Chicali Mexican Grill - Somerville

Excellent Mexican cuisine with fresh ingredients and served large portions. Just go for the Corn Esquites as an appetizer. Enough for 2 people to share the corn was so perfectly cooked and juicy it literally pops sweet and spicy flavor with every bite. Steak Burrito was also excellent. A great addition to Somerville!

This is our new favorite Mexican restaurant. It's authentic and everything was excellent. We ordered the fresh guacamole and beef nachos for apps and an array of burritos, tacos, enchiladas and seafood diablo for dinner. Nothing disappointed and everyone remarked how much they love their meals. Somerville really needed an authentic Mexican restaurant and Chicali is it. We'll be back for sure.

Friendly service, decent prices, and fresh ingredients. They also have vegetarian options and offer to make a dish vegetarian/vegan upon request, where they can accommodate. Give the esquites a try as an app delicious. :

Our team all agreed that our lunch selections were all excellent. I ordered a guacamole as my lunch dish didn't include any. It was a huge portion, enough for the six of us to share. Everything was excellent. One minor comment: I ordered my dish to be hot, and it wasn't hot at all. I even asked for additional hot sauce. Their hot sauce simply wasn't that hot, but it did have a nice taste though. Maybe it was a fresh batch and the hotness from the peppers wasn't developed by lunchtime?

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal! The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The service was excellent as well. We loved that every table gets salsa and chips. I ordered the vegetarian queen, while he opted for the chicken flocks. Overall, we had a wonderful time!
