excellent!

We love all of our guests equally.

We hope to see you soon.
Thank you for being a loyal Mexicali guest.
We all appreciate your patronage.

Location: Okay, Parking: Okay, Service: Okay, Price for food received: A bit high, Overall first time try and I had heard alot of good things from a frequent visitor.
The place seemed semi busy for a mid afternoon crowd.
Ordered a burrito, and it did have a nice taste to it.
I found the sides of rice and beans to be rather small for the price paid.
Would I go again? Only if required and it was work related.
I give 3 stars and hope they can give bigger portions of rice and beans to future patrons..
