Mexicali Fresh

The guy blasted through this service, failing to ask or listen to my preferences. I have about 20 jalapeños on my taco salad, when I usually like to request just half a dozen, but I got tired of correcting his assumptions of my order. Also the other sauces weren’t available, with no alternatives offered, so I just have sour cream. I understand that they are busy, but if you just take a bit more care; it will actually make the process a whole lot easier quicker and smoother :)

The foods good, I usually get the taco salad as it's so filling. Just wish there a bit more meat without having to get the double meat. The Mexican drinks are awesome, they used to sell Ben and jerries. I only got it twice so guessing it just didn't sell too well. Fast and friendly service team. Don't see the same people much, think they must have a rotating roster or something.

Absolutely lovely service, lovely location, I have no complaints. Slam dunk for 5 stars across the board. But now for the fun part. Burrito was an 8/10 (at least by my standards). Excellent construction and ingredient choice (I got the bandito, so barbacoa beef) the salad's addition of cabbage is a great balance of flavor. The chipotle sauce works very well with the meat choices, adding a sweet and sour flavor that extends on your protein choice. Guac is amazing and I personally always recommend adding jalapeños. The reason it loses its 10/10 rating is the barbacoa seasoning and rice. The rice problem is simple, it's too coarse. The shear almost woodlike texture of the rice works well in small amounts to add texture variety into a dish. However it shares a similar style of texture to the barbacoa beef and the burrito, so it's simply unnecessary. It doesn't really take anything away from the dish, however it's disappointing knowing how much better a softer rice would have been. As for the barbacoa beef seasoning, it's impeccable. For the first part of the flavor. The first flavor of the barbacoa is smoky and delicious, and I will probably choose it again. However the beef's middle flavor and aftertaste are almost nonexistent. This isn't a problem for the dish. The sauces, salsa and salad are perfectly made to round of the flavor of the burrito, but if you do not choose your bites carefully you may just end up with a mouthful of bbq sand.
