Few foods are as flavorful as those inspired by Mexico, with aromatic spices, crisp, fresh produce, and crunchy tortillas. Americans have a deep love for Mexican food, and we also love those Mexican food franchises that put a creative spin on one of our favorite cuisines.

So when a restaurant chain like Café Mexicali comes along and turns heads, makes taste buds perk up, and wins awards, people pay attention when that restaurant begins franchising.

Mexican Restaurants Are Easily in Our Top 3 Cuisines

There’s no question: Mexican food is one of America’s favorite cuisines to eat. It is consistently in the top 3 of Google searches and regularly ranks as a fan favorite.

Of course, people will argue about traditional dishes and how authentic Mexican food is from one place to the next.

What people truly want, however, is to be wowed with flavor. Whether the menu features tacos, enchiladas, or another take on Mexican cuisine, a quality Mexican grill will do well when the food stands out. It has to be fresh and flavorful, customizable, and most of all, memorable.

With those attributes, Mexican restaurant franchises frequently become family favorites for a night out.

The History of Cafe Mexicali Mexican Restaurant Franchise

The best Mexican food franchises thrive by giving people the best flavors for their Mexican craveable food. The secret is serving food with layers of flavors, whether with burritos, an original ground beef taco, or any other Mexican-style cuisine.

Café Mexicali founder Rick Krammer discovered during his university years that he had a penchant for understanding flavor profiles. He has a knack for creating recipes that balance sweet or savory flavor profiles incredibly well. This revelation was a life-changing moment for Rick.

He pivoted into the hospitality industry, where he has been the creative and inspiring force behind several restaurant concepts. Krammer is the innovative mind behind the Café Mexicali menu that has so many customers craving their food. He’s developed each dish layer by layer so that each ingredient is a flavor powerhouse on its own. When customers add their chosen ingredients to their meals, they cannot help but be wowed by the flavors they experience.

Add in how Café Mexicali customers receive “twice for the price” portions of our foods, and our loyal fans have affordable food they love each time they visit.

Krammer’s business partner David Hoffman complements him in all the right ways. Where Rick is bold and innovative in the kitchen, David is sharp and experienced with analyzing data and complex problems in a fast-paced environment. His experience as a Naval Officer in the Nuclear Navy, as well as his mechanical engineering degree, have served him well in developing the Café Mexicali franchise model for expansion.

Cafe Mexicali: Not Your Average Mexican Restaurant Franchise
