Truly one of the best burritos in NYC. Make sure you try the crack sauce, and if you like it spicy, ask ‘em nicely and they’ll give it an extra kick. Cash only and try to beat the 12pm line.
There comes a time in every man's life where he must admit that he no longer has a teenager's metabolism, and move past greasy rolled quesadillas onto more responsible yet equally delicious burritos.
Carne Asada Burrito. All day every day. If it is you first time, also order a side of crack sauce.
Dan SohaydaAugust 25, 2017Go early, bring cash, & expect to wait 10-15 minutes minimum. Burrito was smaller than what you get at Chipotle but it's much more sense and flavorful. Crack sauce adds nice kick even to chipotle pork
- That moment when you finish your cracksauce before quesadilla... Nooooooo!
Travis StathamJune 29, 2018Carnitip: each meat side is $3, get 4-5 and you’ll be all set. Also arrive just before noon. Intersection of Prince and Wooster.
- Get there before noon on a week day and you've just won the game I like to call "not waiting 40mins for lunch". Oh, and order the carne asada quesadilla.
Ask for the crack sauce either on the side or inside your order. I go for the chipotle pork burrito with crack sauce and it's delicious for lunch!
Brendan LewisSeptember 4, 2014Fun fact: When I'm rich and eccentric, I'm going to order my staff to prepare a tub of Crack Sauce I can bathe in
LucieferNovember 9, 2014One of the best burritos I've ever had and that's saying a lot: I'm from LA. Get a burrito with chicken and steak, add crack sauce. Be prepared to wait a while, it's totally worth it.
Staff PicksApril 14, 2016A Foursquare employee favorite in SoHo. This Mexican food cart has captured our hearts with mouth-watering bowls of delicious seasoned meat and their uniquely rolled quesadillas.
The quesadillas are great and the burritos are good, but the quesadillas take 5-10 minutes longer to make. If you can't wait, get a burrito. (If the line's long, it won't be quick either way.)
Francisco and his crew out here in all sorts of weather and always with a smile on his face... Make sure to tip! ✌️
Everything's awesome here, but I'm a huge fan of the Carne Asada burrito. You can also ask for it spicy, which they'll throw habanero sauce on it. The best.
Maire GriffinOctober 18, 2013I just licked the salsa container, at work, in front of horrified colleagues - it's THAT good. So are the tacos. This place is my new go-to lunch spot.
Chenny DApril 25, 2016Pulled pork burrito! So juicy and the spiciness of chipotle adds a very nice kick!:)
Charley ToddAugust 18, 2015The line can get insane but the food is great. The quesadillas take a bit longer than everything else but are delicious- Best food for your money in SoHo. They have great specials and are occasionally not there on days they should, so make sure to follow them on twitter. @CalexicoNYC
To avoid the lunch hour rush, try to get there a little before noon. If you do have to wait, make sure you get something with crack sauce to reward your patience.
Leo MedinaJanuary 15, 2016Some of the best mexican food around. If you want a healthier route you can get the beef or chicken bowl and replace the rice with veggies :)
Quesadilla is the move here, but you're gonna need a side to fill out your lunch.
Juston PayneFebruary 17, 20121) The carne asada gets a lot of Tips love, but my endorsement goes to carnitas. 2) Napkins are often not included. 3) Walk a block north and cross Houston for outdoor seating.
MariusMarch 23, 2017Nice little food truck. Food is really yummy! Try the crack sauce if you like it spicy! Burrito about 9 bucks, tacos 4.
If trying for a somewhat healthier alternative opt for the burrito bowl and add some crack sauce. Pollo verde is my go to for the bowl- The Tastes that Make the CityJanuary 28, 2015The crack sauce is the best chipotle sauce in NYC, making our list of "The Tastes That Make the City: NYC Edition."

Rolled chicken quesadilla comes with _amazing_ crack sauce for dipping. Add a $2 side of Mexican rice to fill you up.
Some of the best burritos. I get the carne asada with guacamole and chips on the side. Cash only.- Gennady BarskyFebruary 17, 2016The Chipotle pork taco was my absolutely favorite, the Carne Asada burrito is always a great choice.
If you're in a hurry, go somewhere else. But if you *really* need your Calexico fix, order the black bean burrito. You'll have to skip the meat, but it's the fastest thing on their menu to prepare.
The rolled quesadillas are great and not too filling. And don't worry, they come with crack sauce
Pretty much anything here is absolutely delicious but I'm partial to the black bean burrito. Get it with extra crack sauce!
Alp OzcelikJune 13, 2014LOVED their pollo asada quesadilla! Gotta come back for further research. (Their crack sauce is ALL the noms!)
CREATETHE GROUPNovember 22, 2011Steak burrito bowls with the crack sauce. Chicken Quesadillas. A bit of a wait during peak lunch hour but it's totally worth it. -Erica C- They open at 11:30. Come before noon and you won't have to wait. Add jalapeños.
AmateurConciergeNovember 21, 2014Better and cheaper than the restaurant. Feel free to discard the second tortilla on your taco
When you get a burrito, get the "crack" sauce for dipping. It's sooooo good and tasty!
Gringo ground beef tacos are addicting and of course the self explanatory chipotle "crack" sauce.
PercolateMarch 21, 2012Hipster burritos is what we used to call them. Whatever the name, they're definitely the best burrito in the neighborhood.
Heejung KimJuly 30, 2015Amazing tacos. Hot. Straight from the grill. So be careful. Dont burn your hand.
MariFebruary 13, 2012They roll their quesadillas which I think is a brilliant idea. Makes for easier eating. The chipotle sauce that comes with it is kinda awesome.
Any burrito: ask them to add Crack sauce and guacamole for a little extra punch.
For a slightly healthier calexico experience get the bowl without rice. Still really filling too.
Nina LoSchiavoMarch 31, 2012Calexico is proof that cheap food can taste amazing! Go chipotle pulled pork anything with a side of crack sauce!
Carne asada rolled quesadillas might be my favorite lunch in soho.
Carne Asada rolled quesadilla rulez. Go on a rainy day for shorter lines.
