The food was delicious, I had the pork and the flavor was wonderful.

I ordered the veggie bowl to go. It tasted fine but it was different than what I expected based on what was listed on the to-go menu (my bowl had roasted beets instead of squash and the bowl I received didn’t have any cotija, which of course I was looking forward to). Kind of a bummer. Plus they forgot to include the side of guacamole I had added so I had to go back and ask for that. All in all, an “eh” experience. It wouldn’t be on the top of my list to return to.

Beautiful space. Great service for our large group. Food was unique. Shrimp Sope was delicious- hot sauce was HOTT! Beet and chocolate mole had a bitterness or some flavor that was unexpected. Not sure if that was purposeful. Maybe in the summer I will come for back patio space which looks lovely.

Came here with a large group and had a great time. Amazing food, solid cocktails. We were here with a group of 15 and everyone found something they liked. Looking forward to coming back again soon!

Obscene prices for sub par food. Chile salt rim upcharge LOLLL. My 3 2” quesadillas were $27, missing ingredients, and took 50 minutes. Ridiculous 😌 cute spot tho

Wow, so good! Really loved the ceviche and fish tacos, the vegan tamales were very good, but not on the same level. We liked the black bean tamale better than the quest. Friendly servers and an all around good vibe.

Nice atmosphere. Great bar. Food, very good. Prices are high. What I didn’t like was having a 20% tip automatically added to the bill. Fortunately, the server informed me as I was about to add a ‘second’ tip. Btw good for her. I would have raised holy hell if she hadn’t.Tipping is completely out of control in this town. We need to stop calling it a ‘tip’ because now a days it often just gets taken regardless of the service. From now on, let’s just call it paying the servers wage. It’s not a tip.Our service was good and I would have left a good tip but in this case I was too busy paying her wage.Anyway, this is a good special occasion place or to take a date.Get the chocolate drink for desert. Best part of the meal.

This is going on our list of regulars. I could eat here every day and be perfectly happy
We had our small wedding ceremony and reception at Xico and it was wonderful. The patio was beautiful, the food delicious, and the service excellent. Kacey was so easy to work with and very helpful with organizing the event.

we went here 10/22. We had been there before and had some good food, especially a chorizo salad taco on fresh seemingly hand made tortillas. That's not on the menu anymore... This time my partner had chicken mole and raved about it, she gave me a taste and it was really good. My dinner, the carnitas sampler came out on a cold plate at lukewarm temperature with cold corn tortillas on the side, they came straight out of the fridge and were commercial ones, not the handmade tortilleria type we had before. It wasn't really crowded when we were there and it took over a half hour to get our plates, so it should have been hot, I'd say....we may try it again, sometime, but gotta say, this was a dissappoint.

Xico was a transcendent Mexican-influenced dining experience. Everything was wonderful. It is so nice to find a Mexican restaurant that is not just all overly complicated tacos and burritos. Of note, the warm beets and red mole were amazing. The chocolate mole was quite heavy on the chocolate and more like a chocolate sauce than a mole. Otherwise everything was exceptional.

First time here and a not so great experience. The food was tasty, but felt the price point was high for the quality and amount of food provided. Service was mediocre at best.We arrived around 5:40 to a mostly empty dining room, and were told that because we did not have a reservation, the earliest we could be seated would be 7:30 for a party of 2. We totally understood as it was Friday evening. We said we would look at other options possibly, and I checked Resy after walking outside and was surprised to see there were multiple reservations available for 6:30 and beyond, so we booked for 6:30. We arrived around 6:25 and were seated. We placed our drink, appetizer, and entree order all at once. It took about 25 minutes for the Queso Flameado to come out - it was tasty and the tortillas were warm. Then we waited another 45 minutes for our entrees of the beef birria quesadilla and fish tacos to come out. The flavors were good, but the portions for the birria quesadilla was shocking considering it was $25 + an additional 20% service fee. I understand it's upscale, but I felt the portion did not match the price point. The water cups were quite small (maybe 6oz) and I had an empty water cup the entire meal. The server was floating around and came to take finished plates, but did not refill the water cup. I get it was a busy Friday evening, but overall we felt like our table was neglected.
