   The staff wore masks and were polite. The margaritas were great. The tacos were mediocre at best... the citrus chicken one was super dry, but the shrimp were good. My partner noted that the food took nearly 45 mins for 6 tacos. They were hosting a 20-25 top party right in the middle of the restaurant. I thought it was a bit careless for covid times.

   Poor service, I had to leave the table and go get drinks at the bar because the waitress didn’t come to our table. Will not recommend the food, the atmosphere is great, good music so I suggest just drinks and guacamole and chips

   Tony our server was awesome. Entrees were really good. The queso we ordered was not that great, tasted gritty. Disappointed with no chips and salsa at the table. The drinks were phenomenal, would love to try more of them but they come at a higher cost. I’m ok with paying a bit more on drinks if they were as good as what we had. Overall I would go back for entree and drinks and service

   Food was just not good. It’s like a Chipotle but they seat you. We had the steak tacos, steak quesadilla, and received carne Asada for some reason (even though we ordered pork carnitas). The “filet” on all 3 dishes had a ton of fat left on the pieces. My girlfriend killed 2 gnats while eating... 1 did get away ☹️ The pictures of the bar area are great, but it is not an accurate representation of the restaurant. Lastly, the AC duct tape as dripping water in my shoulder, table, & margarita the entire time. Good feedback: the service was solid, only issue was the messed up order

    Everything was great! We were seated promptly, the ambiance was nice, and the service was great! I ordered the carne asada platter and my friend ordered a chicken burrito. The portions were huge!

    The menu was simple with good options. I was disappointed that they did not have iced tea. The waiter wasn't the most friendly but overall was ok. I would definitely go back in the future and try something new on the menu.

    Sat us at a freezing cold spot in the restaurant we asked to move, and they obliged. Every table that got sat there after us also asked to be moved because of the vents being blown right at the table. Our appetizer came out and it was cold but it had good flavor (the queso). The main entree took a very long time to come, and I think our server was nervous about it, because we didn’t see her back that entire time to check on us and ask if we wanted another cocktail or water (she was very sweet though!)

    There was some sort of vendor beer party going on when we arrived. DJ and extremely loud. We had reserved outdoor seating on OT but that res was nowhere to be found. We (my husband and I) sat in the back which was fine and waitress was very nice. The food however was terrible. We got the "trio" of dips which took forever to come and were served in 3 Styrofoam takeout containers. The queso tasted like water with cheese. Sent it back. I ordered tacos with no onions and no pico. They came out loaded with onions and pico. My husband's carne asada had large pieces of fat filled steak. Had to ask for place settings and salt and pepper. Drinks were expensive and made with margarita mix. It was a total waste of $100.

    Loved the margaritas especially the chili lime salt on the rim. We had the mango jalapeño and watermelon. My son had the carnitas tacos and really enjoyed them. I had the verde chicken enchiladas and they were delicious. Nice vibe for a new restaurant.

    The cost for two of us with two drinks was $92. This is OUTRAGEOUS! I have never been to a place that charged so much for good and drinks. I had two Micheladas and the bowl with steak, my friend had steak tacos with two vodka red bulls and we both shared the guacamole queso and salsa. It’s crazy that the total for simple items was so expensive. Price points should be changed. Loved everything else but at the present prices and the economy as it is, these costs are ridiculous.

    Taco Tuesday was okay. Could have had options for the shell as most people weren’t a fan of the. Corn tortillas

    Authentic and tasty Mexican food in an artistic ambience. Excellent and attentive service. Great Margaritas and tequila/ mezcal menu. Not your Tex-Mex, but real Mexican flavors.

    Stopped in for early dinner after work. Cute place. Great location across from armature works. There was no happy hour of any kind. Food variety on the menu looked good. Food presentation and plating was below average. I ordered enchiladas. Sauce was good but food inside was cold. My better half ordered carnitas. Came out as shredded pork. Did not look good at all. Tasted ok. This place has good potential. Staff was nice and attentive. The margaritas were average. I’d stop by again to sit in the front sidewalk and have chips and a drink but probably pass on dinner.

    Xochitl Cocina MexicanaResponded on May 30, 2020I am so sorry you came while we were closed. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic we had to close our doors after only being open a week. We are open now! Please be sure to stop by when you want some delicious tacos : )

    Food was amazing. The soup didn’t have any garnish and the top shelf tequila flight wasn’t explained to us (no idea what we were drinking. Just dropped off and walked off). But otherwise it was an amazing meal. Server was super friendly and on his A game. Food was delicious. 9/10. Will go back.

    The lighting needs work. Gorgeous space but a $20 dimmer switch would do wonders. Stark overhead track lighting is a friend to no one.

    Food was overpriced but our server was very pleasant.

    Xochitl Cocina MexicanaResponded on May 30, 2020Thanks for your post Kendra. Please know that our food consists of heirloom beans and imported masa from Oaxaca. We strive to provide delicious and nutritional food for our customers. Additionally, if you had the pork belly tacos or appetizer, that came from Heritage pork, our chicken comes from a local farm and is anti biotic free and free range. Our ingredients are pretty special, but still, we apologize for any inconvenience.
