“My girlfriend and I eat at xolos as out date night restaurant. unfortunately we can no longer trust their food. or order was a family margarita (for my birthday) the xolo burrito (only had red sauce no white sauce), and papa's con polo. she ate the papa's con polo, after saying to was not as good at it typically is, she finished it, and had one cup of the margarita. her food must have been under cooked, because she has been throwing up all night and still is this morning. we believe she now has food poisoning, and we no longer trust them to provide us a safe to eat meal. If it doesn't look right dont risk it. we wont anymore.“

I recommend this restaurant and will return soon.“

“6/27/25 went there for supper. waiter had no personality, our food was nasty and was cold when served to us. Best part of the meal was the chips, salsa, cheese sauce and guacamole. Waited for ever to get the bill, finally got his attention and had to ask him for it. Can not recommend this place to anyone.“

“We really enjoy this place and frequent it often. Complimentary chips, salsa and queso with spicy red salsa and salsa Verde available also on request. We appreciate that they are consistent with their food. Tuesdays at this location has import beer pint specials and Wednesdays they have margarita specials. Pictured is 2 deep fried tacos, 1 ground beef and 1 shredded chicken. Service is always professional, friendly and spot on.“

“We have been trying to get to this restaurant for some time. We finally made it! It was certainly worth the drive. This will be our go-to for Mexican food. The food was outstanding, from chips and salsa to entrees. Everything was done to perfection. It was simply the best Mexican food I've had in years. Though it is a bit of a drive for us, we will definitely be back--often. I highly recommend you give them a try, I don't believe you will be disappointed. They deserve ten stars!“

“Quiet and cozy. The authentic Mexican food was excellent. My wife and I had the "El Gordo" and it came out on 2 plates and we split the food. We were both stuffed and very impressed. I consider this an incredible value as we both got very full of amazing food for only $15.99 for the 2 of us each eating 1/2 of the order. I am looking forward to going back.“

“Been having a rough week so I decided to treat myself and I'm so glad I gave these folks a try! I got a pastor burrito and it was delicious. I knew it would be when I saw they included cucumbers and radishes in the bag of fixings but to my shock they also included a bag of grilled onions. 🤯 Absolutely phenomenal. Salsas were great as well. Hope to catch them again soon.“

“Alot of food! We had a beef chimichanga and shredded chicken chimichanga and we both ate half and ate the other half the following day. Deducted one star because we didn't get our green sauce. We will eat here again! I didn't know there was a drive thru as well, good to know.“

“I don't know if this place changed owners or management but the last few times I've gone the food as been amazing. No skimping, no cold food, friendly staff, etc. Honestly, I didn't know a taco bell could actually be this good. Very impressive.“
