Our Story

A neighborhood original with a California twist.

Mexicali Cocina & Cantina was created in 1995 after working and dining in some of the country's best restaurants. Everything is made in house with fresh natural ingredients and flavorful spices.

The result is light, lively Mexican and Californian cooking, a deep selection of 100% Blue Agave tequila and the kind of relaxed room that makes every guest feel at home.
