Rick LindemannJune 11, 2013Get here before 10 a.m. if you want to choose from the full breakfast menu.
- Pam P.April 22, 2015The guacamole is really interesting. It is topped with items one typically wouldn't expect.
Merly payneOctober 24, 2009Not even gonna lie: I'm obsessed and will not rest 'til I've had everything on the menu. I'm not a must-eat-at-hot-new-restaurant type, but it's all so delicious, and Bayless is one of the good guys.
Churros and Hot Chocolate for a decadent and divine dessert treat!!
Stephen TroutmanJuly 20, 2013You can buy a beer while you are waiting in line. Just go up to the cash register
Ahogada Wood Oven Torta @XoCo 'Spicy, add Avocado' is in a league w/ The Ralph @ Mother's in NOLA & Boulud's Burger

Joy HaysMay 19, 2012Go tortas and ask to sample all there sauces!!! Don't let the yellow habanero fool you. Freaking HOT!!!!
GourmetLiveAugust 15, 2011Try the $12 cochinita pibil torta bulging with wood–roasted suckling pig, achiote, and pickled onion.
RyanOctober 7, 2014Takeout ordering is at the front, so don't wait in a long line. That said, the waiting for your takeout could not be more uncomfortable since there is almost nowhere to stand.
Jessica ChungNovember 6, 2010waaahhh! salsa costs a buck a pop at this joint, so just bring your own unless you want to spend $20 on it. but the food is worth the wait, fo' sho.
Imagine if Subway made excellent mexican sandwiches and charged twice the price, you'd have Xoco, instead of the Jared diet, I'm going on the Rick Bayless diet
best chips and guac in the city, the Ahogada is the king of sandwichesz
Pepito is in my top three sandwiches of all time. Amazing!!
If they charged $30 for the Cubana I'd probably still buy it. It's that good.
Micki MaynardAugust 10, 2011There is beer and wine and outdoor seating. Perfect for a quick after work drink.
Bacon and Pecan French Toast cooked in a wood burning oven was outstanding.

The allure of Mexican street food is it’s rustic immediacy—seasonal agua frescas; made-to-order guacamole topped with locally sourced ingredients; tortas from the wood-burning oven; steaming caldos; hot-from-the-fryer churros and homemade hot chocolate.
