Default Re: Juan's Mexicali...Recommendation

Went there for dinner this evening... I had BBQ Chicken Quesedilla and he had Cubano sandwich; we both had tortilla soup. Our food was tasty, prices are reasonable (both 'entrees' were $6 each). They have beer, wine, margaritas, and daqueries (sp) with 2 for 1 happy hour from 3-7.

Certainly better than Taco Bell, but, not quite as robust as On the Border or Chevys. They are still in their 'soft opening' phase with grand opening to come. The staff all appear to be teenagers, so, confusion abounds. But, they are cheerful and pleasant. This is not table service...you order at the counter, then they bring you your food. As JT said, more like a lunch diner than a full fledge restaurant.

For cheap, quick, convenient (to South siders) and tasty mexican food, it'll do.
