I had the absolute time of my LIFE!! I sat at the bar expecting to get drinks and an appetizer from the happy hour menu and move onto the dining room, but Carlos the bartender was so sweet and attentive we stayed for the entire meal!! Get the oysters 2 ways!! So worth it! Everything we ate was amazing, and the drinks were even BETTER!! Service was the best I’ve ever had. Will definitely come again.
Three mole here is so amazing! Everything was flavorful. Loved the crisp potatoes the most. Great service, kind and helpful explaining traditions and foods. In pictures we have the mole tasting, the veggie enchiladas, and the red snapper ????. Pricey place, but good food and environment. Also right next to discovery green for a stroll afterwards!
It was my first time here and Mario rom the Bartender was TOP NOTCH!!!! He’s cute and makes great drinks!!

Xochi presents the culinary tastes of Oaxaca, Mexico and its varied geographic regions with a d menu of Oaxaca-inspired food and drink. I had Barbacoa de Res de Zaachila which is grilled rolled skirt steak, hoja santa, guajillo puya and costeño pepper broth, potato, carrots, masa dumplings The service was excellent and they provided appreciated guidance on the unique menu items. This was a most enjoyable culinary adventure of Mexican Cuisine
Our best restaurant experience this trip was dinner at Xochi. The service and the food were uniformly excellent. The Octopus was the best I've ever had. Even the Enchilada was probably the best I've ever had. The beef cheeks literally melt in your mouth. My Partner had the fish special and felt the same. If we had any wish, it might be that Xochi do a bit of acoustic treatment to tame the decibel level. The room is almost too loud when it is hopping. Our highest recommendation
Very interesting menu with happy and great servers. Ordered 6 items - to share. Grilled oysters and octopus - cooked with hot stones. Octopus was tender and tasty. Oysters were tasty. Only drawback they were not hot. Cabrito tacos were very tasty but small. Guacamole was also very tasty and nice. The corn soup was fabulous. Mole sampler plate had 4, quartered quesadilla were large and allowed ya to try sauces (mole). Very nice.
Located in Marriott Marquis Houston, Xochi specializes in Mexican food from Oaxaca. We has taco appetizer, shrimp, scallop and steak. This are ordinary, but the way they cook it is yummy. Their ambiance and service is so personalize, they are also vvery pricey. All in all a very good dinner with family.
Everything we've tried on the menu has been fantastic. There are dishes here that you can't find anywhere else in Houston, and they're all delicious. Service is friendly, but sometimes at peak hours it can be a bit slow. It can also get pretty loud, but that can contribute to the overall high energy of the place. Great to go before a basketball or baseball game.
The food here is great as is the service; it's friendly and very professional. We booked a table and are so glad we did as we arrived about 5 minutes early and saw a few people being told about the long wait times for a table and so booking is necessary (even on a Tuesday night!). Despite booking we did have to wait about 20 minutes for our table. We were not offered a drink or anything whilst waiting but the Maitre D' did seem very conscious of our wait and a little embarrassed. We could have had a table inside sooner but we wanted the outside one we'd booked as we prefer eating outside and also, we found the air con throughout Houston very cold! The food was good value, tasty and plentiful and our best meal in Houston. The veggie options were very good and they also had a separate menu for veggies which was nice. Try the sides too.....the asparagus was delicious! It was absolutely worth the wait and the service and food were really good so the initial wait was forgotten. Definitely add it to your list!
