Reviews for Xochi in Houston, TX
Food was incredible. Ordered all based on recommendations of bartender who was super helpful and informative. 3 small plates -... beef cheek, some stacked thing with pork, and some croquettes (which were finished with crickets!!). Each dish was super wellseasoned and composed. Best food by far I had in Houston. Read more
Phenomenal! Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend you try this place. We ordered the octopus, and that octopus was cooked to... perfection. If you’re looking for a good octopus 10 out of 10 recommend. The other food I also ingested that day wasabsolutely delicious. I cannot wait until my next trip to this restaurant. Read more
Good cuisine, great service, nice ambience! The food was good and tasted different. The presentation was very well done!... However, a few key things disappointed me. The sauce over the steak was too covering and couldn’t enjoy the steak. Besides,the steak was overcooked, when I asked for a medium rare, and smelled not fresh. The dessert was nice! Interesting! It is anexpensive place and I’m not sure if it’s worth it - there are definitely better places for better price and quality. Goodfor a date tho. The drinks look nice, but the great Margarita ($29) is not worth it. Read more
Xochi is the best of the best. Hugo Ortega has built a dining dynasty in Houston and this restaurant is the crown jewel. Each of... his other places is unique and excellent, but this is where he food and drink offerings really shine. Everything is creative,delicious, and inspired. Do not miss the chocolate dessert featuring the chocolate cacao pod. Read more
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 2ways!! So worth it! Everything we ate was amazing, and the drinks were even BETTER!! Service was the best I’ve ever had. Willdefinitely come again. Read more
Today is my very first time ever to come to Xochi.???????????????????????????? The purpose of our visit was to celebrate a... family birthday and I can honestly say we were so glad ???? to have a very positive experience that quite frankly it exceededour expectations. Our server Villaseñor gave us outstanding customer service and gave us insight into the menu choices. Theentire staff was so helpful and we had a really nice table inside a room with glass walls. The food was different from what Ihave had previously from other Mexican restaurants. We enjoyed our food and we had an opportunity to explore a new type ofcuisine from southern Mexico ???????? that is very hard to find in Texas. We decided to be adventurous and have the ant ????mole with crispy crickets ???? . It was fun and adventurous since we have never had an opportunity to do this before in ourlifetime. The food is prepared by very good chefs and the quality of the food is excellent. Just as you should not judge abook ???? by it cover you need to have an open mind to taste great food you never tried before. I enjoyed our dinner and myfamily experienced an unforgettable new and pleasant experience at Xochi. Read more

Overall we had a fabulousexperience and we will definitely come back! Read more
If you're gluten-free and love Mexican food, this is a great place. I came with a group of friends and we enjoyed the evening... very much. The food was good but not the best Mexican I've had. Oddly, for the pricing of this place, the presentation waslacking. For example, the mole tasting, which you would think is a premier dish for them, came disheveled with disposable woodenspoons for each mole. Another example, the steak was solid but nothing special except maybe they poured some mole overit. Although I'm not a dessert person, I would say the chocolate dishes were the best of the whole menu. I am grading on afull 5-star scale and do so with an implicit price-value curve. I am aware that many others on social media may grade on a 3-point (4 being an average score) or 2-point scale (4 being a poor score), but the fact remains that Google gives us a 5-pointscale. To me, 4 stars is great, 3 stars is average and 5 stars should be rare - reserved for true excellence or near perfection. Read more
