"One of the oldest Latino and Indigenous arts organizations with a gallery and gift shop."
"A free, unstuffy gallery on the west end of Roosevelt Street showcasing contemporary work by mostly local Latino and Indigenous artists in an old, high-ceilinged space; it’s usually uncrowded, offers artist meet-and-greets, and hosts classes in practices like lithography and printmaking." - ByChris Malloy
"Since 1975, Xico has elevated Latinx and Indigenous artists, who are the backbone of Phoenix’s art and culture scene. The gallery relocated to a handsome century-old brick building with original walls and a high exposed industrial ceiling in 2020. Pieces displayed in the humble, intimate space span local, national, and international. It's also practically on Roosevelt Row, downtown Phoenix’s bustling enclave of new bars and eateries. And if you get thirsty, Xico Gallery abuts Barcoa , a watering hole that pours a dizzying range of tequilas, mezcals, and other Mexican spirits." - Chris Malloy
"I consider Xico on SE Division a neighborhood favorite since 2012, known for its Pacific Northwestern takes on Mexican food and having earned a spot on the Oregonian’s “40 best restaurants” list; the restaurant also made news when its chef, Kelly Myers, suffered a massive stroke last year and received fundraising and support from many local chefs and restaurants." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"Contributor Joy Church is partial to the version at Xico, which is made with chorizo and salsa verde." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
