Xixa

“Came here on a weekend dinner and it was packed by 7:30, highly recommend to make a reservation. 10 courses for ~$60 and every dish is so flavorful and creative. Loved the first appetizer, chips and bloody orange guacamole, tostada was refreshing and delicious, the small bites with various seasonings and flavor. We got to try the softest ribs with handmade tortilla with some pumpkin sauce, bbq sauce and furikake. The desserts were banging! One star off since the dishes were on the oily side”

“We had an amazing dinner here! Saul was so kind and helpful with the menu. Everything we had was absolutely delicious! 10/10 we will definitely be coming back when we visit NYC!”

“Xixa deserves nothing less than five stars!! In the past, I have found that top quality Mexican food can be hard to come by in the city, but after dining at Xixa I can take back that statement. I have found THE spot. Not only was the flavor profile of each dish divine, but the service was great. Our waiter was attentive, and even brought us comped drinks! Two of my favorite items on the menu probably had to be the seasonal guac and the braised short ribs. I have never tasted meat so tender. It fell off the bone. Also, all of the sauces that came with it tied it all together. The entree came with house made blue corn tortillas to put all of the fixings in. Orgasmic! We also ordered drinks, and they were amazing! They have a deconstructed menu which is really fun! If you want to enjoy some incredible food and a romantic atmosphere then this is the place. 12/10!!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This place blew me away! It’s a Mexican restaurant, but the chef blends in Asian influences beautifully every dish feels layered and creative. I had the Chef’s Tasting Menu with eight courses plus two desserts, and everything was outstanding. Unlike most Mexican or South American dishes that lean sour, the flavors here were perfectly balanced not too tangy, not too salty, just right. The seafood and pork dishes were the highlights (if you don’t eat pork, definitely let the kitchen know in advance). The duck liver course completely stole the show melt-in-your-mouth smooth, richer and more refined than foie gras. The fried chicken wings were another surprise the skin was coated in corn flour, making them chewy and crisp at the same time, and the staff even brought a little bowl of water for cleaning my fingers. So thoughtful! The service was warm and attentive, and every plate looked like art. The desserts were stunning both visually and in taste tying the entire meal together beautifully. Honestly, this is the best Mexican restaurant I’ve ever tried, no exaggeration. Highly, highly recommend it!”

“The chef's tasting menu was of good value @$58/pp. The menu changes seasonally and some highlights this time included: bone marrow taco, mole beef taco. Their flan was some of the best I've had (almost like Panna cotta) Don't expect to be wow-ed but the reasonable price makes the experience with it. Just FYI they change 20% service fee directly on the bill so you don't need to to tips extra”
