Xeo Cantina

Calling it now this will be the spot for the rest of the summer. Such a cute ambiance, great location. Food was delicious & so were the drinks. Chris made an amazing skinny marg! Highly recommend the shrimp summer roll & crab spring rolls. Can’t wait to go back and try the rest of the menu!

Came here before a show at the Bowery Electric and WOW what an amazing choice! Inside of the restaurant has such a beautiful vibe. Love the colors and the decor. Staff is so friendly and accommodating. And the food - DELICIOUS!!!!!! I underestimated the size of the tacos I ordered, but I still ate all three. They were fantastic! If I'm in the area again I will definitely return. If you're seeing a show in this area - COME HERE!!!!

Lovely place, lovely service. Nothing bad to say. I absolutely enjoyed devouring the vegetarian pho. Probably my favorite pho ever. The portion for this pho was quite hefty so go with an appetite! My table also had Fried crab spring roll and Shrimp summer rolls. I loved the summer rolls and although the fried crab spring roll wasn’t for me my friend loved it. We also had the shrimp and catfish taco and both were delicious. The catfish was perfectly crisp. We left full and glad we went in early to avoid the dinner rush. For drinks we opted for the lavender dream and the spicy mai tai. The lavender dream was good but I prefered the spicy mai tai. Would definitely recommend a stop and definitely need to go back to try more drinks.

Venturing around this area of NYC in search of a bite & some libations, my friends & I were like Goldilocks trying porridge (minus the breaking & entering). First place was too posh & boring. Second place was too crowded & noisy. But Xèo... Xèo was jussssst right. 😁 This was the perfect spot for a Friday evening. The music was great & the volume level allowed for vibing & conversation. As a DJ, I'm so critical of these things, so trust that it was good. The decor & lighting were warm & cozy. The drinks were good & so was the food. Katie's service ensured my return. You're lucky if you get her to serve your table. I look forward to going back.

XEOXEO, Gossip Girl If you’re not already gossiping about @xeocantina you should be! They’re serving up the best fusion I’ve had in a long time and one of the most interesting combinations I’ve seen: Vietnamese and Mexican! Plus it’s such a cute spot with a full bar, disco ball, indoor and outdoor seating, and attentive staff. I tried: •Oaxaca Gold - a sweet and tart me a l pineapple mix •Shrimp Summer Roll - a Vietnamese classic with amazing peanut sauce •XEO Wings - fried to perfection with a spicy Mayo dip •Lemongrass Chicken Taco - with pickled carrots, bean sprouts, mint, cilantro, and a vinegary dip Thanks for having me!!

One of the worst dine-in experiences lately. Main part - vibe&service. We ordered food&drinks right away including one alcohol cocktail and one soft drink, and normally even if food takes longer you would expect to get drinks first. GOT MY COKE IN 40(!!!)MIN after reminding waitress several time and cancelling the cocktail order - by that time all the food came out. Still, the waitress was trying to include cocktail to the check later. Second part, FOOD. At this point, it’s a bit of personal preference, I saw other reviewers compliments the menu, but for me 4 of 5 dishes was uneatable. So called ‘tacos’ was too crispy and huuge for amount of stuffing inside. Ordered 4 different tacos, but they all tasted THE same - a bit of meat/fish/sausage ( literally a bit!) overpowered by chopped cabbage salad that they put in every one of them! No sauce, a bit of dipping oil on side - super disappointing. Grilled corn was ok, sandwich - sort of bahn mi with same cabbage from tacos. Maybe, if we tried pho ( mentioned in other good reviews) .. but came out of this place super annoyed and hungry(!!)

Amazing Short Rib Pho, it's a must try! You can definitely split the Pho and 1-2 tacos among two people for a very filling meal.

I had a amazing time at this restaurant. I usually don’t post critics but I thought this restaurant own my gratitude. I was in New York with my son and it will stay a good memory. Food was good, tacos were delicious for a very affordable price and the music was great for ambiance.
