Nice Coffe Shop, very big and on two floors. The quality is the usual at Starbucks. The menu is a little different so you might need to check to make sure you are having the same you normally have in the US. Sandwich are good. The service is good and they look very proud to be part of the American dream of Cofee. There is plenty of parking space in front.

Had been looking forward to eating here after Reading the great reviews on TA and hearing the recommendations from the locals.
We arrived on a very busy Sunday afternoon and the wait for a table of two was between 10 - 15mins. Service was quick and efficient which was great considering the restaurant seemed understaffed.
The atmosphere was pleasant albeit loud which was fine considering how busy the restaurant was however the addition of the live harp player made it difficult to have a conversation. The ceilings of the establishment are very low and the restaurant itself is very compact therefore with all these factors to consider, the acoustics are not ideal for live music.
The limonada mineral was very refreshing and we ordered the Filete Norteno and Filete a la tampiqueña. The presentation was unappetising however I was hoping the taste would make up for it however both dishes were bland and nothing spectacular. Even the cuts of meat were of a low quality.
The restaurant itself looks very classy however the food did not thrill me which was a shame.
Also, upon paying by credit card we were asked directly if we would be including a tip which I thought was quite presumptuous. It would have been acceptable if this was written on the receipt as opposed to being asked directly by the waiter.

I have been eating here for 20 years and I love this place. I recommend it if you want some sushi or tepanyaki. I usually order Skura Tepanyaki. It comes with their rice and house sauce. Great meat selection and plenty of vegetables. You can't beat the price $60 for a family of 4.
7. Asadero Acatlan de Juarez
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 120 reviews
Reviewed By John D - Mexicali, Mexico
I've eaten at Asadero Acatlan several times when I've been in that neighborhood and have always enjoyed my meal. The carne is well prepared but what makes it special is the variety of toppings offered. Having said that, Asadero El Pirul, Urbano Vásquez 260, González Ortega, 21397 Mexicali, (Calle Cuarto between Lazaro Cardenes and the caraterra) is the best in Mexicali. Hey Trip Advisor staff, why isn't El Pirul on your list of places to review? I would definitely give it a 5.
8. Bangkok Thai Cuisine

Reviewed By ANATGARCIA - Mexicali
The food here is authentic Thai, people who have been to Thailand say is is too close to be so far.
the place is not elegant or chick, but is nice and clean, it looks more like a cafeteria, but the service is great and the food is very very good.
It is not cozy, like to go and have a romantic dinner, it is just a place to eat and eat very good.
they have a great variety of food. I have been there three times and it is always very good.
