Much like chipotle. I got the carne asada and the steak was perfectly cooked. Rice to steak ratio was not proportional.
Tim O. OAugust 2, 2016
In addition to margaritas and food, they also have a pretty good selection of beer on tap.
Ms.MFebruary 4, 2017
The elote is delicious and can't go.wrong with the pork shoulder taco!!
Melissa HelalJanuary 12, 2013
You can't go wrong if you go with anything that has Carne Asada. This place knows how to marinate some meat!
Mike POctober 13, 2015
LOL at their "burritos". $10 for rice and black beans dryly wrapped in a so-so tortilla with a sprinkle of "Baja Fish". Cool.
Julie TangApril 22, 2011
Get the exclusive Sixpoint custom Brown Ale on tap! Nurse it at the bar where you'll be waiting at least 1/2 hr for a table - or give up + just eat at the bar
Danny DroNovember 1, 2014
Two words. Crack Sauce. And make sure you get the elote, off the cob and some guac.
Kimmie OhhJuly 29, 2020
Get the carne fries, carne asada burrito & the almighty crack sauce!
Erika GrijalvaOctober 15, 2014
The quesadilla with steak is a must. Truly like the northern Mexico quesadillas.

Great fish tacos, carne asada, and nachos. Douse everything in crack sauce. So. Good.
Kathryn DMay 27, 2016
Delicioso! Nachos to start, then their pressed quesadillas. Many options for vegetarians.

Great lunch special. However - anyone else notice tacos are a little less delicious lately?

Crack sauce until I die! BUT they need to sought out those "spicy margaritas". Not spicy in the slightest!
Chelsea V.October 13, 2012
They ARE open for lunch. Also, they have the real Coca-Cola made with pure cane sugar from Mexico! In love.
KarolinaMarch 10, 2023
Delicious food, great spicy passionfruit margaritas and fab atmosphere.
Anna OhareJuly 2, 2014
If you want take out they have a little window in the actual restaurant. Quick, friendly service :)
Sean FlemingOctober 1, 2014
Ultra authentic Mexican food. Large portions. Low price. And a very nice staff round it all out.
Andrew YungMarch 4, 2015
One of the best guacs in town. The crack sauce with the quesadillas delivers on crackness. 📬

Call ahead if you're in a rush and *always* get extra jalapeños cause they are delish
Cizenbayan Elif TanverdiApril 1, 2016
Margarita and burrito is to die for 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Chris GellesDecember 3, 2013
Syndicato and 'Nights and Weekends' are within a block and a half from here. Try them. They're both worlds better.
SALJune 17, 2017
A classic neighborhood staple that never gets old. Best breakfast burrito in Brooklyn.
Liz WonSeptember 29, 2015
There's a reverse happy hour. 2-for-1. You can use your token at a later time too
Matt DonatelliJanuary 14, 2016
Great fish tacos! Treat yo' self and make sure to get them fried, not grilled!!!
Tara TaraOctober 31, 2015
Tequila selection? B-O-R-I-N-G. I think any airport Chili's has a better selection. Woof!
John FonteinFebruary 25, 2017
Delicious Mexican in Greenpoint! The tacos are incredible
AditiJanuary 24, 2019
Spicy mint marg is awesome!
AerieMarch 12, 2012
Is it a food cart or a restaurant?? It depends on the borough you frequent, but no matter what it is in a sea of Mexican food, Calexico is the spicy flavored beacon of light.
Saif DiaNovember 15, 2015
Baja fish. Get them as your fixing for tacos or a wet burrito

Calexico’s ‘crack’ sauce is what makes this place so good! Read more

Excellent quesadillas! Try cheese and mushroom options :)
Autumn RayneMarch 14, 2015
Pretty good tacos reasonably priced. Atmosphere is cool nice tequila choices.
HARADAWINSMarch 18, 2012
Great spot. Has a dope takeout booth too. If you find the roving cart it's solid gringo-mex food.
Yasmina BackströmJanuary 13, 2016

Baja fish burrito, sub in brown rice and add guac. DO IT.

The chicken burrito with green Cholula sauce creates an out-of-body experience.
Ruth TupeJanuary 13, 2017
This place is open late! The nachos are really good!!
Patrick JasinskiAugust 31, 2014
If you'd like to eat something really good, then try the chipotle pork burrito.
Sean LudwigApril 7, 2015
Steak and pork burritos w/ "crack sauce" are to die for.

Crack sauce. Margarita. Quesadilla. It's all majestic. Xoxo a Californian that knows.
Paola GuerreroSeptember 1, 2017
Their quesadilla is the perfect size.

The frozen margaritas are the best we've tasted. And my boyfriend is, like, totally into it.

Oh former denizen of the sea, you are fried now and lay in tortilla with mango and crack sauce and are thus delicious.

Get "crack sauce" on whatever you order. Finish it off with a jalapeño margarita.
RamiroOctober 28, 2012
Hit the spot, chips and guacamole were good, didn't care for red salsa, got steak, chicken, ground beef tacos, service was on pt
