Flights from Calexico Airport, Calexico

When you travel to Mexicali, you'll be in the capital of Baja California, which is filled with attractions and great food. The city was originally created as a traveler destination with the help of states like Arizona, California and Nevada. In the city, you'll be able to find historic landmarks, amazing Chinese food and sports. Mexicali is the perfect destination for young travelers who love beer because there are local breweries that make some delicious craft beers.

Attractions

You may be surprised to find out that Mexicali is the home to some of the best Chinese food in North America, but many Chinese restaurants opened when Chinese workers migrated to Mexicali in the early 1900s. There are over 100 Chinese restaurants throughout the city, but you'll be able to find them by their local name "La Chinesca." The local breweries are another place where you can delight your tastebuds because a German chemist came to the city in the 1920s and helped found Ceverceria Mexicali, which was the first brewery in Baja, California. If you're a sports fan, you can catch a baseball, basketball or soccer game during the sports' seasons.
