XOCO is a restaurant with a mixed start, as the greeter can come across as unfriendly. However, the service is generally great once you pass through the initial hurdle. The portion sizes during happy hour are small, but the Churros and Habanero pepper sauce are absolutely amazing. The Mezcal is also a highlight, and it's recommended to order a margarita.
The restaurant offers a torta, which is only available on Fridays, and features a special green homemade sauce. Customers describe it as "off the chain" but also find it expensive for a single sandwich. The Churros are a must-try, with the Cajeta (Mexican dulce de leche with cinnamon sugar) and the pistachio-glazed options being particularly delightful. The Classic Hot Chocolate pairs perfectly with the pistachio churro, which is described as "nutty, sweet goodness."
The flavors at XOCO are fantastically deep, and the slow preparation of the meat is evident in the dishes. The decor is very Mexican, and customers recommend visiting the restaurant if you're in Chicago.
