I found this little eatery in Oakland Ca. Its on the corner of Clay and 12th or Clay and International, I can't remember. The parking lot was packed so I took that as a good sign. Once inside there was plenty of seating. Mexicali Rose is a place to go to get your "GRUB"on. It's hard to tell from the photo but that plate is nearly an inch and a half deep, and about 15 inches across. Authentic beans con mucho manteca (full o' lard). The salsa was authentico. There's nothing 
worse than a Mexican restaurant that serves sissy gringo salsa. But the numero uno surprise was the best chili rellano I've ever had in my life. Them's good eats! Thick eggy breading and tons o' cheese inside the pepper. So if you're ever in Oakland, and it's daylight, and you have a fast car and an adventurous spririt, try Mexicali Rose. Just be sure to keep looking over your shoulder. Not the best neighborhood. Just look at this satisfied customer. Soggy says, "Muy sabroso, no?"

Pink Restaurants are always a good idea.
Who would have thought that a place so pink would serve such manly food as all that?
