    This was our first visit to Xiquita, but certainly will not be our last. The food is thoughtfully prepared, beautiful to look at, and exquisite to eat. I will have dreams about the masa, I’m sure. Chef Erasamo came to our table and shared with us a history lesson on corn and his heritage. His passion and care for his dishes was palpable and inspiring. Our server, Dylan, was attentive, knowledgeable, and was a joy. We felt to trust him with the meal and the dishes that he brought to us were beyond delicious. Some challenged our palates, some excited our minds, and some comforted our souls. We left happy and fulfilled and already planning our return.

    Welcomed addition to City Park West and Denvers overall culinary scene, this place makes for a great upscale Thai option. I went for their three course menu during Denver Restaurant Week and every plate and cocktail seemed carefully thought out and plated. Everything tasted delicious and fresh, the staff was friendly too.
