Xochitl Restaurant Review

: If you're in the mood for Mexican food, try the tamales and other classic dishes at Xochitl (pronounced so-cheet). The margaritas and specialty tequila cocktails at this cozy establishment make a good argument for hanging about after dinner, too. (The bar stocks 75, 100 percent blue agave tequilas.) The revamped menu features traditional favorites like queso fundido and carnitas tacos, along with signature dishes like the pollo frito, chicken that's brined for 24 hours, dipped in a four-flour mixture, fried, and served with a sweet chile sauce, cornbread and chile cream spinach. Add in the kickin’ tableside guacamole and Xochitl stands out from the crowd.
