"Canton Mexicali looks like a pretty straightforward Chinese restaurant. And that’s because up until a few years ago, it was. New owners have kept the very mid-’90s feel, but now serves Mexicali-style Chinese food to cool kids and a few loyal holdovers. The camarones chipotle (fried shrimp in a sweet and sour chipotle salsa) are an essential order, and the perfect introduction to what’s happening here. Add the spicy cucumber salad, dan dan noodles, and a round of Tsingtaos for the full experience." - guillaume guevara
