    Our drinks and food came out sooner than expected. It was all delicious. Our server was professional and attentive. I felt like our table was in the way of restroom traffic but overall we enjoyed our dinner.

    Seating on Valentine’s Day was a bit crowded, music is way too loud and the server was not very helpful. Good food though.

    The food was exceptional, but the service was really terrible. From the hosts, to the bartenders, to the waitstaff, everyone was less than helpful, slow, and impersonal.

    Had a lot of small plates. Especially lived the masa cakes with pulpo. Tasty cocktails, fun and hopping atmosphere. One of my favorite spots.

    I celebrated my birthday at Xalisko's -The Woodlands with my family and everyone loved the food. My family is from Monterrey Mexico and they were impressed with the food. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. Dishes we recommend are the chicken flautas, tacos al pastor, shrimp tacos, and grilled skirt steak. All delicious.
