" Prepare yourself for bold flavors at Xalos! After hearing so much about this place, I finally visited and tried their carnitas torta. While the sandwich was flavorful and packed with protein, the bread choice was a little different than I'm used to—served on ciabatta instead of the traditional bolillo. It worked out well, though! Just remember to ask for salsas on the side if you prefer, as they can sometimes be overwhelming. Overall, it was a delightful experience with lots of tasty options! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally made it to Xalos after seeing my friends rave about it! I ordered the carnitas, and they were unbelievably good. It's nice to see a place so dedicated to authentic recipes. The complementing salsas elevated my dish even more; I enjoyed every bite. The atmosphere was inviting, but I could feel staff were slightly overwhelmed by the dinner crowd. Will be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing all the buzz, I finally had a chance to visit Xalos. I ordered the birria plate, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The meat was tender and juicy, and the side of consume was the cherry on top. The staff were friendly, and the service was superb. I also appreciated the cleanliness of the whole place. I can't wait to go back and try their other items—definitely a new favorite! " (*Curated Review*)

" Xalos is where you go for honest-to-goodness Mexican food. I had a delightful meal with the burrito and horchata, both of which satisfied my cravings. The ambiance was vibrant yet cozy. However, I found my server could have been more engaged; there were times I had to wave them down. Still, the food quality spoke for itself, and I'll certainly return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely love this place! Every time I get the quesabirria tacos, I am reminded why I keep coming back. The flavors are exquisite, honestly some of the best I've had in Alaska. The staff is attentive, and the environment is vibrant and full of life. My only recommendation would be to offer more seating options as the place gets crowded quickly. Otherwise, eat here—you’ll thank me later! " (*Curated Review*)

" During a recent visit to Xalos, I was delighted by the vibrant atmosphere and the friendly staff. I tried the enchiladas, and they were filled with savory goodness. What made my visit memorable was the house-made salsa bar. While my meal was enjoyed, the pricing was a tad higher than I would have liked. All in all, I left satisfied and will return to explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I genuinely enjoy coming to Xalos, but I must say that yesterday’s experience fell a bit short. While the food lives up to its reputation, I felt that the staff could have been more attentive. Ordered the fajita burrito, and while the ingredients were fresh, they were a little lukewarm when served. A little more care is needed, but I will continue supporting this spot for its delicious food! " (*Curated Review*)
