Mexicali Blues - International Week

Mexicali Blues is a Mexican restaurant on Wilson Boulevard in Clarendon in Arlington, Virginia.  Mexicali Blues serves a wide variety of traditional Mexican cuisine from quesadillas to pupusas to enchiladas.  Below is a chicken tortilla salad with balsamic vinaigrette, one of the many items on the menu.

The restaurant has a bar and indoor seating along with some outdoor seating near the street.  Parking can be somewhat difficult as Clarendon is a popular area for restaurants, however, the restaurant is very close to the Clarendon metro so it is still very accessible.  Mexicali Blues also features their signature drink, a margarita with a small corona upside down inside.  While we (obviously) have never experienced this drink it is apparently extremely popular in the restaurant.  At Mexicali Blues you might even get lucky and see a famous Washington-area athlete from teams such as the Washington Capitols and the Washington Nationals who have been known to visit the restaurant.  For more information about this restaurant and to see the full menu you can visit the website at http://www.mexicali-blues.com/.
