Mexicali -a real Mexican meal this time!

When: March 13, 2017
Where: Mexicali's, 935 Sullivan Ave, South Windsor, CT 06074

Okay, so this time I decided to get real Mexican food. We weren't planning to come here tonight, but my husband suggested we come back.
Being a Monday night, there was a special for Nachos for $5, but if we'd have known how much was on this plate, we'd have split it for dinner.
$5 Nachos
We had a great waitress, Alexis! Really helpful in explaining the differences between entrees, since we have only come to aa Mexican restaurant once before (yes, this same one), but I didn't really have a Mexican meal.

This was the Mexicali Burrito, which was "REALLY GOOD!" However, there was NO WAY my husband could eat even HALF of it! The funny thing was my husband would have never tried guacamole (doesn't like avocados) if it didn't come with it. He tried it and thought it was really good!

This was all he could eat! Even then, he was almost uncomfortably full.

 I had the Combo entrĂ©e where I chose two items.  My choice was a chicken enchilada, and Pork Chimichanga. Both dinners came with rice and beans (I'm assuming it's re-fried beans). I don't eat much Mexican food so  while I thought the rice (is it Spanish rice?) was dry, I've since heard it's not as moist as I expected. It was too dry for me, but the beans were REALLY FLAVORFUL!!
 Combo- choice of two
 
Leftovers for me made it through two more meals.... Very good.

Only thing I'd say was a 'con', was the fact I woke up in the morning REALLY THIRSTY!! I'm sure there was LOTS of salt in it.
Great meal, We even talked of taking friends of ours that live out of state, when they come to visit.
