Mexicali makes my favorite burrito — I’ve been getting the same one for years, the chili lime chicken. Their homemade hot sauces are the best, I love the pineapple and lime flavors. I miss the little New Paltz location (always looked forward to that pineapple...Read More

For 6 years, the El Diablo Burrito has cockily enjoyed an undefeated winning streak against weak willed stomachs at Mexicali Blue in Wappingers Falls, NY. This demonic named challenge allows competitors up to 30 brief minutes to consume: -One 4lb El Diablo burrito stuffed with their choice of chicken, steak, or pork -One half pound each of house slaw as well ad refried beans -One ghost pepper chile infused brownie Successful completion earns you a free meal, spot on the wall of fame, and everlasting glory. Failure brings forth a 30 dollar bill and residency on the wall of SHAME. Eager to give this challenge a shot, I drove out to the restaurant with my buds ready to devour the mondo burrito. El Diablo came out of the oven at little over FIVE pounds! Stuffed to maximum capacity with so many delicious components, from seasoned rice, melty cheese, perfectly seared HUNKS of chicken, and some stellar pickled red onions as well! The beastly utrito came with a giant bowl of house slaw DRENCHED in hot sauce and an equally big bowl of tender and sweet refried beans. To complete my monstrous meal, l concluded the challenge with a soft and cakey brownie supposedly infused with ghost pepper. I ate it too fast to really feel any heat, I’m also no stranger to spice. I was happy to set a new record of finishing the meal in 17:46, earning me a free meal and killer new shirt! Head chef Chris, inventor and original defeater of the challenge, came out to congratulate me gave me a full history of the El Diablo challenge along with many stories of food challenge successes and fails. He was impressed with my time and amazed I could ingest so must despite my size. He was also disgusted to see me eat an extra brownie and churro on top of the challenge! He’ll have to make a harder challenge for me next time (hopefully including the churros which were AMAZING!) Overall, the food at Mexicali Blue tasted unreal. I highly recommend their burritos, diablo and normal sized, as well as their churros and brownies! The entire staff were beyond friendly, accommodating, and encouraging to my food challenge attempt and even allowed me to record it for my YouTube channel. Whether you’re a competitive eater or just a hungry fiend, Mexicali Blue and El Diablo absolutely belong on your bucket list. If regular portions are more your speed, you will also be well served here with their delicious array of tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and custom hot sauces!

This place is always great! We get the pernil nachos and tried the Harvest sangria. Both were delicious. Our server which we have had on multiple occasions is always friendly and knows the menu well. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun. We’ll be back soon.

Love the fresh unique flavors of the tacos and burritos. Margaritas are perfect too. Don’t like you have to pay for chips and salsa and it’s a small portion. Should definitely be cheaper!

Every time I find myself in the area, I make sure I grab some burritos from Mexicali Blue. The catfish burrito is the best. I bring home enough that the family can eat for a couple of days. Eating in is great too. The best.
