Possibly one of the best mesican restos in the city. All the drinks and food were delicious. Highly recommended.
Such an incredible experience . Tasting menu was amazing !
The decor of Xixa is modern and elegant with cozy ambiance and friendly service. Their signature cocktail is eye-catching and it tasted refreshing. We got their Chef Selection and enjoyed a total of 10 courses with lots of surprise.Our favorite dishes were Artichoke Fundido, Confit Short Ribs and Churros. The fundido was creamy, rich and perfectly matched with chips. The ribs were tender, soft and flavorful. What really impressed us among all was the crispy and sinful churros and it’s amazingly satisfying with the dipping sauce.People recommended us to have their Chef Selection, $55 per person and it's really a pretty good deal. However, we wouldn't go for it next time and just ordered what we like since the portion is too much for us.
Highly recommend the tasting menu. Dish highlights: fish tacos, foie gras Pastor, bone marrow, cheese fonita, churros
Kind of a bit short of superlatives for this place - it was that good. Service was absolutely stand out (Andrew - thank you) and food and cocktails off the dial. Hard to pick a favourite dish - either the carrots or octopus and chorizo starter. For the first time in my trip I chose to leave more than the 20% tip - I’m a Yorkshireman so not something I do lightly. It was that good. Worth the trip and our favourite meal of all the restaurants I curated from Michelin and other sites. Go!
Visited Xixa to celebrate my birthday! My friend and I tried the tasting menu including 8 savory dishes and 2 desserts. Each of the chef selection was tasty.

Food was consistently excellent. Drinks were delicious, with a well priced wine list and a great array of less obvious agave spirit choices. Staff were warm and helpful throughout. Great atmosphere - beautiful art, great tunes and a perfect level of buzz (even at capacity on a Friday night it wasn't unreasonably loud).We'll definitely be returning!
Nice Cozy in the cut Spot!!Came here for a second Corporate Event! It's not a particularly big venue, however the ambiance and music give it a good vibe! Since our menu was pre-selected...I can only comment on what was served verses what I'd actually order for myself.-Fish ? Tacos?- Amazing?-This Black Rice w/ Fried Octopus?-Deliciousness (4got to get a ? tho?)-Roast Beef? w/ tortillas & sides- ?Yummy-Guacamole ? w/ chips- It was okay(It was freshly made but I'm not a guac fan in particular), but I've tasted better(no shade?)... them salted lime tortilla chips it came with were..bomb tho??-Tuna Tar Tar ?- Good (I only tried it, bc I didn't know what it was..? I don't do raw seafood.? However it was seasoned very well?-Fried Tempura Chicken?- Okay, the sauce on the chicken was good tho-Fried brussel sprouts- Okay to Good with topping-? Cheese Dip with tortilla Chips-?Oily, but good-Some French Toast thing- Oily & Mushy, that one was a no for me??-Churos- I suspect good, bc I didn't try(Oily as wellupon grasp) I think ate it prior @ anoth C.Event it left no impression.-Mango Cheesecake ?-Is sent from the gods??ok! It is everything, from taste to texture, light fluffy & creamy, the crust is firm but soft.. if you like sweets that is. And the sauce, cream, and fruit added makes it even more amaze balls??Drinks were good and strong, not to many sweet options in my opinion. However,again we had a pre-selected menu! Lots of tequila tho?. All in all the waiters did there best to accommodate our party and we had a really good time! S/o to Alex, he was a super ⭐ with handling the group!! Definitely worth a Dine-In try with a small group of friends or a date!!
Super friendly staff. Great drinks (añejo tequila old-fashioned). The duck is #1 for me, followed by the bone marrow tacos and the foie gras french toasts. Consider also the short rib, shrimp/scallops and octopus rice. Incredible food.
One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. Food is next level. Staff is super friendly. Drinks are amazing. This place should be impossible to get a reservation, and yet it’s not. Highly recommend. Restores faith in humanity and New York City.
