Reviews for Mexicali Brews in Branchburg, NJ
Just as good as the original Sol. Not sure why some people feel its fell off. Not the case. Ate dinner here on Tuesday night.... The sangria was sweet and the food was savory and delicious. The service was as it always was. Still puzzled by the "Brews" partof the name but we didnt go downstairs to the old bar. They should stick to just being amazing Mexican food. Read more

This place was great from the moment we stepped in. The hostess was super nice and helpful. There were no seats in the main area... and we went downstairs. There was a live band and a very relaxed atmosphere. The fun started with the bartender/server, Jared,who was probably one of the best people I've ever met. Genuinely seemed to enjoy what he was doing, making people laugh, andtalking with everyone. The food was nothing short of amazing. The meat was flavorful, the drinks were a great mix, and theservice was top notch. Do not miss this place. Read more
Fantastic!! Tried it for the first time tonight. Delicious flavors and well balanced. Ingredients were fresh. Portion sizes are... massive. The specials all looked amazing. We tried a burrito and enchiladas. Chips and queso. The flan was the best I have everhad. Absolutely divine!!! Don't hesitate to give it a try. Read more
I got take out and it was good! Taco salad. Lots of beers on tap here, especially for ipa folks. went again two weeks later. IPA... beers and some wheats. Food was good. We had fajitas and fish tacos. Sangria and this appetizer - baked jalapeno popper pastry. Read more
Mediocre Mexican. The chips for the salsa felt like they were out of a box (seasoned, round corn tortilla that was in one piece;... you broke up to dip). Same for the nachos - because it was large tortillas, there were a lot of chips with no toppings. Thefajitas were large and hot but the shredded lettuce and cheese looked not fresh (poor quality and straight out of a bag). Theregular chicken burrito weirdly had little to no beans and was rather dull. HOWEVER, the Spicy Fried Chicken burrito andMolcajete were the show stoppers. The burrito… be ready for some heat. No additions needed. Now the Molcajete - amazing. Amassive mortar filled with rice, grilled vegetables, and a protein was hot, fantastic flavor, and just fricken awesome. Whileeverything else was lackluster, the steak Molacajete knocked it out of the park. Read more
Sept 18, 2021 - This was our first visit to Mexicali Brews. We liked Sol Cantina - the pre-covid Mexican restaurant at this... location - and wanted to give this new place a try. We ordered the Steak Fajitas and the Molcajete (with chicken). The portionswere a bit larger than that from Sol Cantina. The food was really good but they need to provide more tortillas for the fajitas.If we return, we may try the Molcajete with steak. Those Sol Cantina customers hoping for the same great complimentary chips andsalsa will unfortunately be disappointed. No chips/salsa provided. The staff was very attentive. There is plenty of parking. Read more
We have loved eating here! I really like the curry burrito with the fried cauliflower. It's delicious and so different! Also... really great margaritas! We recently had my daughter's birthday party here and I cannot rave enough about how happy we were withour experience. Stephanie made it so easy to book our date and to figure out the menu and within the budget that we were lookingfor. They were so flexible with our needs in terms of decorating the space and even helped us figure out how to have the kidsenjoy the pinata out back. Everyone, children and adults, loved the food and the drinks and the guests let me know how nice andthoughtful the staff is. We even had a magician come and it was no problem at all. When all was said and done even our finalbill was super reasonable. Would recommend for a fun and delicious party venue. Thank you so much for everything! Read more
