   We had an excellent meal, very authentic Mexican food. Our waiter was very helpful in describing the menu and every dish was delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.

   I’m gonna be honest, we had really high hopes because of our experience at their other concepts but this meal missed the mark on several notes. First they sent out house-made tortillas with butter. It was extremely dry and bland. Don’t think just because there’s a rocher of butter that it’s an impressive dish, because it’s not. They should serve those with a salsa or mole, if they’re gonna do that. not butter. We ordered bone marrow and ceviche. The bone marrow came out with 2 bones but one of them was COMPLETELY bare and dry and was smothered in mushrooms as if to hide the fact that there was absolutely not a single bite of marrow on that bone. The other bone only had one tiny scoop of marrow on it, so only one of us got to actually eat marrow for $30! Also the presentation of putting the bones on top of corn kernels seems wasteful since you can’t eat dry corn kernels. The ceviche was nice, presentation beautiful, way too spicy for the regular Chad though. We enjoy heat so it was good for us. Service was just ok. Pretty inattentive, i had a cocktail and our server never checked in to see how our food was or if we needed a refill. So we finished and sat there for 10 mins before she came by and at that point, she also didn’t ask how we enjoyed it because otherwise i would have told her the bone marrow was a scam of a dish. We won’t be back here for a while because it seems very undialed, which is too bad. The other concepts are awesome. This one needs a lot of work. Side note: one of the plates came out with a huge chip missing out of the rim. The cooks should know not to plate a dish on a broken plate…

   Had a wonderful dinner at Xiquita this week. Everything was fresh and flavorful and very creative. Especially enjoyed the ceviche and the carrots. Shout out to Kyle for wonderful service. And, how about these desserts!

   The service was attentive without being looming and the food was very good. We had an early reservation so the background noise level did not interfere with conversation. We will be back to try more of the tasty offerings!

    📍 Authentic ancestral Mexican 🌵 XIQUITA in uptown, Denver, CO Great value happy hour 4-6, the chef Ras was super personable and guided us through some of the dishes his mom taught him while growing up. Keep your roots grounded and use what the earth provides The ceviche has a nice coconut milk base, hearty pieces of fish, and a tortilla chip with a great CRUNCH The Al pastor taco was meaty and paired well with pineapple 🍍 Our favorite sauce was the rosemary and garlic sauce served with the carne asada steak Finished with a corn cake with the best white chocolate blue corn ice cream Try the mezcal cocktails too - very well balanced! Liz was a server - she did amazing! And the MoD was Alexander - also runs their bar program for all of their restaurants
