Not surprised they’re are permanently closing when their doors are locked at scheduled open time and there’s staff inside. Used to love this restaurant, it’s sad to see what it’s become.
Edit: 12:25 and they’re still locked up! Shocking that they couldn’t stay open any longer.
Edit 2: Glad they can take a delivery at 2:25 though!!!!
Edit 3: their employees provide such amazing customer service they’ll even find you on Facebook for a chat! Photo evidence attached! ☺️

I have never been more displeased with a food experience in my life. After waiting over 40 minutes for our food to arrive (the restaurant was nearly empty at the time), my wife and I received arguably the most disappointing meal of our lives. I ordered a tamale only to receive a flavorless pile of mush that didn’t even look appealing, and we were both shocked to realize that the sides of rice and beans weren’t even good. We were told that they have top 5 margaritas in the area, to our surprise, they were probably the worst margaritas we have ever received from a Mexican restaurant, not to mention, the most expensive. On top of all of that, I’ve been suffering from food poisoning for the past two days that I’m 99% sure I got from Xuma. There were two things that elevated this experience from zero stars to one star: 1. Our server name Zack was great. 2. The guacamole, although overpriced, was delicious. All in all, $75 was wasted.

We sat at the bar and our server (the bartender) was too busy making margaritas to pay attention to us. Not impressed by service, but food was okay.

Food was extremely salty…go to a local taqueria and get your street tacos…nothing justifies their pricing.(servers don’t count cuz tip pays for that portion of the experience). Went to check out and they had inflated their tip percentages by $5. Clarity server was fantastic but the restaurant not worth the investment.

We were visiting Fayetteville for a long weekend and were lucky to visit this gem. If you’re eager for good quality food/ beverages and enjoy the experience of a meal, this spot is perfect. If you want a fast paced quick Tex Mex joint, this isn’t it. As a person with dietary restrictions (gluten free & vegetarian), the food was an absolute delight. As a margarita snob, I was super impressed. I strongly believe the negative reviews left were only a result of people who care more about the speed of getting into the door and getting food into their mouths versus quality of the food and the overall experience. The ambiance was an added bonus. I would absolutely return again, especially if we lived near by.

Wow! We had dinner at Xuma for Valentine’s Day, something my spouse and I typically avoid. But we’re so grateful we got to experience the first class meal they had for valentines dinner! As a vegetarian, most places only have a limited menu and the options are unfulfilling… this was nothing but incredible tasting food and perfect portions! And there was a vegetarian option for every course! Don’t walk, run to Xuma. Make sure to grab a spicy margarita too!

I love this place. Great food with many gluten free options. Our server was attentive. It has a comfy atmosphere.
Had the best time here for NYE! We didn't have a reservation but they were able to seat us. Recommendations: queso fundido with chorizo and poblanos, house spicy margaritas, and tacos with carnitas!

I've been around a long time and I'm struggling to think of a meal worse than the enfrijoladas I had from here last night. There was the time that my dad made oatmeal and put 2 tablespoons of salt instead of 2 teaspoons. I would still choose that over this place because at least, it had some seasoning.The poblano and cheese one, had no cheese. The chorizo one tasted soapy. I love cilantro, so it wasn't because of that. Everything was dry and totally devoid of any seasoning. It's the most expensive meal my chickens have ever had, and frankly, I'm a little surprised that they ate it.

It was a cold damp night, I was excited to try this place out because they had some yummy sounding vegetarian options. We came in, stood at the door, and stood at the door, saw one waiter go by, no greeting, the bartender was talking away, saw us, no greeting. Finally, the bartender came over and asked if she could help. We said we would like a table. She took us and seated us at a table, with menus. We looked it over, again, time went by, waiter went by 3 times before he greeted us. We waited...... Finally we just left. Not sure if they were short staffed, but it was a bad experience.

Fantastic brunch! Bolas de masa and gravy was such a great change of pace. Loved the gravy sauce, the addition of the pickled onion, and the masa balls. The chips are nice, thick tortilla chips. The cheese and salsa mix had a wonderful smokey flavor. And I found the jicama cakes had a yummy crema sauce with them. The patio on a crisp fall morning with a Bloody Mary was perfection

The food is inventive and delicious but mine was barely room temperature. A slightly warmed meal is a hard let down when you're expecting a hot meal. I will try this place again and hope for better next time bc the service was on time and kind, and sitting outside was a real treat.
