122 Union St
Brooklyn, NY 11231
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 Union Street outpost serves elevated West Coast-style Mexican food and drinks in a cozy space in the cool Columbia Street Waterfront district of Brooklyn. The vibe is fun and relaxed, with an eclectic soundtrack that leans toward 60's garage rock and vintage punk rock, and old-school hip hop. 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 Roberta's and Per Se.
