Decided to try a different Mexican spot than our traditional one, it was good for our kids… adult meals were also very good. Drinks were on point. I think we will be making a switch to Xolo from our normal Mexican spot.

I had a wonderful time at Xolo last night. The service was amazing and the food was delicious. The food taste like someone’s grandmother was in the back cooking. The margaritas were amazing. The mojitos were also fresh. I will definitely recommend to a friend or family.

This was our third visit in our ten day trip to the area. Each visit started with fresh chips & salsa. Don’t expect soppy-gooey-cheesey American style Mexican food. The flavors at Xolo are fresh, light Mexico City style cuisine and well worth the effort if parking in their lot is full. On our first visit, the carnitas tacos and chicken enchiladas were superb. The second’s chili relleno was so good we had again on the third visit. The fresh roasted green beans accompanying were sublime both times, while the roasted carrots missed the mark with the second plate. House Margarita was fab with the right balance of tart/sweet and the salty rim. We were treated to a power-outage, but nonetheless enjoyed in the dark the flan, a delightful bittersweet with ever so delightfully slightly smoky/burnt edge. Daytime staff really outshone the evening crew as there truly is an art to service. Xolo is now on our short-list of must-dines. Will heartily return anytime.

My wife and I have been to Xolo a few times and liked it, but last night recommended it to our son for a party of five and was embarrassed at his report: Couldn’t find reservation in OpenTable – he had to find it for them Burrito ordered w/ quac, but came without – asked for side, $3 side came in tiny ketchup condiment cup Didn’t bring one of the meals and had to reorder and wait Brought one wrong meal – then kept that one on check after switched Hoping this is not a permanent service problem - maybe just holiday staff shortage? Honestly not sure if we will give it another try or not,

Everything was excellent and very delicious. The main floor dining room was a bit crowed and noisier than usual because of the large groups but we still had a good time. Definitely recommend this place for a good time and good menu.

The server was so nice. The guacamole and drinks were good. The remainder of the meal was okay (tostadas, tacos). The food seemed like it wasn’t actually made or cooked there. The meat looked like it wasn’t actually meat. I didn’t eat it. The bill was so high and I realize this is the case everywhere today but holy cow was it not worth it.

I was excited to order the Queso Fundido, but it was very salty and quite bland in flavor. The cheese cooled very quickly on the hot plate and solidified together, I had to cut it with a knife to eat with the tortillas. Unfortunately, it was not very tasty and looked like a cheese pancake. I also ordered the mango habanero margarita, which tasted a bit artificial. The flavor was heavy on the syrup/ triple sec, however, the habanero spice level was a good balance. Suggest using sugar on the glass rather than salt.

My family and I went to celebrate a birthday, we had a wonderful table in front of the mosaic fireplace.

While we didn’t particularly like the sangria (not very fruity) the food and ambience was enjoyable!
