El Nuevo Mexicali

This place was terrible, the food was completely awful! My husband and I looked online for a place that had great reviews for authentic Mexican food. We just moved here from Visalia so thought we’d try a place out in Exeter. The reviews were completely deceiving and the food was disgusting. We ordered 2 shrimp cocktails, 2 asada tacos and asada fries. The shrimp cocktails.. let’s just say they should change the name to “tomato cocktail”, this tomato cocktail had 5 shrimp! Yes, 5 shrimp… seriously?! and they sure over charge for this tomato cocktail with 5 shrimp. So disappointing. The asada tacos were tiny, oily, flavorless and the meat was tough. The asada fries.. I’m sure they were made from frozen fries that were soggy, with tough flavorless asada meat, cold cheddar cheese and gross canned beans. I’m sorry people but please try food elsewhere before you offer a good review on restaurants and claim they are “authentic Mexican food” when they are simply gross over priced restaurants that take advantage of people that live in small towns who choose to eat locally. This is just sad, my husband and I were so excited to try this place out because of the great reviews and thought we might find a hidden gem in Exeter, but we were wrong. I never post reviews but this was definitely something I needed to write a review on.

I love this place even when the restaurant was under another owner. Food is great and amazing customer service. Fast and tasty food. You can go in and order to go or you can dine in. Also they offer delivery which is awesome. I Highly recommend this place. It's located downtown so after you walk around and see the amazing murals Exeter has than you can head to have some Mexican food. It's under new Name but amazing food.
