Restaurant Las Campanas
Traditional Mexican food since 1991
About Restaurant Las Campanas
Restaurant Las Campanas is one of Mexicali's traditional Mexican-food institutions. It opened its doors in 1991 —sibling of the also historic La Plazita (1986)— and has since been a gathering spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner in its signature mission-style building on Calzada Justo Sierra. Its menu runs through classic Mexican cuisine: the famous chiles rellenos (stuffed peppers), the Mixto México platter, huevos espinados and hearty breakfasts, served in a classic atmosphere with piano music and attentive service. More than three decades on, it remains a classic for Mexicali families and a reliable spot thanks to the consistent quality of its cooking.
