Eat quite a bit in the Low Desert plenty of Great places. This restaurant is Amazingly yummy and pretty authentic. A small Ma & Pa type place, but those are the best! Friendly staff, good service, delicious Mexican Food! Not too pricey especially for the decent quality. I'd Go back for sure, new regular spot.
The food here is incredible! And they are large portions. None of us could finish our food. The service is really good and they suggest The best stuff. I really enjoyed this place. Everyone who's passing through Indio should definitely eat here! Don't go to the "II" restaurant, go further to the better one!
Quite possibly the best Mexican food I have ever had!! Their stuffed peppers with shrimp are a must have! I would have never thought adding soy sauce and mayonnaise to them could make them better!!! Service was top notch as well!!
Everything is outstanding there - fresh, not greasy, homemade like at mama's house! My favorites are the pork ribs, salsa verde and nopales. The (shrimp)camarones are very tasty in the ranchero sauce. (Camarones rancheros). My daughter loves their fish or shrimp ceviche. All their margaritas are a treat! Try the Paloma drink, too. High five, Ramiro!
Service? The best - attentive, alert, and courteous.
Gracias, Jorge and Laura Sandez
Wonderful find thanks to the recommendation from my railroad engineer brother. Great food, friendly service made for a nice dinner stop on the way home from Arizona.
One of the best meals I've had in a long time! El Mexicali Cafe in Indio. I had the famous Shrimp Stuffed Peppers TO DIE FOR! My Husband had Colorado Chili ( I think that's the name). Super nice folks own and manage the restaurant. I will go back again and again! #elmexicalicafe #sogood #todiefor #indio #coachellavalley #coachellavalleyartists #coachellavalleyphotographer #palmsprings #illbeback #supermargarita #shrimpstuffedpeppers #thebest el_mexicali_cafe
The best Mexican Food in the Valley-- Ive been eating here since I was a kid... peppers tacos š® and cold beers!!!!
This place is so good. I just wish the place was bigger, it was crowded but besides that, the food was yummy.
My wife and I have been coming here for several years and we have never been disappointed.
Delicious food. Friendly staff. Feels like family.
I've been in town for 3 days now and have been here twice. Both the Pork Verde and the Fajitas were some of the best Mexican food I've ever had.
Always consistently outstanding and authentic. Again and again, each time we visit the food is outstanding and the staff treats us like family. It's always a treat to us. The shrimp salad in particular is one of the top two i've ever tasted in my life. El Mexicali is a special place and unique dining experience that is absolutely authentic.
Our law enforcement motorcycle club stopped here for a meal while traveling to a charity fundraising event, & I was very impressed. The building was nondescript, with outdoor seating & an overhead shelter, but the menu was vast & and all-encompassing & they even have catering. Myself & all our group were pleased & I will return. My only issue is that it's about 1 1/2 to 2 hour drive from my home.
Really good food. Serves chips and salsa. We had one of their most famous appetizers called āyellow peppersā stuffed with shrimp. It was delicious, and had a kick to it spice wise. Service was just as good.
Combinacion Fajitas are the best! Very fulfilling. Its a small inside but lots of room outside if you don't mind the sound of the train if it passes by. The customer service was amazing everyone is so friendly. Definitely going back so delicious š
Highly recommend this place. Drivers traveling on the I-10 it is not far to exit freeway for a good plate of home made food.
Food is grate the place is small on the inside but has outside sitting as well
Great food nice Atmosphere wonderful location, staff is friendly and Sufficient and a great place to get a cool Tower of beer! The only place to have this cool Invention.
Must try if you are passing by! Had a shrimp stuffed pepper and delicious pork with their special green sauce. Was in and out within 40 mins- great service, which I truly appreciate. Thank you!!
Salsa was to die for :)
This is a great little restaurant. The food is authentic and so good it doesnāt need to present to be fancy. You will find this place is always busy with the locals. The original chiliās gueritos.
This place has the best chorizo and papas hands down. This is the only thing I order now. I had the chilaquiles but I was not impressed. It's small inside so be careful if you take a big group. The restrooms are ouside.
Stopped off on our way from the Salton Sea to Palm Springs. So glad we did!
The shrimp stuffed jalapeƱos, are a must!! Even our party member thatās not a huge fan of spicy foods had not trouble eating ( so donāt be nervous if you think it might be too hot )!
The sauce on the fish tacos, incredible!
Plenty of parking and outside seating for dining. The staff is more than happy to help you figure out their favorites!
Highly recommend!
Very friendly staff! Food was awesome! We had the Chili Rellenos and the chicken, beef and shrimp fajitas.
The food was delicious and the salsa tasted great. The best I've ever had so far. It was spicy and fruity. Yum. This is a local restaurant in the neighborhood a well kept secret. It's small but can get very crowded quickly.
Exelente food, good service. Just a little too loud for my environment taste.
The food was delicious; it definitely tasted like real Mexican food. I was hesitant at first but I'm glad my friend took us there. I had a Huevos rancheros plate and was very happy with it. The service was amazing as well; it felt like home.
