I visited Xiquita Restaurante y Bar yesterday and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious full of authentic Mexican flavors and clearly made with care and passion. Everything tasted fresh, bold, and true to its roots. The owner is incredibly hands on and it really shows. You can tell he takes pride in every detail, from the kitchen to the overall experience. He treated us so well and made us feel truly welcomed. The vibe is amazing from the tea lights to the plants.. everything it’s very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Also the staff was just as great. They are overall friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food, amazing flavors, and genuine people. Xiquita’s is the rite place for you. We will definitely be back.

Amazing and unique menu. Our bartender, Issac, was super knowledgeable and walked us through every flavor on each plate, including the order in which to enjoy each plate. The tuna ceviche was packed with spice, but cut with this amazing coconut milk sauce. So different than your standard ceviche. I’ll be dreaming about this one. What a great experience. Thank you!

I’ve visited Xiquita a few times at this point and each time is delightful. The staff is welcoming and doesn’t bat an eye at my curiosities - happily answering any questions or explaining the history of a dish. Most recently we visited for a celebration, and we were spoiled with little, unexpected, tasty gifts; world class hospitality here. The food always comes out quick and often delivered by one of the chefs. Their ability to tell a story with each dish is inspiring, and the execution is outstanding. There is this perfect mix of familiarity, surprise, and the absolute perfect amount of spice that keeps me coming back. If you’re reading this, don’t hesitate. Go now, belly up to the bar, and they’ll take care of the rest.

Tortillas were fantastic—fresh, warm, and full of flavor served with a charcoal butter that was a unique, but tasty addition. The cochinita pibil was another standout, tender and delicious. A few of the other dishes didn’t quite hit the same level, but overall the meal was enjoyable and the highlights were truly memorable

Absolutely incredible food, far from your traditional Mexican. The approach to ingredients and staying true to ancestral, traditional ingredients meant a unique menu that has flavors you just don't see anywhere else. Service was amazing and this place deserves the accolades they are receiving.
