   A wonderful option for flavorful CDMX style food. Not heavy like Tex Mex (which I grew up eating in Texas), but creative and well spiced. We shared the small plates: green mole carrots, Ceviche, and tostados with various salsas, all delicious. My favorite was the grilled Yelowtail entre--expensive to be sure, but plenty for two to share. Our server cheerfully accommodated some dietary restrictions and made great NA drink suggestions. We will be back.

   This was our first visit to Xiquita, but certainly will not be our last. The food is thoughtfully prepared, beautiful to look at, and exquisite to eat. I will have dreams about the masa, I’m sure. Chef Erasamo came to our table and shared with us a history lesson on corn and his heritage. His passion and care for his dishes was palpable and inspiring. Our server, Dylan, was attentive, knowledgeable, and was a joy. We felt to trust him with the meal and the dishes that he brought to us were beyond delicious. Some challenged our palates, some excited our minds, and some comforted our souls. We left happy and fulfilled and already planning our return.

   Highly recommend this lovely restaurant. The food is inspired - truly celebrating Mexico's amazing cuisine, which is varied and rich. Cocktail: the martini sucia with cilantro infused vermouth. Taco (MASA) de Pato and Huarache were excellent. Wine list is small but curated. Go! You will not be disappointed.

   Xiquita is a real treasure! The cuisine is reminiscent of Oaxaca, Mexico, but recreated in an imaginative way with ingredients and textures carefully prepared and beautifully presented, often with a garnish of tiny marigolds. The chefs, Erasmo and Renee, brought our small plates to the table, explaining the food and its origins. They take such an infectious pride in their creations, and, as a result, our experience was all the more joyful. By night’s end, we had made a list of all the friends we plan to bring to Xiquita. A great pleasure.

   Unbelievable experience. Scratch made masa made daily, superb cocktails and a passionate staff. Chef Raz told us a little about each of the amazing dishes we had, Tamal Oaxaqueno, Taco De Pato, Ceviche/Tiradito/Agua Chile. Can’t wait to come back.

   We came for happy hour after seeing Tik Toks about how great it was, we were informed that they’d stopped doing it a week ago. Hours of operation were also inaccurate saying they opened at 3, but now open at 4. We ordered two items to share, the bone marrow was so spicy I was overwhelmed and couldn’t eat anything else. The Molete was difficult to cut into. Would try again for sure, just wasn’t the experience we’d been hoping for. That being said the staff was extremely friendly! And the restaurant was clean.
