“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 visited Don Chuy's in Lee's Summit last week for the first time, I had combination fajitas that were well seasoned and generous portion of everything. Zion served me at the bar.

I recommend this restaurant and will return soon.“

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.

“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.“

“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.“

“AMAZING FOOD!!! Service was fast and friendly. Fried mushrooms were so good, as was the marinara sauce that came with the mozzerella sticks. I would buy a jar of that in a heartbeat! We will definitely be back.“

“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.“
