If you're a big fan of the best Mexican food at the Lake of the Ozarks , you're going to want your kids to love it too. That way it won't be any trouble at all to convince them to pick Mexicali Blues when you pose the question, " Where should we eat tonight? "  Some of the flavors in Mexican food may be a bit advanced for a young palate, but that's not a problem at our Lake of the Ozarks Mexican restaurant . We have an excellent kid's menu with items that children already like, plus a few simple Mexican dishes to introduce them to our cuisine. There are also a few items on our regular menu that make for a nice "gateway food" as their taste buds get braver.  KIDS' MEALS These meals come in child-sized portions, without a lot of extra ingredients to turn off picky eaters.  Cheese Quesadilla Taco  - Corn shell, beef, lettuce, and cheese, served with fries.

Most people believe that when we celebrate Cinco de Mayo each May 5 at our Lake of the Ozarks Mexican restaurant , that event is in honor of Mexico's Independence Day. Not so! In fact, this Saturday, September 16 is the actual celebration, also known as "Grito de Dolores" (which is Spanish for "Cry of Dolores") which is an excellent excuse to join us at Mexicali Blues for a little fun.  Cinco de Mayo takes place to commemorate the Mexican army's victory over the French forces of Napoleon III in 1862 at the Battle of Puebla. Grito de Dolores is the beginning of the Mexican War of Independence in 1810. After a decade of war, Spain's control over the country was removed, which before the war ended was known as New Spain rather than Mexico. "Cry of Dolores" does not refer to  a woman's name in this case, but the name of the city where the Mexican War of Independence began in the early morning hours of September 16, 1810. A priest named ...

Appetizers are great for starting a meal, stimulating your appetite just enough that you're ready for the main course. They're also perfect for those times when you're kind of hungry, but not quite enough for a full plate of food. No matter which is the case, the appetizer menu at Mexicali Blues is filled items that will deliciously satisfy whatever your needs may be.  The appetizer menu from our Lake of the Ozarks Mexican restaurant offers dishes that are great for sharing with a table full of people. We have lots of customers that order an app to keep to themselves too, rather than choosing a lunch or dinner item.  Another option for a smaller appetite is our ala carte menu. You can order a single Flauta, Enchilada, Chili Relleno, Taco, Tamale, or Burrito, or a side of Beans & Rice or Black Beans & Rice. Of course, an option for a larger appetite is to order more than one appetizer! Regardless of how you choose to order, here are the mouthwatering appetiz...

Everyone is very excited about a relaxing, 3-day holiday weekend, but have you ever stopped to wonder exactly why we get this break? Labor Day is on our calendar every year as a national holiday, but when, and why, did it become one? That subject came up here at Mexicali Blues , so we decided to do a little research This is what we found out. What is Labor Day Obviously, it's a holiday where a lot of people get the day off of work and school, but there's a reason that it became a holiday. It is meant to be a tribute to the many contributions that American workers make every day. The hard work that we put in "making a living" helps to make our country stronger, more prosperous, and a great place to call home. We know that you work hard, so you deserve a few special days to relax and feel good about that!   The Creation of a National Holiday The very first Labor Day was celebrated with a parade in New York City on September 5, 1882. This was not yet a national ...
