Mexicali Blue - Mexican Restaurant & Happy Hour

My girlfriend and I went last night and had a great experience. We had the queso which was the perfect level of spicy, you didn’t feel the need to drink a gallon of water while eating it. We both then both did the “make your own burrito” it was such a great option for pickier eaters like us! We got to have exactly what we wanted. We sat at the bar and so we got to see the kitchen. We both work in food service and we were so IMPRESSED with how much love and attention is given to the cleanliness of the place. We loved the food and margaritas and the chef was amazing. He checked after we started eating our burritos to make sure we like it! The only negative at all was that it was talked a lot about how late it was getting. So we definitely didn’t exactly take our time. But we will definitely

Mexicali makes my favorite burrito — I’ve been getting the same one for years, the chili lime chicken. Their homemade hot sauces are the best, I love the pineapple and lime flavors. I miss the little New Paltz location (always looked forward to that pineapple hot sauce burrito after a hike) but glad the Wappingers location exists

We have been going to Mexicali Blue for years. It is one of our favorite places to go. I never tried the black bean soup until yesterday and am happy to say it was one of the best black bean soups I have ever tasted. My go to dish is the salmon tacos. The side of rice and beans are amazing. The salsa is authentic.... and the margaritas... worth every penny. I highly recommend Mexicali Blue.

Everything about this place is excellent. The staff treats you like family and the food is consistently great. Don’t let the location fool you (it’s in a strip mall near a McDonald’s), this is a genuinely solid place of you like quality food. Just found out they fry their tortilla chips in real beef tallow, and they know the name of the supplier! They also make their margaritas from scratch - no premixed stuff. Highly recommended

Friends said this was a good spot… Cute place but my food all came out cold (they were not busy at the time), the bartenders spent most of their time complaining about the money they made on their last shift instead of looking after their customers and their pomegranate margarita, while decently strong, did not taste like pomegranate and looked like they put red dye in it. Will not be going back to this spot.
