Cantón Mexicali
Mexicali Chinese
Cantón Mexicali is a Chinese restaurant in Roma that still looks like it's waiting on a 1995 wedding banquet, mostly because the new owners had the good sense to leave the decor alone. The cooking now leans Mexicali-style, which means fried shrimp in a sweet and sour chipotle salsa sharing a table with dan dan noodles and cold Tsingtaos. Younger regulars fill in around the loyal holdovers, and nobody seems to mind the carpet.
