Calexico started as a street cart in 2006, and has been serving award-winning Cal-Mex cuisine in New York City ever since.
Founded by 3 brothers from the border town of Calexico, California (California + Mexico = Calexico), the Greenpoint outpost serves elevated West Coast-style Mexican food and cocktails in a beautiful space on the corner of Bedford and Manhattan Ave. The vibe is relaxed and fun, with an eclectic soundtrack that leans toward 60’s garage rock and vintage punk. On weekends, Calexico serves what many consider to be the best Mexican brunch in New York City.
Calexico has won a good deal of recognition, including being voted the Top Mexican Restaurant in New York City by the readers of Zagat.
Simple Mexican tacos, burritos & quesadillas plus booze served amid contemporary decor. Based on 979 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.4 stars. Price $$

Loved the happy hour, 2for1 margaritas is always a Top tier, and the bloody Mary’s are so freaking good! Just missing the bacon!!! The shrimp taco is really good flavorful and enticing! (Pricey but worth it). Nachos were ok not great.

The quality of service and food it’s at it lowest in this location. With just few customers they struggled to give you the menu before 10 first min, bring you a frozen marg in the first 20 min, bringing your food takes forever, you have to wave your hand to the staff so they can finish joking with the manager and catch their attention. They just don’t care! Just go somewhere else…

Calexico in Greenpoint is basically a tier up above Chipotle or Qdoba. Their Mexican-inspired menu features flavorful dishes bursting with fresh ingredients. The vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff create a welcoming ambiance for a memorable dining experience. Also, add their special sauce to your dish.

Gorgeous and fun summer spot close to the pool. Nice and clean back yard. Staff were super attentive and food & drinks both great! They have a BOGO during happy hour.

Had an extremely distasteful experience with the bartender Kike, and with a friend of mine. She asked for the bill to be explained, his response was to “Stop being broke and just pay the damn bill”. Threatened to record us so we can lose our jobs just because we asked for the manager. $4 for Club Soda? No thanks.

Ordered the corn appetizer, and a shrimp bowl. Both were full of flavor and delicious. Pretty good quantity too.

Yummy high-quality food, great for vegans to non-vegans. Fantastic staff are attentive and pros — they keep everything going but never rush you. Relaxing atmosphere. Would love a few chips with the bowl dishes (and that addictive salsa), but no real complaints here!

Henry is the loveliest of a bartender at Calexico Greenpoint. Always professional and on point. He is welcoming and so loving and respectful. I will be back just to see him again.
