The “Pollo con Mole” (Chicken with Mole sauce) has changed from what is depicted here to a more traditional presentation of the two pieces of chicken, covered with plenty mole sauce and sesame seeds, with the rice and beans as sides in larger portions. It looks (and fills) now like a dinner plate (as it is served in Mexico!!!) Mole BTW has become (almost without planning it) our specialty thanks to customers’ requests.

We have made a couple of other changes as a transition to other major ones (and additions) coming soon. What I can say (and this is me as a true mexican living in Vancouver,) the food we offer at Calli, given the limitations of the ingredients (among others) is true mexican homemade-style food.

You can try our tortas, or our traditional quesadillas. Even the Burritos (which I have to confess are more the american style due to the acceptance they have among locals) are offered with the true mexican flavour thanks to our “homemade style salsa wich can be as spicy as you want.)

Grayelf, I don’t know when you tried the order of taquitos but we have improved them a lot!!! I encourage you to try them again.

BTW, Pozole is not longer only weekends. You can get it every day (chicken pozole that is, because the pork -real ingredient in the pozole- is not really accepted locally either.)

Cheers to all, and we wil lbe very glad to have you at Calli.

I was looking around online for comments about Calli and came across yours and Mijune’s about the Mexican food that is available in Vancouver being the same few ingredients repeated. Though I fear you are both correct, I must say that idea makes me so sad. The different cuisines (and there are many) and types of dishes in Mexico are so rich and varied. We just don’t get any of them up here. I’ve long pondered why this is so and have yet to come up with a satisfactory answer.

Calli is the only Mexican restaurant I can recommend at all at the moment, and even it has some clunkers on the menu (avoid the flautas at all costs). Their pozole, available on weekends only, is really worth trying, as it is not something you get here too often.

I understand they are in the process of changing the menu so I will have to check it out again soon.

Among their standouts, the guacamole is made to order, which is a rare treat, and the mole… OK, I judge Mexican restaurants by their mole sauce (chocolate and chili peppers — if you haven’t had this, you’re not living yet), and the mole enchiladas are obnoxiously good.

You know, I just had lunch there, and I’m thinking about going back for dinner. DEFINETELY! Brad B. Boulder

Raidar, how about dinner/supper as well?
