Reviews For Cafe Mexicali

Since moving to the south metro Denver area, I often find myself craving Cafe Mexicali's creamy chicken tortilla soup—it's absolutely delicious! Their breakfast burritos are also some of the best around, and the pork green chili breakfast burrito is truly unmatched. Highly recommend stopping by for a flavorful meal! I hope someday they open more locations south of the Boulder location.

Great experience, food was delicious, hot and served right after cooking it fresh for you to order! Clean, cute, and felt that my health was a priority for them! They make their tortillas fresh in house and they are delicious and huge!! The staff were all very friendly, hard working, and on point with their service! Overall the experience and food was incredible, definitely recommend this place!

Home made tortillas to die for. The creamy habanero sauce is sooo good. Highly recommend the breakfast burrito!!

This is my go-to burrito place. If you've never tried the white sauce, it's one of the more amazing options for any business like this. I've literally frozen it and taken it across the country to someone who moved away from NOCO!

Whoever is on the night crew for this location on 3/12/25 , deserves a round of applause/raises. I’ve worked in the food industry before, anybody that comes in before closing I’d be annoyed. They gladly took my order 10 minutes before closing, and made it perfectly. Customer service 100/10.

Stopped in unknowingly ten minutes before close and they were more than happy to serve. Food is super flavorful and great portions for the price. Will definitely be back.

Of the 3 Cafe Mexicalis in my general area, this one is the best for balance, portion sizes, and usually having fast-moving lines (if any). Staff are friendly, which is so nice to experience, and are good about any quirky requests we occasionally have. And the food is yum.

Got the barbacoa smothered burrito with green chili. They were busy, but service was fast. Plenty of food to match the price 13
