Xico

Visited for the first time and had a great experience. I accidentally requested a high-top table when making the reservation, but the team was able to accommodate us at a regular table without any issue, which I really appreciated. Our server was very attentive and took great care of us throughout the meal. The food was incredible—10 out of 10. The only thing that didn’t quite match the rest of the experience was the dessert, which I would rate around a 6 out of 10. The atmosphere was very pleasant, and the restaurant was extremely clean, including the bathrooms. Overall, a wonderful experience and a place I highly recommend.

It was truly a pleasure dining at this restaurant, the atmosphere, the music, and the energy of the place are absolutely magical! We ordered the aguachile and al pastor margaritas, and both were delicious. We started with the guacamole, which was really good! Then we had the Caesar salad, which is a total must the table side preparation is enchanting, and the flavor is unique. The “Vuelve a la Vida,” a Veracruz-style seafood cocktail, was also amazing, such a great mix of flavors. The esquites were very tasty as well. I can’t wait to come back and keep trying all the incredible options of their menu!🙌🏼 Welcome to AVL Xico!❤️

Chef Scott and his team have created something special here. Honestly. The food has the Mexican heart and soul, capturing flavors and textures that excite, and it’s elevated in its presentation and feel. I’ve spent a lot of time in Oaxaca, and tasted some incredible Mole, and the duck with Mole negro is a win. The fresh seafood was stellar, and don’t miss the Huitlacoche quesadilla. Unique to Mexico and hard to find here in the states. The guacamole was fresh and spiced just enough. The two surprises for me were the steak and the duck sope. The former with melted cheese and blue corn and the latter just fantastic in the combination of duck, cheese, pickled onions and beans, all the flavors of the region done well. Will the price points feel like a lot to some? Perhaps, but people who co

Xico is a 10/10 experience. The space is stunning, the energy is amazing, and the food is next-level. Fresh-pressed masa tortillas, wood fired steaks, bold flavors, every bite was incredible. The cocktails and mezcal selection were unreal, and the service was genuinely some of the best I’ve had in Asheville. Don’t skip out on the Tuna Tostada, Caesar Salad, fresh chips and homemade salsas and guacamole. I especially loved the mushroom quesadilla. Chef Scott brought his amazing flavors from Miami to Asheville and I can’t wait to watch this city fall in love with him and his dishes here. If you’re looking for a spot that feels special but still relaxed and fun, go here! Already can’t wait to go back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had a wonderful meal at this new spot in Asheville. Amazing ambiance and decor. Really made me feel like I was at a fancy restaurant in Mexico. Our server Rachel was great as well. Overheard someone saying they were short staff but we couldn't tell. Lucky to have this amazing new spot in Asheville. Gotta get the table side Ceaser next time. It looked amazing
