Great Barrington Restaurant Guide

I wish I had more thumbs to give "thumbs up!" to Xhico's! Sometimes I just can't go another day without the Pollo Poblano, and the Bella Margarita...ummm! Really fresh food, obviously prepared with care to details. As a chef myself, I can taste that the food is prepared with attention to detail from the first steps all the way to the table. Xhico's is a favorite for our family/1 (Ask for smiling-faced Andreas to wait on your table : ))

The food, service, and margaritas are superb! Xicohtencatl is located in a lovely Victorian house, decorated with an authentically Mexican color palate. Seating is available on a lovely verenda, which is the perfect place to sit on a nice day/evening and sip the best margaritas I've ever tasted, made with fresh lemons & limes. Best margarita: The "El Diablo" is served with chili infused tequila. The food is not your average Mexican fare, but is a delicious cuisine served with fresh ingredients and are more healthy, with less fat than the typical taco & burrito spot. Their guacamole is to die for as is their sopa de tortilla (chicken tortilla soup). Their entrees provide a balanced selection of beef, port, chicken, fish and an excellent vegetarian selection. Entrees are topped with and delicious sauces and are well worth the trip to this wonderful family-owned, one-of-a-kind restaurant. Since I am on a diet, I did not try their desserts, but the flan looked perfect.
