The food was good. They have good breakfast here. The owner was very nice. A very casual ambience can be a little loud with the train in the traffic noise.

We had El Mexicali II prepare food for a group of 40+ adults and children last Saturday. Food was ready for pickup when we arrived and the food was excellent! El Mexicali II catered two years ago for the same group and we had the same experience!

Great Authentic Mexican Food at decent prices with service you will be happy with. Very attentive and fresh large portions of traditional flavorful food you would expect. Definitely a must try, and I will be returning when I come back to visit the area....

We went to have lunch. We had an extremely great meal. The manager shared with us her vision and her food process. This is a great place togo. We will go back again.

Good salsa served with chips got the breakfast off to a good start. We were in the mood for chilaquiles, so we came here because that, and beans and rice, are reliably authentic. Quick, friendly bilingual service. Tidy dining room and patio. If you just have a strong hankering for a margarita, they have a very cute, well stocked bar. Food is made to order, so it takes a while sometimes. This is a popular breakfast spot for locals of all ages and people who love authentic northern Mexican food. The plate came out piping hot, and the chilaquiles are delish!

Absolutely fantastic! Love this place. Been there twice. Had the chicken mole enchiladas the first time they were great. Today I had the number three combination off the charts. Chicken taco, beef, enchilada, and a chili releno with rice and beans. Cleaned the plate. I will definitely be back. It will be my go to Mexican joint. It's a bit expensive, but what the hell isn't in California? Definitely recommend this place. Service was fantastic too. People are always nice in this place.

Great food and great service! We loved it! We especially fell for their appetizers! Modest digs but clean and comfortable. The patio was a bit too noisy being on Indio Blvd but cute as can be. We WILL be back next time we are in Indio.

Good, honest Mexican food. Everything was good. The shrimp stuffed yellow peppers appetizer was delicious! Foolishly we only ordered two peppers thinking six would be too many for the two of us. We should have had six! Prices were fair. Service was terrific. Outside seating available. Our Cadillac margaritas were refreshing, delicious and appropriately boozy. A good old fashioned dinner by the railroad tracks!

I had Huevos Rancheros Breakfast here @ El Mexicali Cafe. This restaurant was highly recommended on Yelp for the Coachella/Indio area and since I was in the area I thought I'd give it a try. Very surprised !! It was SO SO good ! In fact, golfers from the surrounding communities also come here for the food... it's so good. I saw several people who live in Palm Desert also here at El Mexicali while I was there... very very cool. This restaurant is on my list of good mexican restaurants now.
