Mexicali Rosa's - Halifax

Maybe it was the time of day we went (mid-afternoon) but the service was slow. The food was okay. I felt like the portion for the "Mexican Flag" enchiladas was a little small. Two tiny enchiladas with a big bed of rice. My boyfriend had the burrito salad which came with a side of chips. More salad and less chips would've been better. I don't think I would recommend this place unless you've got low standards on Mexican food.

As a Mexican-America I'm always curious to try Mexican cuisine in different areas and we had already had amazing food the day before so we decided to try this place for lunch the next day. It is in the middle of town however its hidden up a flight of stairs and through some hallways. The staff was friendly and attentive. We had the fajitas with all the sides. Everything was good but nothing that wowed - just normal. The margaritas were not good at all - too sour and they tasted as if there was no liquor in it. Overall nothing terrible but not a place we would go out of our way to eat at.

My first time going to Mexi's & I had been looking forward to it for awhile !!! Their sangria is $12 a pitcher all day on Saturday ! Must say, the food is nothing close to gourmet, kind of cheap quality and overpriced... but hey... I wasn't there for the food... I was there for the sangria (the food was a plus) ! Sangria was strong, but still tasted absolutely delicious & for the price how could you go wrong ! Loved the atmosphere in the place as well ! Can't wait for the next time we go for cheap drink specials !!

Awesome fajitas and nachos amazing deep fried ice cream!! Wonderful friendly staff and very kind. Highly recommend this restaurant. First time there in years I'll be back????

Try the fajitas ( but trust me on this : the for one serving will feed two easily). The burrito bowl was also awesome, and surprisingly came with a large serving of fresh, still warm natcho chips. My travelling companion advises that the $5 margaritas are amazingly good. And the service exceeded expectations. This is a great place for value, and fresh tasty food. They also have a rooftop patio. Oh and warm natchos and house salsa are served when you order.
