    I chose Xiquita for my friend’s surprise 60th birthday knowing that she would love the food, and the ambiance. With the help of the incredible staff, shout out to our server Dylan who helped me pull this off, we had an amazing evening. We sampled dishes from the entire menu. Our favorites in particular were the ceviche, the huarache, the roasted carrots, the duck and the fish tacos, and the star of the evening the carne asada. I highly recommend Xiquita for any occasion, the whole crew is passionate about the food and the history of indigenous Mexican cuisine. A true gem.

    We have traveled through Italy extensively, and the food at Olivia matches or exceeds those. We had a great server, Greg, and the food was original and delicious. From the fresh focaccia to the cheesecake, the experience was incredible
