Calexico Carne Asada

Mexican mavens "all abuzz" over these "rough-and-ready" street-cart spin-offs call out their "outstanding", "Cali-inspired" tacos, tortas and burritos; "fabulous prices" and "fast service" offset the "simple" "hole-in-the-wall" settings; P.S. "make sure to get the ‘crack' sauce on anything you order."

Calexico Carne Asada Restaurant Review

Named for a California border town, this Brooklyn Mexican eatery began life as a cart. From there, the owners expanded into a full-blown taqueria, much to the neighborhood’s delight. The décor of stucco and Christmas lights is fitting enough for the no-frills but better-than-average Mexican fare. Most of the offerings are fairly typical---large burritos and juicy meat-filled tacos, as well as a...

Raising the bar for NYC Mexican. SoCal brothers behind the Calexico carts finally open a spot sans wheels. Purposefully mismatched space centers on bright red stucco wall sprinkled with crosses and folk art. Taqueria serves up the original street fare plus shrimp and grits, salads, daily specials. The real draw is the same as always: carne asada—marinated skirt steak, spiced and...

Very tasty Mexican food. The quesadillas are pretty amazing. More like grilled burritos with lots of cheese. The crack sauce is crack and the micheladas are nice and refreshing. Unfortunately the delivery guy is so crazy looking I often loose my appetite.

Stopped for a quick bite. Small shop with interesting old world hacienda decor. We chose a vegetarian choice - black bean burrito and a meat choice - carne asada. Both tasted delicious. The size was huge and we both only ate half, saving the rest for later. Though I live far from Brooklyn, would visit here again.
