If you find yourself in Indio and are craving authentic Mexican cuisine, be sure to check out El Mexicali Café. Conveniently located near the I-10 freeway, this restaurant offers outstanding service and delicious food. We dined in for lunch, and the price per person was between $10 and $20.

We visited on our way back from Arizona after discovering them on Instagram and being impressed by their food and drinks. I rate them 5 stars for their strong cocktails, tasty food, outstanding service, and welcoming ambiance. They had a decent crowd for a Monday night, which is always a good indication. I will definitely be back! View menu

I dined at this restaurant in October 2017, and it was just as outstanding in 2022. I absolutely love their shrimp with paprika, as well as all their other dishes. The service is exceptional, too. I’d give it a perfect 10, so they definitely deserve the accolades. If you’re just passing through town, it’s a fantastic pit stop—you won’t regret it!

The customer service here is outstanding, and the staff are incredibly friendly. I was welcomed as soon as I walked in and seated right away. Our server provided excellent recommendations, and he certainly didn't disappoint. The chiles gueritos were fantastic. We tried the especial del Mexicali, and the meat was perfectly seasoned and packed with flavor. The Campechana was expertly prepared, with fresh and well-cooked shrimp and octopus. Make sure to order a Mexicali Chavela—you won't regret it. I’m definitely bringing the whole family on my next visit!

"My husband and I had 5:30 reservations for Christmas dinner. We were seated promptly. Server was a lovely young man. We ordered a cocktail right away and when he brought them, we ordered dinner. We waited snd waited and then waited sone more. No dinner. Server kept coming by and saying he was checking on it. Meanwhile, tables who came in much later than us were being served. Server came back and offered us complimentary soup while we waited for dinner. We declined, it had already been close to an hour. We never complained as our server seemed to be on top of it. After over an hour of waiting, We had decided to just leave. Just wanted our drink tab to pay and leave. Right then a woman came out with our dinner, placed them in front of us saying nothing and started to leave. I asked if she was the manager and she said yes. I asked about the wait as now the 6pm reservations that were seated next to us we’re done with their dinner! No apology. Just I’ll have the chef come out and you can talk to him. And then she commented that they would take care of dinner and walked away. Chef never came out (I never wanted him to). Husband ate his dinner. I boxed mine up. Just ruined our experience. They did buy our dinner, but did present us with a bill for our two cocktails. Any restaurant can have a bad night. But you need to have a manger with a compassionate personality and knows how to deliver an apology. This woman had neither. Very, very disappointed with our experience and lack of management apology and recovery,"
