Xolo Mexican Cuisine

North Liberty’s best kept secret that shouldn’t be anymore. My husband and I visited the restaurant for the first time on Valentine’s Day and we were promptly seated and greeted by our waiter Jerry. Our server was phenomenal. They had BOGO margaritas (some of the best I’ve had in town) and gave us a complimentary dessert. My husband had the choripollo and I had the California burrito. We absolutely loved both. $10-20 per person without drinks $20-30 per person with drinks😎 Looking forward to coming back 🤩

This place is very beautifully decorated but the food was meh. The chips and salsa were amazing but the entrees not so much. I had the Mahi Tacos and the Mahi was WAY over done. The outside was hard and charred in places and the inside was quite dry. The tacos were delicious once I took the Mahi out. My fiancé had the Carne Asada which was flavorless. It tasted like there was 0 seasoning he had to ask for salt. It only came with 3 tortillas which was not enough for the amount meat. The rice was delicious and the service was good. It was FREEZING in there.

This restaurant has the potential for all 5 stars with a little tweaking of how they operate so my notes will reflect on why I marked accordingly. I was a solo patron that joined a group for the evening. Service was phenomenal in the knowledge and personality areas. It did lack in the timing of everything. It was not busy (Wednesday night) and it took our food a while to get there. I don't know if anyone else noticed or maybe not since there was so many introductions and chatting. My chimis were a little soggy and not super hot so timing needs to be better. At the end of the meal it took a while to get the bill and then get payments and change made. (I paid with cash and had to ask for my change.) The restaurant looks great and very colorful. Music was a little loud but manageable except for some of our conversations across the U shaped booths. I was seated in the center so I could hear OK. I don't care for U shaped booths but that's a personal opinion. With large serving plates and the chips and salsa, water glasses, pitcher and ordered drinks it was cramped for 6 people. I ordered the chimi-special and chose the shredded chicken option. It is two smaller chimichangas smothered in queso sauce and salsa ranchera (I had mine on the side in case it was too spicy. ) It is served with large portion of guacamole, pico de gallo, lettuce and queso fresca, rice and beans. The salsa ranchero was not spicy at all, in fact it reminded me of tomato soup. The inside of the chimi was plain white shredded chicken with onions. A little dry on its own but better with all of the toppings and sides. (I added photos of other dishes had at the table.) Food portions were plentiful and so I had leftovers. I ordered a tres leches cake slice to go. I've never had one and so I had no idea what to expect. It was fantastic. My only suggestion is more strawberries to eat with it. I drove almost an hour to get there and I would gain with hopes that the food service timing is better and waitress more timely at the end. P.S. and heads up. The drinks with alcohol menus had no prices listed so if you order from there keep that in mind. I didn't so I don't know what the prices were.
