Xochi

Connie Kwok

Xochi’s Sunday buffet is an incredible way to taste a wide range of dishes from one of Houston’s most reputable restaurants. It’s a beautiful space and feels special the moment you walk in, which makes it perfect for a celebratory meal — especially after a big weekend or milestone. The staff were professional, friendly, and attentive throughout the entire visit. Definitely make a reservation; the buffet is popular, and there’s live music on Sundays that adds a really lovely atmosphere. The food itself was very good, with excellent flavors and a fun variety of dishes. The guacamole and cold salads were standouts — fresh, bright, and delicious. The biggest disappointment temperature: most items on the buffet were room temperature unless they had just come out steaming hot. If everything had been served hot, the meal would have been truly exceptional. It is such a shame because there is a lot of hard work that goes into the dishes: the fish was standout for me! That said, the dessert buffet was the undeniable star of the show. The variety, presentation, and flavors were all fantastic — easily one of the most memorable parts of the experience. A great way to sample the breadth of Xochi’s menu and enjoy a festive, elevated Sunday meal!

Incredible food and a 90% gluten free menu. Our service was great, food came quickly. Very busy on a Friday night but we got a seat at the bar easily. Delicious food, great cocktail selection, lots of mezcal options. Cool ambiance.

It was my first time trying Oaxacan food, and I’m glad we visited Xochi! The mole and octopus was delicious! Drinks were also creative and the cacao dessert exceeded my expectations. An absolute must try! (FYI they have valet parking which is easier and more affordable than the nearby lot parking).

Xochi has a nice interior decor. Sat at the bar. Service was prompt and bartenders were nice. Ordered Xochi-rita and enjoyed it! Got the Barbacoa de Res en Zaachila and it was delicious! Meat was very tender/lean. Great for date nights/hangouts/business meetings.

Began with a mezcal Paloma that was well balanced. Had the beef cheek bar bite which was perfectly cooked, the greens were a little gritty but the fresh blue corn tortillas were incredibly perfect for leaving no mole behind. I got the mushroom and goat cheese tortilla with a different mood, also delicious. I ended my meal with a chocolate pudding with a chocolate cake that was far from a death by chocolate and more of a quiet seduction by chocolate. Very good.
