Xochitl Taqueria

We (my husband and I) found this place during COVID. It has been our weekly spot since. We bring our family here, and we have made friends (other weekly regulars) here. Randy & Harvey are Amazing! The guys along with the chefs make this place such a dining experience worth coming back to. The food and the service are always a 10! I'm too greedy to remember to post my food but no matter what u order, u will be happy I promise! Randy is good for food ideas and options and Harvey slays on the drinks but either way, they are ur guys! Enjoy!

I’ve been living in the neighborhood for 15+ years and have eaten all the Mexican food in the area and stumbled upon this place only very recently and I’m hooked, the food is great and prices are even better. I think the hard tacos are the best tacos you could ever have so crispy and tasty. I will be ordering from here from now on

Just happened to be passing by and thought I would give it a try. The people were very nice inside, very friendly. I had the Carnitas Taco .. delicious lots of flavor and to go along with that the Strawberry frozen Margarita... Excellent! I will definitely be returning!

Been coming here for years and never had and issue at all... until today. I ordered a shrim quesadilla, which is a large tortilla cut in three as pictured. I ate through an entire piece that only had one shrimp at the back it. So basically at a cheese quesadilla. I called in an spoke to the manager Harvey(if that's his real name because he was super reluctant to give it to me) who said it only comes with 5 shrimp. I'm like are you joking? I've ordered this before and it's never been like this. And that means one piece of the three squares will have one shrimp. He got super rude and hung up on me. Last time I'm dealing with this place. Shrimp are cheap as hell and this is how you do you meals? This is a piece with the one piece of shrimp... tiny at that. Disgraceful

The drinks are strong (and it was happy hour!); food is yummy, service is the best, and basketball was on at the bar (yes!) I had a margarita with the Diablo shrimp quesadilla — it was SPICY and good, but you can get a non-spicy version. Their tacos are also cheap.

I love that there’s a legitimate Taco place near where I live. I walked by a thousand times before I thought to go in and it didn’t disappoint. Their happy hour is like $5 per drink but outside of that - the drinks are around only $6 anyway. Their Mexican Rice is super authentic and literally every taco I’ve had is super delicious. One star is deducted because they’re still figuring out how to be attentive, my drinks take a little too long to arrive, and they don’t take Amex Gift Cards.

Great local spot for lunch or drinks and dinner. I stay getting the Franklyn burrito or the supreme quesadilla. Their house margarita is cheap, tasty and effective 😎🌯🇲🇽🍸 I just got to eat here again for the first time since the start of quarantine. So happy to see you all made it through and that the margaritas are still kickin'!

Ordered take out from here a few weeks ago. I got ground beef tacos which were good but my only complaint was there was a lot of oil in the container. Not sure if this was due to it being take out. Otherwise, it tasted good and the tacos were crispy. The other dish we ordered was not oily so maybe it was from the beef. The fries were also pretty good.

Let me just say that I've had Xochitl's number in my phone for years because we've ordered it so many times! The restaurant is always lovely, with lots of fun tiling and decorations to look at. Service is efficient and courteous, although they are usually pretty busy! My go-to order is either the avocado tostadas or pescado taco combo depending on my mood, and both are delicious. My partner goes for the chicken mole burrito or tofu burrito, and they also never miss. Overall we really like it here and will go back whenever we're in the area.

I come here quite a few times for happy hour. It's a quaint little spot on Fulton. Maybe 6 stools at the bar located to the left Seating to the right, a mix of five or six 4 tops, open kitchen in the back. The service is excellent. If they are familiar with you it's a mix of banter, sarcasm and jokes. The margaritas are strong and delicious. All the flavors taste authentic and they squeeze real limes for the lime juice. As you should! My favorite flavors are the tamarind and the coconut. But I've tried them all and you can't go wrong whichever you choose. For happy hour they are $8 and that's a total deal for what you get. My favorite thing is the shrimp. They serve it in portions of 5 or 7. They are grilled and delicious. They have a natural sweetness to them, paired with that real grill flavor, delicious. $2 a piece can't be beat. The quesadillas are good too and they automatically come with guacamole, pico de gallo, sour cream and lettuce. The tacos are solid but I have had better. You can skip the calamari. It's tender but it's more peppers the squid and it wasn't really that good. They have a ton of items. Their prices are very reasonable.

Our dinner group left completely satisfied with our choice. I found the staff both friendly and helpful in clean surroundings. Though perfectly arranged, the dishes were overly salty. We experienced good service and the employee paid attention to our needs. Thank you. Everything was satisfying.

Stopped in after my cycling class with a few of the ladies there and this spot hit. Just what was needed after a good workout ! Food: 5/5 tasty, flavorful, great portion size and fulfilling Service : Nice, the waiter was friendly gave good recommend for drinks. The drinks were strong and very good. Paired nicely with the burrito Ambiance : nice spacious , well ventilated , music was chill and I believe they have a tv and bar area to sit which I liked.

I walked in and got greeted by the guy behind the bar asking me in an irritated tone "can you shut the door ?" No hello. Made me feel like I was doing him a disservice by mistakenly wanting to eat there.

The best places, are the surprise ones! When you're randomly outside and pick a place that BLOWS your MIND!!! Location has street parking available. Cool food options and the service was enjoyable. Nice place for a date, family and friends! Enjoy

Came here for a quick bite to eat with some friends. I got an order of the San Julio tacos with grilled chicken. Might have been my own fault since I went with grilled chicken but it was a little dry. I did like the fact that the crunchy taco was fresh and homemade. I also got an order of the San Jose taco combo to go and it was pretty much the same flavor wise. Serviceable, reasonably priced mexicana food.

This is my go to order spot for delivery and take out. On my most recent order I got the chicken fajitas, chicken tacos, ground beef San Jose tacos and the rosarito surf and turf. I've also ordered the mole enchiladas, shrimp tacos and chips and guacamole. The food typically comes within 40-50 minutes and is always packed well and piping hot. They typically provide pico, guacamole and hot sauce containers. The San Jose tacos are hard and sone the traditional way where the tortilla is fried in oil and curved to fit the fillings. It's my favorite type of hard shell. The meat was a little over salted for me but the flavors were great. The surf and turf comes with shrimp and steak and I ordered corn tortillas to make additional tacos. The shrimp and steak were delicious. I also like that they cooked the steak medium well so it would dry out if I reheated it. The fajitas had a solid amount of juice and a ton of stir fried veggies. The seasoning was perfect, and the rice and beans complimented both dishes really well. Definitely recommend for lunch or dinner.

Second time ordering for pick up-- got the same thing twice in one week it was so good! The shrimp and steak burrito I believe it's called the "rosita." Perfect distribution of everything through the burrito. None of that eat all your meat or guacamole in the first or last bite. You get some of everything in every bite. My food is always on time when I arrive, always just coming out and being packaged so always fresh and hot! Will return for a third try!

We come here once a month. The food is consistently good, we love the staff and the happy drinks always hit. This is my family's version of Cheers

The food wasn't anything to ride home about, drinks were pretty good and a good happy hour price. My only qualm with this place was the customer service is a solid 1 star. My friend and I sat to have a drink and a meal and not even 2 minutes after we've been sat our server demands our drink order. We tell him just another minute since we've literally just sat. People don't like being rushed to order and even though there were maybe 1 or 2 other customers in the restaurant it seemed like they just wanted us to order, eat, leave at a fast food service pace. Both of the servers running the place had airpods in 1 ear so they couldn't really understand us when we were putting in food orders so we had to repeat ourselves They kept coming by to see if we wanted more drinks to order but not once asked about how the food was (they didn't care, they are probably listening to a goddamn podcast) Ya so hire better help and maybe this place can be the next spot for 2024

I wish I would've ordered more food, the empanadas were good with the sauce. I just wish there were more filling inside, the fresh Jamaica was good also.I'll def give this restaurant another try.

I can eat Mexican food, anytime, any day. But I also get "stuck" eating from the same spots, which I shouldn't do, because New York has so much to offer! I read the reviews and checked this place out. I ordered enough for three people, as always. The fish taco was good; it's fried and has two corn tortillas, yet still manages to be moist and is bursting with flavor. I came for the burrito though, and was not disappointed. The chicken Franklyn burrito was flavorful, filling, and a decent size - as all burritos should be. Delivery does take 40-50 minutes, but they tell you that when you're ordering so I wasn't surprised. Finally, because my past self always looks out for my future self, I got a side of chips and guacamole, which for the price, was pretty big (and tasty)! I'll be diving into those today as I try to push the Sunday blues away.

The food was okay as far as flavor and seasoning however this is the second time I tried this spot and the beans and rice never come out hot I don't understand it. How do you not serve hot beans and rice with meal? I ordered two tacos rice and beans and as you see I had a drink. The charge was way overpriced. So I've given this restaurant my money twice I will not be back again. I do not recommend eating at a restaurant where the food should be served at a temperature that is considered hot and you get the food and it's lukewarm. But to each his own.

This is a solid neighborhood spot where you can find delicious food, excellent service and chill, unpretentious vibes. I loved the shrimp tacos and the guacamole and chips! I thought the margarita left something to be desired- more of a margarita mix, large drink, whereas I may prefer less mixer and a shorter glass. No doubt the staff would accommodate this request on a future visit.

Had a long day and ordered from here on UberEats. These tacos were so fucking good I think they just changed my life. I am not the same woman I was before I ate these.

Amazing food and friendly staff! Nachos are always my go to and I always ask the bartender for their suggestion and i receive the most amazing drinks. Definitely my go to for authentic mexican food.

I got their grand burrito- flour tortilla with pico de Gallo, cheese, guacamole sautéed mushroom spinach, Mexican rice and beans. The flavors were amazing and definitely felt like comfort food. Delivery is quick too!

Great bartenders & lunch specials. Food is fresh and made on the spot! Jonathan comes to keyfood daily. Bar is always stocked with fresh fruit and veggies. I live the steak fajitas. Happy hour is great. Most lunch specials are served with rice and beans. They ha e 2 tvs to watch the game.

This Xochitl Special is Off the Hook Burrito was disgusting the meat was old and hard definitely not carne asada like someone's grandma made pot roast 10 days ago and they used it for a burrito I gave it to my dog. These other reviews must be from people that never had a good Mexican burrito this was the worst burrito I had in my life !!

This is our go-to for delivery even though there are closer and faster places. My 9 year old loves the chicken tacos and we like the burritos and nachos. And now you can get a lovely blue margarita delivered to your home, share one or get one each if you're feeling sassy.

Rosita Burrito steak and shrimp seasoned so well . This is my go-to in this corner of Clinton Hill BedStuy. A chill place to dine in with delicious margaritas or sangria, as well as very flavorful Mexican. I tend to get fish or shrimp here, but I haven't disappointed in a menu item yet. RecommMiramar burrito or pescado and camarón tacos to sit down The bartender and staff are happy to chat with you or leave you to your food and table conversation, and I'm glad to have such a consistent after-work spot right by my apartment.

My first time here and it most definitely wont be my last. Browsing the neighborhood for a quick bit and I got lucky . I popped in here and no regrets. Ordered their shrimp taco combo with a side of rice - and it was on point! Served with a GREAT margarita (one of their house specialties) made by my bartender of the night Jonathan - great service with a matching personality! Will be returning ! Thank you

I really like this place! Super close to my apartment, yummy, flavorful food, good, strong drinks, and a fun atmosphere. I find that $18 for a to go frozen margarita is a bit expensive, but they are super strong and delicious, and a good size for the price. I will definitely continue going here for drinks/food and ordering in.

I really wanted to like this spot as it's close to a friend's place and seemed authentic. However, between the poor service, just ok food and abysmal drinks it is a flat NO from me. It was a cold, windy, rainy day when my friend and I went so it was slow and chill therefore I expected a good experience. To start, it was freezing inside, our waitress was disinterested and when I asked a question she seemed bothered. We each ordered taco combos and the house margarita. The margaritas were hands down the worst either of us have ever had. They were a lagoon color that we couldn't figure out where it originated from and every sip was worse than the previous one. The tacos were ok but overall bland in flavor. At some Point our waitress stopped coming over and the bartender/host was the one tending to our table always muttering something we couldn't make out. It was clear we had not taken more than 3 sips from our drinks and he just asked if we wanted them to go, at which point we said no and the next logical question should've been to ask if something was wrong/how it could be fixed but he just went on his way and brought us our check. Granted pricing wasn't bad but still there wasn't anything positive about this visit. I recommend avoiding.

Absolutely the worst place. I ordered food here from Uber eats. They refused to make my food and still charged me $30 for food I NEVER RECEIVED. A complete and total rip off, and completely illegal practices.

Small spot with good happy hour deals and delivery. I liked their enchiladas and they have fun cocktails during the evening. Not dim lighting so more of a fun casual vibe

The best burrito I've ever had in NYC. I don't know how good anything else is here but the the Xochitl Burrito is bomb.com. I've already made plans to come back to have it again. Let's review. I was in the neighborhood and my son and I wanted Mexican food so of course I yelped and this had some controversial reviews but to be honest the guy who said a burrito was "life changing" sealed the decision for me. The place itself is cute. There was only one other table occupied with about 10-15 people. Looking over the menu there was several things I wanted to try but saw a burrito in the yelp reviews that I asked the server about and he said it's their most popular burrito. The Xochitl burrito. It has steak, pork, pico de gallo, beans, cheese and some other sauce that was like a hot salsa. The flavor of this burrito is mouthwatering. The pork is slow cooked so it's super tender and they don't skimp on meat. I'm a sauce person, sauce makes me happy and this burrito was saucy and delicious. My son had crispy tacos (one chicken and one ground beef) and he gobbled them down which means he like them. The tacos are a little bigger than what you normally see and they are stuffed full. They also fry their own shells which is a plus. We also had horchata and French fries. Both were good. The gentleman that served us wasn't immediately warm but I can be annoyingly bubbly when people are that way and they usually warm up as he did. This place was a pleasant surprise.

I just ordered nachos (ground beef) for Cinco de Mayo, and they were EVERYTHING I needed! Forgive me if this sounds dramatic, but given this pandemic the bad meals I order are especially tragic. However, this food came hot, ready and really hit all of the flavor notes I was hoping for. I'm only disappointed that I didn't learn about this place sooner! These nachos gave me back hope in humanity. I also got shrimp fajitas for dinner but haven't tried it yet. This is about to be my go to spot for Mexican going forward, BRAVO!

Delicious. Nice bar and restaurant. Had a burrito and watched the game. Some type of pork and steak burrito. Was huge! Great hang out or date spot.

Great spot food amazing service even better Drinks of the hook.......just tell em Rah from the post office sent ya

I ordered 2 Barbacoa soft tacos that where really fresh. The new spicy guava margarita was on point as well. Staff as always cool. I like how during carona, they make guest wait outside for orders!!! See you soon!

I am not normally one to write a review but I will make an exception for like a stand out place like Xochitl. I am lucky enough to live on the block and we order from them at least once a week. So thankful to have a place with such authentic amazing Mexican cuisine that's so close by. I never knew I liked mole sauce until I had their mole enchiladas. Their burritos are a standard go-to, miles beyond your standard Chipotle burrito. You will not be disappointed. Please tip well.

I usually get delivery from here via Uber eats. Prior to yesterday I've had pretty good experiences. Yesterday I ordered a burrito and the description mentioned nothing about it being covered in sauce and cheese externally. When it arrived I thought I received the wrong item. I called the restaurant and all I got was some lame excuse about they'll try and update the description on Ubereats. So you can call an apple an orange and when I order it you're just going to shake it off when I complain?? It's just disappointing. I regret not ordering from the original place I was going to. The burrito that was actually a chimichanga looked gross and I just ate the rice and shrimp from inside. This was a complete waste of money and ruined my dinner. Taking my business elsewhere.

I had the shrimp burrito. It lacked flavor tremendously; all I got was heat and cheese. The shrimp seemed to be seasoned okay. But then two hours later my stomach was in knots, and now as I type this my husband is still dealing with stomach pain and diarrhea. I guess the food just didn't agree with us? Either way I wouldn't chance it by trying this place a second time. As far as the restaurant there was no a/c and the wait was very, very long! At least 30 mins, maybe longer.

The quality of the tacos recently became much worse. They used to be quite flavorful but now they lack flavor and don't feel representative of what one would expect from an authentic taqueria. The chicken tastes baked without spices or marination, as did the carne asada. Given that there was only onions and cilantro on the tacos, this is a shame as it used to be so good. One thing that consistently delivers are their Guac and chips. They make the chips themselves and it shows. They are awesome when they are hot! I wish the taco quality would return. They were so good, but now they are only meh.

From the moment I walked in I felt good the waitress was very welcoming and friendly. Not to mention the food was delicious. I would recommend this place.

The food here is excellent and reasonable priced. My favorite things to get from here are the Franklyn Burrito and the Surf-n-Turf. Everything is well seasoned and is made fast.

Great food! Highly recommend, I ordered both takeout and delivery from them. Great veggie options, too.

We've lived around the corner from Xochitl for years and we love supporting them! The staff are always nice. The food is good and consistent, reasonably priced. I want to give them a special shout out for their outstanding dedication over the course of this pandemic! They never totally closed and they weathered the storm. So glad you guys are still around. My daughters like the San Francisco burrito, Super Nachos, my husband likes the shrimp or the fish tacos, I like the chicken fajitas. The watermelon water is good too!

I just moved here from California so I am very picky when it comes to my Mexican food. This is the best I have had yet. The refried beans were authentic and how they are supposed to be! I ordered crunchy chicken tacos which were great portion size and delicious. I also asked for a side of mild salsa which I could tell they made fresh! It was awesome. I honestly had trouble picking what to order because everything on the menu sounded so good. The service was very print and friendly and the food came very quickly! I was in and out as quick as I wanted to be! I will definitely be going back and trying more of the menu! Only sad and not authentic part was no free chips and salsa...not in California anymore!

The food is SO good and cheap!! $10 for two huge fish tacos with rice and beans. The margs are a bit too sweet (they add curaçao so they're blue), but for $5, they're great! Go for the food, not the ambience. It's a no frills Mexican spot--and at a great price! The service is awesome. Such a great find, would def recommend this place.

Had a REALLY dry and flavorless steak burrito. The steak tasted old, and there wasn't enough guac/salsa. The bad taste of the steak was too much for me. Pretty much a waste of money. My partner ordered shrimp fajitas, it did not come with guac or salsa.. We are locals and we love supporting local businesses so we really wanted to like this place but our meal was so bad we threw most of it away.

Avoid at all costs. Almost died of food poisoning. Knew I should've avoided this place when the delivery time went from 39 mins to 96. Food came and was less than room temp. Ate it anyway & within hours we all became violently ill. 3 of us ended up in the hospital. Vomiting, diarrhea, severe cramps, nausea, swears etc. best part - the ER nurse said several ppl in the area have been admitted to the hospital with food poisoning from this place. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. AVOID.

7-day-work-week, 6 weeks running means nachos whenever I need them, guys. Don't judge please ok? Super Nachos come with a dizzying array of meat add-ons. I generally go veg but when I need extra mojo, chorizo FTW. I also order a tamale, to make the $10.00 buck delivery minimum but actually guys it's an lifestyle maximum: chicken verde tamale. Do it. Ask for a couple of homemade hot sauces. And perhaps you'll have the fortune to work with Vanessa who is efficient, super nice and should be our president. Oh. Wait. That would mean we're ok with female leaders. Hahaha :| Anyway: delicious food, super fast delivery and extra nice people. Take what you can get. It's gonna be a long 3 years and several mf days.

Came here to escape the cold and needed a cheap place for dinner. I generally find that cheap food in BK is solid. This place was an exception. The setting seemed casual and laid back with a bit of Spanish music playing in the background with football games playing on two screens. I sat at the bar to get to know the bartender and the place a bit more. Not a good time. The bartender was kind of rude, took an enormously long time to find chips and salsa and for most of the time I was there- scrolling through his phone... away from the bar? Like what are you doing back there bro? And he gave us attitude. The food was subpar. I got three different soft shell tacos. The tortilla was flavorless and the meats not much better. I won't be coming back. Chilo's is much better in every way.

Best fish burrito ever! I'm typically a taco eater, but I read some of the other reviews about this spot's burritos and decided to give it a go. Totally worth it! I also ordered chips and guac. Pretty decent.

I love this place. You can't beat 3 tacos for $6.50 and a $5 marg at happy hour. Their staff is always super friendly, but the service can sometimes be a little slow.

THE FOOD HERE IS GOOD! SCRATCH THAT...IT'S GREAT! I see a lot of the bad reviews stem from delivery and ummm I can't relate. I came here to eat on the cliché "Taco Tuesday" on Election day and it was very, VERY rowdy. What amazed me is thru all of that the service wasn't tainted at all. I mean it was hectic in this place and our waitress did take a little while to bring over the menu, but she made sure she didn't waste a second after that. I ordered the calamari and a fish taco and bae had two shrimp tacos. He loved them and I'll trust his judgment. My fish taco was good as well, came out piping hot, well seasoned, and fast...STILL...with all the people there our food came quickly. The calamari gives me salt and pepper type flavor vibes (has jalapenos and onions) and was perfectly battered and fried. Not sure of the sauce that came with it, some type of mayo but it was the perfect condiment. No let me say it again...this is some BOMB ASS CALAMARI!!! Damn, I want more! Mad I didn't take pics but I'll be back. The drinks aren't as strong as I'd prefer them but you do get what you pay for. Shoutouts to the owner for being very engaged with the patrons and not kicking us out after 11 because we were so into the presidential candidates. This place is a chill good time but damn that food really makes it SO.MUCH.BETTER!
