Tucked inside Calexico, the menu at Calexico Apples is a bold celebration of flavor, where Mexican-American fusion gets a vibrant twist. Standout starters include the Apple Nachos, a playful and surprisingly satisfying mix of thinly sliced apples layered with savory toppings like caramelized onions, jalapeños, cheddar, and a hint of tajín—sweet, spicy, and totally addictive. The Crispy Apple Tacos are another inventive treat, served in lightly fried taco shells stuffed with pulled pork, coleslaw, and a tangy apple salsa that hits all the right notes.
For heartier appetites, the Applewood-Smoked Burrito brings serious depth with slow-cooked beef, smoky chipotle beans, and chunks of roasted apples folded into a warm flour tortilla. The Grilled Chicken Quesadilla impresses with perfectly melted cheese and a zingy apple-cilantro crema that elevates it beyond your average quesadilla. Another must-try is the Calexico Chili Bowl, a comforting bowl of spicy ground beef, black beans, and diced apples that add an unexpected but welcome crunch.
Vegetarians aren’t left out—the Roasted Veggie Enchiladas wrapped in corn tortillas and topped with apple-chipotle sauce deliver big flavor without the meat. For a lighter option, the Apple Avocado Salad combines fresh greens, sliced apples, avocado, red onions, and a honey-lime vinaigrette that brings it all together beautifully.
On the sweeter side, the Cinnamon Apple Churros are golden, crisp, and dusted in sugar, served with a rich apple caramel dip that’s impossible to resist. And if you're after something chilled, the Frozen Apple Horchata blends cinnamon, rice milk, and tart apple essence into a creamy, refreshing drink that’s as unique as the restaurant itself.
Each dish at Calexico Apples feels thoughtfully curated—apples aren’t just an ingredient, they’re a theme, woven seamlessly into every bite.
