About Quixote

Quixote offers a memorable dining experience with knowledgeable servers who guide guests through a menu of delicious small plates. The restaurant's ambiance is dark and intimate, making it perfect for a date or hanging out with friends. The atmosphere encourages good conversation and features a unique vibe, with a decor that resembles an old church with stained glass and medieval-like decorations. Standout dishes include Memelita, Crispy Chicken Tacos, Crab Corn Doughnut, and Beet Salad. The menu is designed with dishes that pair well together or can be enjoyed as a complete opposite to challenge taste buds. Unique drinks like Sudden Death and a wide selection of tequila and mezcal add to the experience, encouraging guests to experiment. Desserts such as Fritters provide a perfect ending, and a special anniversary dessert of pineapple sorbet with hibiscus orbs and a rose is offered on the house. Though parking is difficult, Uber is recommended. Friendly service, especially from staff like Danny and Yari, along with a cozy, dark setting, make Quixote a place worth returning to. The food is praised for being delicious and not your average Mexican fare, with appetizers like huitlacoche tamal and caviar crab cake, and ribs that are highly recommended. The restaurant’s vibe and food make it a cool, different experience, ideal for a date night or trying some of the weird dishes.
