Xochi

Restaurant · Downtown

"Houston’s Mexican food scene would not be complete without James Beard Award-winning chef Hugo Ortega, who has explored the cuisine repeatedly with his restaurants Hugo’s, Caracol, and Urbe. At Xochi, Ortega focuses in on the Oaxaca region, with menu highlights like the mole flight, memelas served with roasted pork rib and tomatillo-avocado sauce, and plenty of cocktails fueled by agave-based spirits." - Brittany Britto Garley
