Mexicali Rosa's - Fredericton

We really enjoy this restaurant for their delicious fajitas and margaritas, as well as the charming lady who was the manager before and is now back in that role. We even drove all the way from PEI to come here.

This restaurant is not very good. My friend liked the Margarita she ordered, but that was the only good thing about it.

The restaurant has subpar food and dreadful service, among other issues. Additionally, their attempts at preparing Mexican cuisine are disappointing.

Staff were fabulous, very good atmosphere, food was tasty as well as authentic. Indoor or outdoor dining

We stopped in for nachos and a beer on the patio on the way home from work. Succinctly, this is Tex-Mex done badly. This place is about as "authentically Mexican" as I am (which is to say, not at all). The real sad part is that the restaurant that used to be in this building *was* authentic Mexican, and it was amazing.I've been here several times (few of my own volition) and not matter what you have, it tastes like it just came out of a box. Everything they make tastes processed. Really, the only consistently good thing on the menu is the free chips.We had the chipotle chicken nachos. The menu says this consists of corn chips, seasoned chicken, bacon, monterey jack cheese, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes & honey chipotle. Some of this is accurate. The chicken is not seasoned, there is no "honey chipotle", and there is some sort of mysterious red sauce drizzled over the top. It can't be salsa, because it looks exactly like ketchup. The other weird thing is that all the toppings are finely diced.The server said it was the best thing on the menu, which is a problem if true. They have a long way to go to catch up to the best nachos in town, which are the BBQ chicken nachos at the Snooty Fox. Finally, although they have the best patio in town, they have the worst beer selection. In a city known for it's local brews, the most exotic thing you can get on tap is a Rolling Rock.Staff are pleasant. We had to ask for water and cutlery.
