Calexico started as a street cart in 2006, and has been serving award-winning Cal-Mex cuisine to New Yorkers ever since. Founded by 3 brothers from the border town of Calexico, California (California + Mexico = Calexico), Calexico's Greenpoint outpost serves elevated West Coast-style Mexican food and cocktails in a beautiful space in the heart of bustling, hip Greenpoint. The vibe is fun and relaxed, with an eclectic soundtrack that leans toward 60's garage rock, vintage punk, and old-school hip hop. 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, having been voted the "Top Mexican Restaurant in NYC" by the readers of Zagat. Calexico is a multi-year winner of the coveted Vendy Award, and was named to the Daily News' prestigious list of "The Most Influential Restaurants of the Decade," alongside Per Se and Roberta's.

Got a takeout barbacoa bowl, which turned out to contain no barbacoa at all. Definitely would not even consider going here in the future!
