Taqueria Manolito - Mexicali BC Mexico


Maria Espinoza in Calexico, CA recommends:

Taqueria Manolito
Mexicali, Baja California
Mexico CP 21100





Who woulda thought the worst tacos to date would be from Mexico? Yuck. Talk about uncomfortable. Get me outta here.

  3. Jajaja Mr. Inspector, everybody in Mexicali knows that those taco stands are not good, better yet take a cab and tell the guy to take you to the plaza cachanilla, inside there is a food court that has tacos, tortas sopes, and other restaurants, please give it a try, I woul like to dethrone Nogales, as the best taco location Mr. Inspector, Thank you for your job Inspector but you need to venture a little further down to taste the best tacos en Chicali

  4. if you are ever in mexicali, you need to check out an establishment called Las Brasas. the place has been there for about ten years and its the best tacos i've ever had and i've been through at least 7 states in mexico. if you don't enjoy your taco, i'll reimberse you... not really, but i go there every time i'm there.

  11. DUDE!!! Acatlan! You gotta go back to Mexicali and eat there! I grew up visiting Mexicali no less than 4 times a year... never have I been in Mexicali without making a stop there. :)

  13. Heyy man you just choose the wrong "taqueria", the best taco shop in any border city won´t be close the border, I leave here in Mexicali and I can sayd that there are more than 5 places where you can eat the best tacos, next time look for El Nuevo Tecolote, @ calzada de las americas

  15. I agree, you went to the first taco joint you saw down town..... You do need to go to Tacos Acatlan de Juarez and Las Brasas nothing down town there is good to eat unless you want a Chabela from La Conga!!!! I am from ChiTown home of the Pasadita the best Tacos in Chicago and the Tacos in Mexicali are bar none the best I have ever tasted.

  16. Hello R-Dub please comeback to the city of Mexicali, but venture deeper into the city . Many people will be glad to escort you to a decent place. Mexicali can not be left behind , Mexicali has to be with the elite... please come back I will tell my brother to take you to the finest place there, saludos.

  17. hey!!!! Im from Mexicali, theres a lot of places to eat real good tacos, he just had the first taco stand he saw, you should go in to mexicali, he went just right across the border where the worst things happend, is like going to down town L.A.

    ReplyDelete
  18. HAHAHA! Why on god's green earth would you go to to old downtown mexicali and eat out of all places, in a taco stand next to the sidewalk???? Mexicali is literally known for it's food, Authentic Chinese food (yes, it is made by actual chinese people), Hot Dogs wrapped in bacon, Seafood, and of course the tacos! but I gotta tell you my man, you were seriously misguided on your inspection, and that informant should be jailed! jaja, anyways, next time (if there ever is one) get a better guide, Mexicali has much better taco stands to offer...Peace!

  19. looks like you ate right by the border though, so the area is kinda tense, and just pasado or all funked up, you know. but there are good tacos down in the Mexicali barrios. trust me.

    if your looking for the right place in mexicali,
    go to "Las Brazas" its the best (in my opinion).

  29. My family (Grandpa&uncles) own the EL TECOLOTE taquerias and the tacos are just plain AMAZING and not I'm not saying that bc they are fam. bc I have tried other places and they just don't cut it. Too bad I live so far AWAY... Mexican food in northern CA is just SAD.
