   Food was only OK. Too loud and too sunny(they need shades on their west windows). It was a birthday celebration but they did nothing.

   We had friends visiting from SoCal. We had to measure up Fenton’s best tacos. They were stoked! They loved everything about it. The margaritas, the nachos, the tacos… so delicious!

   We had a great time. We were there with extended family. Lauren was delightful and attentive. The draft margaritas are delicious and the happy hour is a great value. Guac & salsa verde are delicious. There isn’t anything I’ve tried that I haven’t enjoyed.

    Food was great, they have a wide range to choose from and having tasted most of it you won't go wrong with anything you order. Our server was very good and super friendly. The noise level inside they describe as energetic but I would say ear damaging and conversation killing, it is too bad because this is such a great place.

    We booked a reservation for Sunday at 4:15. The reservation was confirmed. When we arrived the restaurant was closed. The hours on the door stated it was supposed to be open. We were excited to try this new restaurant but walked away very disappointed.

    Worth a try but not what we were hoping for. Awesome ambiance...great wallpaper, music and decor. Hostess was very polite and knowledgeable. Bartender was nice and attentive. Server at the table was very slow. Forgot about us admittedly. Pescado taco has zero seasoning. Korean bulgogi was the best I had...still a little dry. Shrimp taco also lacked seasoning. Probably won't go back but....may be worth a walk by...oh I need a taco fix.

    Food was ok; was expecting great things. The restaurant is very cute, but hard to carry on conversation because it's loud. Neither of those would keep us from coming back, but the service will. Had to flag down waitress to order drinks. Brought one drink that sounded similar to the one ordered but was incorrect. Just dealt with it- she seemed bothered to serve us. At a table of four, she couldn't figure out how to split the bill by couple. Brought to us, asked if it was right. We said no and she just kind of laughed. Didn't offer to go back and make it right. We just wanted out at that point and split it ourselves later.

    Loved the atmosphere! It was a bit loud and it’s a small place, the food was great but the tortilla chips were way too salty, like uncomfortably salty. I love a good crunch to my chips and taco shells but they were toooo deep fried and became too much to eat when I got my tacos. We split the margarita tower between five people and it was the best decision to make for a large party! I’d definitely go again but forgo the chips and get a rice bowl or something not deep fried.

    My family, my sisters family, and my dad all went out to get some food together. We chose Zalo because my father had never been there. We had a great experience! He loved it. The margaritas were delicious, the tacos were yummy, even the chips and guacamole were great! Everything was perfect. We’ll be back!

    Another good meal at Xolo. Drinks and service were both quality. Make sure to get a reservation on weekends. Can be noisy, some may call it energetic, depending on your perspective. We will be back for sure.

    Chips were inedible, which was disappointing since the guacamole was really good. Too noisy for conversation. Salad would have been amazing if it weren’t drowning in dressing. Sangria was quite good. Service beyond slow.

    The food was amazing. The guacamole was fresh made and perfectly seasoned. Chips were homemade and authentic. We each had specialty margaritas which were great. We had both pork and beef Korean tacos. Again Awesome. We also enjoyed a couple of Al Pastor style as well. Our server was above excellent!! All round a great experience. The only thing we didn’t like is the noise level. So loud. It was difficult to hold a conversation or hear the wait staff. BUT we will be back for the food again soon.

    My first time at this restaurant. I made reservations and was excited to try the tacos and cocktails. XOLO looks and feels like a NYC restaurant, the noise volume very similar. It was full. That alone told me the food must be great but I was wrong. My friend and I ordered 4 different tacos. The meat in the Korean Bulgoki had no seasoning whatsoever. The others were just OK, but nothing we would order again. Perhaps the bowls or other choices are good, but the tacos were lacking. The house Margarita was also just OK which was disappointing. I would like to try XOLO again, ordering a different cocktail and meal choice, because the restaurant vibe is awesome. So therefore I will recommend to a friend, just hoping the other food choices are better, if not outstanding.

    The best part of the experience was that the reservation offered us an immediate seat with zero wait time. Awesome! Service was nothing to complain about. Our waitress and server where great. Had to ask for napkins and eating utensils. Not a big deal, but just wasn’t a 5-star effort. The food was mediocre at best. I love tacos in general. I did not love these tacos. Three of our table’s 4 tacos fell apart midway through eating them. The 4th fell apart immediately upon trying to pick it up. Tacos are finger food. Gotta figure out how to make them more robust. The combinations and flavors were great, despite the poor packaging. Finally, the menu is generally over-priced. The tacos are about 4-bites in size and go for $4-$6 each. Also, I really wanted to try one or more good tequila shots but not at the prices they offered. As far as I can guess, they’re trying to pay for each bottle with the sale of ~2-3 shots. I like the idea of a specialty taco & tequila restaurant, I just think Xolo needs some changes to be sustainable long term.
