" I decided to try XICA for a quick lunch and I was pleasantly surprised. The aesthetics of the restaurant are lovely, with colorful murals and a comfortable atmosphere. I ordered the chicken wings and a side of guacamole. While the wings were great, the guacamole was honestly one of the best I've had. It was creamy and full of flavor. The only downside was that the service was a bit slow – it took a while for my order to come out. But overall, a wonderful experience that I'll certainly repeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" XICA is definitely a must-visit if you're in the San Francisco area. The ambiance is vibrant, and the food is uniquely delicious. I had the street tacos and shared a platter of nachos—both were good. The service was decent, though it could be faster during peak times. Despite some hiccups in the service, I would certainly go back for another meal as the overall dining experience was still enjoyable. " (*Curated Review*)

" Engaging atmosphere and delightful food! I enjoy visiting XICA whenever I'm in town. What I had on my recent trip was a beef mole dish that caught my eye, and it did not disappoint! The beef was tender and complemented well by the flavor-rich sauce. The service was friendly, although I did have to wait longer than I would have liked for drink refills. Overall, a recommendable spot for all Mexican food lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't recommend this restaurant enough! The gluten-free options are a game changer. Typically, I have to check menus closely, but at XICA, I felt completely relaxed ordering. I tried their famed churro waffles for dessert and wow, it was the best way to end the meal! The staff were friendly and also quite knowledgeable about the menu. I was impressed with how fresh everything tasted—definitely a must-try for anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Can’t say anything bad about this place! I had the chicken mole and it was so rich and savory. The portions were generous and allowed me to take some home for lunch the next day. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming. We enjoyed cocktails while we waited for our food, and they were superb. I left feeling satisfied and happy. Would absolutely recommend it!

" XICA is an absolute gem in the city. From the moment I stepped in, the vibrant decor made me feel welcome. The service was friendly, and I got some great suggestions for my meal. I went for the loaded fries and steak quesadilla, which were great, but I found the quesadilla a touch smaller than expected. Regardless, I left satisfied and eagerly awaiting my next trip back. Definitely pack your appetite! " (*Curated Review*)

" Highly recommend XICA for anyone who prefers gluten-free foods! Excellent service and divine flavors in every dish. I accompanied my friend who is gluten intolerant, and she loved everything. The staff was also great at suggesting menu items. The only drawback I encountered was some of the wait times during busy hours; however, the service was helpful and attentive. Overall, a great spot to experience! " (*Curated Review*)
