Xiquita Restaurant and Bar - Denver, CO

Truly outstanding food in a gorgeous space. The service is top tier. You can even watch the tortillas being made! It’s hard to recommend just one dish, but the beef cheek sopes were one that I cannot stop thinking about. So rich and flavorful! Do yourself a favor and go grab dinner here (they also have a killer happy hour).

I visited Xiquita Restaurante y Bar yesterday and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious full of authentic Mexican flavors and clearly made with care and passion. Everything tasted fresh, bold, and true to its roots. The owner is incredibly hands on and it really shows. You can tell he takes pride in every detail, from the kitchen to the overall experience. He treated us so well and made us feel truly welcomed. The vibe is amazing from the tea lights to the plants.. everything it’s very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Also the staff was just as great. They are overall friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican food, amazing flavors, and genuine people. Xiquita’s is the rite place for you. We will definitely be back.

I’ve visited Xiquita a few times at this point and each time is delightful. The staff is welcoming and doesn’t bat an eye at my curiosities - happily answering any questions or explaining the history of a dish. Most recently we visited for a celebration, and we were spoiled with little, unexpected, tasty gifts; world class hospitality here. The food always comes out quick and often delivered by one of the chefs. Their ability to tell a story with each dish is inspiring, and the execution is outstanding. There is this perfect mix of familiarity, surprise, and the absolute perfect amount of spice that keeps me coming back. If you’re reading this, don’t hesitate. Go now, belly up to the bar, and they’ll take care of the rest.

Love coming to Xiquita. Their new mussels dish is absolutely fantastic with perfect amount of heat and acidity. Of course always love Hannah’s desserts. Sam and Savy are great as well. Shout out to Henry, chef Carlos and of course Ras. Thank you for a fantastic evening, again.
