Maybe you noticed, maybe you didn't ... Mexicali Burrito caters! And for serious, they take the nut for Mexican food catering (as compared with Picante catering... which technically wasn't catered, because I couldn't justify paying their delivery fee, so I picked up and was utterly dismayed) in Cambridge for their superb pricing, appetite-filling, responsiveness, accommodating-ness, and kindness.
The baseline cost for the burrito platter was $70 for 10 orders, including 10 full sized burritos with a filling choice, cheese, rice, and beans; and chips, salsas, and paper products; more than enough food to satisfy 10 hungry co-workers. Oh, but did I have a convenient 10 co-workers to satisfy? No, I had 15. And Mexicali ACCOMMODATED that number with the same unit pricing (i.e. $7 per person). Add tax and 10% delivery fee, and you're still much less than $10 per person.
The burrito was girthy and filled with a higher rice/bean to filling ratio than what you can expect from the store, but it was still very satisfying and quite manageable for consumption. With the addition of 2 large guac-sides and those sauces (+some self-purchased sour cream), the overall tastiness improved.
I also have to give a hand to Eric, who coordinated the order, responded to all 4 of my ridiculous email inquiries, and even delivered the meal (on time, no doubt). He confides that they respond best to phone calls, but I'm a busy lady and deal much better with email; and certainly know a thing or two about not receiving email responses in the immediate; so really really, this was no concern.
Will I order catering again from Mexicali? Heck yah.Listed in: Fast Food - When Good Food…

Yes, I like Anna's too, since they have more interesting fillings. But this place is great and the staff is friendly and efficient. I like the Watsonville burrito because it includes all the toppings. (I hate saying "I want this, that, and the other thing" only to find that suddenly I'm being charged an extra $5. And for WHAT!)
I'll come back and add a star if they start serving lengua burritos like Anna's :) -

I'm going to be totally up front with this review. I love Anna's. I have always loved Anna's and I always will love Anna's. I just wanted to put it out there before staring my review.
Overall - not bad, but not good either. Bland would be the best way for me to describe these burritos. I love salsa and didn't even see the salsa bar when I walked in. That could have been my bad since I went at noon but still. I had the mexicali burrito with guac and cheese. Here are a few of my gripes:
#1 Don't charge me for cheese on a burrito. Just put it on there.
#2 I'm happy to pay for guac but this was a little generic, maybe a little lime or salt or cilantro?
#3 Chicken - it was bland. All I tasted was the beans.
I see a lot of reviews about this place - honestly, a burrito wrapper isn't healthy no matter how you slice it. Fresh ingredients don't always equate to healthier either. I do agree, however, that these ingredients did seem fresher than elsewhere. I also liked that the staff was pleasant. That's always a plus. -

It's alright, nothing special. I just had a platter with a cheese enchilada and a chile relleno, which also came with chips, guac, rice, beans, and pico de gallo ($9). But I didn't really eat the chile relleno (I'm really upset about this as I've been craving it for some reason or another since I woke up today). It's one thing to use an egg batter for frying something - but it's a whole different story to literally serve me an omelette with a pepper and some cheese inside and call it a chile relleno. If I wanted an omelette, I would've just gone to Friendly Toast.
Everything else in my meal was decent but nothing really to write home about. -

I frequent this place and am shocked by the reviews! So many mentions of Anna's that I wonder if some of the reviews are paid protests...
I stop in here a few times a week and while it's not El Pelon, these guys are making good quality food. I don't worry that I'm eating institutional grade food here. They actually seem to care about ingredients. And as others noted they are fast and friendly.
Maybe I haven't tried some of the other options that are bumming people out, but everything that I've had has been worth the walk, wait, and cash.
And I'm tired of all the people from California laying claim to expertise in mexican food. Give it a rest already!
And props for having area appropriate magazines such as science and nature! -

Alright...so I was tempted into coming back here after the manager reached out to me after my last review.
While I still stand by that everything is expensive, I've recently gotten hooked on their taco salads, which are one topping, beans, guac, salsa and sour cream, and they're really good and still a fair deal at $7.
So...I'm not blown away, but am certainly very satisfied with a taco salad (I can even pretend it's healthy).1 Previous Review: Show all »

I go here at least once a week since it's close to work -- consequently I have tried many different combinations of ingredients. I can't speak to it's similarity to "California style" Mexican fare as I am from MA and frankly I don't care if it doesn't taste like the hole-in-the-wall joint you used to go to in Rio del Mar, so I'll leave that to the uppity West-Coasters.
My winner has to be a wheat Watsonville (cheaper to get the Watsonville if you want more than 3+ toppings rather than adding on the extra charge for the same on a Mexicali, plus you get another filling!) w/ Chile Colorado Pork, refried beans, corn (if available, if not then get spicy green beans or double the pork!), guac, pico, and cheese. I have no idea how they keep the guac so creamy and delicious without adding citrus acid, but it works, and the guac is always perfectly fresh tasting. The total for that comes to $7.91, if I'm not mistaken, and that's definitely within the $7-9 average range I've found lunch meals to cost in the area so the price point is spot-on.
The Chile Colorado has the most flavor for the non-poultry meats. I tried the Barbacoa once and it was a bit bland and mushy. Steak was OK but maybe a bit dry and harder to eat... I usually don't order steak burritos for that reason. No complaints about either chicken option -- both are quite good. Quesadilla was pretty standard but I much prefer Anna's Taqueria style in that department.
Your best bet is to go while they have multiple people working the counter (i.e. lunch rush) to ensure your burrito is rolled correctly. Admittedly, some of the staff has trouble with that step, but not if you get one of the seasoned pros working the end of the line. They keep all the areas quite clean so no worries for germophobes. They rotate out the fillings/toppings as needed so everything is fresh. Don't be too intimidated by the line, it moves fairly quickly and there are usually free seats to eat in if you want. Portions leave nothing to be desired - you will NOT need a side if you get a Watsonville or larger. I did try the Big Sur once while hungover after not eating for about 24 hours and it was the size of my head -- it certainly delivered as "the biggest burrito in Boston".
They also have Jarritos and a few other drink selections including Horchata for those of you who are into that. I don't think I've seen that sold anywhere else that I know of.
Given the somewhat limited lunch selection for the area (at least in terms of good/fast Mexican food) and the welcoming staff I have to give it 4 stars for being a delicious beacon of burritoness in Tech Sq. -

This is by no means authentic "California-style burritos".
Growing up in California, I like to think that I have a good idea about what a burrito should taste like, and this is not it. Just naming your menu items after locations in California doesn't do it.
Thankfully I had a $5 for $10 coupon or else I would have been a little more perturbed. I won't be going back. -

I was in the MIT area, and saw this come up on my phone as a burrito place nearby so I went to check it out.
It's a fairly new location, the recipes come from East Los Angeles (hence, the Mexi-Cali name), but this is the first restaurant open. Its a fairly standard looking burrito joint, a place to order, and then several small tables and a salsa bar in the corner (think Baja Fresh if you've been there). The ordering was interesting, there were several interesting burrito options. They have a bunch of vegetable fillings that rotate every day (they had lentils, corn, and squash when I was there), and I ordered a vegetarian burrito with corn, guacamole, and black beans. They have a wheat tortilla for an extra 25 cents.
My burrito was pretty good. Not amazing, but not bad. The guacamole was ok, the beans were standard beans, and the lettuce and rice were also pretty standard. I actually really liked the corn vegetable filling. And I really liked the wheat tortilla.
So, not an amazing place, but service was good, and the burrito was pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here again, but if I found myself in the area, I would go to check out the other vegetable fillings. -
Review from Jake M.

So witheringly bland and mediocre as to be almost forgettable, but then made offensively so by the outrageous price point. For eight bucks, I want my burrito to either a) make me forget about dinner, if I got it for lunch; b) feed me for two days and make me skip breakfast on the third; c) give me a handjob. MexiCali fails on all three fronts.
The burrito is poorly put together, the ingredients stingily added and unevenly distributed, so you have dense pockets of meat here, rice there, sour cream the next town over, never to meet. On the other hand, the paucity of core burrito components, esp. meat, means I'm not in danger of slipping into a food coma post meal. Of course, I also forget that I've eaten five minutes later, and find myself either in need of another 8 dollar burrito - so perhaps they're on to something. -

This isn't your typical Mexican burrito shop; this is a California-style burrito which is very different than the regular one. First off, it is less greasy and thus healthier, second of all the ingredients in it and prepared differently and you will immediately feel a difference once you bite in it. I can't describe it, it's just different.
I give them a few stars just for that. They managed to bring me right back to Los Angeles in just one bite. Their achiote chicken is very nice, well marinated with a slight tangy/citrucy flavor. Very pleasant.
The place is air conditioned and has good street parking but does get busy during the regular work days lunch hour peeks. The staff is friendly and they even have an alternative to the regular sour cream: yogurt! How cool is that!
The prices aren't bad either.
Oh and two more things I'd like to add. Their salsa bar isn't big but it's very well designed and very good. Secondly, they have this vegetarian filling alternative featuring squash, and a bunch of other unexpected vegetables. Kinda cool too! -

What they made me tasted fresh but the flavors weren't up to par with nearby places. There was a blandness to the food which is never good with mexican or tex-mex. The steak was fairly decent however, it had that awesome flame grilled taste. The spicy chicken did not pack as much pow as I would have liked. I also thought, for what it was, this place was a little too expensive. Charging extra for cheese?! on an enchilada!? That is absurd! The green chili sauce over the enchiladas was not bad, I've tasted worst attempts. I just think that this place needs to either lower their prices or step up their game, it's not that much longer of a walk to anna's, where the food is half the price and twice as good. -

This is like what fake Ameri-Mex would taste like if it were prepared by people with no taste buds. Everything looked nice and seemed fresh, but had no flavor. While eating my weirdly-folded quesadilla with its poorly-distributed filling and spartan dose of cheese, I meditated on the many ways flavor could be added to my food. Salt came to mind. Vinegar or lime juice, maybe? Onion (other than the chunks in the pico, which despite its overdose of cilantro was the only flavorful thing on my plate)? Even some heat? These are basic flavoring tactics that any idiot with access to a pantry could use competently.
I get bitter when I end up paying people to make me something that I could have fixed better if they'd let me go behind the line and make it myself. -

Not half bad, considering I am no longer in California and it is downstairs from my office.
The burrito was poorly rolled, but was fairly tasty. I got the Wadsworth which is two meats and all toppings (cheese, sour c, guac, lettuce, pico de gallo) The chille colorado and asada mix tasted sort of "do-it-yourself" burrito seasoning-ish, but not bad. Salsa bar was actually really good and fresh, I like the extra hot chipotle quite well. Tapatio at tables. Decent size, I was full for 7 bucks.
It is certainly not the Mission Burrito joints in SF that it claims to mirror, but it's a fix. Ill be back at least a couple of times a month.
2 hours later and no tummy ache, no Montezumas revenge, nada mal en mi estomacho. !Que suerte! -

The MexiCali burrito (1 filling, 2 topping, rice, and beans for $6.52) is pretty solid, filling, and tasty lunch. As a vegetarian, I was thrilled to see all the rotating veggie options: spicy mushrooms, sauteed squash, or spicy tofu. The ingredients--including those at the salsa bar (the chipotle was fantastic)--are all very fresh and well prepared; not at all greasy or heavy. If you're in the area, I definitely recommend giving MexiCali a try. It won't blow you away, but it will do the trick. And the staff is incredibly nice and helpful.
The one thing that sort of turned me off a little is what MexiCali considers a "topping." I think it's a little odd (read: cheap) to charge extra for shredded lettuce and pico de gallo. Not a big deal, but for the slightly high price, I was hoping for just a little more je ne sais quoi.
And by "je ne sais quoi," I guess I mean fresh avocado. -

They make a good effort, but it's just not quite amazing. The meat is ok but not great. People are friendly though and they're pretty quick. It's great to have a burrito place closer to the office than Anna's or Boca Grande though.
If I close my eyes and squeeze hard enough, I can pretend it's Chipotle. :( -

I love burritos, and while Mexicali tries hard, it is probably the worst burrito place in Cambridge/Boston. Yes the store is clean, the staff is very nice, and the ingredients seem fresh, but the food is horrible.
All of the fillings are dry, the burritos are always stale, and ingredients are off. The food just taste bad. The salsa bar is really more of a sauce bar.
Also, as a place that makes it money off the staff, the prices are ridiculously high. $7 for a regular burrito? If you have a chance walk to Anna's at MIT center. -

I suppose it's quite fitting that this place is at MIT - the food tastes like a scientist created it. I was very hungry and ate it, so the fact that it was food and edible was cool. However, it really did not make me say, "wow, I should come back and eat here again". As some other reviewers were, I was drawn to this place with a groupon. This is the only place that has charged me tax, separate from the groupon. My order came to only $9.27 and the guy asked for 61 cents for the tax. That was strange. I gave it but thought that was strange.
Ok, so I had a burrito with the beef and the steak. That sounds redundant but it wasn't. The beef is pulled bits of meat and the steak is in chunks. The flavor was kinda bland so I put some of the green stuff from the salsa bar on it. That made it a little better. I'm really not a Mexican food gourmand so I'm not sure what good Mexican food is. However, I can say that El Pelon's food has more flavor. I kinda like flavor. -

I eat here one or twice a week. The ingredients are fresh and the price is about right. It really reminds me pleasantly of a LA taquería, and it certainly wouldn't be out of place there. There are lots of good vegetarian/vegan options.
There are very limited lunchtime food options around MIT (please don't mention the food trucks) this is a pleasant addition to the area. -

Gave them another shot today. The line was less frantic and the guy behind the counter was super helpful. I found out that all of the beans and the rice are vegetarian. And they only use Canola oil. Excellent. I still felt a little funky after eating here but I'll put that off to my allergies to things with limes...still be wary if you're a peanut phobe I guess, but all accounts indicate there's nothing to worry about.
I got a massive burrito with fried potatoes and refried beans b/c well, it's just one of those fat kid kinda days (I think it nicely complemented the dark chocolate candy bar I housed for breakfast).
Still, $7 for a burrito? Eesh. I can make a $3 burrito dinner with my farm share and a package of Mission...1 Previous Review: Show all »

Having worked in the MIT area for a few years now, I'm as aware as everyone else how meager the lunch options can be. Any place that opens is guranteed an initial surge of traffic.
Unfortunately my visit to Mexicali will be a one time thing. The menu was unnecessarily complicated, involving choosing a burrito size and each individual ingredient. The fillings were mediocre at best, and the staff seemed completely incompetent. Made me long for the cool professionals of Boca and Annas.
The worst part was the fold. My burrito ended up looking like a softball. Luckily I was eating it back in the office, because it immediately fell apart over my plate and required a fork to finish.
Save your time and stick to the trucks, Boca or Annas. -

This is a small fast food burrito place off of Tech Square at MIT. I saw people going in there, so I thought, it must be pretty good to compete with Anna's Tacqueria, which is located inside the Student Center and much cheaper. Not so much.
My friend had the steak burrito in a whole wheat tortilla, and I got the spicy chicken burrito. There's nothing wrong with the food, it just doesn't stand out in any meaningful way. It tastes fresh and homemade, but for $6-8 burritos, I was kinda hoping for something really good. I guess it's pretty good for the more health-conscious among us. MexiCali charges according to how many toppings you want, though sour cream and guacamole are the same price as everything else, unlike Anna's.
They also have fruit juices and Mexican horchata, though I didn't get to try that today. They have a small salsa and jalepeno bar, so you can spice up your food.
It's a clean decor with a mix of tiny tables and those high tables and stools, and doesn't get too loud, even during lunch hour. But that could be a problem for this place with decent Mexican food that's kind of overpriced. I don't know how they can compete with Chipotle, let alone Anna's. -

Here, here for another lunch spot in Kendall Square! I just wish it was better than above average.
The food is good, but it's no Anna's, no Boca Grande, no Jose's, no Picante. They do burritos "California Style" and offer some unique toppings (I like that you can get yogurt instead of sour cream). That, and the salsa bar is great...the tomatillo salsa has the perfect tang to it and they offer some great options (smoked tomato, carrots and cilantro, etc).
The issue I had was the actual burrito - my veggie burrito was lukewarm in places, cold in others, and the cheese wasn't melted. Maybe the joint is working out some opening kinks, and maybe I should have gotten a meal with some warm protein in it. Either way, it's nice to see a new place for us working stiffs, and I'm sure I'll give it another shot for some lunchtime fare. -

Hungrily, I ate my Monterey burrito in about two minutes.
From what I remember, the ingredients tasted fresh, the pico de gallo was tangy in the only way fresh tomatoes can be, my achiote chicken was deliciously citrusy, the tortilla was right off the griddle and the guac tied it all together. Not entirely authentic, but pretty good. Cheers on the mango bebidas, too!

I gave this place a try on the premise that a) it was near work and b) offered burritos.
The staff is very friendly and polite, everything looked clean. So far, so good.
The burrito was OK, but mine had the same structural integrity issues that some other reviewers noted. Basically, halfway through, the burrito fell apart into a loose mush and I forfeited most of the remainder. Also, I thought the tortilla itself was a little dry (stale?).
Next time, I'm going to Boca Grande instead -- at Boca, I get all the same toppings as Mexicali, PLUS guacamole, and a better burrito for just a little less $ . I'll probably only come back here if I'm short on time (and, if I bring a fork) -

Terrible. No tomatoes/Guac without cilantro. They make softballs not burritos. I work at Forrester which is right next door, but I recommend walking about 15 minutes by MIT to Anna's. Mexicali should research how to make a burrito and the concept of adjusting to customers to get return business.

I love this place. While I love me an Anna's burrito every once in awhile, I prefer this place because the ingredients seem higher quality, fresher, and there's more variety (plantains! citrus chicken! yummm). So, I'm willing to pay a bit more for it.
Also, I'm a huge fan of their salsa bar. The salsa verde is my favorite! -

As a Californian stuck in Cambridge for years the terrible attempts at Mexican food have been the beign of my existence.
MexiCali gets 5 stars because they use shredded cheese. I have no idea why any self-respecting eatery would plop down a slice of cheese on a tortilla and think it's okay. Must be a New England thing.
They also make their own chips, their guacamole is delicious, their beans are never watery, and neither is their pico de gallo, so your burrito wont fall apart, and after eating here I don't feel like I've increased my chances of heart disease, unlike some other greasy burrito places. They have yogurt as an alternative to sour cream, two types of chicken, chile relleno, and they serve their quesidillas with chips.
I say for a discerning burrito eater this place is a gem.
They also do deliver after 5pm through http://campusfood.com -

I'm pretty shocked at the lukewarm to bad reviews on here. I'm a big burrito fan, and I think this place is awesome. Great, fresh ingredients, savory and high quality meat that is seasoned in various, tasty ways.
Blows away a place like Boca Grande, which routinely burns its chicken, has gristle at times, etc.
Give it a try - again, i don't understand how people don't like it. I think it practically beat Anna's. -

Complicated menu (read overpriced if you want all the toppings) and, just like most of the reviewers mentioned, massive structural issues with the rollup of this burrito. Mine not only collapsed under its own sogginess but it was rolled sideways so it was all guac and salsa on one end and all chicken on the other...
The taste is not bad and the yogurt replacement of sour cream is a good new-age/California addition, however Anna's at MIT still worth the 5 minute extra walk...
Oh, and they don't take AMEX either :-| -

Coming from California, where you can't throw a rock without hitting a taqueria, I am supremely disappointed by the burrito options in Boston. Typically, the most edible burrito around is at Chipotle's, and those are not "real" burritos.
Nearby to my office is a Mexicali. If I'm in the burrito, they're the nearest place. Don't get me wrong, their burritos are edible. They won't make you sick or anything.
However, the tortilla is doughy, you don't get much on a regular burrito, and all toppings cost a buck. You want hot sauce and pico de gallo? Well, that's an extra two bucks. Want chips? Another dollar. Salsa? Make sure you get a personal order (another dollar), as the default order is for more than one person, and costs more than $2.
I guess if you want a burrito that's a step up from Taco Bell, go to Mexicali. But just know that it's not an authentic burrito by any means, and if you don't pay attention to what you order, you could end up paying more than you would like. -

I love all the vegetable-based fillings they have here. The roasted corn and spicy green bean are my favorites. The achiote chicken is really good too (especially when combined with the roasted corn). My only complaints are the texture of the tortilla (they could benefit from a tortilla steamer like the one at anna's), and the fact that their burritos are a little pricier than I like to spend on lunch.
The people who work here are always very friendly and efficient. Long lines move quickly.
